Round 14 vs the Raiders

[TheFrog]

Seriously out of form? Really?!

Read the posts in this forum around rounds 18-20 last year. He had a couple of very poor performances there.

What's done is done.Absolutely stupid to argue in hindsight.

We have just got our fourth win in a row, with a bye next week which leads into a clash with a surely Origin affected team in Townsville.

Considering how dog shit the lower teams are doing this season, we will probably need 7 wins from the last 11 games to make the finals.A 7-4 record at the least, with our remaining games, should be achieved.

If we want to do anything this year we have the talent but we just have to play smarter (particularly with gifting the opposition field position via penalties).

 

[Doomednow]

We gave away dumb penalties and made stupid mistakes in that Canberra game but I feel like we aren't usually that bad in that respect.

 

[TheEroticGamer]

Canberra had so many poorly timed extra defenders flopping into tackles through out the whole night, yet they still managed to win the penalty count...by three.

Not blaming the players for how differently a moron refereed each team.

I don't mind if we cop it through poor discipline but that game seemed really off to me. The shoulder charge that wasn't. Mansour knock on which was a penalty in yesterdays Roosters game. Plus some ruck penalties.

Fair enough, I didn't realise you were referring to this off season.

Where did you get that info though? Did you watch the trials?

I got mixed up with the 2016 trials I went to I think.

Watched the game again and the amount of times the Canberra dummy half was allowed to push our tacklers off was ridiculous

I did the same today , we were beaten around the edges by the raiders all night . The refs just blew the whistle when they felt like it and mostly against us and no consistency what so ever !
We dodged a bullet big time .

Mansour 20 metre tap about 10 from time the entire Raiders side were in front of the 30 metre line.

Time after time in the second half Canberra got penalties when coming out of trouble.

Only one side was reffed in the second half, no doubt about it.

I was sitting on about the 15 metre line on the north west corner - probably 3 metres from the sideline. The instruction from the coach was to play it on the last and take it up the middle about 5 minutes or so from the end. It was shouted out to two players near the side line from one of the reserves in front of me.

Next game vs NQL is Thurston's 300th game if he gets through Origin...

 

[TheEroticGamer]

You'd have to think Thurston won't be 100% after Origin considering his injury, but you just know we are going to be in a tough fight considering the match will be based off "a major milestone for the greatest player ever".

Then again who gives a shit if they break the hearts of players and fans of the other team?I can think of a guy who's name rhymes with Doylan who certainly couldn't give less of a shit.

Hope next year when the game is in Bathurst,Fox has the mindset to elevate the cameras above snail height.

It will be a tough game. Up there and a big milestone. I look forward to Matt "Heartbreaker" Moylan keeping our run going.

We lost a few games earlier in the year we should of won. This is one we should of lost and won. very ordinary for huge parts of it.

Edwards showed good touches but also cost us a try and almost 2 if Baptiste held his. I imagine the abuse the coach would of copped if that was Moylan. On Moylan ordinary 1st half and 5 missed tackles yet did good things is very Bryce like but will be overlooked because people like Moylan and not Bryce as a 6.

 

[franklin2323]

A second rower who did a good job of it when combined with the tactic of bringing Moynl up as a virtual 5/8th. The thing that's great about the forum is everybody's entitled to their opinion. We will have to agree to disagree on DWZ who you like at fullback (I don't) and Cartwright who you don't rate and I do.

Us Forumites having different opinions on players qualities is probably not too different from the coaches. Some rate players, some don't. It's amazing how many sports biographies you read and a player says' The new gaffer didn't fancy me at all. He told me I wouldn't get picked so I should look elsewhere'. Cue player storming off to a new club and playing brilliantly.

Also what on that and your earlier posts.

was our round 1 last year team. Moylan got injured playing 6 in a trial (Hook's 1st game). Peachey used in round 2. then TMM. The game TMM was injured Bryce went to 6. JFH had a blinder in that game - a game we almost won with a 2 man bench. JFH playing well would of made the Bryce to 6 decision easier. Add to the fact Moylan was in SOO and not with the team much. We were on fire so why change a winning team?

Edwards, Hardaker and DWZ all played FB v Sharks too and were average kept Moylan at FB too. Also Moylan was out most of 2015 footage the coaching staff would of used to make their decision

 

[franklin2323]

Are you implying he moved Moylan without being forced to? Because he literally put a second rower there before trying Moylan.

No Moylan was injured playing a trial last year in 6. Was more a case of finding a FB imo

 

[franklin2323]

He had his first double the other week. He has scored tries at a rate we havent ever seen before. Sets them up. Tell me again how playing 6 will reduce his effective with the ball.... the more ball he gets, and the earlier he gets it the better.

100% win rate at 6... including 2 wins from the ashes. His NSW win and that win this week were against the odds. Clutch plays that win games

How many times has he passed the ball on the right?
