Where's the best place to watch game replays? Been overseas and wouldn't mind catching up on the last few wins!

egg you fail to see what his two mistakes did in terms of damage to the game, they directly lead to conceding points, that is totally unexceptable.
Then you go on and rattle out a whole heap of **** that any fullback is EXPECTED to do. And let's face it he barely ball plays, he is the paul gallen of fullbacks when it comes to attacking. I also found it funny you compared one of his runs to the guy who we are saying should replace him haha
You should always look to improve the side even if we are winning and that is by putting barba at fullback and gordon to nsw cup before it cost us

Yeah but but but after his 6 errors he had an honest game.

So I was at the game yesterday but wanted to sleep on it before I posted, take a look at the last try with freh eyes this morning.
I think I am even more confused now then I was yesterday about the no try ruling. If that is separation, then obviously I don't know the rules..... Yes it hits his forearm first but it never loses contact with his arm/hand the whole way down, and there is a lot more downward pressure then a lot of the tries we have seen this year. Secondly, the penalty really confuses me, if we had a penalty why was it not a penalty try. I know we have all said this many times through this thread but I just want to say I am just as confused as the rest of us. I think an explanation needs to be given and a full review of that no try by the ref bosses so that we can get some clarification on the ruling for FUTURE reference, it wont matter for this game, but surely we can't have these dodgy decisions occurring week in week out like they have been.
Apart from that, the fans at the game were amazing, we were just as loud as the Canberra fans, well done.
The game was really fluent and although the raiders played a bit lethargic I still think we did well in forcing their errors and making them play second phase with good line speed.
If we play like we did yesterday against the warriors unfortunately I don't think it will be enough to win but I think some improvement in key areas will help us go along way to winning next week.
For what its worth, I think Barba would have ripped that game open towards the end when the raiders got tired.

If he had no prior history with tripping he would be fine.
Having been suspended for an identical incident this year , he should be facing 1 week.

Watched the replay,he(Gordon) made some good runs and passed well in one try and defended well. Surely he's in our team, hes won us more games than Barba,I would have thought it was still Ricky L thats under most scrutiny in our team? But Anyway, we keeps winning as it is, why care?

Our recent wins have come of some brilliance from Fifita, Barba, Holmes and company but really it is just
Masking our problems in the halves. Bird is doing ok at 5/8 but he needs to play centre, thats his position.
Problem there is that with Robson at half he will never see quality ball.
This will only be fixed by good halves and we need to wait till next year for that.
Barba needs to play fullback for 80. If yr going to play Gordon it has to be on the wing.

What game has Gordon won us with a match winning play? Not a goal kick, an actual match winning play.

Agree with all of what you said Stormshark . Apart from the won us more games
He should be winger and Lutes dropped .
Or Barba at 5/8 as I'm not convinced we can go all the way with our present halves pairing

Why care? His errors are adding unwanted pressure to our team. Right now we need to win games but we need to win with margins. We have a negative for and against and if we are going to make the 8 we either need lots of wins or just enough but an improved points differential. He went into touch twice. A knock on. An offload to the defence. 2 knock ons in support. Plus a stupid offload to bird 10 metres out that coulda been fatal. Without so many errors and us having to defend those errors, we won by 12. Not 1.
Every player can be forgiven for an error. But 5 or 6 in a game is unforgivable, especially if you arent adding great value anyway

When paul kent says that was 100 percent a try something is clearly wrong

why would you put gordon on the wing for? He doesn't have the skill to score try's like feki and val doAgree with all of what you said Stormshark . Apart from the won us more games

The fact is he is our third best fullback and winger at the club yet he gets first choice at fullback. Actually id put him as our fourth best winger because gagen has more skill then him, winger is a specialised position now and it's not like it was when he was a winger.
He was absolute junk yesterday and did his best to lose the game for us, but but but he made some good runs, FMD it's such idiotic logic when people talk up the good things that flash did yesterday that is expected of him but he rarely does it.
How many times does the ball get to him in the back line and he kills the attack by just stepping inside. He has no attacking game. Big deal he set up a try yesterday, he should be doing it more often because that's what the good fullbacks do these days, but he isn't a good fullback. He is a handbrake
The only thing he is half decent at is running the ball back but he even ****ed that up yesterday with two rookie errors. He isn't ip to first grade standard in our team when we have better players who would add FAR more then him and do a way better job.
Moving him to wing makes us weaker and doesn't solve the problrms that he causes us. Val and feki are working great on the wing and barba has proved he is the better fullback then flash. It's that ****ing simple

Not in attack, but earlier in the year he definitely got us home with 2-3 great try saving tackles in one game, can't remember who against off the top of my head.
Just finished watching the game, and in my opinion his only massive error was a ridiculous offloads on our 10 from a kick return about 30 minutes in. Whilst there were other errors most of them were under pressure or tough chances. I did also think he could have positioned himself better to bring the ball back though which would have made life easier for him.
Thanks it worked fine on this link.
That is some seriously funny stuff. Arms crossed and full of ricky rage and then the singing starts......loud.
Bird gordan both had shockers and we still won
