nice run at the end there, pity it didn't end with a try
Because the Blues stopped playing once they got 30 points ahead. No real credit in scoring after the game is over.Originally Posted by Jules
Yep last year was the anomaly. So Farking frustrating year in year out.
I think Hodgo needs to ask the ref to tweak all the Force players nipples. At least then they can take some pleasure out of being screwed.
It ended with the Usual Suspect kicking away possession in the last minute of the match. Again.

anyone but Scott?
I wonder why Tony Jones so thoroughly researches the birth places of all the Force players so he can point out the ZA born ones? Never bothered with Kane Koteka. Happy to just point out his Oncle is an All Black. Never heard him enlighten us with the birth places of all the players in the NZ franchises. Spooky
Badger needs a rest. For gods sake give Mitch Scott a crack!
Funny, I thought exactly the same thing listening to the commentary...I wonder why Tony Jones so thoroughly researches the birth places of all the Force players so he can point out the ZA born ones?

Bloody hopeless. Watching the Hurr - Crus game the points come from running - not phase after phase not kicking the ball back to the opposition - just plane running and passing. Use the back line. The sooner the the coach sees that his game plan is not working the sooner I will again have that feeling of hope.

Exactly. they got out a pretty healthy lead in the first 30 mins, then cruised home from there. Our defence throughout that game really was terrible, but the predictable, slow attack was worse.
How many other teams have you seen win a lineout on the oppo 10m line, go through 17 phases only to drop it or turn it over just inside the 22. I have watched most games this season and i would say every team has a better attacking structure than us, by some margin.
It is tough, because i do appreciate what they are doing with all the WA players coming through. I suppose we just have to suffer through this re-building after the re-building phase.
Just glad i didn't wake up at 5am to watch it.
Did you notice how many times the Blues kicked? No nor did I! No more than 5 times I would guess!
How come we can play when the chips are down? Even if the Blues did take their foot of the pedal. Passes were crisper, quicker people running onto the ball with intent.
Sorry this will piss of some but the best part of that game was the END.
May the FORCE be with you!
The questions we should be asking are...what is going on behind the scenes? Where is their mindset? Certainly wasn't on making tackles properly.
What is different from last year?
And here is food for thought...why is no one calling for Foleys head after 10 straight losses? There are no rumours of player discontent, board not happy etc. This says to me the players are taking a lot responsibility for the performances or the organisation is good at keeping problems in house.
Disclaimer: I fully support Foley as our coach.
Do you have to be that shallow that you can only bring up a commentators comments as demeaning towards the force
The positives are when they play what is in front of them they are competitive
This tells me the game plan is wrong which leads to foley and his brains trust
The only ones who rave about foley are eastern staters like phil kearns and marto and his mates
He has had enough time to produce and fails consistently
He bailed on nsw quickly before he was found out and failed to achieve much with the wallabies as a technical coach as the scrum hadn't been competitive for years
The cane toad needs to go
I thought the cane toad to go was RG!
