Match Discussion: Round 9 vs North Qld @ Queensland Country Bank Stadium, Townsville

[Sir Galahad]

refs are piling on the penalties ffs

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

And he’s hurt of course

Of course he is, only ordinary Ponga stays injury free lol

The thing is... there's a real sadness to this statement. You're right - it's the best we've looked in a while - but it's still shit! Our line speed is awful, our ruck work is sub-par and our ball movement is 9 times out of 10 clunky as hell. No players in motion when we move the ball, and the ones that bother put in a half hearted "I'm not really getting the ball" jog.

It's just shit. Shit, shit, shit. We seem to think we can compete in the NRL putting in little bursts of effort every 5 or 10 minutes, and just coasting through the rest.

I feel ya brother. Nailed it.

Great try. That's why Ponga needs to be on the ball constantly.

On another note, why is Crossland even out there? What is his role in attack? To waste time as a pointless link in the line? If we cut Crossland out, we get the exact same result only faster. Does he not understand that he needs to go to the line to put the defence in 2 minds?

Haven’t noticed him again today for a starting half that’s not good

 

[Knight Tales]

That ball would be like soap with that humidity.

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

My God were a dumb team.. WTF Dom

 

[Tom155]

Can’t fault Dom’s effort wish it would rub off on some of the other guys

 

[Walk On Home Boy]

I still like that from Young. How often do our players chase kicks like that?

 

[Seage]

Why wouldn't Young jump for the ball. You're at full speed. You have the advantage. But no, another dumb penalty.

 

[Knight Tales]

Dom wanting a battle out there . Stupid penalty but the kid has some cheek in him.

 

[Tom155]

Ponga was pissed Randall went to Crossland there plod to plod

visible frustration

 

[Walk On Home Boy]

Need a couple more Klemmers

 

[Tom155]

Klemmer is our best forward and it’s not close right now

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

RANDALL!!!!

 

[Zoidberg]

Sexy Texy

 

[perverse]

Fair play, great work from Hoy there.

 

[Walk On Home Boy]

Brilliant from Hoy. Playing eyes up. Refreshing.

 

[Knight Tales]

This is some bullshit! Tex is killing it.

 

[Tom155]

Wtf we are winning?

if they don’t take this try off

 

[Woosh]

Didn’t I say Hoy will have a good game tonight?
