Re: 2024 Round 3 v Warriors: Game Day

Good post game presser from Stuart too
didnt take the bait offered up... credit where it's due.
You can let the easy ones go through to the keeper.

Re: 2024 Round 3 v Warriors: Game Day

Yeah there was a lot to like about his game
Not sure he’ll end up in the points once everyone has had their say, but I’m happy to reward him with my points for his performance

Re: 2024 Round 3 v Warriors: Game Day

Im fond of saying sometimes in the POTY a narrative wins When a young player has been bashed from pillar to post about how he isnt physical and cant defend and he makes two exceptional try savers and one on arguably the hardest bloke to bring down 1 on 1 in the game... he's got points for me in a lo...

Re: 2024 Round 3 v Warriors: Game Day

When I watched that inside ball to Rapana where he dropped it, I instantly thought Chevy. Still, I doubt Chevy matches Rapa that game. I dont mind them holding him back. Agreed. I was all aboard the Chevy train to begin with but the trails showed he needs a little more time Wont be long, Stuart con...

Re: 2024 Rd 4 v Sharks: Teams and Previews

Changes that should be made that i think will happen: Hors and Kris for Saulo/Guler (dealers choice, its close enough that i wont argue the toss either way) and Cotric. Hors and Kris simply have to be in this football team, they are rep level footballers and we dont have rep level players in the squ...

Agreed, he is the biggest change from last year if you wanted to pin it on a single player. Indeed Whitehead minutes for Smithies was a downgrade W...

Re: 2024 Round 3 v Warriors: Game Day

Does anyone else think we look a little less soft this year? We still have our defensive line broken from time to time, but our last line scramble defence kind of reminds me of 2019. Defence over all has been improved, some players letting us down and Hosking was one of them tonight, had a bit of a...

Re: 2024 Round 3 v Warriors: Game Day

Problem is Starling was worse than Levi. His two passes from the scrum to Savage late in the game were absolute floaters. Agreed. Starling isnt a NRL FG either Our hooker stocks are dire. I'd be really interested in sniffing around the mid season transfer market to see who might be available. I'd b...

Re: 2024 Round 3 v Warriors: Game Day

I think you're off the mark. He made a poor decision - so what? He touches the ball more than any other player on the field. I think that little insight from you shows you wrote him off after that and didn't really see it for what it was. I get it, you don't rate him but he is most definitely our b...

Thought Smithies and Guler were excellent tonight. 8m That penalty not long after the Tapine no try really changed momentum.

Re: 2024 Round 3 v Warriors: Game Day

Not worried or annoyed at all really besides the fact that Stuart will make the wrong moves next week. I’ve seen enough now to know, until it is Chevy time, that the best three quarters are Savage Kris Timoko Schiller With our limited ball play we need threats on both edges. Cotric or Hoppa would b...

Re: 2024 Round 3 v Warriors: Game Day

Always going to be a tough ask to go over there and win given how desperate the warriors were. We gave ourselves plenty of chances but couldnt finish.

No more winning team, good chance to get our best 17 footballers in the team next wee please.
