Round 19 vs Cronulla Sharks

[mr_c]

Didn't get to watch. Was out.

Reading this, glad I went out

we didnt play to bad ( just hadnt had to defend like that for some time dont even think in our losses we previously had we had to

 

[Phins Phan]

Losing Nicholls was a real blow because it meant the other forwards all had to play extra minutes and were simply out on their feet at the end. Kerr, in particular, is an impact player who is really only at his best for 15-20 minutes - that's not a criticism, simply acknowledging that different players brings different skills to the team. Yes, all teams get injuries but Dolphins are really getting more than their share this year

Dolphins now in 10th position.

Most knew the selection of O’Sullivan be a terrible one and three tries came through him, Katoa was completely stifled and there was no running or attacking threat at 5/8 only a defensive revolving door.

Naufahu is worth keeping and this means Hammer fullback & Averillo 5/8.

In my season preview I said needed two players from pathways to emerge it’s turned out to be Tawha and Naufahu. Even with Bromwich available they still went with Tawha.

But O’Sullivan is not NRL standard and like Flanagan all his leg ups to the NRL have come due to connections.

SOS isn't first grade standard and shouldn't have been selected but it's easy to say in hindsight.

Many were saying it long before the game we were told to suck it up

Look at our injury list. It's hard to pick a NRL-standard team.

 

[mr_c]

funny , the fact you guys think these guys arent up to nrl standard but 99% are doing the hard yards if woolf trusts them we should , so we lost ffs we got shitloads top players out , and only our 3rd year

 

[mr_c]

Many were saying it long before the game we were told to suck it up

because 99% want the whole 30 achieve the success not just few players, and thats what you can hear in the coaches voices


oh wait selwyn in bound n people will rubbish him to like allready are

funny also the fact you guys were calling woolf to be sacked n bennett curse , shows you how much your opinion means to bennett n the boys

Personally I never believed the so-called "Bennett curse" and always said it was utter fiction.

I called for Cobbo to be signed even before I knew he was being offloaded.

Bennett curse is just dumb people looking for something to talk about.

Never has been, never will be. I was disappointed we signed him, and he did nothing to suggest I was wrong.

I know you find it hard but stop talking like a cunt , nobody gets to play NRL because of who they know. We had 7 players missing 5 of them forwards we couldn’t get much go forward therefore the half’s struggled. To get to play NRL takes a lot of hard work, and by saying otherwise smacks of desperation of writing for writings sake just to be controversial. The GOAT signed him end of.

Sharks were able to just focus all their defence on Katoa as they knew O’Sullivan was no running or passing threat. What was worrying was all the tries conceded down the left defensive corridor and Nicho was made to look like peak Joey. Not only did O’Sullivan stifle Katoa he was a defensive target.

Katoa Averillo Hammer Donga offers a much more potent & varied attacking threat.

You pick Averillo at 5/8 and best compliment Katoa the rest builds around that.

Hammer didn’t play, who plays lock if you put Donga at 6 hynes played off the back of go forward from the pack, averillo had to play fb as trai isn’t fully fit. You know jack shit about the game.
