Vs Rabbits Rd 24

[Philip_Smith007]

Maumalo , don't turn your jaw into them, it's a weak spot if hit, use your forehead!

 

[ZEROMISSTACKLES]

Why do I want Souths to get 40?

 

[ZEROMISSTACKLES]

Oh! RTS stopped a try! Guys RTS stopped a try! yey... useless team

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Gubb knocks on.
RTS finally tidied up, Goodwin should have known to take him on vs kicking thru

 

[WithTheDawn]

God so hopeless. Only positive is we looked a little less crappy for the first 50 minutes or so. But we always, reliably fall apart at the end. No imagination in attack and just horrible lapses in defence that we pay for every time. Getting tough to watch these games.

I'm gonna go out in a limb and predict this: "yeah its y'know, disappointing, I'm really pleased with how the lads held in there, we were in the game up until, y'know, we weren't. We just have to trust the process"

 

[Mr Angry]

Well I blame myself, I should be putting sheep farms on the warriors to lose during August..

Back to work Monday.

I can imagine a lot of us would love to ask the questions. Heaps of 'f' words lol.

Yup. Our forwards leading the way for another week. We got a seven tackle set and the first three hit ups were RTS, Maumalo and then Kata.

To be fair, this is probably the best option, for us anyway. Our forwards have been good for the last couple of months because of the momentum they are getting off Fus Maumalo and RTS taking early hit ups. Gavet, and to a lesser extent Lisone, are the only 2 forwards we have who can consistently get us on the front foot through post contact and quick play the balls. The others are making metres largely off the momentum we get from our backs. When you are working your way out of your own 20 as much as we do, I'd rather be getting somewhere with backs than nowhere with forwards.

Our forwards have been good?!. If accept this theory but we've done it all season and it just hasn't worked. At all. In any shape or form. And I'd be more.willing to go along with it if the forwards were otherwise actively engaged in like defending or making yards off second phase. But they're not supporting or tacklong or anything. The whole team is just dysfunctional.

The word "team" does not describe the group of individuals out there on the field.
Massive issue of guys not working together, making individual decisions, not trusting each other, not working for each other, the list goes on.

Press conference recap. Kearney and Hoffman in attendance.
SK: we've got some players playing tonight who arent yet ready for NRL firstgrade. We need to recruit players who are ready to get the job done and put a program in place to ensure those players who aren't ready get up to speed. Foran has a back injury and Lillyman has a torn bicep.

Good in terms of getting some yardage. Yes. They have competed in most games recently. Like I said though, it's largely off the back of the momentum that the back three are creating. Metres made are only one side of the coin when it comes to the tough stuff though. Any attack is going to stutter when it doesn't have the benefit of playing against defensive lines retreating because of quick play the balls and guys making post contact metres. Earlier in the season Gavet was getting a lot of this momentum going himself, aided by Lisone to a lesser degree. Now we only have the back three doing it.

The tackling is another issue entirely. It's pretty obvious that some guys there just aren't up to it, and it's creating uncertainty and a lack of trust.

We actually agree with each other here by the way, what I was actually implying was that most of our forwards aren't effective enough to be making us good metres out of our own 20, and that I'd rather the backs are doing it.

Dysfunctional? Yes.

Second game I haven't even bothered watching. I don't think I've ever cared less.

Who are the players then?

Kata. Don't even know where to start.

Afoa. Needs next year in reserves learning how to defend.

Lisone. Defensively a nightmare. Needs to just play the first 25 minutes of each game for his momentum then not get back on again.

Maumalo? He tries at least. More than can be said for others.

Tevaga. Reserve grader at best.

Bell. Reserve grader at best.

It's a cop out, Hoffmans defence is terrible.
Foran needs a walking frame after 50mins.
Kata has over 50games to his name, still no idea how to pass or what to do on defence.
Luke improved tonight but still well below his best.
