Official Round 9 v Raiders Match Discussion

[Donkey Slayer]

How the fuck do we have that cumstain again there trying to finish the job they failed last week

 

[Donkey Slayer]

Starling seems to always have good games against us.

Will pump him

 

[Dogtime]

If jackson stops ball playing we will actually play better.. we'll find out this week

We got a win without King or TPJ ball playing instead of Jackson. To my way of thinking, lets get the ball in the hands of Flano and Burto more and let THEM ball play rather than Jackson. Lets keep on the road of trying to develop our own style, with Flano and Burto the conductors, rather than trying (badly) to emulate Penrith. Jackson is no Yeo. For Jackson it's simple....run hard tackle hard. There's your instructions.

 

[wendog33]

Does he? How many games and minutes has he played against us?

Did I exaggerate?

 

[Como Dog]

why is adam idiot named at 9 for the raiders?

Well if he can play with a hookers fiance he probably thinks he can play hooker as well.

 

[James zac]

I just want jacko to keep his hands off the ball

Why are people saying we need to prepare for croker. We should be planning to attack him all game not plan to defend his game. JAC and Averillo against Croker( slow) and Cotric (slower than both). Hope tbaz realises this strengthened matchup we have and exploits it.

 

[Stinger]

I don’t mind Cummins reffing cos technically we won both our games under him and lost the other by single point

[emoji23]

Yeah agree. I was surprised in the game against the chooks that Cummins didn’t belt us into submission with six agains, didn’t over penalise us and didn’t send JMK to the bin. Or am I just imagining this?

 

[doggy bill]

Not sure why anyone would change a winning team. Naden sulking on the wing is a stupid decision.

I don’t think everyone is saying that mate. Personally I reckon he was done as an NRL centre 2 years ago.

The only concern is that he had similar stem cell surgery to Trent Hodkinson in the off season. If he comes back as fast as Hodko then we could be in big trouble …

 

[Woofwoof1980]

Jackson will stifle our attack and put pressure on us again. Dropped balls aplenty and no service to our outside backs with bias reffing against us.... I have never wanted to be so wrong.

 

[Ant2611]

Unbelievable we get Cummins AGAIN! We never won a game last year when he ref'd us and while we have won 2 games this year with him as ref they should've won those games a LOT easier than they did as Cummins once again gave more than a few very questionable decisions against us in both games.

Great effort from the boys to overcome those decisions and gain the win(s) as he does his best to get us beaten every time he is the ref.

He won't have moments of weaknesses this week. He will make amends for the 2 games he gave us.

 

[Mitch Connor]

Lol people complaining about not winning under Cummins.

*****, we barely win under any ref.

 

[speedy2460]

Jackson is not the problem we have. As long as he is not first receiver.
The bigger problem is the lack of defence in the centre. Schoup is Ok, the other guy is not.
Other teams are bulking up their centre positions with defensive and attacking players.
It is surely the way we have to go.

Croker is a target when we have the ball. Very average defender. TPJ, Avo and Nader on that side.

 

[Papa Joe]

We’ve got to dominate the forwards and give Croker hell - hope Shouppe is on his side

Crocker is on the opposite side, he plays as a left centre- normally outside Wighton.

Even though he's not that tall, he has an uncanny knack of catching cross feild kicks to score. Averillo and Flanagan will need to be onto this.

We've made him look good in the past and he will be primed for a return to fg but yes he needs to be targetted.

Crucial we progress with our promising efforts of last week
