Vs Eels Rd6

[Philip_Smith007]

Kata didn't get up from a tackle.
Eels throw ball out.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

8 mins to go, 100% field-goal time, guys. 22-10.

Foran to ice it!

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Arg, Mannering throws it forward.
After SJ loses it behind him.
Looked scrappy.
6mins to go.

 

[Scorpio30]

Johnson took his eyes off the ball drops it behind himself but then it all falls apart

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Eels drop the ball, under Ashyford tackle.
Fus knocks on in play ball.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

No one competing for Forans bomb into corner.
4mins to go

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Guthberson in front of kicker and desides to pick it up.
Plenty.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Nice kick by Ashyford to put pressure on Radrara.
Repeat set.
2mins

 

[Blair]

Another try would flatter us, I reckon.

But I'll take it!

 

[Philip_Smith007]

30sec left.
We got this! Haha

 

[Blair]

22-10. Final.

Bit concerned we spent the last ten minutes without attempting a field-goal. It's that ruthless, Cooper Cronk-streak, that we're missing. It's all fun and games until big Semi scores twice to lock it up at 22-all on the hooter.

 

[Cold Roses]

Great work guys. Thanks for the updates.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Keeping in touch with the 8.
Sitting 10th on live ladder -20 points difference.
5th through to 11th on 6 points.
Raiders next Sat away sets us up to jump them.
Big forwards will be hard to handle.

ce to lock it up at 22-all on the hooter.

I though they might attempt, but last few sets ended scrappy. Foran should of been calling for it.
Wanted some icing on cake with a try for our points differential.

 

[Blair]

90%+ completion rate.
60% possession

We'll win more games than we lose with those stats.

The thing is... we never looked under pressure and losing.

Switching between this thread and the NRL app for play by play updates.

You guys are quicker than the app though.

They probably have to get their spelling and grammar right!

Luke too urgent and drops the ball at dummy half

Three of us posters mentioned this at the same time, showed how crucial the error was in the context of the game. Luke's got this in his game, unfortunately. He's tough to criticize when he's playing well though, but this stuff could bite us hard.

I'm nitpicking though, feel like an armchair dummy-half.

This. Happy with them not going for the FG in the last few minutes, we weren't gonna lose. 10-15 from full time though would've been a good option.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Press conference.
Kearney though game was ok.
Did well in first half, 1 error.
Moment swung to Eels in second half, but wreslted back.
Pleased for them.
Not looking at momentum, looking at improvements.
Raiders a big NRL test.
Defense set up the win.

Could find a lot of things to be frustrated about to do with game, not just how we backed off when on top.

Wouldn't say he was proud of goal line D, as let try in first 10mins.

Outside backs set a standard this year for getting start of set. (?????)

Don't need to be a rocket scientist to win footy games you need to defend.

Reflection on first six games we have plenty of improvement in us.
Next 6 games as tough as any other games.

Foran been grabbing hamstring for last 3 weeks! (Joking when asked if his hammy ok)

Won't tell Michael if any injuries as had said just bumps and bruises.

No special feeling beating the eels, 2 points is 2 points.

RTS: said to boys on field "trust the process" when under the pump.
Attack and defend working hand in hand.
Kick chase to their end and work them down their end.
(Jesus he is hard to follow what he is actually saying)
