Nines / Trial Games

[Mitch06]

Aaron Woods literally does five efforts in one tackle but play on. Then does a high shot very next play and also play on.

The reffs must have been told to reduce penalties. I saw at least 4 high tackles in the Dragons Eels game and no one batted an eye.

don't worry they'll make that up by penalising us in our game against the Storm

 

[Mitch06]

Flegler costs us big time. He doesn't appear too have many brain cells

 

[Pub Steak]

Oh look it's the storm. Quick let's shit the bed.

 

[Kyall]

God I hope we don't bring this shit into the season

 

[Sproj]

Well that try to Isaako was off a very forward pass.

 

[Footy Fanatic]

Long term spine:

1. Nui/Walsh

6. Milford
7. Dearden

9. Paix

yikes

 

[Pub Steak]

As long as we beat melb even in the 9s then the curse is over

 

[Footy Fanatic]

The Croft signing has been a smokescreen to take away from the fact Dearden will be starting halfback in 2020.

Isaako is a terrible player.

God, I hope he is not our fullback. Given the way we have been over the past few years, if he is named to start, they will persist with him, no matter how shit he is.

He deadset could not catch Coronavirus in China and his defence is abysmal, both positionally and in one v one contact.

If he is the best we can do? We are in all sorts...

Would be happy to see Bullemor replace him this year

 

[BrentTatesChin]

Surely Paix gets 14.

F*ck Macca right off

Croft looked good, have some of you just decided you will hate him regardless?

What did he do?

 

[TimWhatley]

That set on Melbourne's line was the best attacking footy I've seen from us in a while. Croft and Dearden seem to combine well.

 

[Art Vandelay]

What did he do?

Not much. Nobody was running when we had the ball so the halves had the options of passing to a stationary player, kicking for a stationary player or dummying to a stationary player and running themselves.

I thought we actually looked reasonably smooth when he was handling the ball.

His first touch in the first game setup a half break after he cut inside and later in that game I think it was him that passed to Staggs who dropped it cold when he would've scored.

Second game he looked more of a 13 a side halfback. Set up that movement to the right side... that is stock standard, but something we've been missing for awhile. Later he threw a nice pass back in field to attack in behind the ruck... again stock standard stuff but the kind of stuff we have been missing since basically Lockyer.

His defence looked solid considering it's nines and you're going to get a lot of one on one tackles against big physical backs and forwards.

I suspect he will cop it for his kick dead, but it wasn't far off and nines doesn't really lend itself to kicking games... he should've done better with it though.

He's basically there to get us around the field and leave it to the other half for the attack... and chime in when he can. Which I think he showed he can do quite well.
