Round 27 v Newcastle Knights the Must win

[Josh]

Newcastle on top early.

 

[Equaliser]

Time to bring JMK on!

 

[Red]

• Dolphins by20
• MoM = Fuller
• First try = Fuller

Spot on first try and looking good for MoM at this early stage.

 

[Liverbird with Phins up]

Some bullshit calls here

 

[Dolph]

Some bullshit calls here

No try and Bostock challenge were both rough calls.

 

[Liverbird with Phins up]

I just cant warm to SoS's pass and catch play style.

He offers no run threat, so the defence just hold off him and wait for the pass.

Ponga with ball in hand, our defence shits itself. Their defence when SoS has it, cold as ice.

 

[Red]

Nothing last play from SOS. He just can't find two good games in a row.

We have to face the fact that last week was a false dawn for the team and SOS.

 

[Equaliser]

Fuller good for us and if forwards can go forward a bit better, JMK will be dangerous. Herbie is troubling them but both him and Hammer aren't getting room. Everytime they get the ball, there is a solid line of defenders in front of them.

 

[Equaliser]

No try and Bostock challenge were both rough calls.

Both were 50-50. Maybe in the second half we will have one go our way.

 

[Blockade]

Newcastle are up for this and are playing really well. But they are notorious for fading out. If the Dolphins can crack them a couple of times, it will go along way towards victory. The injection of KNik will be a key moment.

 

[Red]

Looking grim now. Now we need to see some football from our boys. Get Lemumelu off and Kodi on. Even if he wasn't injured.

 

[Equaliser]

Why does Wayne shy away from short drop outs? Should be short 4 out of 5 times not vice versa.

 

[Liverbird with Phins up]

He has nothing in attack.

 

[Jetty]

I CAN'T FUKING LISTEN TO ENNIS ANYMORE!!!! IT'S EXCRUCIATING!

 

[Equaliser]

Game over. Credit to Newcastle. They played well. Our forwards were bashed up. Really needed Flegler, Gilbert and Aitken.

 

[Red]

Held on the last and SOS rakes at the ball right in front of the ref......

 

[Liverbird with Phins up]

Here I was thinking he was resting Katoa for a game, to freshen him up.

HE is young, and he has a mistake in him as a result. However, you can see that he is a game winner, just by watching SoS and his lack of game winning ability.

 

[Blockade]

Night quite good enough. I can live with that. They gave it their best effort. Extremely disappointing but looking forward to the coming seasons. I'm anticipating a breakthrough year in '25.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing but definitely giving him a rest was the right thing to do but should've been for only 1 game.
