So cruel .......
Top 8 2023
Shattered
How long do curses last ? Because seriously at what point are the footy gods going to turn our luck .
So many sliding door moments. But seriously... 2 weeks in a row, fair try not even referred to the bunker... WTF? Was last week's ref dropped to reserves this week?
Match summary. Our kicking game was terrible which meant we didn't get great field position and structure. Our defence was solid - we locked up Fafita better than most teams and I thought Nofo and Roberts were great on our right.
Once again our halves didn't take the game on and I'm thinking is Hastings play we're a better chance of scoring points. Still very disappointed there's no support when people make breaks - the Nofo one from the dropout was an obvious one - all we needed was one player to be following up.
Gildart had some good touches but has trouble icing a play. I thought Gar(d)ner was good when he came on. Tuillagi and Lucy were good. I thought Roberts had a good game too - he seems to be getting some decent form this year and he was good in attack and solid in defence.
Liddle was good and I'm impressed he came back with a broken snoz. Tamou and Musgrove were decent too.
Overall, we lacked attacking structure because we couldn't get decent field position. Our kicking was bad but our defence was really solid - it's definitely improved this year.
We can't catch a break, the footy gods hate us.
We just lost a game 8 6 . Who would have think it a year ago . I know it sux but how many regular field tries have we give up this year ? . By my count it’s only 2 . The rest are off kicks and a fair chunk of those are ricochet lucky ones .
say what you will about the attack , but our defence is rock solid
Seyfarth 4mins of game time, waste of a bench spot. Come on Madge be creative
No words can describe
I don’t know why we took the penalty goal. Should have taken our usual 5 hit ups and then a bomb. A tough loss that.
They just lack serious confidence . The whole team has the yips . It’s crazy because we could very, very easily be 3 and 1 .
the only game we shat the bed was the Newcastle one .
@eastiemagpie It was the right decision . The reason the titans walked up the field was the brooks high tackle . Which he got his arm around the ball.
we copped some absolute shocking decisions tonight
after we had them pinned on the line .
@voice_of_reason I thought Madden’s kicking game was pretty good tonight.
had a couple of repeat sets and some really nice long kicks as well
