Where to from here?

T.Sheens post-match...




WTF? Head was lukewarm?... And what "Halves"(as in- plural)? This does not bode well. Hope this does not mean what it sounds like it might mean.



The same fave perennials, certainly.

What a joke.

Mat Head deserves a little more praise than that. Give him some credit and stop shifting the blame from your ridiculous selection and bench use.

Exactly!!! im glad that sheensy gave me the heads up for the next month ahead wont need to watch now the result is a given

 

[Tiger Hawk]

To be fair, he's always reserved in his praise/judgement of players, that's just his style. He's never gone over the top with Benji or Robbie either, even when they've played twice as good as Head did today.

MOTH, tell us what our best 17 is in your opinion and whether or not our best 17 is good enough to win the comp, (if the whole 17 are utilised each and every week) ???
And what is our best side without Farah, Marshall, Harrison and O`Hara as we know they aren`t going to be fit by next week ?
The reason I ask is because we all hear plenty of bagging, which in most cases is fully deserved, but I haven`t hear you provide any solutions ???

No Halatau in the top 17 yet he gets a run twice for next week?

IMO the ref did the raiders no favours.....

 

[themanonthehill]

He didn't need to
Tim sheens did more than enough to get them over the line

 

[Tiger Hawk]

yawn, going to need better bait than that.

 

[Vicious]

My top 17 at both full strength and as of next week would be similar to what both MOTH and TigerHawk have provided, but I don`t think a back row of Fulton, Heighington and Payne would offer enough attacking options. The good sides have dangerous attacking back rows, I know Te`o has been quiet and a little below par, but we need to persist with him and hopefully get the best out of him as he is a potential match winner. I`d be tempted to also include Rocky Trimarchi unless we can give others such as Danny Galea a fair go and get the best out of him as we need more players willing to hit holes and inturn help make something happen when we`re attacking the opponents line.

No bait mate, that is the 'kindest' an away team has been treated at Bruce for a long time.

Plenty of Wests supporters at the ground, good to see.

 

[rupertpupkin]

What was the completion rate? 1st & 2nd halves?

 

[Navjot]

Those poor bastards having to endure that, i tip my lid to them the fanatic ones who travel, i just watched on tv enough for me, piss poor second half, well done raiders, we could only manage 16 players to play yas sorry bout that .

[madunit]

Thats a good side when our players are in good form.

When in their current form, that side is a defensive nightmare

 

[brooksy19]

To be honest I thought Morris went well at hooker. :sarcasm:

With Rob out, I reckon he's our best option.

Any chance of Benji/Head this weekend ?

I think Tim might pull the trigger.
