Rd 11 vs Warriors: Live Game Day Thread - 18th May 2018

[Gazzamatta]

Warriors try from kick. Defence was Moses and SFA. Mennings 10 meters away watching, hands on hips. Made no effort whatsoever. From the kick to the grounding. He never fuc**n moved. Disgusting effort. Is he getting fatter? Lol.
French? Why fn bother. Absolutely useless input and effort.
King was very poor as well Poo.

 

[Gronk]

We got this.

Nearly got it.

Wow another 50 minutes of crap. Dropped balls, no idea in attack, and piss poor defence on our line. The less said about each of the Warriors tries the better. We only look good for short periods when we decide to run straight and hard.

Agree with the calls to sack Norman - he was by far our worst tonight. Offered zero, no sorry one repeat set, but that was it. He cannot be there next season, he is just not consistent enough and cannot organise an attacking raid to save his life.

I am sick of forwards taking a hit up on the 5th.

Arthur cannot escape criticism either - our attack is hopeless. We couldn't come up with an overlap against 12 men despite heaps of ball. Yet teams outnumber us easily.

Any thought of Moses for Origin must surely have gone out the window tonight.

Hasn’t French played in the halves in juniors? I can’t see him displacing gutho, maybe he can make the transition like Cronk did.

I've been thinking the same recently... I'm sure there was talk about him moving to the halves a while back. He's got good instincts and a feel for the game but is too small to play back 3 in this day and age. Seeing him opposing his opposite winger tonight looked like an 18 year old v a 12 year old .. If he moved to the halves he could bulk up and not worry about losing pace as he wouldn't need to rely on being super quick....

We got this.

"They did not, however, have this..."

I thought Moses had a good game.

Someone who appears to take joy in the misery of losing, who only appears when we do lose and proceeds to vomit meaningless platitudes about how they know why we lose and this and that will fix that and this, whilst bemoaning everything to do with the club and attacking anyone who attempts to be a little more rational.

See Glenneel, Haynetrain, Ron Jeremy. How many times did they lob up straight after another win last year? Almost fking never

Fair enough...I’d agree with the 3 you mentioned but I’ve seen plenty more labelled deathriders, who I am confident do not take pleasure from our shitness

Yeah that was me. Not necessarily because he'd make a great half but because I don't know if he can play anywhere else in our side. And cos Norman is f**ked.

Does universe play footy? Could slot him in somewhere I'm sure

Well I think after lingard and a couple of others had their little tanties it became a shit stir for a few posters...

Bugger, I’ll send my sarcasm detector in for a service.

 

[Snoochies]

May as well give Todd Carney a crack for half a year. Be cheap and can't be any worse and he has a point to prove.

BA would have to talk to him first.

We should still be able to defend that lead. Our goal line defence is unacceptable. If you put it down to attitude I’d argue that the players are not playing for their coach. If it’s poor structure or technique then that’s on the coaching staff. What do you put it down to pou?

I think our goal line defence is good. Every team concedes some tries. Today there was only one instance of poor team defence, and that was the last try after we gave up. The previous three tries were due to a horrific individual effort (Gennings on Hiku), a horrific bounce, and the Fusitua try at the start was just very good execution, and nobody's fault.

Our goal line attack is the problem, and without attacking forwards like Brown, Williams and Evans we are relying on others for quick play-the-balls and offloads.

The Fusitua try was poorly defended, even the commentators were saying Norman should have made a better play at him. The Gennings f**k up was poor but I can cop that being inexperience. The try off the kick was a shit bounce but guth was nowhere to be seen (I think because he was required to defend on the play before - that also happened with the Fusitua try). The Luke try was the nail in the coffin. How the f**k can a team give up when we are less than a converted try down? To me that’s the most concerning thing. I can’t see a Bellamy coached team giving up because they know they’ll cop a f**king pasting and get absolutely flogged for the next week at training. I think BA is too loyal and has become too close to the playing group.

 

[Gazzamatta]

So who is our attack coach that is so good we couldnt find a spot for Luke Burt?
Seriously our club is under massive pressure.
Finally secure new sponsors and this is what we provide for them.
New stadium next year. It will be fuc**n empty. Lets just call it Wanders Stadium and be done with it. I reckon the back room boys are having a massive amount of secret meetings. Nobody could be this patient. Who will fall on their sword first. BA or Bernie Boy.

Half back is not our issue. Handing over cheap ball is what kills us.

I agree with you Pou but our halves are struggling badly.

Attacking forwards like Brown and Evans...

FMD. One is a battering ram and no longer threatens opposition defences, and the other one is a tall streak of duck shit that seemingly has no idea how to use his physical attributes to play a contact sport to his advantage....

Deadset, are you for real?
