Round 22 v Titans

[herbert henry1908]

Maloney must be rested next week, it’s ridiculous how many points he’s costing us through intercepts or missed tackles.

The intercepts thing in particular needs to be sorted out ASAP, defence won’t be so easy.

That was a nice try. How the hell is Sivo still behind Philips and Crichton?

Collected one of the Roo players high. Might get a sit down.

I think we need to run Luai at 5/8 and Egan at hooker. May isn’t adding anything in the role he’s being deployed. Maloney is cactus. Cleary is coming into form and I think Maloney is just getting in his way. Luai can just add a different point and let Cleary run 80% of our game.

I mean changes aside, every one of them is dropping the ball and giving away dumb penalties so changes won’t fix too much. They just need to switch on. Hopefully that comeback buys them some space to get their heads right and prepare rather than the pummeling we would have got all week with a loss.

One more week to switch on really or we are going to be cannon fodder for the rest of the year.

 

[herbert henry1908]

Missing Aussie Jim, who'd have thought. Merrin wasn't much chop either.

Tamou has actually been pretty good of recent, busted the line a few times too.

Hetherignton needs to see a sports psychologist. Absolute turkey.

Isn't Luai busted still?

Watched the game in Linyi in China on my phone. Hard to see, but it didn't look like the refs gave us too much. The defence in the oppositions half looked really good. Whare has picked a up a lot and is running really well.
We were definitely unlucky not to score a couple of tries in normal time. Another weekend of 3 wins in 3 grades. We are definitely becoming a power house in the NRL.
Wouldn't it be great to finish top 4 in all grades!

Luia is out for weeks, might be able to play in the finals last I heard.

Agree on Egan though.

Didn’t watch the game at all but just saw the last couple of comments & flicked across. Another MOTM for Keighran, everyone’s sleeping on this bloke, he looks a real prospect!

Watched the game - he was pretty much the only 1 that looked likely to create anything most of the game. Did he start in the centres this year? If so, I'd be happy to see him in our Top 30 next year.

Scenes when Griffin was fired

how f**king awful was the commentary though. every other minute they were talking about the off field drama. people just want to hear the footy

Hes the worst defender in the comp at his best ffs. Add injury and form issues... its nothing short of miraculous to havr won 3 in arow with him

They were also clearly supporting Titans.

The interecepts are killing me the most, I knew he was a bad defender but the intercepts keep happening and they’re easier to correct.

The intercepts & defence in combo are terrible.

If Luia was fit I’d consider dropping him altogether, but he should rest up next week.

May to 6 woupd be easy enough. May won't let us down.

For next week for sure, but to be any chance in the finals we’re going to need Maloney.

 

[CCJohnC]

Only saw part of first half and all second half. Thought CHN played well.

 

[Abacus]

Great to see Whare getting some form back.

Gus masterstroke to sign him up long term.

Did you hear shervington the f**k wit say “ to me this looks like a team not happy with having lost their coach”
The team looked exactly like what Hook has made it.

He needs to be 100% though.

The penalty when he came back on was nitpicking.
