Post game discussion v Souths

[Bandwagon]

Dummy half wasn't ready anyway.

Moses has every right to expect the dummy half is there.

Where was Sammy tonight? Wishing he was playing SOO too? Mind not on the game?

getting driven backwards that's where he was

 

[Eelementary]

I was watching him closely because I liked the signing of him at the time and he seems to have developed a little bit more leg drive in attack and is not looking to force the offload every time he has a hit-up which he was definitely guilty of last year. A few times he was dragging 4 players into the tackle which was a good way to help compress their defence.
@Eelementary

I like that he took it to the Souths pack in attack, and defence.

He was very good last night!

Having the right and what's actually there aren't always the same thing.

 

[The EELiminator]

He tried to milk it instead of valuing possession at an important time .... cos he is a dumb shit

same with burning a tackle running into the markers trying to milk a penalty sometimes you need to just get on with playing the game

we're parra no ref will give us a penalty anyway

 

[84 Baby]

Proceed.

Obviously, the point is it aint on Moses that the dummy half isn't in position.

 

[emjaycee]

No but missing the class behind the big pack to take advantage of their platform to put the usual 40 or 50 on you

Ok, righto, gotcha.
Thanks for coming.

Not sure where you get the usual 40 or 50 from mate.
In our last 10 clashes you have put 40 on us once (2018) and by the way we are 5-5 in those last 10 games.

But... but.. he didn't have the class around him to take advantage of the platform he and his fellow forwards laid.

Moses had every right to think he would get a penalty based on history! They blow that a penalty every f**king weekend without fail. We get the shits cause we ended up getting screwed by the most inept officials in the world so we turn our anger to our own players.

Did Sivo touch that ball? On the few replays they showed at the game it looked like he didn't, so they cost us a try and then Souths got the scrum and then the softest penalty of the game and they scored.

The penalties were head scratchers to be honest, we were getting penalised for the same things Souths were doing and not getting penalised......i'd love know why referees consistently do this because you see it in so many games over a weekend and they are never held accountable and are never asked questions.

They have a hard job and can't get it right all the time but not taking criticism and feedback won't ever let you improve. Why can't they be grilled and held accountable rather than protected all the time?

 

[Kornstar]

f**king auto-correct!!!!!

 

[84 Baby]

So if Dogs win by 58, we go to 7th.
Unless Cows win by 48

 

[Kornstar]

Now you've done it!

That was the most corrupt refereeing performance i have seen for some time. I will always say they are completely inept but what we witnessed tonight was bordering on needing to check their bank accounts.

I understand Souths were severely depleted but that’s not our fault, why make sure you keep them in the game? If you don’t like teams playing without players then change the f**king rep season or figure something out.

We were prepared and we turned up and should have won by more if not for the referees.

The team changes worked, next week should be interesting against a much better side..........

Couldn't agree more. I have sportsears. On at least 4 occasions the referees called a Souths player offside and when they made the tackle there was no penalty. On another occasion a player was a metre offside next to the referee and no penalty. There was one set where every tackle Liam Knight was told to get back. Penalise him he's taking the piss. So much for getting home town penalties, Souths won them 8-5. They went into the game with a mindset to give Souths a leg up

It's no surprise we concede the most amount of tries through the middle third of the field... At least that was the stat I heard a couple of weeks back and Tim Grant's try last week and the 2 Souths scored last night only confirmed that deficiency. The likes of Fifita and Gallen will be looking to continue down that path next week. Our middle third defence inside our own 10 needs some focus. 3 of the softest tries of the season conceded in the last 2 games...

Other thoughts... Hoffman has been going great guns, really happy for him. I'd like to see a bit more of Ray Stone. I'd be inclined to re-sign him as I think he'd be good value at the moment and looks a reliable back up at worst...

I think you have it wrong 84 .... there needs to be a morning of the day after thread and then an afternoon of the day after thread, possibly even a night of the day after thread

Of course Gallen will be running it up the middle, he knows no other option

True dat... Probably 3 times a set though as opposed to his standard 2!!

and how many of our penalties were given in the second half to even up the count after souths were given the keys to the lollyjar early on
