Round 26 - v Manly - Friday 6pm

[Morgan]

Earlier this year or last year this would have seemed like an ironic joke but if not for LKT's defence, that side would have leaked 5 tries by now.

 

[Gippsy]

What the hell is holmes doing. Rushed up twice, 2 tries.

 

[kogarahwarrior]

Why do we always look like we're playing with a man down even with 13 on the field?

 

[Gippsy]

Wow... they know if they move it wide they score

 

[RedV01]

This is a sick joke.

 

[Dragon David]

I am getting concerned now that Deano will not be much help even though we are getting better players. Very worried now. He needs to toughen up with the players.

 

[Eric]

Can Deano send orders out that in defence the wingers have to stay within 2m of the sideline no matter what? It would cost a few tries on the inside but I think save more on the outside.

 

[kogarahwarrior]

What does Dean do to prepare this team?

 

[Morgan]

Is Heidke available for first grade? Is he on a development contract? Any thought about just throwing him in for the last game to see how he goes. He won't be worse than Suli or Holmes.

 

[Gippsy]

7 errors so far.

Plus another penalty

 

[Dragon David]

My god we are just plain hopeless.

 

[RufusRex]

holmes both sides of the ball just horrible .. most of the errors on him

even the stewart offload to Saab was Holmes error being disconnected .. he has obviously bet on us to conceed 50

First half standouts:

• LKT
• Stewart
• LPT

Were Couchman's off for much longer than usual? Not the worst thing. Forwards are going fine. Our problems in that half were 1~5.

Joke of a 1st half by the usual weekly suspects

Highlight of the first half. Olakawatu ran straight at LKT near the line. One on one, which shouldn't happen in that part of the field, LKT stop him in his tracks and put him on his back. His defence might be the best part of his game now.

 

[Gourley's Socks]

Val's defence has been doing my head in all year. Either shows his opposite man the outside and then gets beaten or rushes out of the line and tackles air.

I can't count how many opposition tries have his name all over them.

Mistakes with the ball all year as well.

I wonder what the half time talk was ?
