Vs Storm ANZAC day Rd 7

[vvvrulz]

I'm disappointed that SJ came back as the same SJ from before -> he 100% will just stop caring mid-game

 

[Beavers Headgear]

That’s the most points I can remember seeing in a half of footy since I’ve been watching

Newcastle leading the Cowboys 48-0 at HT and Manly 48-0 v Titans 2nd half last year are the ones I’ve watched, got a gut feel the Broncos in the mid 90s might have gone 50+ v Parra

 

[vvvrulz]

Lads, it was an honour to tough this one out here while we made history (no joke).

Kudos for continuing to hang in there after years of this farce.

Paps wants to say it seems like they didn't try post match interview.

 

[TheDMC]

By my count SJ has throw 3 intercepts and 1 over the sideline pass out of 6 passes this season doing that left to right skip pass to the wing. Only cost 2 tries as one intercept was dropped cold. Basically he is a f**ken dunce.

 

[Beavers Headgear]

Nearly cracked this list, lucky they missed a few goals

Most points scored in a match	91 points	St George	May 11th, 1935 - St George vs. Canterbury
87 points	Eastern Suburbs	May 18th, 1935 - Sydney vs. Canterbury
74 points	Parramatta	Aug 23rd, 2003 - Parramatta vs. Cronulla
74 points	Canberra	Aug 10th, 2008 - Canberra vs. Penrith
72 points	Penrith	Aug 7th, 2004 - Pen

The press conference will be interesting.
Players clearly not wanting to show up, would be hard to coach that!

 

[Matua]

Ouch.

 

[SpaceMonkey]

Well at least I don’t feel like a dickhead for giving Melbourne a 7 in confidence tipping.
the scariest thing about that though is that we’re not even a particularly terrible side compared to most of the others this year- it’s really looking like a two horse race between Melbourne and Penrith, with maybe Parra or the Sharks being able to spring an upset if everything goes their way. The bottom 2/3 of the table are a rabble.

They showed up in the first half. What happened after half time? They looked really rattled when DWZ got stretchered off, but the game was already gone then.

I’ve been trying to cut back on crying in the shower but here we go again.

Losing Curran was a blow too, and with SJ phoning it in +Walsh rapidly losing interest it was childs play for Melbourne to take advantage of our edges consisting of the defensive might of Kosi, Sironen, Arthurs and Pompey

That has to be the worst wing/centre combos we've ever fielded in the history of our club.

Good point re Curran, the one guy you can count on not to either give up or have brain explosions while trying

Presso is interesting.

Nathan Brown calling out fatigue, but also not making excuses and more or less saying players checked out and took the easy option.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Brown.
Good in first 15 mins (or was that 50mins). Gave them tries.
Players gave up.
Asked how to fix, has some ideas but not public.
Poor choices by players.
Curran MCL injury.
Short turn around.
Middles did a good job.
Mistakes out wide gave Storm points.

AFB: effort not there, tackling poor, looking out and not whose in front. We get to play again next week and a right of reply.

Brown remember week after back in 2000 when his team had 70 against them, he remembered clearly, he kicked ball out on full when leading tigers and lost.

Won't commit to dropping players, strong messages to players, not necessarily chewed out in front of others.

Good on you for still having the TV on. I switched off when they hit 60 and am taking my frustrations out on my home gym.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Copper is smart.
Needed Lodge to step up earlier, than 71st min, only players over 100m.
SJ should of kicked a ball out to take some heat out of the game.

 

[vvvrulz]

Cooper Cronk calling out Lodge showing sudden effort when they're 60 points down instead of earlier when the Warriors needed a spark.

Also called out SJ for his lack of game management, no drills into touch for e.g. to slow the game down and reset the line.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Make a play for Munsta and move SJ on, let Walsh go to Dolphins.

 

[nswarrior]

let’s forget the 2nd half

beat the Raiders and we are all good
