Re: RD 3 vs Knights

. The only issue with Trent is his discipline To be fair, he commonly has his arm trapped between body and ball. If he pulls his arm out ball comes with it and he gets pinged. Leave his arm there and you see him looking pleadingly at the ref. It's obviously part of his technique that the coaching s...

Re: RD 3 vs Knights

Kane Bradley is obviously not a centre but geez that attempted tackle was, ordinary, The second Knights try, I think someone else said it, Katoa needed to make more of an effort to get up and defend, but, this seems to be an accepted Bellamy trait, King and Trent also commonly get left behind the pl...

Re: RD 3 vs Knights

Expecting a real ambush from the Knights in this one… They are 0 and 2 Playing at home After dropping their half back and getting unwanted media attention They will be up for a forward dogfight I reckon. With legit question marks still hanging over our pack, missing NAS, Welch and Chan (not to ment...

Re: RD 3 vs Knights

Yep, or at the worst case, repeat the Canberra game from a few years back and play Lewis as a running 5/8 That would've been effective against the monsters in green, the Knights? (It might help alleviate our lack of size though) I'm not in love with the idea of Wishart at 7 and anyone who know's me...

Re: Round 2 - Storm vs Warriors @ AAMI Park

All due respect to Coates, his match winner was as spectacular a clutch play as you'll ever see, he wasn't the second best player over 80 minutes. I agree, leave the spectacular try out of and it and he had a really good game. The one dropped bomb when they threw an absolute Blitzkrieg at him was p...

Re: Round 2 - Storm vs Warriors @ AAMI Park

The entire point of modern backline plays is to trap our FB close to the ruck on one side of the field, then inject your own fullback on the opposite side to create the overlap. Bellamy, from day dot has had the defensive philosophy to keep the middle tight and if the opposing backline play is good...

Re: Round 2 - Storm vs Warriors @ AAMI Park

Reimis Smith gets it wrong every single time. Such a poor defender. I have an observation to make about posting during the game. Some of us read the comments post match and I'm sure, like me, some will wonder what the comment was in reference to, usually, but not always I can work them out. Maybe t...

I didn't realise this happened at the time, too busy looking at the huge overlap

Re: Round 2 - Storm vs Warriors @ AAMI Park

Worrying how much stronger and faster the Warriors looked for a fair chunk of that game. We couldn’t go with them at all as they were churning out 60m sets over and over. I think our effort was there we just lack “something” as a squad. Don’t want to fret too much about it as it’s only week two but...

Re: Round 2 - Storm vs Warriors @ AAMI Park

Warriors 66% completion rate in the first half flattered us We were shot whereas the Warriors were shot out of cannons in the second half. Needing three in every tackle when the big boppers are hurtling in to our line inevitably opens up the line with some passes. All our backs put their hands up in...

Re: Round 1 vs Panthers @ AAMI Park

I think something which has also been understated in this performance was the post contact metres. Didn’t do too well in that category last year but to have 646 metres (which was the most over the weekend) and considering the strength of opposition with all that defence which had to be done - that’...

Re: Round 1 vs Panthers @ AAMI Park

King didn't play like the number on his back, in fact, I don't think his role changed at all

Great win, GREAT
