Post Match [NRL 2023, Round 27] Dolphins Vs Warriors

[Beastmode]

I wish the old forum was available so we can all see who called for resting players and now complain about the performance - guys you can’t have it both ways

I was for resting players and also expected us to get towelled today - doesn’t mean I’m not gonna be pissed when it happens..

I have zero problems putting my hand up for anything

Roache was mainly defence and service from dummy half. It will be good having another dummy half option with Egan prone to head knocks.

This cannot be understated.

We have one injury prone hooker (who is all class).. Thats risky asf

Eels have the bye points to come

 

[Bruce]

The only management issue i see is not starting Roache.

Unless there is more to it than meets the eye.

I thought he came on at the end

 

[Bruce]

Do you reckon he has it in him to be a good one

Hookers don't hook any more. they are a dummy half, which is really important.

Check it again

They already have it

Yes losing is never great.

If we were to pull of a miracle and win this thing I don't think it would be off the back of a long winning streak. We were on a 7 game run.

You learn more off a loss. Also a good chance to wake the guys up a bit. Hopefully we get close to the form around the run we had in the Dolphins, Raiders, Dragons games. The points would be tough to emulate. More the resiliency and coming home strong in the second half.

Yeah, but considering our lack of stocks, and Lussicks averageness, I would have thought starting Roache would be a good evaluation.

Not too many positives there for me. I thought TMM looked slow on defence and took the wrong options a few times in ace position. Hopefully he better for the run.

WAY too many times we let them offload the ball, and hung back on attackers running sideways (Nikorima, tackle the fucker). I thought Volkman, Sironen and Niuokre were disappointing. Way too many penalties and dropped balls, which isn't unusual the last month.

I don't think it changes much for next week, looks like Penrith which is going to be tough.

Very worried about how Penrith are going right now. I think I'm having a crisis of faith.

Their over-confidence and class is disgusting

It was a great season. We should be better next year with RTS and CHT in centres and Kosi on other wing. This year we hit our peak around when we thrashed Cronulla. Proud of our consistency. But can't see us winning a finals game. Our attack is limited. That's my brutally honest appraisal.

 

[Bruce]

Freddy Lussick was rock solid on D and scored a brilliant try, him and Volks were a good package deal from the chooks, I thought Freddy was free bonus prize but he's going to be a regular NRL starter when he grows up.

Yes I left him off my stats, which was seriously bad. He is a good player and had a very good game apart from is try.

Hands up if you are volunteering for gimp duty, sorry but we haven't had time to clean it after the last blokes turn.

 

[Horriors2013]

Was impressed with Going tonight. He could take Sironens role on the bench in ‘24, coming in on the edge, filling in at hooker when needed.

At this stage I think Chanel is going to remain a five eighth, and fight it out with Metcalf for the back up spot (and win), rather than be groomed into a Walker-type

CHT hasn't played for a year.

 

[Bruce]

Problem is he’s an average hooker.

You mean at passing?

 

[Bippidydoodah]

Curran was all heart tonight, how can you not love the guy

WTF....they usually don't do it till Monday morning.

CHT is depth signing. We have better options at centre next year. We wont beat Penrith but i reckon we will win our second chance play off game at home.
