Rnd 4 vs Sharks Game Day Thread

[Chipmunk]

Well I thought last week was our worse game under BA, today was even worse !!!

At this stage we are a bottom 4 team!!

I think you've got to give the standard of the opponent some credit. Their defence was pretty good. But having said that our attack didn't worry them much.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Brown made around 110 metres and 40 tackles, he was the least of our problems............

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Long kicking game was pretty ordinary. Probably cos we rarely got to the fifth tackle.

 

[Happy MEel]

Arthur needs to revoke every forward's licence to pass and offload in our half. It is now blatantly obvious that we're incapable of being selective about it so it's time they toughen up, tuck the ball under their arm, make good metres and complete. We were our own worst enemy and deserved the loss. We also looked terrible in attack.

 

[strider]

Interestingly we made more metres and missed less tackles then the Sharks. Also got more penalties!!

Gee if only we could complete our sets !!

Yeah we got 20 penalties in the last 10 minutes

 

[Bazal]

He's not even close to an 80 minute player.

He's not even close to an NRL player

 

[Happy MEel]

Also Kritchard was terrible!!!

Sharks are a shadow of their 2016 form, we complete our sets at around 85-90 % and we win tonight!! Just didn't build any pressure!!

Sharks of last year put 40-50 points on us tonight.

It's a very sad state of affairs when we have useless Kaysa as our first choice and then Nathan f**ken Brown as the next choice

De Gois can't get back soon enough...

 

[Bazal]

Brown made around 110 metres and 40 tackles, he was the least of our problems............

He was a bit loose tonight, but he was ok. Bortman has just selected him as his latest irrational scapegoat. Hayne, Mannah, Brown....he's in esteemed company

Nah he cost us the game, just ask Bort........

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Really don't think Kaysa was that bad. Hookers are always going to miss a few in the middle due to their size. And he stopped plenty of their big men!! The only error I can recall was from the scrum late in the second half.

A few times tonight, there wasn't really a runner ready putting a lot of pressure on Kaysa to make the right decision.

Tonight came down to ball control, and not sure another hooker will automatically fix that.

Stating the obvious here but we need to bring in a new half and hooker next year. I like Gutho, and we need to find a spot for him at centre but we need another organising option.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Anyhow we are complaining about the refs, I reckon there biggest f**k up was late in the first half where Gutherson made a break and gave it to French. And pretty sure it was Gallen who stopped us getting a quick play the ball.

That should have been 10 in the bin!! Disgusting decision!!

 

[bartman]

Lol, I gave him three points last week... and might do so again.

No idea what you're rambling about!

I'd agree the Sharks arent anywhere near the team they were last year.

Their defence was spot on tonight though and they moved up and put pressure on our attack all night.

Our lack of ball control didn't help matters, but some of that can partially be put down to their attitude in defence.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Anyhow we have some luck next week, Hodgson may be out:

[Dibs]

Seriously this is so hard to watch!!

Yep it was that hard to watch that in the 2nd half I created a spreadsheet of all the stats for the season of the junior cricket side I coach to work out who will get the trophies on presentation day rather than watch.

 

[Fanbase]

bahahaha, last week eels were awful against massively under strength titts team, this week eels offered nothing, looked unorganised and no ideas. Eel's in trouble mark my works idiots.

De Gois can't get back soon enough...
