General NRL 2019 Round 4 - General Discussion

[Rizzah]

M. Moses playing well.

 

[Sup42]

I thought the Sharks would close this one out, that close grinding shit and their forwards.

Para look really good this year. Could be a huge year for them this or next year.

They needed to get daly xerri evans some clean ball, but Shaun Johnson was out unfortunately and Flano is no Shaun Johnson. Plus dugan is average compared to Moylan.

Shaun Johnson out.

NRL 2019: Shaun Johnson out injured as Sharks fall to Eels

Sharks playmaker Shaun Johnson missed the match with a quad injury.

Couldn’t risk him.

 

[Warriors4ever]

At least our halves are injury free so far unlike that new guy for the sharks

Dogs playing well at the moment 20min in. Isn’t it amazing what bringing in youth does and a good game plan. I think a few people have got it bang on with the way Kearney has a bog standard game plan that doesn’t change…………………

 

[Horriors2013]

Watching Kerrod Holland. Scored an excellent try running a great line as a centre. Next opportunity he sends a sweet pass to huge winger Okunbar to score. That's how you play centre Kata!!!!

If we get so low on Soward’s power ranking after crushing the Doggies in Round 1, will Soward drop the Storm down to the bottom if the Doggies beat them tonight?

Was just thinking that. And without Foran. But I think Doggies are just a bogey side for Storm

That's not how Power Rankings work. All teams are linked to a base value (based on their opinion in the preseason). Soward understands it. You are following the stuff.co.nz methodology of rating teams where one off wins suddenly means you are a top 4 team.

Why do all other teams look so much faster than us?

 

[tajhay]

Why do all other teams look so much faster than us?

Because we are slow. And our defence line has a power nap before the attackers get to our defensive line.

This Jayden Okunbor is a pretty big unit. Reminds of Jamal Idris.

 

[Sup42]

Great seeing the underdog giving the Storm a good game.

Come on doggies.

 

[bruce]

Why do all other teams look so much faster than us?

Because ours has bulked up and look like incredible hulks. Just look at CNK when he runs out for the Raiders.

He is a local junior as well. Nigerian father.

 

[bruce]

I have been watching the stats. The Storm defence was definitely below par in the first 20. Maybe like the commentators said they took the Dogs easy. They are grinding back in through although to be fair the Dogs have two important players missing.

 

[bruce]

Storm 34 missed tackles and 28 ineffective tackles ...yet they still win...maybe the 8 - 4 penalty count had something to do with it.

 

[Sledge]

Cracker of a game that was

 

[Mr Bob]

Bullet pass by Kaylan Ponga to the wing.

Beautiful.
