Final Q of game vs Lions....

Post: # 1065395Post Richter »

.... it was the second tier players that won it for us.

Just watching it again on the replay

These players stood up and won it for us....

Ray
Schneider
Steven
Dempster
Armitage

Good to see the second tier puling us over the line. If we want to get back in to contention then it's going to need every player to lift, not just the stars playing better or hoping a young 'un will magically appear

First quarter of the year I've actually been happy with.

I'm really hoping that quarter is a turning point for us - Ross has made mention of it in quite a positive light.

Could be the 30 minutes in which the Saints machine awoke from it's slumber.

Highlighted that in the Ray thread Richter, if people want to know where our improvement will come from this year...

It will be these guys stepping up, nicely complimenting the other guys when they return to form.

Absolutely. These blokes are the link players, the continuity providers at the club. They, and others like them - Dawson, Fisher, Gwilt - need to provide the consistency to allow the elite to gel and the younger players a chance to step up.

Probably need to contact your ISP.

First time I've laughed today (generally not a day for laughing). Well done, there's hope yet.

I think the problem is we have way too many 3rd tier players to bother the real top teams this year....


Will we pick up a player in the SSP window :?:

West Coast Game Revisited

Post: # 1065511Post oh when »

The match reminded me of the West Coast game last year when the tide was against us and the next goal would have ended our season - we scrambled the next goal to keep us in the game.

On Thursday when we hit the front in the last qtr I thought we controlled the rest of the match and did not look like we were going to lose.

I was pretty disappointed with our rucks and midfield for most of the game, and although RL obviously put a rocket up a few players at three quarter time, I just want to see a bit more head over the ball..too much receiving for my liking. McQ and Jones were as effective as any of our others in the last quarter.

good to see Jonesy back playing well and thought Dempster was terrific in that last quarter (seemed forward?) - just watched the replay myself and we really should have blown them out, missed four very gettable goals.

thought the commentary a national embarrassment

It seems like the last qtr is where the sub rule is really going to have a huge effect with players running out of puff. Interesting to note that fisher thinks the team is fitter than it has been in the last few years. Combine that with the tall forwards experiment and maybe RL is going to be one step ahead of the competition again.
