Round 5 vs Newcastle Knights

[jodragon40]

In these conditions there is nowhere to hide especially in defence. If your structures aren't good enough and each individual player fails to do their job the opposition will take advantage of that. Unfortunately Sloan is being targeted in the front line and he's not up to it defensively. In attack you have to play to your strengths Newcastle is their pack ours our big backs and edges. Newcastle are rolling through our middle. Completion rates have to be high at half time we have a 73% completion rate Newcastle 85%. Errors 6 - 3 in favour of the home side. If we don't improve and start running straight and hard instead of sideways this may get ugly. Over to the coach now to give them a well deserved revving.

 

[Chris M]

All Suli dies is run straight and hard. It's not bad but can't we do any better?

 

[GCRV]

One pass, run straight, get tackled x 4 and kick. That's it.

 

[Eric]

One pass, run straight, get tackled x 4 and kick. That's it.

Can Flanno send a message out, let them know they are 14 behind?

Sloan wing Zac fb

Yep

 

[jodragon40]

Yep

Got to be because of his inability to make a tackle in the front line and being caught out of position

 

[Chris M]

Feel terrible for Bird but he never should have been starting in the centres.

 

[Eric]

Bird gone. Fate has made Flanno come to his senses.

Wait a minute

 

[Chris M]

It's official. Kyle Flanagan is not first grade standard.

 

[Chris M]

Is it too early to start with Sack Flanno?

 

[jodragon40]

Is it too early to start with Sack Flanno?

Mate he hasn't got the players

 

[Morgan]

Is it too early to start with Sack Flanno?

No.

Mate he hasn't got the players

He's the one picking BMM, Eisenhuth, Mike Molo, Bird. To a lesser extent, his son.

 

[Eric]

No.

He's the one picking BMM, Eisenhuth, Mike Molo, Bird. To a lesser extent, his son.

He's the one sending Lomax on his way for Suli and Bird to play in the centres. WTF is that about?

 

[Chris M]

Flanno has to make some serious changes. Not just tinkering around the edges. That's all I have to say about tonight.

 

[jodragon40]

A footballing lesson how to play good wet weather footy vrs how not to. But when your rolling forwards through the middle of the park. You must go forwards before you try to run around the opposition. That was fairly poor tonight, too much sideways running, and as I said last week the key is consistency and we are nowhere near consistent.

Dane Gagai gave our centres a bath.

Zac, JDB (again!) and Liddle are the only Dragons I give a pass mark to tonight. Suli ran straight and hard, again, again, again and again. Would be a gun second rower, wouldn't he? From a centre I'd like to see some more variety.

And their 6 and 7 out played ours ...... Really Hunt can't control a game never has and never will ...... Yep Flanno extend his contract ......
