The 14m gain set and Burton's 70m punt sums up this game.

The go forward is in shambles tonight.

 

[CrittaMagic69]

But I wonder why though, as it was pre determined before they even got out there.

He's coming back from a thigh issue

Hutch plays like a geriatric but appears to be the new favourite eg Perham

 

[CaptainJackson]

Wilson in reserves, hutch released tonight.

CC said hutch has impressed him the most in pre season

So wait 17 weeks for CC to change him

 

[Powerslide]

Yeah I know it was planned I just hope it wasn’t planned because he picked up an injury in the indigenous game

what from bending the elbow too much?

 

[CroydonDog]

Shut up nable

I'm trying to work out how he gets these gigs.

He must thank his lucky stars every night.

 

[ElMagicElMasri]

JMK

Where are you?

Are you okay?

I miss you

 

[King Gus]

I was thinking the same. But Hutches experience helps and Wilson is running the ball well

Hutch needs to straighten the attack it’s clunky

 

[flamebouyant]

We were terrible with ball in hand that first half, but I was happy with our defense.

 

[UmoGus]

Anyone find it strange they focus so heavy on the gambling side of Vegas trip knowing so many kids watch this sport

Expected nothing less

 

[Bad Billy]

I’m off Hutchison, and Wilson has been disappointing. Usually he’s evasive and safe today he’s beaten no one and dropped the ball 3 times.

 

[Menteek]

That's the problem with this place, you call out obvious truths anx you get called a "hater".

bro I reckon they will come second half a bit more focused. Remember we do need like 1-3 games with the starting side… the team need to naturally think how their team mates play and it will click. However I’m happy with our defense.. we would have been down 20-6. We haven’t seen Ronaldo or Katoa ripping us. We haven’t seen a line break. We have broken the line a few times. I’m liking what I’m seeing butttttt we need more ooooofff going forward. If we can get that clicking then yes it will give Hutchinson more time to draw defenders. But right now, Burton and Hutchinson don’t have that time.. if we can get more direct forward and pressure off the halves I think we can shake the competition

Hutch needs to straighten the attack it’s clunky

having two left footed players in the halves rarely works

 

[The DoggFather]

Great, Wilson still on

 

[CaptainJackson]

By the way, how good has eli Clark been since he came on

 

[Trinfly]

Sexy to change direction to xerri and jac

 

[The DoggFather]

Taffee off now

 

[spscand]

Can Matt Nable emphasise the word gambling anymore? Like we get it, sport in Australia is only a thing because its so linked to gambling. Its literally sponsored by gambling sites.

Coming from Lebanon into Australia sport really lost a big part of what it meant for me. It was all about passion and love back home. Its kinda still is here for select people, but the gambling addiction and "shove it down your throat at every chance" exposure is just fucked. Bit off topic but it always pisses me off how its ruined the purity.

 

[GoTheDoggies]

would even consider Turpin at 9 for round 1 at this rate if Reed keeps playing like he did in the 1st half

I think we have to run with someone capable of covering 9. He should have been spelled in that last 10 or 15mins of high intensity games. His passing was a disaster.

Until we get a dominant front row it will be hard for him to keep fresh during the game. Probably the reason why C. Smith was able to prolong his career. Storm hardly ever got rolled through the middle.
