Turning point.

[Guest]

You know, Pearce will be filfthy within himself all week but Anasta will not think twice about his absence.

Mini was in disneyland, head clash with Lillyman. Harsh to blame him for that, he was going on instinct at the time and that told him to get to his feet and play the ball quickly...only problem was his legs wouldn't work properly!

Julz It doesnt work like that Mini should stay down and let someone else play the ball That is the only way to avoid that Not blaming him Just responding

That's the thing, how can we expect mini to stay down when he is unconscious and obviously not thinking?

Thing is Mini is a true competitor and even when he has his head smashed in, it's not in him to be a cat and stay down like the current crop of players that are trying to "earn" penalties by staying down...in fact none of our players seem to ever stay down

As I said initially I was not blaming Mini Just responding to Julz In itial post In which they questioned since Mini was concussed He should have been allowed to play the ball aagin It does not work like that

I think the Mini incident was the turning point. If he did not get up & was attended to then played the ball who knows what would have happened.

In saying that it shows how committed & tough Mini is. I thought he plyed another top game.

Mini copped a big whack in the head did'nt know what was what for two seconds & played the ball. Have a look at the replay. Just like a boxer jumping up after he's been hit.

Yeah, let's blame it on one mistake from Pearce and not captain coqqhead letting everyone stroll past him all night and not being able to kick a sick puppy back into it's kennel!

Who's blaming Pearce? We have just noted that it was a turning point in the game.

Yeah, the turning point in the game that led us to a loss.

You can spin it any way you like, you're unfairly blaming Pearce.

[Andrew Walker]

Pearces mistake was the turning point of the game From that error they scored two converted tries both with the aid of piggy back penalties

[Headless Chook]

Yeah, the turning point in the game that led us to a loss.

No I'm not. You are spinning it that way. There were lots of contributing factors to us losing, refereeing, an incompetent 5/8th, poor goal kicking, but there was a momentum shift straight after Pearce's error, plain and simple and to say otherwise is being blindly loyal to Pearce.

I agree I nearly threw my beer at the television. Patience was really needed to apply more pressure.

The effort was there tonight but Mitchell had his worst game in a month. If he held on I have no doubt the Warriors would't have held is out, our attack was on point.

Unlucky but I feel we are going to make the eight.

Pearce should never have throw that pass, Aubusson was always going to be in front of the ball.
He throws one or two of them a game and they get dropped.
Nearly every time Mini comes thru at pace near the line Pearce throws him a pass that's too hard and around his shoulder.

He needs to go to 'passing practice' and SKD needs to go to 'tackling practice'.

and rightly so. it directly led to a 12 point turn around. Spinning is not required here.

Shits me when some are waiting for Mini to make a mistake and pounce on that forgetting the try he just scored by stealing a bomb from Maloney, I think. Mini has been good this year. Unfortunately he isn't able to carry the whole team. I do blame Pearce for that back flick. That's something BJ would do and stuff it up. Overall, I am happy with the way we kept attacking even when it looked impossible. Remember we were not given any chance to do much this year but the young guys are all stepping up.

Anyone having a dig at Mini needs their heads read. Seriously?

Pearce has had a great month, but whatever way you want to spin it, losing the ball on the first tackle WAS the turning point.

As soon as we got the ball back and were throwing all these offloads I was 4cm away from the TV screaming "SIX TO GO SIX TO GO". I could see something like that coming.

Another turning point was when we were on the attack in the 2nd half, at the play the ball Sammy passed the ball and missed the whole team, i am sure that had the ball was passed correctly we could have been in the corner that just stopped the whole momentum.

Cannot blame Mini as he was Disneyland, as for Pearcey he should have held on the ball as it was a zero tackle and we would have had 6 10 meters out.

They can't hear you!

You and mrs bondi-boy would make a good pair of supporters, they can't hear her screaming at the tv either!
