Round 8 vs Souths

[age.s]

Just on Tago though, he needs to be better. Strong with the ball and his defence is ok but he's pretty careless. Too many errors and whether his try should have stood or not, he had time to pick it up properly and remove any doubt. Frustrating player.

 

[Girds89]

Thats right, but you cant apply downward pressure to assist picking it up.

I don't think he did. I believe he grabbed it and picked it up into his arms.

My main gripe was the Cody knock on. Deadset been a knock on since the start of time

 

[Iamback]

Yep. They were out on their feet for basically the whole game but we don't have the class against the top teams to ice games atm

Easy to look good against the knights and manly. South's are a premiership worthy team and our attack looked pretty avg

Hence why I don't have us in the top 4.

We made 3 line breaks.

1 Edwards created. 1 Luai created and Crichton picking up a kick. Not good enough against top teams

 

[betcats]

Did Huth play again in the match after being hooked for being so shit? I don't recall seeing him again.

If Huth is our next starting prop up we are kidding ourselves. Back Lindsay if they want to keep Lenius impact off the bench

We already beat Souths this season, what are you talking about?

 

[Chins get the wins]

It's very hard to beat the ref

 

[pantherz9103]

Tough to take because our club hasn't given up a late lead like that for a long time. Some luck went against us tonight with a few calls but ultimately, we are lacking the ability to score enough points against good sides and ram home our advantage like the last 3 years when we get a glut of good ball and field position. Can't expect to be top of the ladder when most weeks you can't reach 20 points.

They scored their 1st try after he had a loss on the 3rd tackle. Another a simple miss on the halfway line on top of being a hog

Yeah unless there's so changes I think we are going to struggle.

Throw in kiks or api and we win that Tonight by a few tries easy.

We just are lacking punch on the edge and craftiness at the ruck.

That is what I said the other week.

I was cheering hard when he went over, but the first replay I thought it was no try. We scored pretty much next set, so really had no effect on the game.

The Cody one was a toss of the coin imo. I'd like to think we would have got BOD if the positions were reversed.

Even tonight Luai lifted, Cleary and Tago dropped.

We need to have everyone playing at 110% to be any chance

 

[Girds89]

Talking about our attack.

We lack a bit of class.

Make of it what you will but we don't have the x factor of previous years so Ivan is going to need to pull more tricks out of the bag.

We've already seen them get an offload license which they haven't had in previous years cause it wasn't needed.

@Iamback errors happen. A half being completely lost on the 5th or being unable to fall on a ball is so much worse.

Not sure how it was a toss of the coin.

He was standing in front of it and tried to drag it I'm towards himself which he did except latrell caught it.

It's about as easy knock on call to make as you'll get.

Standing in front and drag it towards yourself the only way the ball can go is forward

Because he shouldn't be getting it on the last, We have a $1.2m half for those situations.

My point is any good work he is doing is cancelled out by errors/A centre refusing to pass

 

[Flashstep]

Threw that one away which is very disappointing, South’s had nothing at all in the last 10 but we just didn’t show the urgency we once had and it cost us. South’s got very fortunate but at the end of the day it’s up to the team to defend a 10 point lead with 10 minutes to go.

At least we played better, still have some work to do in attack but I think we’ll get there.

 

[Panfa]

T'oo needs to go back to the left edge how many times did we create an overlap for turuva and he goes back inside instead of heading for the corner.T'oo would have scored 1 of those chances for sure.Luai is not doing his contract money any good at the moment hes been shithouse this yr.

I'll have to watch it again. I suppose no matter what it would have been closer to a knock on than Dyl's one at the beginning of the game. That was a shocking call.

 

[Girds89]

Haha. All the luai haters.

That's what no kikau will do to a whole edge.

When you lose the best 2nd rower in the comp your whole team will struggle.

I'd go as far to say even I'd we'd kept him and lost api we'd have won all our tight games this year comfortably.

We are still learning how to play with kiks and api. If we can stay fit this year hopefully we can be around the 4th to 6th mark but the back end of the season and start to get into a grove after origin.
