vs Cowboys

[Philip_Smith007]

So a 11pm start (NZ time).
The longest trip in the NRL. (outside of Perth)
Temp around 26deg. (no excuse)
Should of arrived in Townsville on Wednesday or Thursday to adjust or did we train at 11pm?

It's not looking good.

 

[Rebel]

Well the weather doesnt seem to be affecting the juniors so far.

up 22-6 but early days.

 

[WithTheDawn]

Well we normally do better when we aren't given a chance anyway...just hoping they play better and show more of their potential at least. Will be a top game if we show up, but my confidence of that isn't particularly high.

 

[Diesel]

Possible wet track in Townsville, there's rain around

 

[Rebel]

Not expecting to much, rain or no rain.

At least the juniors have got a win for us. 38-12 atm.

 

[Rebel]

Sensational win for the juniors. What a turn around.

 

[Blair]

4-0, try to Fish.

But will we run out of puff as the game goes on?

 

[playdaball]

Lousi was out of puff after 6 minutes - must be the least fittest player in the NRL

His mum's cooking wouldn't help.

Defensively Rapira not getting back up that quick either after 6 mins.

Fishi second try a try on basis of no conclusive evidence of hands touching it, even tho the Aussie commentators wanted it as a no try!
Please don't get my hopes up to be crushed!

 

[Blair]

Are we stuck with Johnson as goal kicker? That's four extra points gone, admittedly they were tough kicks.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Winterstein bombed try a result of Mateo and I think Rapira not getting back into defensive line after a tackle!

 

[Blair]

That might be my cue to go to bed, and I'm in NSW!

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Shit did Johnson just tackle A Sims?

 

[Diesel]

Why is Tomkins in the lock position in the scrum? I've noticed a bit of this

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Don't want to call the Refs bias, but how was that a penalty when Johnson was held down by Thursdan much longer, missed an obvious elbow drop on Matulino and unnecessary contact with head on Matangi, not letting the quick tap after giving a mark, allowing Sims to talk after Johnson goaline penalty,when only captain spoken to now missing a quick tap opportunity.

What have I missed go the other way?

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Why is Tomkins in the lock position in the scrum? I've noticed a bit of this

To get him out of the bloody way!
He has got in players way with the ball tonight a couple of times and not sure what he is doing standing behind dummy half when he is not going with them.

A other observation is that no one going with Mateo, once I have seen Tomkin's 10m wide of him and even the "forward pass" Townsend was cutting back in on a hell of an angle to get it.

Bukuya seems to have taken Lowies spot for "always good for a penalty!"

 

[Fast Eddie]

That might be my cue to go to bed, and I'm in NSW!

Hell of a fan!


Wouldn't mind some ball in their 20 so we can actually fire some shots. We get stuck in 4-5 one out hit ups sets too much. Just like the first half last week.

 

[TheDMC]

Refs are biased. Seriously.

Nothing to do with the refs, but the torso grounding (or try) continues to amuse and annoy me.

Boys are playing well - giving 100% on D, although edges opening up a bit as per. Forwards working hard. All in all, a spirited performance.

Custard powder. Corners.
