The last game and a half shows how important Mets is to the side. Impossible to know, but our season could have been so different if he wasn't injured for most of it. Sifakula looks the goods. WIth him and Leka coming through, we really do have some of the best rising star forwards in the game.
With the exception of the tits game and maybe the dragons game as well, I think we have outrun the opposition every week. But what good is dominating the ruck if we can't score? Opposition always scores with their first or maybe second set in our 20. Same shit every week this season.
What does Bunty have to do to get into this team? A bench of Bunty, Ale and Leka would have been fire. Other than that, can't complain about this time. If we don't get this done against an eels team without Moses, we really don't deserve to be in the finals conversation anyway.
that first 20 was awful but I felt we came back towards the end of the first half. Started showing a little line speed in defense and winning some ruck collisions. Raiders certainly took the foot off the pedal. If we score first after the break, we are still in this despite how shit we were to...
he gets a lot of hate sometimes from this forum, but he's been really valuable for us on the left edge. Not a coincidence that the defense has stiffened up since then. He may not be a spring chicken but he still value to give to the game, both us and the maroons. Wish him luck (but not too much)...
we would have rolled them in the 2nd half if the big man upstairs didn't decide to fuck with us by removing our entire backline. Dogs had nothing in attack and were getting dominated by us in the middle.
As far as I'm concerned, we learnt two things yesterday.
1. We are a better side than the dogs. The game started off as an arm wrestle, but we showcased our physical dominance in the first half and broke down their defensive wall twice in a 10 minute period when we controlled the ball for all...
boys have two weeks to lick their wounds and go again. Season isn't over but we probably have to go super close to winning all our games. Our draw is relatively easy, so there is still hope. Halasima reminds me of Talakai. What a beast.
Quite gutsy but let's be honest, this is one of those games that got away. We were all over these pricks before all the injuries happened. But even then, we had the chances to win this game. I daresay, SJ would have nailed one of those shots. AFB has every right to be pissed off at CHT after his...
tbf we were that way last year. After so many years of being shit, they deserve to have a good year. I think we can all sympathise with that. But the few posters there with half a footy brain know that this is going to be a tough 1-12 game for them at best. Dogs don't have the attack to blow us...
Ciraldo has gotten everything he wanted from uncle phil. Webby made coach of the year with essentially a team that finished 15th the year before. There really isn't a comparison on who the better coach is.
