Post Match Rabbitohs v Warriors - [Round 5, 2024]

[Worried2Death]

This is great. CNK makes a break and he has a Warrior to the left of him and a Warrior to the right of him. You could make a song out of that.

Clowns to the left of him, jokers to the right, straight through the middle with you

 

[BangBro's (still banging)]

Would like Nathan brown to go to Souths for the rebuild.

 

[Worried2Death]

Latrell to the left of him, Walker to his right, straight through the middle with you's

Well remember those days and some of the heated debates lol......think u were one of the few voices of reason pointing out such things.

The concept of a bomb coming down 5 metres out (not too mention how hard that actually is to repeatedly do) forcing a team to work off their own goal line was just lost on most........altho the seasons he left when our kicking was shit mightve started the mindshift.

I was saying the same thing to the people I was with. I am a coach…. Albeit a football coach. I know SJ would have been told to kick that way due to the repetitive nature of it - if not - he would have been hooked. It was the chasers that didn’t put the required pressure on and then the team strategically/fitness/nous/commitment to dig in and keep them pegged in their 10-20m for as many tackles as possible. I also pointed out that it was what Penrith did a lot who were and are the best team in the comp.

 

[Warriorsitsouryear]

The only time I lost my shit at him was when he dropped the ball on souths line. Instead of diving on the ball, he kicked it dead in frustration giving them a 7 tackle set.

Other than that, he brings energy when he comes in.....especially on defence

I wasn’t enjoying the drop balls either. But he is our player and he bleeds Warriors. Matt Bowen said something recently that he was let go too early and two years later the Cowboys won the comp. He still struggles with that. I’m sure we would all want to win the comp with Jazz - trust me - he will never be the weakest member of the squad! My fave players are SJ (special player and often bagged), Ford (effort player and often bagged), RTS (self explanatory), Charnze (has had to battle to get where he is - you could tell last year that he was the fullback we always needed) ….Actually I honestly like our whole team. And who ever plays….I rest easy to know that no one knows the team and the week they have had than Webby - I trust his choices.

Egan says, “Only fools rush through”
“But I can’t help, setting up tries for you”.

Good ol Slater calling premiership potential with this team.

Let’s not let him down, eh lads?

 

[run_it_str8_again]

Ok it's Monday and while I'm still having the odd this is such a good win giggle and grin.....

I'd like to see it done to the contenders who we know are benchmark panthers. Fast Broncos. Strangulating Penrith etc

Agreed on waiting for a win over the Broncos or Panthers. I would put the Storm in there too, but I think we have their number and are going rip them a new one next time up at Mt Smart.
The signs are there that we are building into something better than last year.
We all (well most) knew Roger was going to take us up a gear, but what we really needed was to see our spine start to click before round six.

We have a spine now that can construct trys without using the rest of the team in some rehearsed set play.

So that is new and exciting. SJ is scoring Trys again, just by using his brain and following the ball on his old man legs and strolling in.

We need now for the Right edge to put Dallin away in our half of the field, he has the pace to go the length, he should be the target for a long range counter attack.

But before that step, we need the left edge to click and to see Montoya being put in the corner relatively unopposed thanks to the work of TMM and Roger.

Put those pieces together, you have a very hard to stop team that can run down a lead in a championship game and bounce back from a rough start against the big boys.

Ive replayed it too and seeing it in the context of how much time Egan seems to have is quite admirable. I've been slow to sing his praises because of his propensity to get injured but to join the throngs of knew it alls, Egan is awesome. Egan is awesome combined with SJ CNK and TMM. What's Egan's middle name or can his mother get divorced and remarried to a new bloke whose surname begins with W, E or O B so Egan and become something like WWE, WEE, WOE or WBE. Then the triple initial spine will be unstoppable.

It's a phenomenal play - CNK is on the other side when the ball is played! That's the trickery.

Egan has two options, short ball to Tohu or longer ball SJ - The long ball is probably on which Souths defence are aware off, coming up to shut down the spread




Egan dummies long before popping short to CNK who has appeared from the other side, receiving the ball in space and virtually in line with the enitre Souths defensive line.



All of this deception from Egan has caused indecision in the middle and CNK needs only a half decent fend to break through some feeble defence. In 3 paces there is only Lattrell Mitchell between CNK and the try line



CNK shows all of the skills of a quality ball player, looks left immediately, looks right, looks left again before engaging Mitchell at speed, executing a perfect pass which at speed is much more difficult than he made it look



This one move had 7 different options that could have been taken - clinical set play move from a well drilled team.

I held off commenting so as not to post something that was over the top optimistic, but that was one of the most enjoyable games I’ve seen in a while.

Egan, CNK, TMM and SJ is by far and away our best spine, and I’m a Metcalfe fan.

Egan’s best game for us yet and there’s been a few. I’ve watched that dummy to Tohu line break assist play 100 times - it’s rugby league poetry.

Nailing Souths to the floor,
by 30pts and having the equal best defensive numbers (without a bye) will just about do me…..

But I shall wait for Bluey’s round before getting excited…

random thoughts watching a replay:

- too many errors from Jazz, maybe his best days are behind him?

- why didn't Latrell get 10 minutes in the bin after his second offence?

because hes not a warrior lol

 

[Defence]

This is great. CNK makes a break and he has a Warrior to the left of him and a Warrior to the right of him. You could make a song out of that.

bro

Makasene​

I was just now freeze framing it, lol
It was pure genius at the right time from a PLAN

if you back off of the ruck you allow attack

Kids poetry on Monday lol

On Saturday I watched Charnz return to the team
Mr Egan passed to him
Charnz ran and had Mr Martin on the left of him
Charnz looked and saw Mr Johnson on the right of him
They lived happily ever after while dad shouts up the Wahs!

Awesome analysis of that move. All that traffic of Warriors in the play the ball zone (Egan SJ CNK TMM Tohu and Bunty) almost make it look like a disorganised set of six and to me if hides CNK's impending injection.

Egan's long dummy to SJ then the lean left made it look to me he would instead hit Tohu but then the way it popped to CNK was [insert awesome descriptive words here]

And you need the right players too, Taine would have chopped down, Ford would have taken the tackle, but Charnz fended easily and passed correctly, awesome to see their awareness too, he knew Mitchell was gonna try intercept so that looked a pretty mid to early pass to SJ, later TMM could have run around Mitchell lol

Ya can’t wait to see what TMM/Ford/RTS/Monty combo looks like, if they suss it out they should practice those Raiders type last ditch long range play with 15 players running decoy lol

I do remember they had those small inter-plays early in the season but seemed to have tucked away quickly

Good to see some offloads too although some were way too low, but variety of attack seem to be introduced this year

 

[j_p]

Yep, needs to change to the old Rugby League Week system.

Every player rated out of 10. Most points is player of the year

Said a similar thing in the dally m thread. Doesn't even have to be every player. Just rate the top 3 players from each team out of 10.

 

[j_p]

Sorry if already posted or its in the wrong place.
Lussick looking at 6-8 weeks.
Absolute bs imo, and still pissed about the other player not getting charged at all last year when tmm broke his leg.
