Team v Newcastle ?

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

If we can stay within 12 at HT we've got a shot in this match.

Good call, Barry.

 

[Suitman]

Good call, Barry.

I think it's a good call to tell Barry he made a good call.

Suity

Ha. Always funny reading this thread after the result. Playing in Newie, into a howling gale and after 20 minutes most of you thought we should have been 20 in front or something.

Am I too late to join in?

f**king gutless pricks. We'll probably get done by 50. Sack Arthurs's's's's.

I've got no defence.......it was a stressful match and I say what I'm thinking at that second. Probably best to hold off from now on.......probably won't though.

There was nothing wrong with the effort, just some poor execution in attack and decision making in defence.

agreed.

my gutless comment was more a reaction to takarangi's effort in the first try. yeah fine you were beaten but don't give up. Everyone can see old man Houston running up inside of Uate but Taka doesn't bother making an effort to get inbetween uate and Houston. Its poor form. Sandow does the exact same thing with Mcmanus' try in the second half.

In both of these situations these players had opportunities to position themselves to help other defending players but didn't. I reckon Arthur will highlight both of these efforts and make backing up in defence a talking point for the week.

Sounds like you have an ordinary opinion

In my opinion i don't agree with this.

Actually, Taka was screaming and pointing to Folau to take Uate and Taka was looking over his shoulder at Houston, indicating he'd take Houston - then the next minute, he totally ignores Houston and chases Uate.

Had he stayed on Houston, they might not have scored.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

27 - 12 indeed. Damn you, Lingard, I coulda bought a coffee and maybe even a cookie with the money I wasted thanks to you.

Im very pleased with the win however those first 10 minutes were far from acceptable. I put it to you that the teams effort was poor throughout this period specifically once the break or overlap was created by the Knights, how many Parra defenders turned and chased? They made no effort to follow the play whatsoever. If someone had then maybe the Knights pensioner edge forward may not have scored untouched.

I thought mine was encouraging to the team.... "Stay strong, stay united and stay blue and gold."

Just don't read the other crap that I wrote under pressure.

So that's pretty much everything you've been posting since I joined this prestigious forum. :lol:

Suity

:lol:

How the Wanderers going Suity, I've lost track since round 4 or 5?

 

[Casper The Ghost]

I've not had a dream about the Eels beating the Knights today but I'm daydreaming big-time about them winning 32 to 24 today.

Was close. If Sandow converted the last try I would have at least gotten the margin right.

 

[Casper The Ghost]

Lucky I held back then :lol:

Shame you don't do it with women (or men - not sure which way you swing - maybe both ways).

If Sandow converted the last try we would be an extra place up the ladder too.

They showed again there is limited mental ability when after the first half we kicked off into the wind and got the ball back but didn't come up with a better plan to stop Newcastle doing it and they did it more than once.

Agreed, the difference between getting into the top 8 or missing out on being in the finals.

Luke Burt missing the kick @ Parra Stadium vs Tigers 2010 was another example of getting into Golden point and another shot at getting into the finals. I was @ that game - gut wrenching but not as bad as the capitulation against the dogs in the major semi back in 1998 - that was my worst experience at a footy game so far.

It is pretty tough to stop the opposition getting the ball from a short kick off. Firstly because they are running forwards and secondly the team kicking off will have more players around the ball to collect the spoils than the receiving side.

Having said that - it has always made me wonder why every kick off is not short. Great attacking opportunity if you retrieve the short kick. And if you don't, it is not ideal but sides are charging 20-30 metres from kick offs anyway so not that worse off really.

When Houston received the ball I immediately thought "Oh no, Houston, we have a problem"...
