7 and 9 are our weak spots

[TDK]

I was at the game and I thought our weak spot was our forwards they could fight their way out of a paper bag. Reynolds showed his worth in the all stars game imo!

To be fair They had two halfbacks in the all stars team and Cameron Smith controlled the ruck, young Reynolds didn't get any ball or a chance to dominate. Lets face it, Souths have a very good halfback, lets hope they don't get rid of Sutton and get a real 5/8.

Must have watched a different game to you tonight Ray.

The game I watched we were absolutely dominated up the middle of the field (Souffs made 400 more metres)

We struggled to gain field position through poor discipline; errors & penalties (5 more penalties than Souffs & a 61% completion rate)

Pearce was very good when playing direct and his combination with Maubs is back in full swing (Pearce - 3 Linebreak Assits, Souffs whole team - 3 linebreaks assists).

The game really isn't that hard to understand, we need field position. That is gained by controlling the ball and making the hard yards up the middle, everything else comes on the back off that.

Yourself, Roz and Ju Ju need to get a room, he was far from the worst perfomer, but he was a 5 at best, continually kicking the ball dead does not warrant playing well.

Pearce was rubbish, he was completely owned by Reynolds tonight.

continually kicking the ball dead does not warrant playing well.

Considering it's his home ground you would think he would do better.

Pearce couldn't get a repeat set if his life depended on it. The bloke has been a Rooster for ages and I'm struggling to recall a game where he's grabbed it by the scruff of the neck and taken control. It's the same old same old from him him every season. We need a decent half.

In fairness to Pearce he was trying to get repeat sets from 40+ metres out not 10-15 metres out like Reynolds.

Exactly right mate !!

Fu** the refs we got hammered

How many times did a try get scored after a penalty??

lol as usual no substance to your arguments.

We'll be much better with Cordner, Tasi and O'Donnell but it still doesn't hide the fact that Friend is a liability and Pearce is clueless.

Mate just keel.ur comments to ur self
Because imo ur the cluless onw
U might want to watch the game again
And tell me how many times did we get the ball inside the souths 30m???

Once kennedy drops it
The other skd drops it
The other forward pass

I honestly thought the refs were a disgrace!!

How many times did the souths get a penalty in there end of the field
Dead set form where i was sitting there were forward passes from dummy half atleast once every 2 sets

[Guest]

We all saw how much Pressure souffs were putting on us through Reynolds kicking for repeat sets, everyone except useless Pearce.

Mate how can he get repeat sets from 40 m out or how can he get repeat sets when thw nall gets dropped on the 2nd tackle??

The refs didn't lose us that game..

Good on ya rooster 6 atleast someone has a brain

oops clicked wrong thread.

definitely agree. while pearce didnt take control of the game he didnt play badly. our forwards were dominated. What bothers me though is he allowed for our team to group behind the play the ball instead of organising the offensive line making it easy for the vermin to pick us off as we ran one out over and over again. when we these morons learn.... even when we are taking hitups you stand across the field not in a ****en group behind the ball runner.

as for all those writing off maubs, friend and mini they were some of the better players on park along with JWH and Moa.

Ownes by a guy who had field position
Who kicked out on the full
I wonder how many tries did he set - up???
GI did it all himself


U better watch the game again buddy

[Guest]

I think it's hard to write off Pearce so early. The main issue tonight was our backrowers... They did nothing and there we no offloads or sideways movement. This meant no opportunities to put our backs in space and limited time with the ball for our halves. Our fitness also seems an issue, the team was bunched a lot of the night and couldn't keep up with Souths in defence!!

[Ray Stehr]

Mate you are the clueless one, fancy blaming the refs, that's a huge copout. One of the main reasons we were continually under pressure was because Friend kept giving away stupid penalties. Pearce and Friend are liabilities to this team and until they are replaced with better players we'll continue to be a middle of the road team.

[Ray Stehr]

U better watch the game again buddy

Why? To see Pearce get outplayed by Reynolds again?
