Re: 2024 Round 9: Teams and Game Day

We’ll have to watch the Bulldogs wrestle. They’ve really slowed down the ruck with a lot of work around the arms and the ball.

Yep she let Bulldogs get away with a lot over the last 20 minutes that has frustrated the Tigers into losing the plot.

That late tackle by Crichton on Sezer when he was held in the tackle was ridiculous.

2024 Round 9 v Sea Eagles: Game Day

Actually well highlighted, Brooks was a bit off tonight. He’s been very up and down this season.

He’s a good player when his team is on the front foot, but seems to struggle when his team is under the pump.

Whitehead 3. Easiest call of the season. 1 Cotric, Weekes and Kris. Mooney very good. Lots of good moments for others too.

Correct me if I’m wrong, put Tapine’s missed tackle on Hazelton was downright hideous.

Tapine’s missed tackle l...

3 Timoko
1 each Savage. Schiller. Paps.


But outside Timoko I really struggled to award points.

Unfortunately live at the ground I thought Stewart badly positioned himself in both attack and defence. But that will improve.

Geez we have some weak passers in the team.

Re: Eels half Ethan Sanders agrees to terms with Raiders for three year deal from 2025

Not the best defence from Sanders there. But you can’t expect much more from a young defender than the Laurie Daley or Jack Wighton style of young defender.
