It cant be overstated how tucked the referring was. Yea our team made plenty of mistakes, but you take out the early bullshit pens, and its a very different game.

Do we still get flogged? Maybe, but we will never know. So many doggies points were scored off the back of that momentum gained by the tef. That constant having to defend is draining, and those calls against you are mentally draining.

That lost challenge was such a fucking crock. The Warriors knew it was obstruction. The doggies players thought it was obstruction and the player was trying to submit to not have a pen called against them. The only people who thought it was a pen against us were the Ref and the bunker.

Fucking hell, fans of every team in reddit were saying we were being fucked.
 
Fish the most over rated prop in the game. He’s been outplayed by Clark, Demi and even Ford FFs what a waste of 800k. But he has aura lol. And Marata. Charnze is clearly having a sook because his dad moved him from fullback, 6 runs in 2 games.
Can Webby even coach, get Tangatatoa in. We’ve had the same problem with no solutions for about 8 weeks now. Healey was our best last week and we needed him on at about the 20 minute mark and he’s brought on with 25 to go, with the game gone?? Fucken dumb.
No solutions from Webster?

He isn't Jesus, he can't bring injured players back from the dead.

Cheer up.

Our club is shaping up nicely.

Thanks to Webster these guys put the effort in, even when they are getting ripped off.
 
Well I know watched the first 40 (thinking if i stopped we win). At least we got some points.

Im starting to question webbhs coaching and tactics more and more. Being wet weather with dogs having good defence, a boot of boyd kicking long could have wrestled some momentum back.

The more i watch niukore the more he pisses me off. Honestly would rather we jjsg give EIT an edge crack or kayliss theyd do more than a dude thats built like tarzan but plays like jane.

Charnze seems like he dont wanna be center so thats webbys issue. Play him and probably lose taine to another club.

I have us besting dragons eels titans, always had us losing to dogs. Still think we make the 8, but watcjing other teams we dont look like a top 8 team.

Oh and Adam Gee can get fucked…
 
Bludger. The interchanges are rubbish as they have been all season. Healy should have started and been rested for the middle of the game.

Our defence through the middle is really good still and we seem connected, but just always seem to get pinged and lose the rub of the green.

We’ve got hard games coming up and with TMM out it’s back to Tanah Boyd. Taine couldn’t do much in the wet weather but his general play was good.

Dallin needs a rest, works hard but brain fades on defence and drops/penalties kill us. Too late in the season to change things up too much but maybe CNK back to fullback and Taine on the bench covering wing/5/8 and fullback.

CHT is great on defence but not attack, maybe he’s a 14. Erin Clark and Jackson ford have big motors and were excellent.

Every game from here on in is a must win and a chance to make the finals. I don’t think we had one offload in that game
 
I don't understand Webbys rotations at all. We were getting completely rolled up the middle in the first half, so he leaves Lussick out there. Then brings him back on with 4 minutes to go!

TSS hasn't impressed me either. Who do Bunty or Ale need to screw to get back in the lineup? If someone can tell me what TSS brings over them I'd love to hear it.

And for dropping the one guy with a big boot when it was always forecast to piss down - that is seriously galaxy brain from him. Elite mega mind tactical genius.
 
That was one of the most one sided , Cheating officiating i have ever seen against us. And they'll keep doing it until we challenge the cunts. For real. Fuck this shit.

On top of poor performances by many.
Webby is really starting to fuck me off. Keeping players on to long until they fatigue and make mistakes or get lazy. We had a weapon on the bench! And didn't bring him on until the 2nd half?

Then dropping Boyd, Who is the superior kicker out of our halves for 2 halves who couldn't kick a stone!? We needed a basic game plan in the rain. Strong hit ups, towering bombs and kicks into the corners.

But no, We pick Fabio The Bush Hunter & Agatha Christie Harris.

Big ups Ford & Tanner Stowers Smith. Ran and tackled hard.
