What i liked about tonight

[born an eel]

i thought our dummy half service was still a bit slow and not crisp enough,
like the pass that was thrown to McGuire at his feet 5 out, also the service to sandow wasnt fast enough ,by the time he got the ball (kicks especially ) they were on him, + they were moving up fast .

we need to change our jumpers and have a target placed on Sandows chest, might improve the service from dummy half

Keating isn't an 80 minute player, maybe 50 - 60 minutes. casey should've replaced him in the last 25. If Keating is going to continue to be in the side SK needs to realise that Matt isn't an 80 minute player. he defends well and tries hard but his service is slow

Yeah but he tries hard.
That is that statement that summed up this club under Hagan and Ando.

Yep and that's why I don't think he should be there but we don't have any real replacements. Smith isn't ready for first grade is he?

keating needs to watch the 2nd installment of thirty with burty ......

 

[Eels Dude]

Yeah but he tries hard.

It's also a statement that sums up a lot of fans expectations.

Keating just isn't good enough to play 80 minutes, and Casey needs to be pastured

 

[spiderdan]

not good to lose but not a shit performance by any stretch.

the team looked structured but not boring. we had players in motion running good lines and angles even when they weren't getting the ball and we had multiple strike points with roberts, sandow and hayne (before he was carried off).

two dissapointing things for me where sandow's need to shoulder charge too much (led to last try) and the piss weak defence in our red zone which led to three tries the first three times warriors got there, but they are a damn good side.

all in all was a massive improvement from last year and even last week so good work to kearney and co.

We have Vescio coming through but he's a few years off yet. We def need a hooker quick smart.

Agreed. I thought we looked sharp last night and rather attacking, as opposed to our normal robotic style of play.
I really like the way Sandow and Roberts are combining.

Suity

 

[ParraSteve]

We showed a ton of improvement in attack this week, our defence let us down, if they meet on the same page we'll have a very good team on our hands

 

[Glenn]

Really impressed with the Snadow/Roberts combination, as for Sandow one of his big hits sets up a try another attempt lets in a try that's what you are going to get with Sandow, now if he could only pick and choose his targets better.

Really impressed with the Snadow/Roberts combination

Snadow, Hayen... sheesh I really need to keep a closer eye on our recruitment

 

[Y2Eel]

Roberts played really well not outstanding but was one of the better players int he first half..

Paulo is going well and good to see him keep his spot in the team this weekend..

 

[The Elephant In The room]

Snadow, Hayen... sheesh I really need to keep a closer eye on our recruitment

I can't remember seing these new guys before, but the picture quality on my new Sorny TV isn't quite as good as I'd hoped, so maybe thats why I missed them last night.

 

[natheel]

one thing i've noticed on field is the mateship that Sandow and Fui seem to have made. the way fui congratulated chris after his second try was good to see.

the inside balls from sandow to fui will be a great asset later on in the game on a tiring defence.

 

[hindy111]

I cant believe guys are baggin POH out.He made one tackle that saved a try in the middle he also ran strongly and thought overall had a very good game -Compared to his brut strength of last year he has developed well and i think by the end of the season or early next year he could be a regualr first grade player...
I do remember everyone bagging lassalo out last year.Penirth also didnt give pauolo a chance and i am telling you Joseph pauolo is a great player and him along with POH and lassalo could be our backrow.The type of backrow we need big strong and can offload

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I actually thought Pat O'Hanlon looked like he'll become a first grader last night. He's a lot quicker than I expected.

Still too skinny though, but every player fills out in time.

I don't think anyone is bagging him out per se, more suggesting he shouldn't be used in first grade until he's physically ready to. Same goes with the others, but last night was promising in that regard. Lasalo had a good game, but I'll wait till he consistently performs like that until I praise him.

 

[natheel]

yeh POH seemed to have stepped up a bit. only problem is he goes to make a hit up with force but because of his skinny frame 9/10 he gets bent back. he's a good defender though. just needs to beef up.
