Rnd 4 vs Sharks Game Day Thread

I said it 2 yrs ago.
Call in the duke!!!

Look I'll have a word with him

 

[hindy111]

BA is a great coach getting players motivayed but tactically im npt convinced

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Kaysa Pritchard is the second coming of Ant Mitchell. Unbelievably overrated and offers absolutely nothing

Except Pritchard is a good defender.

 

[hindy111]

Duke help
Duke help
Duke help

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I think both teams have been pretty ordinary tonight guys

Sharks' defence was awesome. Ours wasn't bad but a couple of lapses led to tries.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Yeah we got 20 penalties in the last 10 minutes

When teams are a couple of tries in front they will always concede the penalty rather than allow the quick play-the-ball. Refs can only stop it by using the bin.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

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.

Yep. Gutherson is a solid first grader and deserves a spot in the side. But it's inside the opposition 20 where you really need two genuine halves.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

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.

f**ken nerd

 

[Poupou Escobar]

7 missed tackles is high for any player, particularly someone in the middle where one-on-one tackles are less likely.

With his line speed one-on-one tackles are very common. If he was a hooker who sat back in the defensive line like Robbie Farah he would miss plenty less, but then he wouldn't be doing the job his coach wants from him.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Ha. We have not beaten Canberra down there in 10 f**king years and they are coming off a loss too.

We will get pumped.

I'm already getting pumped.

Call in the f**kn duke

Duke duke duke duke duke duke duke

We virtually have 24 Away games this season and the same next year.

Yeah Souths and Canterbury have struggled since having no home games.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Really? So 4 people needed to cover 1 player? F*cking moron

They're covering the space, not the players. The more men in the tackle the better.

 

[Chipmunk]

Yeah Souths and Canterbury have struggled since having no home games.

I'm sorry, since when are we Souths or Canterbury?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I'm sorry, since when are we Souths or Canterbury?

Since Pirtek Stadium got burnt to the ground.

 

[TheParraboy]

our completion rates were terrible last 2 weeks, whats more a lot of the errors we made were early in the tackle count. That's suicide in the NRL, Until the side collectively fixes that we are gonna lose a lot more games than we win this year.

I think Kaysa has being doing a decent job, but he was far more threatening in attack last year when DeGois was in the run on side and Kaysa came off the bench. I think when Kenny Edwards comes back into the side we will have a batter balance in the forward pack, too many predictable players there now with no footwork and or no offload in them.

 

[Happy MEel]

With his line speed one-on-one tackles are very common. If he was a hooker who sat back in the defensive line like Robbie Farah he would miss plenty less, but then he wouldn't be doing the job his coach wants from him.

The job the coach wants him to do his lead the line speed and then hit and stick until he gets more help from the other middle forwards. He didn't do that 7 times last night.

If that's acceptable, what's a missed tackle number that's unacceptable for someone with that role? I'd argue about 3 or 4.

Maybe we need a club scandal to inspire the boys....
