Round 5 2016 vs Storm Game discussion

[Zoidberg]

Not sure what to expect from this one. Doesn't help us that Melbourne lost last week and we have a 5 day turnaround heading from NZ to Melbourne.

Hopefully we show some character and keep it close.

Welp, I really can't see us getting close. I know we've fought famously against Melbourne the past few years but I hold fears on our backline.

 

[Chicken_Hunter]

Brown has at least made some good changes. What I like is when the general consensus here is that a player should be dropped/brought into the side, it will usually eventuate. Unlike the copy and paste jobs from recent years.

That's the weird one for me. I wonder what the thinking is behind that?

 

[Zoidberg]

Will be interesting to see how the defence on Aku's wing goes. Maybe have more of an idea if it is Gagai's fault. If so, I would like to see Gags given fullback full time.

Commentators on fox just pointed out we've only won 4 of our last 24 games, wow, that hurts.

Didn't realise it was that bad

 

[Frederick]

Pass was never on, saifiti had overrun it.

Got a reprieve there

 

[Chicken_Hunter]

Sione wont be back after that. So thats an interchange used and we are down to 16

 

[Chicken_Hunter]

Randell to centre, so levi will have to play 80.

 

[Burns]

Uate 4 PM

But really, great AFL style take!

 

[Tom155]

Great play by aku

 

[Bring it home Knights]

Akuila the thriller!

 

[Zoidberg]

Alright alright alright!
Try from a cross field kick, caught by Aku, pass to Jacob Safiti

 

[Chicken_Hunter]

So how long until we fall to pieces?

 

[Chicken_Hunter]

That penalty was bullshit, he was getting up to run ffs.

 

[Zoidberg]

Damnit. That penalty was horse shit.
