Round 25 Discussion

[Big Pete]

Souths look busted.

That was a good break from McQueen but Souths never looked like doing much on the back of it.

They need to change up their attack. Try and get Walker more involved in the play, he's the go to guy.

 

[Big Pete]

Rabs just asked Gould and Johns how you stop the wrestle and they didn't have an answer.

It's pretty simple, you penalise and then you bin. When the ends don't justify the means, they'll cut it out.

 

[Super Freak]

Reynolds kicking has been shit tonight.

Straight to a Bulldogs player that takes it easily...every fucking time.

 

[Super Freak]

****!

He had Inglis right next to him!

 

[Super Freak]

TUQIRI!

 

[Big Pete]

Onya Lote.

He's had a strong game tonight the old fella.

Great pass from Reynolds to put him away too.

 

[Super Freak]

Walker jumped too early for that one.

 

[Super Freak]

Game over for Bulldogs.

Thank ****.

 

[Super Freak]

I wonder how Finucane feels after that.

George is such a strong runner. I would hate to be the bloke tackling him.

 

[Bull Shark]

all the NRL wants for Christmas is a Souths premiership

 

[Big Pete]

Souths take it 21-14.

Good result for the Broncos.

Not much of a game really. Dogs employed just about the only gameplan they could and just tried to spoil Souths momentum and they nearly succeeded.

However, that kick out on the full from Hodkinson proved costly and Souths were able to put it away.

I think tonight was a test for Souths and while it was far from comprehensive, they came up with the right answers tonight. They'll need to be better down the line.

As do the referees. They let far too much go tonight and their performance contributed to a frustrating game of football.

Footy Show time, so back to assessment.

 

[I bleed Maroon]

That's two miraculous upsets we need, one from Newcastle and one from the Titans

 

[gordjw]

Well, if the dogs try was called back for a forward pass, the Burgess try certainly should have been. I maintain that Keary was tackled before he passed the ball off the ground.
It's also annoying to hear the commentary be so biased towards the (Ray) Warrens.

All in all, a terrible game and it felt like just enough is being done to get Souths the minor premiership.

 

[Battler]

I hope the Titans can pull an epic performance out of their ass next week. The dogs missing the eight would be sweet.

 

[Super Freak]

Hopefully Eels lose their next 2 games and Warriors lose 1.

All Broncos would need to do is win 1.

 

[Alec]

I wonder how the rest of the Souffs forwards feel about the Burgess Bros. Like, why even keep them around.

 

[Broncoman]

The Dogs went out there to niggle and to put Souths of their game and they did this quite effectively for most of the game as Souths didn't put away a struggling team till the last 10 minutes. Souths are a top team no doubt but if you can get over them through the middle you can halt their progress quite well. They are a team that are powerful through the middle with GI and the Burgess boys. A-Reynolds didn't play very well behind a forward pack that was being outmuscled.

all the NRL wants for Christmas is a Souths premiership

Channel 9 commentators want it more. They have massive boners for the Rabbitohs.

 

[Super Freak]

What the Bulldogs did tonight, that's what Broncos should have done.

When you give them a taste of their own medicine, they can't handle it.

It will be interesting to see what Luke gets for striking out with the foot. I think Reynolds got a Grade 1 charge? I wonder if Luke will get the same..
