Round 11: St George Illawarra v New Zealand

[Morgan]

Considering the amount of ball they've had, and tries from kicks, the defence has been pretty good. Except for that Johnson try. The try and the leadup to it.

 

[Chris M]

Coach Griffin must have been in touch with Chris M. Amone doing far more of everything. Hunt not taking it upon himself.

I was going to say. On a dry track and with a little better go-forward from the forwards, the set up with Amone doing much more and Hunt talking less upon himself will be a boon for this team. Need Lodge! Or need to do something about the middle forwards. Woods is no longer first grade standard. Usually doesn't even bend the line. Lawrie is not a starting prop. He gets dominated early on.

Agree. Middle forwards making more metres and this team will be far better.

FFS, forwards nee to get up off the line and hit in the tackles! And then when they finally have the ball, they have to run hard, support each other and look for quick play the balls!!!! F**K our forwards are bad!

Just finished breakfast seems that my prediction of no go forward in the ruck is coming true unfortunately

Yep. Calling a spade a spade.

I'm losing my mind!

The good news is that M. Molo looks like an NRL player.

 

[Morgan]

Michael Molo is a bright spot for sure. Footwork, runs hard, hits hard and sticks.

 

[GCRV]

keep in mind as Andrew Voss said, that was the first penalty and first 6 again in the game for the Dragons as opposed to about 10 for the Warriors.

 

[jodragon40]

So far 30 missed tackles usual suspects Lawrie Bird Mbye so on course for another 50. Not 1 forward looks like achieving 100m + based on those 2 stats alone we can't win in saying that we have only had 43% possession and completion is 75% so balances out it will go down to the wire today

 

[Morgan]

At least we have backs. Ramsey having a blinder at fullback!

 

[jodragon40]

Is Bird still on the field? Stats show 2 runs for 11m, I can manage that and 5 missed tackles out of 20 he's made. If he's not hooked he should be so we have a chance.

 

[jodragon40]

The stats indicate Lomax is having a blinder

He's on. Not doing much.

 

[jodragon40]

He's on. Not doing much.

Stats indicate our best attacking players are Ramsay and Lomax

 

[Eric]

The stats indicate Lomax is having a blinder

Lomax is going ok. Suli having a blinder. Ramsey as well.

 

[GCRV]

A few lucky breaks in the second half to even up the first half.

Stats show me that our forwards are not going forward

 

[jodragon40]

Be sure to check stats after the game. I'm betting Lawrie, Woods, Bird, Mbye missing tackles again. Obviously Jazz Tavanga ran straight over the top of Mybe and Lawrie. Haven't noticed the others but I'm sure they are there.

Stats indicate no go forward
