It's strange... but it might be part of a deal for journalists to get greater access to the sheds after the games. We're seeing a lot more post match comments from a wider range of players. Plus the media now gets access to the post game victory songs... and some TV broadcasts come from the sheds post game. It's never really been explained.

You've completely missed my point.gangrenous wrote:Hmmm... if they share your attitude then no wonder we don’t learn from mistakes.Raider Azz wrote: Hopefully Corey pays no attention, and I'm sure Ricky and the senior players will tell him the same.
He had a shocker. He should be very focussed on fixing it if he likes playing first grade.
Yeah he didnt have the greatest game. But in my opinion it didn't deserve the time that was spent focusing on it in the 5 minute coverage of the match from one of the game's "legends". There were plenty of issues with individual efforts during the game. why pick on a 2 game rookie and spend all your time talking about one incident that wasn't why we lost?
What needs working out will be worked out at training. What Corey shouldn't pay attention to is Channel 9s garbage coverage.

Re: 2019 Rd 2 V Storm: Game Day
The tap on the head of the player making a mistake has been part of the game in all my years watching and I'm sure if a Parramatta player did it Sterlo would just put it down to gamesmanship. I didn't see the show but it's hardly worth mentioning when analysing a game.greeneyed wrote:The Sunday Footy Show is a pretty good show. I always watch Fox League in preference to Nine... but Fox League can be pretty boof head like these days themselves. Matty Johns, Fletch and Hindy, the "Professor"... they're all the biggest boof heads of rugby league magazine shows. Nine seems to have lost Beau Ryan (?) but they have brought in Sam Thaiday... so they are putting up a big challenge to reclaim the title for the biggest boof head in rugby league television today.PigRickman wrote: ↑March 24, 2019, 12:17 pm Don’t watch channel 9 and stunned by anyone who does
But let’s not pretend Horsburgh is a finished product above constructive criticism
If that’s what Sterling was delivering, fair enough.
We all like this kid and see a bright future but there no question he had a VERY poor game on the weekend
What Sterling highlighted was the Storm losing the ball... and Horsburgh actually ran in to give the Storm player a head/hair rub. And it caused a scrap. Not the best thing to do... and best not to repeat it... but given the show devoted five minutes to each game and spent a good minute of it on this issue in our case... it was a bit unfair. There was a lot of actual footy advice Sterling could have given the Raiders if he'd chosen to be analytical. It was an "easy" thing to highlight, and probably the least of our problems in that game.

As I say this he goes and scores a hat trick to win us the game!WiganRaider wrote: ↑March 23, 2019, 7:54 pm Watched the full game back this morning and Melbourne just seem to do the 1% better than most sides.
Few stupid individual errors really didn't help and the Storm got on the bavk of that.
Coming from a Wigan fan I honestly don't think George Williams is the answer, just take a look how were going so far this year. I've been to every game home and away so far this season and apart from his short kicking game and probably better defence I just don't think he is worth the price tag being talked about.
Re: 2019 Rd 2 V Storm: Game Day
Cheers mate.
From what i've seen of him, and it's not a heap, he has the skills and game to make it in the NRL. It will really come down to how he applies himself, and his mental strength.

As good as Rapana's tackle was, I think Maloney's was the best

Re: Aidan Sezer
Agree with this. Sezer sometimes a momentum killer in attack, but our attack is not an issue long term. Defensively we are a much better side than in 2018. Huge improvement.KingDynamite wrote: ↑March 23, 2019, 7:08 pm I cannot understand the calls for Hingano. I haven’t seen anything from him that says he’s more deserving that Sezer nor that he would do a better job.
Neither Hingano or Williams are in the same conversation as Sezer when it comes to defence. That’s enough for him to stay in 1sts
Based on our defence so far, I think we are a semi-final side with Sezer or WIlliams. I'd stick with Sezer and let the combinations develop for another month. If attack proves to be an issue (which I doubt), then make the switch.

Re: Aidan Sezer
Id say like every winger or fullback they spend a lot of time at training practicing catching the ball. It hasn't stopped Vunivalu's inconsistent efforts under the highball. There's a good month or 2 every season where he gets the yipps. He never stops attacking the ball though so when it's working for him it looks spectacular and when it's not he's a liability.RedRaider wrote: ↑March 24, 2019, 12:31 pmHe didn't seem to have too many problems against us Zim. The two I remember were: one from Sezer about the middle of the first half which he took easily and then one from Jack early in the second half which he again took easily. We have a large body who can jump high in Jack. Why wouldn't we put the ball up to the shorter fullback Hughes and have Jack challenge for the ball? If Vunivalu has had problems in the past I image the meticulous Bellamy would have worked with him to correct it.zim wrote: ↑March 23, 2019, 11:44 pmHe has known issues under the high ball. If he wasn't our main target for bombs we're doing the wrong thing.RedRaider wrote: ↑March 23, 2019, 11:24 pmI don't see what Sezer has done to justify the support for him. In his four years with the Titans they did not make the finals. He came here in 2016 and at the back end of that season the Raiders went on a 10 game winning streak to make the finals. We've not seen that replicated. Their was some unbelievable stuff from Leipana in that streak. I am one of the biggest defensophiles on here, but the defence is helped by a good kicking game and kick chase. We don't see that consistently from Sezer. In fact I am still amazed that we kicked to Vunivalu's wing so often (at least I was until he kicked the other way and put it into the car park). The young fullback would have been a shorter less athletic target imo, but that instruction may have come from the HC.Green eyed Mick wrote: ↑March 23, 2019, 6:34 pm Williams defence isn't that bad, it's not bad enough to justify keeping Sezer if Sezer doesn't improve significantly this week.
We didn't get many opportunities in the red zone so maybe you take on the fullback who's safe as houses for a change up but your main target should be the guy who can drop a sitter.

Re: 2019 Rd 2 V Storm: Game Day
Storm fullback was safe as houses against us, he was never tested.
Re: 2019 Rd 2 V Storm: Game Day
The game wasn’t televised I don’t think? I just caught the highlights. His 3 tries were all just good backing up after other players had created and made linebreaks so it doesn’t have much bearing on how he played as a half in that game I’d imagine.WiganRaider wrote: ↑March 25, 2019, 3:17 amAs I say this he goes and scores a hat trick to win us the game!WiganRaider wrote: ↑March 23, 2019, 7:54 pm Watched the full game back this morning and Melbourne just seem to do the 1% better than most sides.

well, I guess you could say that I'm buy curious.
Re: 2019 Rd 2 V Storm: Game Day
It shows good game awareness at least. The value of a good backer upper is sorely under-rated. At his best, it was one of Austin's strengths.
