Absolutely Disgraceful

[Guest]

Our team did not play particularly well in the opening month and a bit last season as well and as is the same as this year the only convincing performance was against a poor Parramatta team. As we did early in last season we have seen our defence rise to a high standard. Despite the fact that we lost we have defended brilliantly tonight in the face of adversity and constant pressure.

You can consistently win football matches giving up 60% of the possession to your opponent and having to defend 16 extra sets and make 100 extra tackles takes incredible energy out of the team.

There is however considerable concern over the quality of our forward pack in the absence of Mr O'Donnell and Mr Kennedy as the replacements are far too young and inexperienced to give us the required go forward that we need. I sense that that Mr Robinson has identified this and has now decided to use the backs a lot more coming out of our own end than we did last season, particularly when we are inside our own 10 metre line.

Simply put, there is not a lot you can achieve in a game of rugby league where you completion rate is around 60% and your opponent has the vast majority of the ball.

don't be afraid to tell us more.
Who did you play for, where did you play A grade and who for and who did you coach?
I find it hard to believe you did any of those things as you do not answer my statement in my earlier post.
So I ask the question , Do you understand what happens in a game when you have to defend so much and have little possession. By the way Robbo does not agree with you either.

Do you identify yourself on this site or just hide behind your "kramer" moniker?? So why would I give any more details than I have about my life. I am not here to prove myself so i couldn't care if you believe me.
My opinion is harsh but correct and no one can disagree with that. Robbo by the way didn't - he like I said courageous but poor execution and we need to be better. Sorry to point out but after 4 rounds exactly what I have said throughout this thread....

You are joking right. I have put a view on here and it is you that can't handle an opinion different to yours. Go re read your own posts. Geez you are convenient.

My point has always been they got themselves into the problem through poor execution and dropped ball etc.. I point you now agree with.

As to the rest of your diatribe I would say as "premiers" there are just games you have to go out and win to "impose" yourselves. These games so far were likely Souths but certainly Manly. We have failed in both major tests. So forget the 2 from 4 crap...we have had 2 major tests to our supremacy early in the year and have failed both of them. Brush it aside if you like - I don't.

Sheet mate I can't go back most of my stuffs been elbowed by the over reactive mods.

No one said we didn't execute poorly but that combined with the poor officiating and the poor field position we enjoyed we were still in that game with a minute to go.

They had something like 48 tackles in out 20. We had what 6???

You don't find it pretty amazing we only conceded ONE try against the second best side from last year who have been consistently a top 4 side for the last 8-9 seasons.

Seriously you are punishment silly sausage. I hope you ain't married mate or have a cat.

They had 48 tackles in our 20 because we were poor. I don't get it having heaps of tackles in your 20 is like a badge of honour...NO it usu

Geez can't understand it how having heaps of tackles in your twenty is almost like a badge of courage where in fact usually all it indicates like tonight is it means you played like crap. Lets not go hard on the penalties as we might have to hand back the premiership...you know rub of the green...
We played poorly tonight and got beaten by a far inferior on paper side. We got smacked by Souths and Brisbane should have beaten us. If you want to delude yourself we are going ok then go for your life...

None of your opinion on the game was elbowed.

And the only stuff of Sausage's that was elbowed was the abusive ranting at fellow posters.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion but name calling, abuse and baiting is just a waste of energy.

IMO this thread has run its course and is now closed.
