Vs Dolphins Rd23

[Philip_Smith007]

The SJ fairwell tour starts.
But he isn't in the team
Dolphins finish our mathematical chance today.
Catching a replay.

 

[vvvrulz]

I feel good about today, I get the feeling no SJ frees them up a bit to relax and just play footy.

 

[vvvrulz]

Egan throws a shocker to AFB on their line - a great chance gone begging early

 

[vvvrulz]

A near thing as we offload our way 2002 style - TMM falls just short, he looks amped up though.

 

[vvvrulz]

CNK gets a bad grubber bounce and makes a mess of it, Phins go in first

 

[vvvrulz]

A little unlucky now, a cross-field kick lands awkwardly and Farnworth runs 90m.

DWZ can only run with him about halfway - we just don't have any speed.

 

[sup42]

Gee you see Edd score these try's in the NSW cup and beg Jesus for the same in the NRL then.....

 

[vvvrulz]

TMM with a pinpoint bomb, and Kosi of all people competes and makes a clean catch to score!

12-6 and we needed that.

 

[sup42]

`Sideline tackle after points with the Dolphins on the charge, maybe we are in this.

 

[Blair]

Is the Dolphins defence 'outstanding' (as the commentator said) or is it really our laboured attack?

...now it's the Dolphins respecting our defence. They take the two, 14-6, Dolphins. 36th minute.

...Dolphins in after points. Kosi made a bad miss.

20-6. Halftime.

 

[vvvrulz]

Is the Dolphins defence 'outstanding' (as the commentator said) or is it really our laboured attack?

Neither really, Phins aren't defending particularly well and we're showing glimpses of decent attack but let ourselves down with bad hands.

They scored a couple of somewhat arsey tries, it's a close game.

 

[vvvrulz]

Wtf was that call - Stone falls into RTS at knee high, who brushes his shoulder and face at worst.

Gifts them 2 points.

 

[vvvrulz]

lol now they score off a forward pass - not Walsh '23 bad but pretty bad.

I don't like whinging about refs, but damn it's 20-6 when it should still be 12-6.

 

[Blair]

Walker in bin. High shot, with shoulder.

LOL, remember the Bulldog hit on Martin? That decided the game?

 

[sup42]

So we get a crusher nothing to see and Walker goes to the bin.

You have to give the Warriors a pass in this comp inherently it is not fair.

To be honest I no longer care about the game.

Thanks 'NRL.

CNK is a top player, deserves scrutiny for his neck injury.

 

[vvvrulz]

And here come the "even up" calls, this time they see a forward pass.

I will say this though, Webster isn't about moaning about refs and I like that, if we're good enough we'll come back.

 

[Blair]

Big Kurt in early. 20-12, oodles of time left. If we're good enough, we can win.

 

[JJ]

Martin creates things… Shame he’s for the chop

 

[Blair]

Walker's back on.

If anyone still cares we're on fire...but blowing certain points with knock-ons right in front of their sticks.

Now we have to defend a mistake down our end!

...we survive, witn an obstruction call against Redcliffe.

Now Barnett drops it and then they score pretty much straight away. 26-12, twenty-odd mins left.

Ali goes in, falling on a bouncing ball. We have a pulse! 26-16, plenty of time.

 

[Big Marn]

Egan needs to be dropped to reserve grade. shocking today and bog average for weeks. But who comes in? Lussick?
