[Kornstar]

Souths in and conversion unsuccessful.

[Delboy]

Again ZDC fails to kick the ball dead, gives them a shot/, and they score . What a poor 7

 

[Casper The Ghost]

Crikey's our Holden Cup squad has turned to shit. What's happened? Where has it all gone wrong?

 

[Captain BF]

We only had to defend for 6 seconds at the end and couldn't.

Cheers Kornstar

When and why did we release J Lussick to Roosters?

 

[Forty20]

So that's where he ended up. The club has been pretty clandestine about the whole thing. Given that he was playing in the preseason I wonder what went down to see him at the Chooks?

One upside of his move is that Denzal Tonise has stepped up quite strongly from SG Ball.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

When and why did we release J Lussick to Roosters?

Given we poached him from another club we must have offered good money (e.g. $20k-$25k where the average for a top 20 NYC player is $12.5k) so we probably let him go to create space in the NYC cap.

He didn't look like he would be playing first grade anytime soon.

It was last year's NYC issues re-visited.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

What was?

The cap issues you mean, mate? Like when we cut a few players in the early rounds then found space to squeeze Tui Kamikamica into the NSW Cup squad?

 

[The Engineers Room]

We only had to defend for 6 seconds at the end and couldn't.

They just had no idea in the last set they were trying to get up and play the ball quickly then the halfback kicks it on the 4th tackle.

Then the Rabbitohs have a player on the blind side and no one marks up on him.

If they just rolled around and played the ball slowly the time would have run out before the 5th tackle.

 

[strider]

the art of playing the ball slow to chew up remaining time seems to have been lost ... i suspect the kiddies have it drilled into them to play the ball quick so much that they don't have the nous to pick and choose when they should

That's the one.

They've obviously never been taught the cheeky calf cramp. That always buys you a good eleven seconds.

 

[Forty20]

Do you know if anyone else was cut, half_back? Jack Morris hasn't been sighted this season despite a promising debut last year and we are desperately short on edge forwards in the 20s.

 

[Gronk]

Not sure if it's been posted but Joey Lussick has gone to the Rorters.
