Hedger's Heroes and Zeros - Rd 7 vs Bulldogs

[King Salvo]

Yep, played almost 20min and had 1 hit up? You would think he would want to get the ball as much as he could to keep his spot. SBW with a fractured wrist would make a bigger impact than some of this crop.

Did his job all you can ask this early on for FPN- I think he will be a regular on our bench for the rest of the year.

I was at the game and listening to ABC radio, Matterson was their man of the match.

Watching the game live from the away fans corner,Aubo was outstanding!He shut down the Bulldogs only try outlet ,the Morris twins,if Reece Robinson & Fergo were together on that side we loose.Aubo desereves an 8 IMO.

[Mickie Lane]

Jake Friend was at least a 7 before he had to go off.
Matto's defence was excellent & Fergo was good as well. The defence by the whole team was outstanding, 10 out of 10.

[The Brain]

Jake Friend gets a 10 for leaving the field............

I gotta agree with Hedger's Matto rating. Weren't you the one who started a thread about just because Friend makes lots of tackles doesn't mean he's good?

Matterson had 2 errors and gave away a couple of lazy penalties too, not to mention his inability to score the most simplest of tries when put through the biggest gap. He misses too many tackles and allows more offloads than anyone else. Sure he made 65 tackles but not one of them was a dominant hit, they were all just hanging on while he let the dogs run an extra 15 metres after contact. He only ran for 58 metres too and seems to fall to the ground at the first sight of contact.

I don't understand why everyone thought he played so well. It seemed like no one said he had a good game before someone mentioned the tackle count. Statistics don't show the full picture

No that wasnt me, but that statement is true.

Although Matto wasnt the best on the field, he wasnt the "Zero of the week"

Shit you are a joyless carnt mate.

Sorry if im offending carnts by lumping your joyless arse with them.

But You are a joyless carnt none the less.

What pleases you?

[eddie]

I was gonna suggest FPN as zero of the week , until I saw the post match interveiw they did with him.
I dig how much he loves being back at our club.

[bondi paul]

Grant did you do your scoring after too many beers whilst at your local being gods waiting room - the Bondi Junction RSL

[NorfolkStreetKid]

If I never see FPN in first grade again it will be too soon. Even at his limited best he was only ever average.

[Grant Hedger]

Let me explain...Our completion rate was 67% (Dogs 77%). We made 17 errors (Dogs 11). We made 100 more tackles than Dogs. Dogs ran 460 meters more than us. Dogs had 200 meters more than us after contact. Dogs possession was 55%, ours 45%. With those stats, whoever plays 80 mins will make a lot of tackles. And the first mistake of the game was in the first set when Matterson went for a ridiculous offload in our own half. But I wasn’t picking on him. Most ratings were on the low side this week reflecting this wasn’t one of our best performances—- look at Keary and Cronk ratings. We need to do better, but at the same time we’ll gladly take the 2.
