I'll make one only slightly negative comment,no point having Hastings AND Brown on the bench.It maybe only temporary until Lussick is back,but Hastings only played a couple of minutes and Brown not much more

They weren't needed as Ferris has made us the fittest team in the comp. Anyone who thinks we are not fit is a complete fool. And I think Barrett was too scared to change anything. Didn't want to put a mock on.

Yep, fitness was an issue last year. They said they changed things in the off season and it has worked. Fitness is on point in my book.

BUT, do we sack Barrett yet @strone33 ??

Its ok. I started the mandatory thread to sack him

That's why a bigger body is needed.Brown came on and played dummy half,basically the position Hastings would play.No point wasting a player just for emergency situations.But they won so that's all that matters

 

[court83]

it's be on foxtel again later or you can download it. Google hd sports video down load and click the rugby link it'll be up tomorrow most probably. 1st half was flawless

Will have to suss it out... Esp the dce/turbo try before half time...abc grandstand had it as the try of the year... So keen to see. Typical of me tho, turn any team i support on in any sport and they go to sh$t LOL

Since yesterday?

Oohh maybe

 

[Blucky]

Soooo wondering how Greenturd is going to try and derail us this time. I'll personally fly down to Sydney and drop a turd on his desk if I see anything remotely looking like his fix.

Oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please . . . .

I agree. Hasting stays for mine when lussick returns. Want too see him with a little more game time.

I suspect the reason both are on the bench at the moment is due to a serious lack of depth.The reggies are very poor

 

[ManlyTragic]

Yeah but so far this season we have had 2 losses and one win.....so we a due a WIN

Told you so !!!

 

[EaglesDontTweet]

I thought that Sironen looked comfortable tonight alternating between an attacking ball distributing forward and a defensive line player.

 

[Simonmyers11]

For the biggest change has been the structured defence and fitness. We can now hold our goal line and also repell repeat sets, where as in the past we woukd cave it. We have built confindence from that and whole team playing as a unit. All comitted

 

[Ralphie]

Just finished watching the game. Great result & full credit to all. 2nd half a bit ragged but awesome result.

Optimism returns.

 

[Midnight Rambler]

I don't know what to say? I mean we were unbelievable today. DCE...I take my hat off to you. Without getting ahead of ourselves, we played like a top 4 side...right?????
Maaaaaaaaaaaaannnnly

 

[The Royal Soup]

BUT, do we sack Barrett yet @strone33 ??

Yes of course we do

He's still a numpty that can't coach

Des might be free soon

 

[Brissie Kid]

Our NRL media at its hopeless best.

a lovely short ball gifted Curtis Sironen his first NRL try in a maroon-and-white jersey.

What a marvel.

 

[eagleron]

Very muchly a "Manlyesque" performance today.

To be honest, the zero makes me happy in the pants even more so than the 36 😀

I might pop on over to The Kennel and watch the wrist slashing. There might be a mob forming with flaming torches and pitch forks.....Des could be in trouble lol

They're going off and Des isn't being spared, I love it they all expected the dogs in a canter
