Official Team List Round 21 v Cowboys + Match Discussion

[B-Train]

He was fine, least of our issues.

He's not involved enough in attack. He's dropped numerous uncontested high balls the last few weeks. Covid wouldn't help.. But he needs to bounce back these last four games to prove he's the fullback for next year.

 

[CrittaMagic69]

TPJ to take Vaughan’s spot next year as starting prop and as the tackle one hit-up prop. None of this ball playing before the line by him. He just needs a simple job of running hard and as straight as he can.

Still need 2 or 3 really strong forwards. We were outmuscled today. Cowboys also a lot fitter. Just too big and too strong for us in the forwards.

Just trade TPJ for a reliable prop.

 

[DinkumDog]

Oh get a grip Dinkum. Sometime a Bulldog just has to vent. Undo your emotionally sensible belt and have a whinge and a bleat like the rest of us.

Im no idiot and realise there are plenty of factors that contributed to our loss, the poor use of TPJ, the shit attitude of TPJ, Averillo not chasing the ball and supporting like he has been, Burton not kicking on early tackles when we are trapped in our 30, JMK pass selection, etc etc

But, the ref is a caaant and we wos robbed!!!!

You on the cans Baz?
If not maybe you should be.
I’m feeling no pain .

Never said you were an idiot and don’t think that.
But I’m not going to call cheating when it’s clear other factors were at play, most of which you’ve called out - TPJ was garbage, Burto mistakes like kicking out on the full, general poor field position in a number of sets and others not on their game in general.

We weren’t robbed. We weren’t good enough.

Totally dominated in the forwards.

 

[Malla]

We need either Kiraz in the centres and a decent winger or a strike and still tough centre.

Reckon we should give Skelton a crack at the right centre before we move Kiraz

 

[Big Vibe]

Look at the possession stats bro

We had 45%

That’s not little enough to excuse not a single player running beyond 100m

He literally had a try assist last week and setup another line break. Chimed in with a couple of nice flick ons today also. He didn't doing much in attack because we're constantly defending, not like he's standing out the back doing nothing the entire time.

 

[The DoggFather]

Flat

Well inflate the **** ASAP. We've seen what he can do and we need it badly.

 

[DinkumDog]

Ball carrying arm hit the ground then promoted for the touch down when tackle was completed with tacklers on him. Text book double movement.

I’ve seen worse examples.
The bigger shock for me was Leilua working .

 

[Gene Krupa]

This is why I couldn't give a shit if TPJ goes, no where near consistent enough to deserve the coin he's on.

And people were wondering why the Broncos were desperate to get rid of him

 

[DinkumDog]

The ball was stopped. He was on his back, ball carrying arm hit the floor, momentum stopped and he moved his arms forward and planted the ball down. If he didn’t move his arms, he wouldn’t of scored. Ball was stopped, player held.

The referee disagreed.
Guess that makes him a cheat.
We weren’t winning by that stage anyway.

I always said I wanted him but I never agreed with what we paid for him, massive overs. Hopefully Wayne is sniffing around.

I knew he would go good in a good team. Felt sorry for him at the tigpies

We were up by 2 weren't we?

Surely we could get three decent quality props with TPJ and Thompson's money

Kiraz is our best centre, no contest imo. I'd have not him and Skeleton there next season.

Not everyone lol

 

[Howie B]

I actually don’t mind losses like this. We competed against a good side but our weaknesses were pretty clearly exposed.

The main one being that Burton is pretty much a one man team. Against good opposition he is our only threat. The 1, 7 and 9 didn’t offer much today. They go ok against ordinary teams but they don’t threaten the top teams. On the other hand all 4 of the cowboys spine are genuine options in attack.

Na not three haha but yh, definitely get someone a lot more reliable.
