Sounds like i wont need to watch the replay. Good game to miss.. But honestly we are pretty ordinary.
Have been this whole year. A few big wins again **** teams, and a few against good teams that started the year poorly.
Just making up the numbers if we make the finals.

Can I ask your rationale behind being okay to move Ronnie to centre when he hasn’t played there in a long time, but being dead against anyone taking Moylan’s spot?

Seems like a contradiction to me.

I can see Tribdall playing cup, I have literally no idea how Ronnie is going at centre. Maybe he gets reps there at training literally every week and looks decent?
If coach thought Ronnie would go better there than Iro I don’t have any info there to disagree with that

Recent history tells us that when we get well beaten it's when our forwards get owned . I said this through last week that if we can match the Warriors in the forwards then we will be fine but never got close . When Berry and Pompay are getting tries , 2 average centres , then you know that the Warriors forwards were getting them into the last quarter where they score the majority of their tries from .

The Rabbits matched the warriors in the forwards and got the result , and i would suggest the Warriors will struggle against the Panthers and the Storm and any other team who's forwards match them , they play a very simple game plan and we never got close to matching it .

We have real issues until our forwards start aiming up , we can bemoan the play out the back all we want but it's hard to do much when the forwards are meak .

Well…. That was a good game to miss. 🫤

 

[Sir Chadley]

So glad I didn’t watch all of that debacle.

I’m not even gonna bother with the replay. I really have no words about the result, deepdown I knew we were going to struggle over there.

It must be patently obvious to everyone that this team is not going to finish top four let alone win the comp. I think we’ve all known that from the beginning of the season.

Is dropping players and bringing new ones in really going to help? I just don’t think we have the cattle across our top 30 to compete with the top sides.

Wish I went with Chad to his cricket presso instead

Had a much better time that’s for sure mate. My young boy got his hat trick trophy and we left very happy.

Good on him, watch first 12min then flick it off

Or just watch the first 10 seconds highlights reel.

Not with the crowd. Just before their run Williams got spin on massively and should of got penalty. Next set the crowd we’re baying for penalty every run and ref gave them one which lead to their first try

We know we can’t defend tryline so this is not saying it’s not our own fault still but crowd winning plenty of momentum against us

Crowd were loud - all game. A lot of passion from even the mums and kids where I was sitting. Warriors should go deep into the finals.

 

[ben]

Our halves are the main difference.

But Jesus - our left side is insanely bad. For me, I thought Talakai was our main defensive **** up of the day. First three tries against us were all him.

Moylan not much better but Talakai - what in the absolute **** was that today?

He is a ****ing cannonball shaped human that needs to propel himself in the same way Katoa, Cam, Finucane does. Bigger run up. Did he even have a tackle bust today?? I dont remember one.

 

[apezza]

Just watched presser. Basically -
- Agreed edge defence was terrible
- mentioned being out enthused / energy
- stayed there will be plenty of defence during the week

No one asked him about our record v top 8 teams.

 

[Johnny B Goode]

Gotta make changes though

Many

 

[The Punisher]

Our starting middle forwards
Kaufusi 57m
Rudolf 93m
McInnes 71m

Warriors
AFB 164m
Barnett 142m
Harris 96m

Kafusi is dog ****
Cant punch his way out of a wet paper bag.
Built like Tarzan, runs like Jane

 

[Yes]

Ramien and Wilton might be out

Fair enough sorry bro never thought about the injuries

 

[ben]

If Ramien and Teig are out.

Ramien - Tracy
Teig - not wade. But I dont know who else

 

[beaver2233]

If Ramien and Teig are out.

Ramien - Tracy
Teig - not wade. But I dont know who else

Colquhoun in for Teig. Or Sifa, with Ronnie at centre and bring in Stonestreet.

 

[Pishposh46]

Our women's team won't have the same problem of beating a team in the 8.

Media fabricated apparenlty

I hope the media keep f**king drilling it into the coach so he realises just how bad he’s been going

Yeah it's like they're living in their own little world. You'd think the players would lift and prove everyone wrong, but they just accept mediocrity.
