[Guest]

2nd man play with Perret ----> Maubs ---- > SKD Very quick hands.



I thought i was seeing things but it has been confirmed. Myles got subbed 3 minutes into the 2nd half.


Deeb is on.

You're a Chook fan, we were on to it already!

[Guest]

Mini did not even attempt to tackle at marker. Inglis in again. That has outdone their last try as the most pathetic try allowed this season.

[Guest]

Myles saves the day again.



Edit: Friend - inspirational defence.

[Guest]

SKD makes the usual mistake by trying to offload on the 2nd tackle in the Melb 10.

[Guest]

This is a joke. Even the Melb team is treating it as such. Hoffman just had a shot at goal.


Give the paychecks to Myles, Maubs, Friend and the rest can **** off.


If anyone still has fantasies about Jones playing centre, then you need some prescriptions. Like i said a month or so ago, big centres are going to have a field day with him.

2 interchanges - 3,5 minutes after half time - what the **** is that ?

Waqa gets 20-30 minutes a game and completes his complimentary 3 mistakes while Deeb gets a 15 min spell.

FPN at one point going to dummy half in the melb 20.

SKD being SKD.

Minichiello cannot defend in the front lines.


I can go on all day. Pathetic.

We would feel worse if we followed the rabbits. They have some great footy this year but will still finish the season when we do

No, they have some shithouse players, but at least they have some pride in the jersey.

Half of these clowns wouldn't care if they were wearing a pink jersey as long as they are getting paid.

[Guest]

How did deeb go in hes 15 min spell?

[elo]

Freddy sure does have some coaching talent....he has mastered the art of sending a team from 4th to last in an offseason.......well done Freddo.

[Guest]

Honestly, those were some of the softest tries I have ever seen.

Jones can start next year in the NYC until he learns how to tackle properly.

SKD, deadset stop trying to force every single play, it is actually not the end of the world if you get tackled with the footy.

Minichiello, you know you aren't a five-eighth, just because your playing there it doesn't mean you are Freddy bloody Fittler. Just hold the ball and run!

Shackleton, Mason, Slowiola, Brown >>>>> leave now, you are not wanted.

It saddens me to see that the players who played with the most heart were probably Khalid Deeb, Stanley Waqa and Iwi Hauraki. I don't think any of them are under contract for next year, and Waqa is the only one of them who is even contracted to the Roosters at all - the others are both Jets. Sure those three aren't exactly flash, but at least they are playing with a bit of guts.

Nuuausala, Pearce, Friend, Fitzgibbon, Perrett, Myles and Aubusson - you guys get a pass mark. At least they tried out there. Swap the leaving Fitzgibbon with Minichiello, and these should be the ONLY players guaranteed a start in the team next year. No-one else as far as I am concerned has shown enough to be definites. Having only 7 players that a fan feels really deserves a FG spot next year is pretty sad.

But simply, it was not enough. It was grim from the get-go. Smith needs a complete overhaul in attitude at the club. Teach these players about composure when the other team scores, keeping your heads up and not losing control of the game, building sustained pressure through error-free footy and consistently solid kicking games. No rushed plays, no panic, no miscommunications, no fundamental errors.

Very unhappy.

[Guest]

Oh, and just a side note.

Mason = 3 runs, 7 tackles.

FMD.

Couldn't get much of an idea as for most of that time we were on the receiving end.


Made a mistake inside Melb 20, howevever he shouldn't have been first receiver.

He is a big strong lad. Had some solid runs and some powerful defence. Doesn't worry you in the ruck like Waqa and FPN do.

Can't form an opinion based on that performance.
