I’m sure the molong marvel would slot nicely in at fullback to cover duftys shit attitude. Did anyone else realise in the first half bulldogs spread it wide and dufty was standing at the play the ball with his f**king hands on his knees struggling to breathe??? He’s meant to sweeping up the back not at the ruck 30 metres away!!!
what do you think if we put bird tyrell and rava on our right next week to try and blunt the storms left side as i think with kerr there they will kill us with speed as paps love's that side as well.
The Molong marvel is yet to play the bulldogs though. He probably would have carved them up himself.
The Storm are a well drilled, very professional outfit and have plenty of depth with all their squad buying into the coach’s philosophy and style.
We must incorporate more second phase play by doing more off loads and definitely backing up the man with the ball in our attacking moves. The Storm though are good at nullifying a lot of this stuff unfortunately but we have still got to do it and we will have to nullify their second phase plays as well and be forever alert with their fullback wherever he is on the field - he has got to be marked extremely closely.
Fair call David, but i also think you’ve highlighted our paradox. Because we haven’t been playing second phase football or offloads and backing up, etc regularly over the past seven years we have not built the trust and execution in the combinations. As such, in developing this style there will be mistakes, they usually go hand in hand in developing a new skill, however, i’d rather they went for it and start building this style, particularly with the young group coming through.
The play of the week was me turning the tv off after the worse 1st half of football I have ever seen ......
A performance like we displayed against the Eels could do the trick. Let's hope the boys are up for such a performance.
It’s funny how all the six agains from the first half turned into penalties in the second.Agree about the refereeing , more so in the first half . The whistle blower must had been on some form of protest and decided the less his blew the pea the stronger was his cause .
The Bulldogs were offside all bluudy day and the way they lay all over the Dragon players was absolutely reminiscent of the Storm in action .
Oh well , I suppose it was good practice for what we can expect from them this weekend .
Gareth67 that is how Ben Cummings is with the Dragons for many years now . He always refs us totally different to any opposition. Everyone saw what he does even the media knows. Nothing gets done he is a protected species.Agree about the refereeing , more so in the first half .

Im happy for it to go back to how it was ..... This 6 again is ruining the game in my opinion ..... Half the time you don't know what the 6 again is for , Seems to be more injuries as the game gets faster , the DNA of players will change the players with a bit of Mungel will be phased out ..... Forwards will become faster leaner it will be like having backs as fowards ......It’s funny how all the six agains from the first half turned into penalties in the second.
I thought it was funny how we got pinned for escort penalty from random when that happens every tine every game
