Round 14 vs the Raiders

[billypilgrimnz]

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.

So what you are saying, the two players who YOU didn't want moved both were kind of shitty if you ignore like literally everything else good that they did?

Gotcha.

What had happened to Whare? He has been almost anonymous the last 2 weeks. No spark in attack and doesn't help carry the ball out our half.

Moylan is a left side player. Cleary was too Cleary got moved and will take time to adjust then our right side will see more ball. Also CHN is a hole runner not ball player. JFH can offload so that will help

How is that different then every post about Bryce at 5/8th?

I was more pointing out the issues we need to fix before we play a real team in 2 weeks.

 

[billypilgrimnz]

Dylan Edwards: 231 running meters, 15 tackle breaks, 1 line break, 1 try assist, no missed tackles

Matt Moylan: 125 running meters, 1 try, 1 line break, 2 try assists, 3 line break assists

Franklin: They were okay, I guess, but missed tackles and one try conceded because the Canberra player knocked the ball out in a contest for the ball means I'm probably still right.....

How is it different? Moylan is a genuine 5/8th and Edwards is a better fullback than Moylan. That is how it is different. It is pretty obvious.

Aside from a trial and SOO Moylan's last game at 5/8th was 2012 Bryce was often a 5/8th in NSW Cup and NYC after that. Maybe in the future Edwards will be not atm he isn't. So I am still yet to be convinced the move has made us better RIGHT NOW. It does set us up for the future though

They scored 2 tries off bombs. Would of had a 3rd if Baptiste scores. When is the last time we conceded 2 tries off bombs?

 

[billypilgrimnz]

Yeah, the one that they scored off the bomb that WENT TO MOYLAN and he stood there and watched it. Do you mean that one?

 

[billypilgrimnz]

No, he is now. You just want to be right, so of course all his flaws are magnified for you.

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

The try CHN scored on the weekend.

They're some juicy stats. If they can keep that up we'll be hard to beat.

So I imagined the handling errors? That is what I said all along with having him FB.

Yep it took until the 78th min before we did something different. Croker and Cotric can't defend yet we kept going left. BJ just kept lining Moylan up as it was so predictable. It will come hopefully sooner then later

You did imagine him conceding two tries off bombs when he was involved in only one of them, so who knows anymore, huh?

Moylan has always wanted to be a 6 not a 1 and he's had the attributes for it. It's more luck that's kept him out. These changes very clearly make us better. Aside from being reffed out of the game we weren't that bad on the weekend and would have lost if earlier in the year.

 

[billypilgrimnz]

I don't think we played all that well, but it wasn't BECAUSE we had Edwards at 1 and Moylan at 6. The stupid penalties and lapses in concentration are our trademark, and our fifth tackle options are still as dodgy as they were before Moylan was there, so it would be churlish to blame that on him yet - give him a few games at least.

Our coach is the common factor - he's just not that great. Hopefully we have the talent to power through that little problem though....

I wouldn't say the Raiders "aren't a real team". Sure they're not in the 8 (and NQ will be more dangerous) but they're dangerous enough for the win to be a good sign imo.

No Cotric's 1st try was off a bomb he put down. BJ's was a different one

It was 4 tries all. Canberra dropped the ball over the line for 2 others that is what I meant about we should of lost. Every stat backed that up

Canberra are a very dumb team. Don't seem to stick to game plans NQ won't do the same. It will be a great test
