Round 24 v Roosters

[The Realist]

There does not seem to be any plan in attack or defense.

Exactly right, we look like a team of amateurs out there and that to me means that the coaching is just not there.

Kikau should be released now, no point in making him waste his career surrounded by a bunch of losers as he will if he sees out his contract.

Why don’t you just go and support somebody else!
What a ridiculous comment to make!

Everyone on Reddit commented Egan made us look better lol. If he had support on his run we score.

Egan had one really sharp run and went ok overall, but the best we looked was the first 15 minutes of the match before Katoa ran out of gas.

It’s true, the dude will be another Hayne if he stays, just a waste of talent. If you truly love someone, set them free. Let him go win a premiership with Easts or the Storm, he deserves it.

Tamou played his heart out., as most of the side did. We were up against a Ferrari compared to our Holden.

Yeah he played his heart out, padded his metres and tackle stats but all of that is MORE than undone when he goes missing in defence. He conceded 2 to 3 linebreaks, he is always good for at least one a game. Not good enough from an $800K player.

You should be hung & quartered.

You’re being selfish, let him go and flourish.

 

[Abacus]

Not surprised we lost tonight. The players obviously enjoyed last preseason so much that they don't want finals delaying their next preseason.

 

[Abacus]

Is tamou signed for next year?

Yes.

 

[TheFrog]

I’m not making excuses just venting!
I’m frustrated with decisions such as the Cleary no try, the To’o play the ball etc. Most of the time it has no effect on the result, but like tonight, 12-12 at ht and it could be a different game.
The Roosters deserved to win, but they still seem to get a lot of things go their way!

They were never giving that try. You cannot just stop in the defensive line. Maybe a rule that you have to actually attempt the tackle would be called for.

Most of the year Tamou has been good but he looks to have tapered off towards the end. Tonight wasn't 1 of his better games.

 

[Abacus]

It's not the first time RCG stopping in the defensive line has resulted in a no try - which is the more frustrating aspect. The dumb f**k needs to take 3 more steps and its not an issue. It's either attitude or fitness.

 

[Abacus]

I thought Edwards, Leota, Kikau & JFH were good. A few others tried hard - To'o, Burns good on debut but probably left out there too long, Katoa & Egan.

The rest need to have a good hard look at what they dished up tonight.

 

[OldPanther]

Egan had one really sharp run and went ok overall, but the best we looked was the first 15 minutes of the match before Katoa ran out of gas.

I think that's more to do with having RCG on than anything. Poor guy seems gone. Not sure what he needs to get better again but he kills our middle.

See y’all in 2023

Do you really think Dave will sack his mate with a year to go?

Far out, is it another 4 seasons from now? I must’ve underestimated. Actually, assuming Ivan and Nathan are here til the end of 2023, and then allowing for an inevitable rebuild after his tenure is done, I guess I’ll see you all in 2026?

 

[Marky Mark]

Finally watched a full game. We have no personality in attack. Don't attempt offloads, don't attempt quick runs up the middle, don't have any backline plays. Cleary Jr. is anonymous. Cleary Sr. has no clue in attack. Our defense on the line is good though.

Sorry to say but Daddy & son are simply over rated with no ideas.

 

[Das Hassler]

Ive long had a positive view of Nathan but i'm starting to fade. if he was on the open market right now there might not be the scale of bidding war that might be expected for his services as a half . ...good defensive goalkicking wingers though...can't get enough of those !
***Burton***....did i spell that right?

The hypocrisy of the situation is that we have Dave and his mate claiming that players are overpaid and their contracts are for too long, yet the two worst performing people paid the most on the longest contracts are the Clearys.

 

[The Realist]

Yep pretty much. Someone needs to hit reset on the entire club, from the Chairman, CEO and coach, down to just about every player.

If I had a magic wand that could wipe the roster clean and start again the ONLY players I would 99% keep are JFH, Kikau and To'o.
