Re: Magic Round vs Rabbitohs

Obviously if we can contain Souffs attacking threat (esp down their left) we need to be beefy in the middle and punch holes where Souffs are gettable…

It’s going to be a great battle

Re: RD 8 - ANZAC Round v Warriors (AAMI Park)

Yeah a win is a win NAS turned it with his momentum changing spell and some magic from Meaney, Munster and Grant was enough against the Warriors who lost a lot of troops in the 2nd half. I think we are a shade or two of mixing it with the best currently (Panthers, Rabbits, Sharks, maybe Broncos) som...

Re: RD 8 - ANZAC Round v Warriors (AAMI Park)

I was meaning when all fit..

Tui’s 2 game ban for a late shove on DCE is a joke. Haas gets 1 game for breaking a guys hip!

Re: RD 8 - ANZAC Round v Warriors (AAMI Park)

I would love to have Tui and another wrecking ball on the bench. That’s 1 from Pene, Moreira or Sims

Re: RD 8 - ANZAC Round v Warriors (AAMI Park)

I love CB to bits but we’ve got to use the bench more. Last week the replacements got an average of about 20mins or so.

May have been skewed by Eisenhuth injury but Sims and Garlick must get more than 14 and 22 mins respectively…especially with NAS on an injury return

Re: An honest assessment

A very thought provoking post. What I would I factor into player reviews are the losses of the Broms/Kafusi for leadership with the spark of the Cheese and K Brom (down the left) also being missed. Plus we up until the last few weeks have had a boatload of injuries. Missing Munster for 2 games was t...

He certainly is. He’s no Paps but he’s a very good NRL FB.

Meaney 1 and Munny running the left with some licence to roam suits us best

Re: RD 7 - Storm @ Manly (4 Pines Park)

Utterly dreadful. Some defensive grit to keep the score down. That was the only positive. Discipline and ball control awful. Many will knock Meaney and he’s no Paps but we missed him tonight. Just a solid FB. Keep Cam away from 1. He’s far better suited to 6 and kept mainly to the left. Defensively ...

Re: Round 6 Storm v Roosters

After saying I would not singe people out, a big shout out for Xavier Coates who was the best winger on the field.

Great hands In the conditions, made more impact in high ball contests and took his tries well.

He gets a fair bit of stick at times but deserves some praise for last night…

Re: Round 6 Storm v Roosters

Terrific display, even more given the conditions. Solid efforts across the park with the spine brilliant well supported by the usual workhorses. I don’t like singling out individuals but Munster has been instrumental in our wins and a clear absentee in out losses. He’s such a difference maker. When ...

Re: Round 5 Rabbitohs v Storm

We missed a lot in the first 20 mins when both teams were doing 70m a set. After that we tightened up a lot. Importantly in our own 20 in the 2nd half when it really mattered.

Stats are only ever part of the story…

Re: Round 5 Rabbitohs v Storm

Yea that’s an awful decision. Maybe it really is time for Bellamy to go. Are you on acid? It’s obvious one of the backs must be carrying a knock. Great win defensively. Some work on attack but that’s a great improvement on past weeks. I hoped we would win 2 from Rabbits, Roosters and Manly so that’...

Re: Storm @ Gold Coast Titans Cbus Super Stadium, 3.00pm AEDT

Absolutely dreadful.

Never seen such indiscipline in all facets of the game. And still could have won.

Awful. Hurt more than the Dogs game this one…

On the flip. Pezet showed some class and clearly has the balls for NRL level.

Re: Round 2 v Bulldogs at AAMI Park

Based on the presser, I think the boys will have a tough week at training. Effort called out repeatedly by CB. I think we can all take losing a tough game with a good effort. Tonight we were miles off for 50-60mins and some late tries flattered us. Can’t blame the injuries tonight but a fresh face o...
