Round 15: RAIDERS vs TITANS

[Mr Bods]

Surely we have someone other than Peachy to sit on the bench. How can this muppet get picked every week.
Something dumb within two minutes of coming on every week for about six weeks now.
I see him come on , I sigh , and then a high tackle or a stupid penalty.
Please stop picking him in the side Garth.
Surely he could just go off for a haircut with TPJ, anything please.

Justin has plenty of options other than Peachey. Given he’s contracted and has no intention of going anywhere I dare say the Coach is trying to Coach him out of his poor form.
He was once good enough to get an Origin jersey.

Unfortunately, I think we may be without MoFo for a couple weeks thanks to the crackdown on crusher tackles.

^^^^ NswRL will certainly use us to make an example of

Paul Vaughan is in the same situation so will be interesting to compare

 

[Mr Bods]

I was at the game and in my seat the Mo incident didn’t even look a penalty to me
How would you (and others) compete the Mo and Vaughan tackles?

 

[willhelm]

I think by the letter of the law, it was a crusher tackle by Mo. However, the Fox commentators were quite fair and said that if a player is trying to back their way through the defense, there's not much alternative for the defender than to try to bring him down on his back. It's very easy to accidentally cause a crusher tackle in this case.

 

[Titslover]

He's already been charged and will miss 2 games, only 1 if he takes the early guilty plea though. We're gonna have absolutely no forwards next week so not a chance Peachey gets dropped

 

[DavidBouveng]

I caught some of first half before falling asleep on couch.

only memory is that peats didn’t look up to it, and Tanah looked promising, decent ball movement and very energetic in defence.

 

[kioli]

How good is Tanah going? Haven’t thought that much of him to date but that ball for Stone was special and then the kick. Imagine Fifita running lines off that.

As an aside — I’m watching on Fox and the commentator keeps saying pronouncing it Foe-garty instead of Fog-arty. Like nails on a chalk board.

That's how his name is pronounced, the commentators mentioned he corrected them.

 

[NZFan]

Watched the replay last night after skimming through some comments here first. Not much to add apart from the fact that Stone didn’t make a dominant tackle the whole game. We got absolutely torn apart by their big mobile forwards with only Mo, Joliffe and Hipgrave there to stop them.

Neither Stone or Whitbread are ever going to be NRL standard imo. They are both too small and lack any real footwork or physicality.

1000% agree on stone and Whitbread, were better off giving Luke page or just about any other q cup forward a run

 

[indoallstars]

I'm all for giving Like Page a run, don't think he's on our books though and it's past the cut off date

 

[GCTTSD]

The bubble and quarantine makes it impossible to bring new players in anyway at this point, what forwards do we have left? Maybe farmer gets a run and pushes hipgrave in the middle

Well I stand corrected then. Sounds weird to me but it’s his name.
