2021 Rd 8 V Rabbitohs: Game Day

[Rick]

How good has Whitehead been for the Milk, so underrated.

Take away the offside penalty when Johnson dropped the ball, soft 'dangerous tackle' penalty on Walker and the six again when Kris didn't play at the ball and we would look a lot more comfortable.

Need to defend bad calls but when you are under the pump already, it would be handy to have at least half those calls go your way.

[The Nickman]

Before the game started I said that Whitehead moving to the right would be a blessing in disguise as they might get some actual ball down that edge and it looks to be correct so far.

Errrr... stick solid?

[Aero]

Why aren't we attaching Benji with his trouble defence. I know Wighton is on the left. But Whitehead has shown how it's done with his try.

This100% Raiders are the worst when it comes to targeting playmakers in attack. They seem to prefer to target other forwards

I like Williams but the attack looks better tonight than it has in a long time

[afgtnk]

Thought Scott also had a lot of good carries - very solid. Backs having their best game of the season this half

[Seamonkey]

CHN over Young was and is absolutely the right call

As is Kris over Croker. That left side edge all of a sudden looks a lot better

This X100!

[simo]

That was a really good half, but we’re really going to need to stick solid for the second half.

Second halves and sticking solid are where we’ve fallen down this season tremendously.

Completely agree pistol

He has had his best half in green for me. Some very strong hard carries and good meters after contact

Totally, it what happens when we play straight and not this sideways **** we have been dishing out over the last month

CHN's brain explosions will cost us in the big contests. He gave away penalties directly before
both tries with his offside chase and stupid push in the play the ball. You'll never coach that stuff out of him.

Solid..

[Sid]

I can’t find the half-time “sticking solid” stats on the nrl app??

[Northern Raider]

Good first half. Seen this movie before. Hopefully an alternate ending.

[Seiffert82]

Young needs to sort himself out here. We are looking good otherwise.

Hopefully Starling has the energy to play the full 80 and we get some second phase off CHN. Starling can be quite dangerous out there. We need to play off the broken field defence he creates. We won't win off the back of structured footy.

[Ultima]

Penalties 0 to 4, Ruck Infringements 2 to 0, Inside the ten 3 to 0 (although some of them were back to back). Crazy game. Our missed tackles will kill us though, 11 to 5

Solid..

[Billy Walker]

Be great to grab a win here but back to the main game - 55 minute, launch one into the crowd Jackie boi....

CHN pushes the tackled player quite often actually. It was well milked, but it is really unnecessary and dumb.

[kiwi raider]

Biggest difference so far imo is we are making a decent satrt to our sets. Outside backs making good metres. Simmonson especially, middle is rolling off the back of that through some nice simple direct play from Starling

[-PJ-]

I had Jack 6-10.

Thanks Jack.

[GreenMachine]

Need a solid 80.

[Ultima]

OK, so now to hope Stuart has come up with a better half time speech, if it's "stick solid" with what he has done the last month we will be run down hard next half

More important that he uses the bench enough...

He has used the bench more (except when he was forced to) than he has all season so far, only player who road the pine all half was Soliola. I still think it's silly to save a forward but at least we had three unforced interchanges in a half.

Lovin the cornrows..

Yeah. What he brings with ball in hand can't be questioned, it's great. But he's been cancelling it out with the dumb stuff his entire career.

Good call - I’d add Scott and Rapa have taken good early carries. Starling has outplayed Cook.

[Rick]

Need to be having a word to the ref about them taking Jack out of the kick chase and slowing Rapana down on the first.

What we need is to remove the over-coaching, the slow block plays that we setup for slowly phase after phase, which kills any forward roll we have and sends us sideways.

Get quick ball to your halves inside the opposition twenty, have strong hard runners inside and out, and a decent second receiver able to roam both sides of the field - that's it.

[Canberra Milk]

Scott doing well yes. He's no BJ but he's digging in and busting his gut, leading the way almost

[Rick]

This is Jacks chance to grab the blues 6

Raiders kick off to start the second half.

Haha funny but oh so true

I don't normally comment on game day as I watch closely, but impressed with CHN. Hope he n George can strike up a partnership as the year goes on

Time to stick solid, lads!

[Billy Walker]

Good start to the half defence and attack- love it
