Rd 23 vs Eels - 3-2-1

[Matthew G]

Nobody mentioning RFM here, runs well but defensively inept, sick of seeing them hit that short ball between him and burto and him not moving across quick enough to get his man

Has he officially signed and announced by us?

Middle or nothing, at best, even though I love the bloke as a person.

Nope, but the West Tigers deal fell through and Sharks stated he isn't in their plans. Most likely means we signed him and a club presentation last month said goodbyes to him for 2023.

He's not an edge player, he bombs tries on the edges and ends next to the sideline. Number 13 for sure.

I know I'm angry still but have we got any legit edge forwards?

 

[Flanagun]

well - the stats (per run) suggest the forwards weren't the problem (right Dogs).

Bro they killed us in terms of metres, PCM and tackle busts (which attract more defenders and create space for halves and edgies. Also while the offload count is equal, their offlosds were a lot more efficient and effective today.

I thought letting Adam Eillot was great but he's turned into a beast 13. Him and Jack Hetherington still are going to Newcastle on long-term deals so that means they will fail there and we will get the last laugh.

If you're going to argue against stats - its not an argument - its a conspiracy

I’m not arguing against stats though bro… almost double the tackle busts, more metres snd PCM… the stats have my back… lol

 

[UmoGus]

They can all fuck off. Were parading around the ground after the game like they didn't just get smoked.

2.6 PCM vs 2.4 PCM per run. And the tackle busts all happened off the halves.

This is just like the CVD thread - wackos making shit up.

Riiiiiight. All those tackle busts came from their halves. Put down the bong, Doogs.

LB's 10 - 4 right? U know that six of the 10 were in the backs right? Blake and Sivo had 4 between them - but you know that right? And funnily enough - they got the space to have those LB's through - the halves.

Dude - accept it. CVD is real, Flanno is shit and I'm not putting my bong down.

Was our only forward doing a hit up after kick off reception to hit the onrushing defence and send them backwards. Did that a couple more times midfield. He hasn't lost his love of the contact.

Playing him wrong for majority of the game and his time here.

But I guess we couldn't organise anything much anyway, tactics wise.

There's no Lane's or Papalii's here matey

I think he is more suited as a middle now, smaller minutes. Lacks the speed/ agility to defend on the edge.

Maybe go back and check the video and see who was in the line and who wasn't? And if you're playing inside/out defence - fair play. But I believe we play outside/in.

Burton created the hole - RFM couldn't cover it.
