Canterbury Cup and Jersey Flegg matches to be played at Panthers Stadium, Penrith NSW
Our 7 & 22 is an unbelievable differential under him compared to our overall record. There is nothing for other teams that even comes close - he is clearly biased against us.
i personally would not have changed the team at all from last week despite someone like Maloney coming back from suspension and on the refs, only way to take them out of the game is to score more points than the other mob, don’t give away dumb penalties and shut your mouth other than the Captain making points to the refs…not insulting them.
Of all games this is a must win, we need to win and move away from the teams below us on the ladder.
We have a good record against Broncos although this is not the side they would have thought they would have earlier in the year, much like us really.
my understanding is that Burton could only play last week via an exemption [Maloney being out]. In any case, whilst he made a good debut, if we are to win tonight, more than likely Maloney will be a major contributor - he mostly finds some way for us to win, somehow
SBF - re Maloney, I hope you’re as good as your word.
I don’t know if Maloney will win us the game, but I will do him the courtesy of recognising hi status as a professional who will give his best until his contract is up. I think he’ll be invaluable over the rest of the season and - if we make them - the finals.
Whare is back at centre tonight, replacing Crichton, who has an ankle injury. I think that will be good for us. I really rate Whare. He hasn’t been in great form but, in Brisbane against the Broncos, I’m happy we have a bloke renowned for his defence at centre, rather than 2 rookies.
Edwards did a lot of dummy half & was up in the line til tackle 4 last week. It got him involved & put him in good position for support play off Cleary. Will be interested to see if that happens again tonight.
I am not prepared to blame Maloney, for mine our issue is he is a class above, by that I mean he plays to fast for a mediocre team, not sure how he will go outside a team who is at their peak. All of his success has been at superior “team” environments, blokes playing for each other. We however have too many 5 minute heroes.
You must be related to Maloney and your comment of he being being too good for a mediocre team is…well an insult
The “mediocre” team did alright without him last week didn’t they?
Whare proved he is not NRL material tonight as did Mansour who was terrible but again they were not alone
That being said the Broncos were awful which only points to how bad we were.
And calls went against us like the Milford “trip”…the 7 swinging arm on Edwards and gets the bin…but despite the rough calls we were bloody awful
And Maloney was awful…did he kick for the sideline once like Burton did?
Burton had options…Maloney had ZERO and was terrible in defence again!
