[Round 19, 2021] Panthers vs Broncos

[Mustafur]

Good thing Croft did not do that, hey?

Multiple times in the last game 2 of which where directly responsible for tries.

Just a Question, do you only defend plodders?

No, he didn't do that on any occasion. He wasn't responsible for any of the tries against us. That's fake news. Of course, you could prove your claim. Just pop the video of two tries you claim he was responsible for on the net. Then you can prove I'm wrong. Funny thing though, I know you cannot do it.

By all rights there should be a tonne more venom in this game following the Pangai news, but we all know there won't be. We will roll over for another 40+ point loss.

At 4:54, he rushes out on the line doesn't even look to where Herbie is who is coming back into the line, Brooks moves to the right to attract him and leaves the huge hole that can't be defended, had he held back there would of been more time for cover defence this is very basic stuff, you can put a little blame on Herbie there but Croft made that situation fatal.

At 4:06 he rushes out of the line which makes him offside the refs calls his name so he has to back out giving Douhei space that he shouldn't of had that results in a Try.

Wouldn't Douhie have had all that space if Croft was in line with the others anyway? Farnworth was simply beaten. Anyway, it's irrelevant. My point was always the same, Croft didn't let in five tries and was unfairly blamed. Let's just worry about Penrith. I think everyone's very upset with where we are and we're all looking for things to blame. I'm tired of feeling this way.

Retreating from the line going behind due to being offside where he would of been definitely helped, Doueihi would of had to do the pass much earlier giving the defence more time to react.

You said to show this I did.

Typically it would be a terrible idea to let one of your star players leave early enough to be in your upcoming opponents camp leading up to the game because of all the inside knowledge they could share except Kev doesn’t have any tactics and TPJ couldn’t understand them even if he did.

This is gold! So the mutual dumbness equals a genius move at destabilisation.

**** Huge, **** Isucko and **** Croft.

Back on topic - Panthers by 30.

 

[Scorchie]

Here you go, Huge.

1st and 3rd lead to direct tries. 2nd was the 3rd try, i.e. the play before.

Your guy messed up - if he didnt rush up, the others wouldnt have had to compress or it would've held Wests up a bit more. Hopefully he moves up with his teammates this time (i.e. tells them he's about to) or holds the line.

Of course you will reply saying it's Glenn's fault for not covering the inside or Herbie's fault for not containing the ball.

How is it that Huge ALWAYS picks the wrong hill to die on?

 

[Mustafur]

Herbie is a decent defensive centre and last year I thought he was easily our strongest edge defender, but when paired with Croft it's just a try waiting to happen, Croft needs to understand a defensive line, soo many times he was caught out, and I do understand that rushing out is an effective strategy sometimes, but he is making that decision without looking at his surroundings.

We had alot of positives out of that game against Tigers though, we easily had the most potent attack(we could create tries almost at will thanks to Gambles devastating line passing, unlike tigers which was from our errors) but we could not defend an error at all and when you look at stuff like this I would be scared to face even the dogs if that's what we are doing.

Love's a challenge and always goes big..... I mean HUGE!!!

 

[Kooly87]

Almost as absurd as it was blaming Milford for the entire teams dismal performances over the last couple years.

Get rid of Milford and we're a different team.....?

errr........no, sorry.....we're still a mixed rabble of raw talent and stupidity.

The argument (at least from me) was more along the lines of Milford, our highest paid player by a long way, having little to no impact on our team and it's results either way, so yes, you're absolutely correct in proving that argument entirely valid now.

 

[Kooly87]

I still struggle to really give 2 ***** about a halfback's defence.

If he isn't kicking well......organising well.....ball playing well.....attacking well
then he's useless to me.

Useless.......meet Brodie Croft.

At least Milford will have company there now.

Pffft... as if you need inside knowledge to bea the Broncos these days.

If Penrith turn up and do even 75% of their jobs we'll do the rest for them and beat ourselves.

Here you go, Huge.

Still shots do not tell the complete story. Video clips do. Isolate each try down that side.

Huge you're on planet pluto mate. Croft soley gave the tigers 3 tries alone in one half.
