Fualalo makes some good carries buts drops the ball way to much.Honestly it’s our bench. Fine playing prop and Holland coming in for 5 mins is quite bizarre. Eastwood and Fualalo deserves their spots. My bench would be as follows.
Martin/Tualau
Brown
Eastwood
Fualao
You have no clue.No offence but just because you were there doesn't make you more of an authority.
I went to the Good Friday game couldn't see shit tbh.. Had to rely on the tele.
But I don't understand how you don't understand that if the conditions are wet there would be a different game plan which involves forward heavy, up the middle using our big pack to flop over the line crushing defenders under us like yesterday's garbage and using our wingers less to avoid sliding over the sides , slipping or wet ball handling errors
It was a woeful game.I couldn't believe what I saw, it was fucken awsome, so close.
You must be joking. That game was woeful. We had nothing in attack. 60% of the ball. Kicking game was crap. Big forwards tucking the ball under the arm with no imagination. Liccha, Elliott, Faulolo and Montoya not first grade. JMK not a 5/8. Thanks Des and Noel.Most of these threads are laughable.
I admit I spent a lot of last night's game swearing at the TV and getting frustrated with the lack of creativity and execution in attack.
But to be honest, attack can come later, I am more concerned about general attitude and effort and particularly attitude and effort in defence. Last night (with the exception of Hopoate's attempt on Mitchell in the first half) our defense and overall effort levels were huge.
You teeny bopper fans need to get your head out of your asses and realise that we are not the 2004 side and Hasler has put us in a position where we are having to rebuild.
To produce such a great defensive effort last night was fantastic.
Were you pissed. Rubbish performance. Liccha stifled attack. You are easily pleased if you thought the rubbish dished up both sides was good.Feel free to take your pumpkins off and put your heads on any time you like. Seriously. That was a ferocious game of footy. I was there too like I always am and there was plenty to like about the game. It is clear Pay had a plan of attacking their middle and he did it like a german panzer division. The shame of it was that the Americans turned up instead of the French like they usually do. The rorters didn't just drop the ball cold. It got knocked out of them by our D. Same for us.
When we went wide their rushing on line defence caught our centres before we could get the ball out. It's all good and well to say we should have put some kicks in behind the line but 2 or 3 of the ones we did were blocked by the opp feet and we turned over possession. Even Gus said that the chooks are the best in the comp at blocking those kicks.
We went within a couple of inches of scoring maybe 4 or 5 times. Yes we are still a work in progress with our attacking options but everyone has been crying for someone to support Foran and last night JMK did that taking more than a few runs and doing more of the kicking.
Mbye ran for nearly 200m, kicked well and positioned himself to receive the ball. Yes it was slippery out there. It always is due to the surface. A number of players lost their footing. That's ANZ at night and if you went there regularly then you would know that.
I was impressed with most of the players out there tonight. Fine looks like he is going to be a real force by the end of the year, JMK showed a bit in offence to go with his rock solid defence. Even Holland impressed when he came on and a couple of his runs from DH were quite strong.
Overall, I thought it was a big improvement on last week when we won, in most regards and if we keep building we will be in the 8.
Hello trollYou have no clue.
Man you need to get to bulldogs HQ asap! Quick! we play the panthers next week! Get in there and show them the tactics of how it’s done bro. We need a coach like you, just tell them where to run and what they are doing wrong with all your sporting and rugby league experienceWere you pissed. Rubbish performance. Liccha stifled attack. You are easily pleased if you thought the rubbish dished up both sides was good.
A lot of food for thought in what you say......I guess I was happy in that we did not get smashed, but felt that we should have had a contingency plan in play to counter the fact that what we did time and time again was not working. I know that sitting up in the stands you can get a better idea of the way the game is playing out on field but then I think , so should have coach. It is really frustrating when you know we have superior possession in good field position and we don't do anything with it. We seem to be lost within the twenty metre area, much like the last few years. We can get there with some good running footy but once we are there well we just seem to be devoid of ideas. There is that frustration again.....Ouch....You know I only had about a 30 min drive and I left happy with the effort, although annoyed at the result. I genuinely think games like that can be the platform for a good season. As long as we didn't get any injuries from the game and they continue to play with that level of energy we will be OK. I haven't seen two teams that shot after the fulltime hooter since an origin war years ago. Every player on the field was on their haunches. Both sides gave it everything...
So true. Some of the usual suspects on here seem to forget that Roosters are close to being the favourite for the competition.Settle the fuck down, pay has walked into a mess, games are built on defence and that’s where we are progressing really good, attack will come, I understand frustration but ffs have some fucking patience.
Losing hurts but carrying on like a spoilt brat everytime we lose gets a bit much
I agree totally mate. We had a great game defensively and it was only one shit time in the whole game that lead to the Mitchell try but we defended super well. I think we just need to work on attack but that can come once pay does settle in with a team he has chosen instead of the chaos Hasler left himSettle the fuck down, pay has walked into a mess, games are built on defence and that’s where we are progressing really good, attack will come, I understand frustration but ffs have some fucking patience.

I thought the same as well but it is early. was a tough defensive game is all next game we meet them we will winThe team is lacking a technician/tactical coach.
What stood out for me is in the opposition 20 there was no bodies in motion, Mbye not coming in with pace on the ball, , no smarts, no creativity.
What do they do at training?
