Round 2: Dolphins vs Gold Coast

[Josh]

3 Hammer- 314m, T, LB, LBA.
2 Finefeuiaki- 215m, T, LB, TA, 34 Tck.
1 Gilbert- 134m, 43 Tck (0 missed).

Plenty of work still to be done, but I'll take the two points in a game where they looked dead and buried. The Flegs injury is a major concern. Cobbo, Plath, Stone and Knik also had good games. It will take a few weeks for this team to hit their strides.

Gilbert went about his work quietly.

Impressive but I'm going to continue to go with Herbie. He was an absolute menace.

Next round vs the Sharks if Kurt D isn't back, and I think JMK is still 3 or 4 weeks away, I think Woolf has to go with Kodi at #9. Plath is a good player but only suitable to play dummy as an emergency for 10~15 min to give Kodi a rest. Schnider can be one of the 6 on the bench but not come unless for an injury in the halves.

They won't do that. I thought Plath did a credible job, especially defensively. 38 tackles (0 missed) is outstanding for someone who hasn't played in 10 months. Schneider is a worry, though, but he isn't a natural #9 anyways. Hopefully, Donga is back on Saturday.

Plaths defence is first rate. His passing from dummy half isn't good enough. In my view anyway.

So lets be brutally honest the titans are spoon contenders which is why we held them to 14. that many fuck ups in the first 20 against a top 4 or even top 8 side and the game was buried by half time.

chalk up the win move on. 2 shit performances in 2 weeks. 2 dots do not make a pattern. 3 and there is a big problem

Defence today was good. But really, the service from dummy half or lack of really screwed us up in my opinion.

Maybe. One if my pet peeves is the arbitrary nature of those 6-again rulings. In big games you can be sure Melbourne, Sydney and Broncos get the rub of the green. But that doesn't negate Plath and Schniders very poor dummy half service.

Gilbert went about his work quietly.

I get the feeling he doesnt bend thr line enough for a starting frontrower.

Might be just me. But i just felt he didnt test the line

Schnider isnt a first grader. He looked good playing along side premiership winners at penrith. But asking him to shine in a team thats looking to break into the 8 is another thing.

He gets through a lot of work. Allows Finefeuiaki and others to concentrate more on attack.

 

[Liverbird with Phins up]

I guess we have a few good players to come back as well.

Said it before Plath can’t pass, from dummy half but he fixed the middle up with strong defence, the 6 again is a lottery. If we want better service kodi to 9 and averillo to six cobbo to centre leave hammer at fullback .
