R2 // Knights 20-26 Raiders @ Hunter // Sun 6.30pm

[Burns]

Ugh.

 

[Chicken_Hunter]

Does McKinnon actually offer anything these days except an error and being laid on his back?

 

[aqua_duck]

We need to f**ken hold on to the ball

 

[Burns]

Error again !

 

[aqua_duck]

Honestly I know Perenara can't count to 6 but even not withstanding that he's a shit ref

 

[Chicken_Hunter]

Well we couldn't have played much worse in the first half. Sloppy all round.

 

[Johns Magic]

Uate having a great game thus far

 

[Jono078]

I think we've got this in the second half.

Can't have a worse half than that.

 

[Nuffy]

Raiders are jumping off the line constantly and that's causing us to lack cohesion in attack.

We are super slow from dummy half and dropping too much ball.

The penalty count is a joke, both teams are doing the same things but we are the only ones being penalised.

 

[perverse]

I just think we lack direction in attack. We're making it up a lot of the time. Dobson kicking early in the count on their tryline was good vision, but you have to execute perfectly otherwise it hurts to give away the ball so cheaply.

House has been good, Snowy was good in his first stint.

 

[Chicken_Hunter]

I reckon we actually looked better with Waddell at hooker over gids

 

[perverse]

I reckon we actually looked better with Waddell at hooker over gids

Agreed.

 

[Whats Doing]

We are getting monstered when both Mason and Snowden are off.

We are not premiership threat unless we get some big boppers to support Mase and Snowy.

 

[perverse]

Yeah, we need more size/physicality in the front row, but this is no secret.

 

[Nuffy]

Geez we miss Mullo and another unlucky start to the season with injuries.

What other club is missing their two best players already in 2014?

 

[Rod]

Not that bad to be level considering they'd kept getting piggy-backed down the field compared to us.

Agreed our attack looks a little bit clunky, though not terrible mind you.

 

[Nuffy]

It's not the size as much as no size and a lack of mobility as a substitute.

Our second stringers lack size and mobility so we get cut up in the ruck and in second phase.

 

[Nuffy]

Same pattern, another penalty

 

[Nuffy]

Gagai and Uate look good

 

[Chicken_Hunter]

Good to see minto backing his ability
