Round 8 Vs the DOGS

[kinghippo]

Putting Egan on and getting peachy into the centres just makes sense. Gets the backline to looking a bit like a backline again and helps with the forward rotation.
Griffin is stubborn with this type of thing though aka Cartwright.
Bit of a shoutout to DWZ, he is playing well

Peachey is ashit 6. But the merkin is having a hell of a go at sparking something.

He's helping lift our team. I was 100% wrong thinking he would phone this season in.

He’s such a talent imo, completely wasted by how we’ve shifted him constantly.

Ok we look shit. But we're trying extremely hard.

Cant really criticize anyone shifting midgame for making mistakes doing a foreign position.

Ie. Kikau sucks as a hooker and centre. But its not his fault... the guy is just too big for those positions.

Really we should be down by more. Everything that could go wrong did go wrong. We took a long time to recover from Edwards injury but seemed to adjust somewhat by halftime.

Hard to imagine winning from here. But we have given ourselves a chance

Hook doesn't know how to use him. Too late now

Griffin prefers less player shuffling, but two second rowers in the centres feels like a recipe for disaster.

 

[mxlegend99]

We’ve done brilliantly to limit the damage to a 4 point deficit tbh. We looked shot after that reshuffle.

Still would like to see a better reshuffle for the second half.

Yeah we took a long time to settle in. But we did settle.

1. Dwz
2. Whare
3. Peach
4. Chn
5. Crichton
6. Katoa
7. Maloney

Make it happen. Pack like normal.

We have second rowers in the centres and at 6.

Amazing how one injury can f**k all your plans. Thankfully we have a versatile roster. But shifting midgame isnt a seemless transition.

 

[betcats]

Kikau was always going to get exploited out there

 

[Thirsty Panther]

Cant believe we are only 4 points behind. Managed to stem their momentum.
Hope we get Egan on and see what he can do.

Hook doesn't know how to use him. Too late now

Brennan could f**k him around too. Look at Carty.

Lock. 6. Bench. 6. Looks like his career with us. Whatever happened to a player being replaced by the reserve grader in that position? Why shuffle a team around?

 

[betcats]

Leota is coming along nicely

 

[betcats]

Tamou you f**k

 

[herbert henry1908]

f**k

My boy.

The Dogs are a poor side. All we need to do is play hard and straight, and we walk this.

 

[mxlegend99]

Tamou error. Whare error. Simple shit putting us under pressure.

We cant score easy tries. We need to work hard for them. So we need to stop putting Bulldogs in position to score.

We are our worst enemy

 

[billypilgrimnz]

Chance of Egan not coming on at all?

 

[herbert henry1908]

Where is Egan?!

 

[betcats]

Chance of Egan not coming on at all?

Fair chance given how tight it is

 

[billypilgrimnz]

Hard and straight, pop an offload occasionally, pick up a penalty or two. We can do this.
