Round 24 v Melbourne

[Fangs]

We outplayed them. We are in the box seat

We played pretty well. I'm not afraid of Melbourne. Play that game again and we win 9.5/10.

But the top 4 is a bonus. You get a week off with a win. This isn't the young cocky side of 2021. Its 2025 and the top 4 plus a week off is a huge help for us.

I think we need patea in this team in the finals..

Wait you like a forward who can break tackles and get over the advantage line?

Dont be soft, let's do this from 5th or 6th!

Blaize will learn from that..

Glad its now and not in a final..

If we defend like that next week against the raiders i think we will be too strong.

Need to win really the last 3 minimum 2 now. Hopefully the last 3 and bag 4th.

Only if we dont waste bench spots on Huth and Schneider.

Raiders pack is way better than Storm. We were giving Storm nothing until we subbed our starting forwards. Suddenly they went from ~25m sets to 40m sets .

We should have won still. But Storm have an inferior team to Raiders. Same effort next week is a loss IMO.

 

[Stinkfinger]

Not including golden point they couldnt break us down..

Tries of kicks and an intercept.

Still really disappointing.

We shouldve won that game.

They are 12 points more dangerous with hughes and paps back too..

We lost a fair bit with eiso on..

I thought the penalty for the field goal was a joke.. grant milked it for absolutely all it was worth.. deadset oscar worthy milking.

Not sure how to feel after that..

Because if we do come up against them again im not sure how we stop coates.

He was the start and finish of their attack for the first hour, but in the back end they got some field position and put some plays on.

Raiders can't hang in finals type footy.

I'll deal with that mentally when it comes. Will consult my psychic on High street.

Until then I want a top 4 finish. That means we must go hard against the Raiders and Bulldogs.

 

[Fangs]

Don't forget Raiders are coming off a bye for next week's match.

That is going to be an absolute mutt of a game. Young will probably gouge out the eyes of our whole 17.

This is the game we were meant to win. The future is cloudy.

Ooh baby don't lose your smug.

 

[Hamstring awareness]

Frustrating loss. The intercept was a massive sliding doors moment, we were in full control up until that point and then were simply outsmarted in the end. I thought Edwards was good but those 2 dropped balls were incredibly costly. To’o and Talagi chose a bad time to play their worst games in months. We need Patea and Yeo back badly, if only to relegate Eisenhuth back to Cup. Hopefully Martin and McLean are ok.

 

[Luke Bowden]

We don't really have a long kicking game. Nathan's kicking distance/hight is way down and has been all year

What’s his average compared to last year?

Was a hell of a lot more than just who was on the field at the time because we were dominate the first 15 mins of the second half with those same players on. The try swung momentum and Storm got rolling off the back of it.

This is 100% eyes test. Id like to see that stats but its pretty clear to me

Will he though?

I like the kid a lot, but he doesn't seem to have an off switch. And he needs one.

He's a fullback. Dyl to Perth is a red hot chance imo

Yeah its up in the air.

Tailagi and McClean. I love both of them. But they need some maturity tablets for these upcoming matches.

Long term both are going to be huge. But if they want their first title they need to get it together now.

I see that too. Almost premeditates what low percentage play he’s gonna run with and can’t pull it back in.

Hes 19 or so in basically his first year of fg...

Of course he will..

I dont think we will see something like that again.

His improvements from the start of the year to now is huge

 

[Murraymob1]

I feel we may have bottled top 4 tonight. Warriors may be playing poorly but they have a fairly easy draw and Broncos and Sharks also have very winnable games. Now I feel we have to win at least 2 of the last 3 games.

Broncos and sharks will get them

 

[Murraymob1]

Hardly the end of the world .Yes disappointing but it was a golden point loss .we matched them in every aspect .A big learning curve for the young guys and hopefully a reset for Edwards in bringing the ball back safe.
