vs Bulldogs Rd 18 2024

On reflection the most disappointing part of the game for me wasn’t the ref but CHT throwing that no look pass on Zero tackle while on a break with Montoya wide open and he had the time to look and throw a normal pass.

 

[Penrose Warrior]

Don’t attack the messenger here lads, but this is what I suspect Analsleeve will come out with tomorrow morning

Bunker can only intervene if it is an incident that could be put on report, and the collision was a head clash, so they don’t have any grounds to intervene. I see the weak gutted dogs jaw is broken in 2 places

Ok and I'm not shooting the messenger, because you're only saying how Annersley will view it.

But how would a late shot that makes contact with the head, even if it is head on head, not be reportable?

I reckon if TMM goes down with blood in his mouth and a broken jaw, it's a penalty.

Yeah, that was mud. He realised it straight away, to be fair.

I really think our lack of pace is a major issue. I think I read the stat that we have the highest % of tries through the middle, which maybe speaks to the fact we have some big boppers in the middle and we play direct, but also that DWZ hasn't hit the heights of last year and we really have no pace to put guys into gaps or for them to run around their opposites.

Montoya is slow. RTS has lost his pace. Pompey is glacial slow. CNK is explosive but his top end speed isn't high. CHT has some pace but TMM is quick in his mind but not his feet. Berry isn't particularly quick. Then I see these guys from the top sides, and they have at least one or two guys with lightning pace. That chase back on the Burton intercept laid it bare for me, only CHT could get near him or Xerri (who I know is quick and works with Roger Fabri). It's a big concern, for mine, and one we need to address. Hopefully that exists in the lower levels.

Did Martin go down at all? If not he should've learnt something from Lodge a couple of years ago. 'Time almost up, in front of the sticks, scores level, look hurt'.

 

[hitro]

Well it was a pretty exciting game against a form side, apart from the feeling of inevitable golden point and Matt Burton the difference. I hope they have been and going to be doing heaps of drop goal practice and what about this for an idea, Wade dummies to Chanel and then passes the other way to Capewell.
Also Pompey cannot convert from the right sideline but Chanel can on account of being right and left footers respectively.
Err, so win every game from now is it?

 

[Big Marn]

i was thinking if montoya had had his wits about him, he should have barreled into somebody with his head and gone off for an HIA. Then we could have had Taine on as the 18th man. J/ks. kinda...

 

[Beavers Headgear]

Annesley can’t say a thing now, Weak Gutted Dog is being suspended for that shot

Yeah I was thinking it might have actually been worth someone faking an HIA, and Monty needed to go off anyway as he was already injured. But it’s probably a bit of a rabbithole you don’t need to go down…

so bad

 

[Big Marn]

i think Leka did more on attack at the centre position in that game than Pompey has done in 5 years.

Some news coverage but nothing will happen, bunker will keep sticking it to us.
Can't get the 2 points back we got deprived of.

Makes it even more of a joke that he got away absolutely scot-free on the park.

I don't often yap on about refs, but ffs that was the biggest robbery since Kalyn stole the Dally M.

He’ll get away scott free anyway, he’s out injured for six weeks so the suspension is meaningless.

 

[sup42]

How unlucky was Halasima. One of the best Wahs debuts ever.

He won't mind though hey, he would be one of if not the only player who came away not feeling disappointed.
We have another player that will make just as much impact in Lennox Tuiloma. When Leka is hitting his stride at twenty years of age we will be unleashing and eighteen year old Lennox on the NRL.

Things are looking very bright for the club, a number of our sixteen year olds are genuine future stars.

Do you guys recon Webster should pull the trigger and go all in on his young guns now so that our depth for next year is fully covered?

Is it time to go all in and take risks and change this miserableness season into a rebuild story?

One advantage of doing that is the bandwagon fans of this era are actually really well informed on the team and they would get behind it and we would probably not lose any if they had a reason to buy into a changed narrative "Baby Warriors take on the NRL"

I get refs make mistakes and miss things on the field, can have view blocked, not looking in the direct, but the bunker has apparently every camera angle and plenty of time to review everything going on and said nothing about a reportable offence.

TMM legs have been taken before and nothing done by bunker.
They really do want guys lying down to get penalties, it seems to be the only way!

He just won't talk about it, sweep it under the carpet. No bias to be seen here!

No and he didn't last time bunker ignored his legs been take after the kick.
Time to take a dive like everyone else to earn a penalty

The 'nice guys of the NRL' no more.

 

[SpaceMonkey]

I thought both Martin and Salmond went down and play was halted while Salmond got pulled for an HIA. Absolutely no excuse for the bunker to miss it. They had a pause in play to review. I think they made an initial decision then didn’t want to reverse it.

I don’t think the season is over yet, but Webster needs to give some of the youngsters more game time. Halasima was brilliant and should get more game time. Apart from him I haven’t seen anyone else who really stands out. Ale, Sif**kula and Laban look like good depth cover at this stage but not an upgrade on those we already have.
