Re: 2024 Round 3 v Warriors: Game Day
A go to guy to kick it out on the full or throw it over the sideline? Please! This team is so much better without Jack in it. No I agree, my point was we just don’t have a go to guy. If he throws it to the crowd or puts on a try this team went to Wighton. We need someone to go to in the big moments...

Re: 2024 Round 3 v Warriors: Game Day
First sign that we don’t have Wighton. In the big minutes we no longer have a go to guy. Fogarty isn’t a big play man, Strange is excellent but 4 games in. Rapana is outstanding but he’s not Reece Walsh. The decline of Nick Cotric is quite something to behold. In his first couple of years he hardly ...

Re: 2024 Round 3 v Warriors: Game Day
Gosh Strange is giving up his outside shoulder nearly every time. Young man needs to stop turning in ASAP.
Fogarty needs to hit Timoko early more often, guy is dynamite but needs more quality ball. Excellent game played by two teams really knuckling down. Good quality stuff.

Great final’s game. In the context of the season we played really well, I think we put in a performance we can be happy enough with given our squad.

It’s a shame we didn’t play this well more often this season. Playing Frawley was a significant error in judgement from coaching staff. You just can’t play a guy that slow in 2023 NRL, especially against a guy who plays as quick as Reece Walsh. That weak link cost too many points tonight.

Odd decision by coach to rest him a week but a 15 year, 300 game career is an outstanding contribution to the jumper. It’s easy to forget or overlook how good he was.

Re: Jordan Rapana re-signs with Green Machine to end 2023
Awesome news. With Croker on the decline we have nothing but rookies in the backs CNK aside. Rapana been our best all year and it’s not even close. If our whole team played with as much spirit as him we’d have qualified for the finals already.

Re: 2021 Rd 15 V Dragons: Game Day
Wighton has been overwhelmingly average this year. Ben Hunt just took a dump on our halves, illustrated how to play with the wind.
Sam Williams can do a job but we really need Wighton to be lighting it up and he isn’t. It is a concern. He didn’t even look like taking control of the game tonight.

Harsh on Rapana in here, he is being asked to finish some plays that aren’t really on. Other than his knock on been good, plenty of carries whereas Croker, Scott, Simonsson offering very little in yardage runs.
We are very, very impatient in offence.

Lots of information for Ricky watching that game. If he is on the job he can see a few holes in our team. Simonsson is pretty ineffective, I think we need a more robust runner to help out given that Croker isn’t a yardage guy. We don’t have enough punch coming out of our own end. Rapana is good but ...

Rapana isn’t THAT slow. He’s obviously on the decline but speed wasn’t the issue in the final play, he got there with enough time.
