Rnd 1 vs Warriors

[Joshuatheeel]

Not competing sets is killing us - we need to start competing sets

 

[Maroubra Eel]

Hayne back giving the refs the respect they deserve

lol

 

[Eelogical]

Thankfully it's almost half time

 

[cureme]

You stick your head down you're asking for it to be hit. FMD. It's ok for tomkins to push hayne in the back well after putting the ball down.

 

[hineyrulz]

lol Hayne.

He was going for the ball harsh call on the penalty try.

 

[IFR33K]

Isn't it an 8 point try if the foul occurs after the ball has been grounded?

Terepo clearly hits him before he grounds it.

doing nothing when we had countless opportunities inside their 10 has cost us

never looked like we were even trying to score

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

What I find strange is that the on-field ref decided to call for the video review simply b/c the try scorer was bleeding. If he wasn't bleeding, nothing would have happened. We'll have to remember to smuggle some blood capsule on in the 2nd half.

 

[Parramatta1947]

Refs getting the Warriors back in it - but really, we are throwing it away

no

if it happens in the process of scoring a try

Double edged sword. Playing the razzle dazzle game comes with it's down side as well.

 

[Parramatta1947]

It was soft - yes the guy was injured but if there wasn't blood, it wouldn't be looked at

That sort of the tackle happens in every game many timesr

Doesn't have to be after the ball is grounded, but has to be 'in the act of scoring the try'....and it is arguable that it was not (he was in the field of play I think).

 

[Sphagnum]

Ma'u and Kelepi would be one hell of a starting backrow.

I told you Tompkins was shit, ya knob.

 

[Kornstar]

no

As long as they're consistent, which they are not........that's why the merkins cop so much shit!

Should have taken the 2 a few times.

 

[Chipmunk]

Seen enough so far to like what I see. A couple of quick mentions.

Peats - Energy has been awesome. He will be a great buy.

Ma'u - Shows enormous promise.

Realistically we could have been heaps in front, but in a way that is probably a good thing. Means we have to start again in the second half. I will be interested to see how we finish.

I think we are never going to be the team that is going to 'close out a game'...which is now the reason we went from 14-4 to 14-12 at half time.

Looking forward to the second half.

PS - Parra wouldnt be playing if Ben Smith cannot give away a penalty in the play the ball...

 

[Eelogical]

Ok.....half time summaries from the lounge lizards please. I think they are playing better than last year so far, they have more purpose. Still have those stupid mistakes in them from the last few seasons though.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Manu would have to be a good chance for rookie of the year if he keeps on playing like tonight

 

[The Colonel]

Feleti looks like he has swallowed a fridge.

If the penalty was anywhere else on the field it would never have been looked at. Pathetic really.

I like the razzle dazzle but a bit of composure at times would go well too.

That's what I was thinking too.
