Of course they were because they were always on the ball... But that's the problem, they shouldn't be on the ball all the timeRFM and Elliot were by far our best forwards
Block play block play, drop off to a second rower......boring and SLOW.It's more a structural issue with this side than a problem with the individual. We don't play anywhere near direct enough while the spine spends far too much time getting the ball out the back instead of being in and around the ruck at first receiver and playing direct with options around them.
At the end of the day our systems were poor to begin with and with the rule change they're even more of an issue, unfortunately we simply can't change it up overnight.
I can see him being pushed into the team ASAP. He has been training. If it means Napa is left out of the team. That might be best. Napa if he gets upset can ask for a release and play elsewhere.is thompson theoretically cleared to play next week? even just off the bench would be great
He is just stepping up into Tolman's role while he's missing #payoutHe can still show this effort and passion whilst playing off his halves... Just over our structure where it sees him being our main point of attack... They guy is relentless and doesn't know when to pull back. I like the guy but Dean gives him too much pull in the way we play.
Round 9 he is availableI can see him being pushed into the team ASAP. He has been training. If it means Napa is left out of the team. That might be best. Napa if he gets upset can ask for a release and play elsewhere.
Well round 8...depends if they want to get a week of training under his belt with the squad.Round 9 he is available
That's what happens on any struggling team in any sport. Especially teams that have no leadership, game plan or direction...Every player tries to do it themselves or to boost their stats/get a new deal and players often don't pass to teammates in better positions.I know Elliot set up a try ... But fuck me these 2 c*** stifled every single left edge shift we made, always getting in the fucking way thinking they are the main option or playmaker. Absolutely sick of seeing our forwards dictate play. Averillo should have seen way more ball tonight.
Jackson has the same issues aswell but I won't get into that now.
Sorry, I totally disagree. They were our two best forwards in my opinion. Elliot created more then any other player on the field, and RFM was tireless. I honestly didn't think his motor was this big.
If RFM gets too much ball on the left edge it's hardly his fault!
I need some positivity, hit me with some good newsThat was RFMs best possible game last night and it is not enough with the team we currently have. I actually thought that was his best game since joining us.
Adam Elliot tried his guts out as usual, somethings work some don't but I assure all you Elliot knockers out there he luvs this club and is busting his kegs everything he goes on the field unlike a few others who are currently speaking with other clubs re their futures.
Our team will be very very different next year i expect and Deanno won't be the coach but some of the comments on this side re players and the coach really are appalling.
We are all entitled to our opinion rightly or wrongly but to suggest some of the things I read are incredible and frankly ill informed dribble but again we are all entitled to an opinion...Opinions are like arseholes, everyone has one
I'm sure every person who types a message on this site wants the best for the club
Not what the mole thought eh quoteAgree, Foran was very hesitant tonight imo... We played without a spine tbh
The Mole should stick to making up rumours because Foran was MIA last night. If he stood up we would have won that game.Not what the mole thought eh quote
But in the four rounds since the enforced COVID break, Foran has looked keen and hungry again and has regained his mojo.
He almost inspired the Bulldogs to an upset win over the Sharks last night and was the Bulldogs' most dangerous player in attack.
It's pretty sad isn't it. I get people's frustrations, but I think the boys were pretty decent last night. They can hold their heads high. We almost snatched the win too.That was RFMs best possible game last night and it is not enough with the team we currently have. I actually thought that was his best game since joining us.
