It was acutely embarrassing watching Jim Dymock do his half time interview. Heard that word completion somewhere in there. He looked mighty unhappy and at a real loss for words.
83% possession, 2% positive use ( Jackson try)
Exactly what we thought at the ground.
At that stage of the game we were lucky it was only two. Normally supercoach puts the bloke he replaced 15 minutes earlier back on and only burns one fresh bloke come part way through the second half.
No that is the one they call the prowler, the one that broke RCG back. Two players hold the tackled player upright and immobile then a third player comes in from the side or the back straight into the ribs. Graham lashes out, misses, yet Surgess lands one, two punches, our player on report their penalty. Seems fair to me.
Oh, but it got better later in the game. Some absolutely sh@t decisions after that one, but good old Tony will come out and back his men. Todd Greenberg and his holier than thou on field officials the Elliot Ness of the NRL.
Yes, you can run shoulder to shoulder but you cannot grab the jersey or the player to hold them back. Klein clearly mentioned penalty but bunker rules NO infringement by the Souths player. We end up with nothing when
Don't you mean the DES-lusional.
There is talk that he will be in trouble for that.
Was that Laurel and Hardy by chance?
Those calls were happening all second half. Even a guy sitting near us who has referred the game was scratching his head as to some of the decisions.
Where he is most every week, nowhere to be seen.
Jacko is the only player in our team who's capable of playing lock, the way that des has it. He's the only forward who can make 40 odd tackles and play 80 mins without looking like a shit **** at the end of the game.
I agree. Jackson is the only lock under these shit structures.
Yeh I agree.
He tells everyone he makes heaps of metres he just doesn't say it's against his own team.
This is something that I've advocated so strongly, and I think is the cause for a lot of our problems. First things first, we must accept that our halves aren't thurstons and this is by no means a defense of them . But.. Our forwards don't threaten the line , and they surrender in tackles !! They don't threaten to break the line. And that comes back down to running with intent and getting deeper (which we don't do because of our style of flat attack). Not to mention there are no decoys or second phase runners.
They r resting, on the field.
Newtown!!
