Round 20: Dolphins vs Penrith Panthers

[Josh]

Tough take for Isaako there. Can't blame him for that. Should have stopped them getting in position to put up an attacking kick.

 

[Red]

Oh well. We'll go on to bigger and better things next year. This year's done.

 

[Equaliser]

Open letter:

Dear Wayne
You are never wrong. The plan was always to move the Hammer back to fullback. So please fucking do it on Tuesday.

Sincerely

Equaliser

Hammer and the whale have swapped

Signing Payne Haas or Tino would make it a good off season. And two centres. A winger. A new half.

Tino for next year or hold out for 1 year and then Haas? I think hold out for a year and then the contracts of Bromwich, Wallace, Ese'ese will all end. And the Bromwiches are at present the worst of Wallace, Ese'ese and them.

Might be dreaming with those two I think.

Played well in that second half, good to see when you have players playing out of position too. Good shout, nearly got it.

The whale = Te Whare? Wing is definitely not his position.

Against a team resting its 5 best players.

I'm an Englishman who supports Wales RL(for the trophies) and gets up at the crack of dawn to watch an NRL expansion team. Dreams are all I have

Yea my phone keeps auto correcting to it so I'll just leave it. It's fitting he turns like one

I can't be too hard on him. He's playing out of position. I guess he needs to learn his game in the QLD Cup for the rest of the yar and come back smaller and better next year.

Or do we accept this season is now over and keep him in to get the experience when it doesn't effect anything

Hmmm not a bad idea at all. Get him on the road to next year early.

As long as Hammer goes back to fullback!!!

Great idea, you should have mentioned it before.

 

[Josh]

I feel strongly about it. Well, I did. No use worrying about it now. Surely he'll be back there next year.

Proud that we competed well until the end but we really should have won that game. We had them in almost all the stats, but our spine let us down with all the opportunities in their 20, plus some soft tries, especially on our left edge. MIlford and SOS were terrible all round.

Even though Niko did well and was one of our best, we definitely need Hammer at FB to become more involved and steady up our spine. He had a poor game in defense, missing 4 of the 13 tackles he made. Hard for him out of position in between SOS and Te Whare - it shouldn't be his job in this team to be holding the defense for an entire edge.

I feel sorry for Katoa being out of place but he does provide some spark, however credit to Graham for making 50 tackles (only 2 misses), but he is a bit like McCullough and dulls our go forward.

We really miss Gilbert in the middle too - Stone missed 7 tackles (as did SOS).

SOS missed 5 tackles on one guy for the penrith try.

It was bad

Had a bad day. Everyone does from time to time. Was one of our best last week.
