cordners chase

[ChookMaster]

That shows the courage and the player he is. The chase on manu was super imo. Never gave up and actually showed some good speed to move mani away from the posts. I watched over the game bitterly and I saw the stuff up on the last that set up the try. Jimmy raised his hand calling for the ball and mitch either lacked trust in him or thought the warriors wouldn't anticipate the blind side move. I actually agree with a few people on here. You can't blame skd for the last try. 95% of players in that situation with nothing going on would grubber kick it. Sbw , pearce & rts all gave up. They backed out of the chase. Fpn& cordner had a good attempt. Your thoughts?

Nah the play was on, watch the replay if Mini catches the original pass we score no doubt in the world.

I don't really blame Skid for that kick but like you pointed out Cordner busted a gut even knowing he probably wouldn't catch him, what was SKD doing? Just having a Sunday stroll in the background, that really irritated me.

SKD has done several horrendous kicks this year one bad one ended up a try for us .He's fu$#@^

In all fairness to SKiD, and I'm not defending his arse, but why would PearceOrf even pass the ball to him on the last like that down a short side???

Really our playmaker has to wear a lot of the responsibility for that ordinary bit of decision making.

Nah it was great coaching from Elliot. I'm sure he told Manu the play was coming.

Fpn was chasing aswell

yes fpn gave a great chase. Just missed unfortunately

[BUDDY]

Mini over-ran the ball. That's where the problem started. It was last tackle so SKD really had no choice but to kick it. Just unlucky that Manu stuck his leg out. FPN was the run of the race. Follow up next start.

An earlier SKD kick got us a repeat set although it was all comical.

He didn't, Pearce asked SBW to run a block play for him and Mini to run the play as the second receiver, Mini over ran the play and SKD had to pick the ball off the ground. If Mini catches that pass we have a 3 on 1, the play was definitely on.

I guarantee you if any other fullback runs that play he times his run properly, he catches it and Pearce gets applauded for having the balls to run it on the last, if Mini passes to Pearce on the break that he butchered he also scores. He ends up coming out of the game with 1 try assists, 3 linebreak assists & a try.

Not a bad game for a halfback I'd say... funny how the game is sometimes.

Actually if he held the ball he would've scored. If you look at where he landed after being tackled it was well over the line.

Repeat of Manly game?

Probably not as when Mini passed it Manu dropped off, so if he did hold on too it Manu would have stopped the try.

Not disagreeing with that mate but it seems where PearceOrf, Mini and Skid go more often than not pushed passes, dropped balls and bombed pressure situations follow.

That's what Fitzy was geeing me up about, the coaching.

Elliot knows how to play us.

Frustrate us and inevitably one of those three will crack in some aspect.

Shit happens. Sometimes footy comes down to a few crucial decisions. In comparison to the better sides some of our decisions at times lack thought.

I know in this case it's hind site but maybe going the other side of the field at that time, not relying on poor decision makers, would've been a better choice IMO.

The whole play does sorta sum those blokes up unfortunately.

Didn't notice.. Could've dummied then.

[milanja]
