Watched the replay again this morning on Fox. I loved hearing Mick Ennis passion for the win! He is turning into a real Raider now! How funny was it when Mick Ennis turned to Big Mal and said " Yeah the Viking Clap is Awesome, ive done it" refering to the 2016 Sharks final :roflmao I loved him hugg...

What a **** player. **** I love him. He WILL go down as our greatest ever forward once he's done And that pretty much sums up the end. What a ride and we are in this up to our armpits. We'll be even better next year as well. Let's not get ahead of ourselves :lol: We all remember 2017. Haha true but...

Bateman and Whitehead unlucky. Minus the sin bin Wighton had a big game too.

Not sure about Simmonsen on the bench tonight. I was excited to see him in the utility role but seems he was just there as cover for BJ. With a couple of backrowers capable of covering centres maybe we’d go better with another forward on the bench? You really can't come to any conclusions on utilit...

zim

One other thing to mention is the Hodgson run around with his forwards. We tried that a lot last year and it really didn't seem to produce results with our focus (Paulo/boyd) and our targets. Seems like we have all the time in the world to run it this year with Horsburgh and Lui. What's happened? Do...

Ugh Give it Wighton That had good shape and depth It felt like he was regularly 5m too far wide this game. We need a variation where Whitehead provides an angled option starting his run where Croker is and cutting back in. Then Wighton can drift and there's threats everywhere. Short, wide, cut out,...

It was at this point that I'd thought I'd finally given myself a stroke. But I continued to power through.

We can still take a lot from this game. What we do now will tell us a lot about this team. Do we lie down or make this closer? I'm still reading through the match day thread but it's a real curiosity how positive and focussed you are in these threads compared to other posters (and myself) and then ...

This Turpin is a dirty little player isn’t he?

He's been doing that kind of stuff for weeks and just a whisker away from something worse. Finally got his timing wrong when he went to the bin.

I like that Simmo has been rewarded with a spot in the 17, but Im not convinced the saftey 1st bench isnt the way to go. Havili, Simmo, Lui/ Horsburgh, Sutton.

Interesting. At the moment I think any bench with Havili on it is also just a safety option.

zim

I thought about that but he's just so bad at centre though. Makes bad defensive decisions. Finds it hard to make an impact against other players of the same speed when he's playing 80 too.
He'd need to do a 180 for me to pick him as my 80min centre.

All reasonably good points Pat, however on the Tedesco thing, I think many of us were simply saying he was the difference on the weekend, but that doesn't mean we can't beat them if he plays. BIG difference, in my opinion. Tedesco was the difference a few days ago, but we still could have won that ...

Peachey has decided he wants to stay now. No idea where I'd play him in my side.... Maybe utility. Try and work a deal with the Eels to get Peats there and sign a min wage replacement. Start Rein and have Peachey come on after 25mins. Sezer signing would be a no no. Their spine won't get any better ...

EW isn't already there at all. The replay shows him not being able to get across as fast as Croker who had already come in and then tried to cover. He is not covering that distance if he can't get there before Croker. Bailey Simo is still learning how to defend in structure. This isn't the first in...

zim

So you’re saying Croker needed to rely on his second rower coming around behind his half after he’s rushed out of the line to cover the gaping hole that was left and somehow this is Croker’s fault? Yeah, righto Under the 2019 structure EW was already there. If they were all meant to rush up when Ja...

Havili played four minutes on Sunday.

Yep. Don't see him in our full strength side. We have better middle forwards.

zim

A lot of people on here over the last few weeks have been blaming the inside man which is Wighton for Croker’s missed tackles and rushing out of the line so I’m going to put it out there is Jack Wighton the problem? Is Wighton turning into another Blake Austin in defence? Is Wighton a liability for...

zim

Our bench was fine in this game. It was all about our errors and pens. Once the interchanges happened we had a run of 5 roosters penalties with only one coming from a bench player and all the errors were from our 80min players.

I don't know what you guys expect Croker to do when his inside man screams out of the line and leaves a gaping hole. He has to jam in and follow Wighton!

It's laughable really. Once Wighton makes that call it's done. The only way something is saved there is by the roosters **** up.

We were good enough to win that. Created enough opportunities. Just a difference in execution in the end. Should have had a Tapine try. Should have had a Wighton try and in the key moments they just came up with what they needed.
Looking forward to Melbourne next week.

Croker has 2.5x the POTY points that Rapana has, despite only playing 19 games vs 15. So obviously Jordan Rapana sucks You know that’s a weak argument Piggy - you could apply the same rationale to say Simmonsen has equal points to Croker in less games and is therefore obviously a better player than...

Great post but I think you've rolled a few too many dices their Matt. That's a lot of rookies in your top 17 and the spine arguably hasn't improved for your 2021 finals tilt.
