Vs Eels Rd22

[Penrose Warrior]

I really dislike DWZ as a footballer, don’t care about the haircut and dives into the corner, outside of that he doesn’t offer much

Of the 2435 poor takes I've offered over the years, I will pump my own tyres that I said this about Dallin very early in the season and was widely shouted down.

But I always thought once the tries dried up, there wasn't a lot left. He carries the ball strongly, to be fair, but his defense has always been diabolical. That 'effort' for the first try was woeful, I've seen that so much. And he'll rush in like there's a fire to attend to, as well. Nice player to have in a semi-dominant/well-performed team in a good attacking structure, a liability if not.

The worst part about the last ten minutes is we finally started using creativity in our attacking sets.

That was 3 (should have been 4) tries in 10 minutes as soon as SJ started doing something original.
He missed two clangers with the boot too - fast asleep for most of the game and we still could have won it.

The worst thing about it is that it distracts from how woeful we were. I knew it would happen - I went to bed at 70 minutes, and I knew we'd score a couple of times. 30-20 looks bad but not woeful, 30-4 was pathetic at home, big crowd, an Eels side with no confidence and won twice since round 3.

Will have to do this sometime today, when my shitty Warriors mood wears off!

Watch the game live and knowing how ordinary they were going think of you watching it on delay ! At least you had the fast forward option

3x speed was used extensively!

Time to face facts. We just are not very good.

Agreed. All season bar a couple rounds we've been shit.

Our young centres shown up badly tonight!

I think that is the key. Ordinarily we only run one greenhorn in these critical defender spots, and now we see why Webster only gives them sporadic games.

The Eels game plan was to put two on ones vs the Centers and our lads did not have a clue how to defend it, because they have never seen it before.

I will reserve more comment for the Webster thread because these post game threads are transient.

Ali dropped a tackle on the try line, that is on him a one on one fail, but the Eels you have to give credit to for isolating MGT and Ali with beautiful set plays.

The Eels won that game on their tip sheet before a ball was kicked in anger.
