Round 12: Dolphins vs Canberra Raiders

[Josh]

Dolphins by 20
FTS - Pouniu
MOM - Katoa

 

[Josh]

WTF happened there!!??

Schneider...... of course.

 

[Red]

A win tonight followed by the bye and with a healthy +/- would be the ideal scenario heading into the second half of the season. Unfortunately, the odds are very long on that happening on a cold night in Canberra with half our squad missing due to Origin and injury. The '25 minor premiers have struggled mightily this year, but their pack is still strong and flyers like Weeks and Savage can absolutely kill you. This will go in one of two possible ways. A comfortable Raider win or a very narrow and miraculous Dolphin victory. Let's hope it's the latter.

Dolphins by 2
FTS- Naufahu
MOTM- JMK.

Looking good so far.

 

[Red]

Apart from that opening try, they look pretty sharp. JMK makes so much difference to the attack.

 

[Liverbird with Phins up]

Thats why Hammer is fullback

 

[Gary]

Everyone on here screams for fuller to be in the 17 , there’s his weakness

 

[Red]

Disappointing to let that last try in. It was a good try but the way they got there didn't please me. Hard to nominate first half standouts, specially in the forwards because it was a good team effort again but I'll go with:

3. JMK
2. Finefeuiaki
1. Bostock

After this, I won't be calling for him to be fullback. He's been our weak link.

Defensively light too. Im happy with him as a backup

Lemuelu has been outstanding.

Stone stiffens the forwards up

Bostock needs to work on his tackling, looks to grab a lot around the shoulders neck, Knowles and lemuelu went well

Lemuelu has been outstanding.

Lemuelu and Finefeuiaki have been very good. JMK hasn't been that good. It's we are so used to poor dumnmy half serive, JMK looks like a god-send.

 

[Red]

Fuller is having a shocker!

 

[Josh]

Have I ever criticised Schnider? Surely not.

 

[Red]

I don't really know who to give points to. Good team effort. Just happy with the win.

 

[Liverbird with Phins up]

Always confident boys. Onwards and upwards

 

[midlands hobo]

Good result I'd like to give person thanks to the 14th man Corey Horsburgh.

I have to say there are still large sections of the game where its seems to be just the back and the forwards drop off the screen.

He did have a shocker, one of the worst however consdering the lack of game time in the last year at this level not a suprise. I still think we are much more dangerous in attack with him at FB and hammer in centre
