Rumours and Stuff

They wouldn't say it without evidence though, even if just 'I saw lingard do blah...' no different to 'When I see <player x> play he seems to...'

They might.

Throw 350k at cotric not feldt. At worse it drives his price up

 

[hindy111]

Our forward pack is holding its own. No changes needed. Keep rolling boys

 

[Poupou Escobar]

The Raiders have had over 60% possession. Every pack looks bad when they are doing all the tackling.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

We need another half.

 

[hindy111]

Never looked in game to me. Score flattered eels and when canberra turned it up they smacked us.

We need a hooker.

Raiders still had 55% possession. We lost the game in the first half. Sixteen points was too big a lead to recover, but in the second half we matched them.

That weight of possession was caused by our weak middle forwards pushing offloads beacuse they were getting dominated in the ruck

We were in the game. At one stage we got back to within 10 points.
But that's because Parra are the kings of false hope.

So take your medicine and get to your kick. It worked in the second half. It also worked against Manly and the Dragons. Sometimes you have to let them smash you.

We got to within four.

I agree. But our weak middle forwards don't. They know they are getting hammered so resort to the shit offloads out of panic. Less weak merkins in the middle would improve this.

Surely this is a tactical direction from the coaching staff?

 

[hybrideel]

I thought Dave went well when he came on. Some good damaging runs

 

[T.S Quint]

We got to within four.

Ah yes we did.
I'm already trying to wipe the memory of that game from my mind.

 

[T.S Quint]

Doubt it.
I think it's just dumb footballers thinking they can pull off a miracle play.

 

[Chipmunk]

Well we've got plenty of depth in the forwards if they cant do what their told you find ones that will.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Doubt it.

It was only a couple of weeks ago that one of our forwards said BA's game plans were to not offload in your own half.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Less weak merkins in the middle would waste cap money where we can't afford it. Anyway, in the second half when we held the ball our middle forwards were good enough. They made as many metres as the Raiders. It was Papalii who carved us up in the second half. Moeroa and Edwards would have helped massively.
