General NRL 2018 FINALS Week 2 - General Discussion

[WarriorBall]

Can’t see a turnaround in the second half, Sharks should dunny-flush the chocolate soldiers and move forward to the prelim final against the Storm next week.

 

[Defence]

Also i think having the veterans like mannering and blair were good during the year but in the end it was youth power and athleticism that beat us. we need to either develop our young forwards or buy some mobile and strong powerful forwards as well.

The flip side of that is that the sharks have the most experienced pack in the comp and they're dealing to the young panther upstarts.

 

[gREVUS]

Honestly reckon if you drug tested the sharkies you wouldnt be surprised to find steroids in a number of players

 

[Boats n Hoes]

Gee a team getting dominated, can barely get out of their half, coughing up the ball with dumb errors, opposition forwards all over them...….Maloney and Cleary having no impact whatsoever (or as warriors fans say "gone missing")...…..apparently in our team that would be Shaun Johnson's fault....

….in saying that the Chad's been superb tho

 

[JBmurc]

How did we get beaten by these guys last week. I know we played bad but im sure we would be putting up more of a fight than these guys. Or am i dreaming again

Maybe...(but unlikely) we played so woeful last week once Roger Tuivasa-Sheck went off ...the guys just dropped there nuts and let Maloney and Panfers dominant our team full of indians with no chiefs leading us

the sharkies are good and have lifted to a whole new level ... size and pace across the park..... Personal think they could go all the way the best wingers in the comp

Luke Lewis what a machine

Cronulla know how to follow a game plan. Panthers are a shit team, we played like last years Warriors.

 

[WarriorBall]

Quite impressive how well drilled the Sharks are, their structures rock solid.

 

[AusWarriorsFan]

And thats why i say Val Holmes is CRAP full back. No vision. Roger Tuivasa-Sheck any day of the week, saves more tries than Holmes scores.

 

[Coops]

How was that controlled and forced?

 

[WarriorBall]

Panthers own this period of the game after halftime, another try will be interesting.

Yep .... Panfers

Yep hard to have an impact when you only have a third of the ball and continuing to play out of your half(sharks very good first half) .. but as we see from the second half Cleary is turning it up.. princess and Green didn't and they had plenty of chances but didn't have any structure instead run around like headless chooks and just kicked bombs

 

[AusWarriorsFan]

Yep .... Panfers

Green didn't and they had plenty of chances but didn't have any structure instead run around like headless chooks and just kicked bombs

2019. SK will focus on Offense. Players in motions, reverse angles etc. Set plays 1-2 plays per set.

ie Dragons last game every game.

"Cleary turning it up" is on the back of them finally getting some sustained possession and territory.....and that is on the back of a much improved line speed on D lead by Harawira Naera…….cant remember that happening 2nd half last week.

Speaking of which a long career in a Kiwi jersey beckons for both CHN and JFH I reckon.

which year is he planning on teaching his centres how to pass/defend, use full 13 players on the field, make good use of the bench, selections etc?

No most of our players just seemed so happy to make the 8 and be playing finals footys

when 2nd half kicked off the boys where thinking of the hoildays rather than getting up the opposition and going for the win..

Great to see after a average first half the panfers and lifting in the second

Indeed

Thought that lead might have been a bridge to far for the Panthers but it's game on now...…..I smell a golden point maybe

i <3 Kikau

 

[Boats n Hoes]

Fuck I wish we had a Kikau…...

 

[Coops]

Hmmm I see Wallace is hanging in the backline. Coincidence?

 

[Rizzah]

What a try
