Round 25: Dragons vs Cronulla Sharks - 25 August @ 4:05PM

[Red T]

Pretty average first half, but still in striking distance if possession turns around. Glad Feagai is off….

 

[Just a Mug Fan]

Hunt has played really well the last 2 weeks as the second fullback.

 

[RedVHeartbeat]

Neat chip Sloan.

 

[RedVHeartbeat]

We shud've scored then

The real fullback hasn't helped him much.

 

[RedVHeartbeat]

Like litening then Sloan, quick play the ball and has Hunt barged his way over. Yes he grounded it.

Looks like Sloan won't crack 100m again. Last week the little GC fullback ran for over 300 in a losing team.

Where is the 9Now feed???

I dreamed of finals footy until I saw this can't see us beating Parramatta next week

 

[Eric]

Getting embarrassing now.

Can't see us winning another game this year.

Next year for semi finals football as predicted unfortunately. This is the difference between a competitive top 8 team to a fringe uncompetitive top 8 team. Still predict 12th finish

What about it. He is busy making most of our attacking plays. Love to see him at 5/8. For him to get big mts you need GO forward and good distribution and we have neither.

 

[st george tragic]

Talk about zero going our way ref getting in the way then shark mile forward pass

 

[GCRV]

What about it. He makes most of our attacking plays. He needs GO forward and good distribution for big mts and we have neither.

He needs to not drop so many bombs, needs to run twice as many metres, needs to miss half as many tackles all the while setting up as many tries as he does now to be considered close to the best fullbacks.

Bring on Ben Rumble for me. Maybe Holmes next year. Suli and Buchanan centres, Finau and CT wingers.

Anyway, the score now is a fair indication of the game. From the first set they were confident, moving the ball around, making Dragons make one on one tackles. Something our halves haven't been able to since Widdop.

 

[RedVHeartbeat]

GO forward

Lack of today. With no forward making 100m. Some cud barely make 50.

 

[RedVHeartbeat]

Something our halves haven't been able to since Widdop.

First thing I agree about.

 

[Red T]

Have to win both games to get in now. Today was embarrassing after having everything to play for.

 

[RedVHeartbeat]

Bring on Ben Rumble for me.

No way. Slow as a cart horse. I am all for Holmes playing at the back with Sloan in the halves. He is now our busiest back. Has improved his defense out of site and his intent. Always had ball in hand skills so a no brainer to get him into a play making role.

And is the only fullback on the comp to regularly run less than 100m.
