Round 16 vs Storm

[Dragsters]

Damn, great effort but our inexperienced halves have made it tough

Agreed.

Great effort. I thought Nicholls was composed tonight and Field tried hard but too many errors and poor options from him.

I thought Luc was great tonight.

He ran hard and made plenty of back to back tackles.

The rookies all tried hard and kept us in it.

The storms 17 plus Cummins were just too good for us tonight, but not by much...

 

[jeffdragon]

Melbourne too professional tonight. Best for mine: McInnes, Luciano, Lawrie. Honorable mentions to Sims and Rava.
Cummins appaling

Cummins is a prick

 

[FlameThrower]

Errors, poor 5th tackle options, terrible ref and gave away penalties at critical times.
Host, Lafai and Field were disappointing .
Decent effort but not smart enough in the end...

 

[j0nesy]

You guys are harsh, the young blokes had a good go. Can’t believe people are writing some of them off already. They were a bit unlucky in the end. Some very soft calls from the refs. Didn’t get the rub of the green on those. Dufty was excellent tonight.

 

[Mickthedragon]

Dumb play by Host costs us. He's not nrl standard and neither is Field.
Nicolls i can understand cause he is older and its known but Field is supposed to have potential and be a possible star. He doesn't look up to it.
Comical defence from Aitken and Dufty gives them a try when Hugges even falls over and neither dives on him.
The team is full of dumb footy players and is error prone. They tried their guts out but just don't have it.

 

[Como Connection]

Why was Korbin not playing more minutes in the second half.
CC

 

[jeffdragon]

Can someone start a 'gofundme' contract on Cummins?

It a go f**k himself page.

 

[Blood&Bandage]

We were our own worst enemy tonight, drop balls, stupid penalties and woeful 5th play options!!!!
We had it and let it go.
The effort was definitely there, the line speed in defence and the chase on the opposition kicker was much improved.
I can stomach a loss when the effort is there.
If the effort continues we might just be in with a chance

 

[Dragonsamy]

A

Also defensively poor

B.s. host did 33 tackles and play well

 

[41yearsaint]

Luciano stepped up. Damn, there goes my left one.

 

[Dragsters]

He ain’t a first grader

Probably not but he's far from the worst we've had...

 

[Mickthedragon]

Dumb play from Host was very costly.
Host and Field don't look up to it.
Can understand with Nicolls as he's a reserve grader but Field, Host and others are meant to be coming through with potential. They don't seem to show enough. This team is full of silly errors.

 

[Old Timer]

What the hell was Aitken doing when Melbourne scored that try?? The guy was on the ground and he just stood there.

That was the critical moment of the entire game
If they don’t score there we had the momentum.
The other issue was Lawrie got far too much ball at critical moments.

 

[2010]

They tried their best, refereeing was a joke, Field, not first grade half, how many times did he get caught on the last. Aitken, what can you say about his performance, consistent, terrible.
We got beat, but we were in it longer then I thought we would be.
Rava, Sims Lucky and Cam stood out.

 

[Blood Shot Eyes]

What the hell was Aitken doing when Melbourne scored that try?? The guy was on the ground and he just stood there.

Yep and as long as McGrexit is in charge this bloke will be in 1st grade.....I can honestly say without hesitation we would be the only club in the NRL that caters for these type of players

 

[Michaeldragonslife25]

Refs

 

[ST Tangles 01]

Dufty's best game actually ran it back hard.
We tried Smith controlled the game and the refs.
We finished closer than I thought we would.
Looked like Lafai is still injured.
McInnes again was a machine.
We have not had much luck with the refs this year.

 

[Overseas dragon]

Jai Field is the shittest player to ever pull on the Jersey.

50 point win anybody

 

[jeffdragon]

Melbourne too professional tonight. Best for mine: McInnes, Luciano, Lawrie. Honorable mentions to Sims and Rava.
Cummins appaling

Professional bullshit .
Cummins had a lot to do with it.

 

[getsmarty]

Gutsy effort from our guys....poor ref + poor coaching...our attack was rubbish..poor shape....

Storm were off their game....Can't fault the effort from our players.....
