On the plus side

[SeaEagleRock8]

There's usually such a thread after a loss but I couldn't see one so here it is.
Can't actually think of anything to put in it though. Might think of something later 🙂

I’ll help you, I haven’t read any other comments but can imagine what the general consensus would be

Not downcast at all after that game, we had 10 players unavailable with obviously a few of those being key players

Where I take the big positive, is that’s all we have heard recently isn’t about blowouts and how momentum can’t be stopped etc. For me that is all rubbish, and comes down to what the teams have under the left tit

What I saw from min 20-65 when the Raiders had 75-80% of the ball, and pretty much all in attacking positions, is that we didn’t give up at all and defended well. All that ball against us and the big guns aren’t there, and with 7 mins to go we were still in with a chance to come back and win. Not many teams currently can provide that narrative

The character the team showed in conceding so many resets and possession was good. We were undone by our inability to diffuse their grubber kicks and we gifted them a couple of very soft tries on the back of our fatigue.

I think it would be a different conversation if Parker had scored to make it 8-0. That to me was the turning point of the game. They got a 7 tackle set and we did not see the ball for the next 15 minutes or so.

Good points!
Here's one, we are back under the radar. Lot of pundits really talking Manly up over the past week, Jamie Soward even rated us above Penrith. This'll shut the bastards up.

There were two positives for me:
1. Seeing Jurbo on the sideline playing ballboy
2. Seeing The Shoe on the other sideline playing ballboy.

Seeing the shoe get grass cut during the Parker disallowed try 🤣

Positives for me:
1 - If we have 50% possession we win that game.
2 - The Raiders had a hell of a lot of luck with the bounce of the ball.
3 - We will probably not field a team that weak again this year.

Thought Olakau'Atu was very good in both attack and defence, Lawton also solid also....Foran had moments...Paseka made a couple good runs and tackles...keppie, well tackled hard but a few dumb 6 agains at vital times and the BEST play of the night imo, was the short ball from Marty to Sipley who burst through and if found Foran, we would have had agame, but Marty ordinary including letting in some soft pies....'That's all folks"

We were crap, with another really badly selected team, but:
7 minutes to go, 8 points down and Garrick knocked over by 2 Faders right in front of referee and blindsman, who ignore it. End of our momentum.

Cannot wait for next Tuesday's team list .

Cannot wait for next Tuesday's team list .

I can, more of the same I reckon

The positive , the first game for me for a month where I could comment live.

The next positive , some nice cold tap beer ( first for a long time ) and some fresh local Barra for dinner at the Sunset Tavern in Karumba.

We’ll be back , don’t you worry!!!

I think it's best for the team if you go out bush again...

That is a fair point, in the sense that we got lapped 3 times in the first month but ever since then we have either won or at least been within striking range until the final minutes.

The bad news is I’m back mainstream again from next Wednesday.

Not home ( in fact far from it ).

Yeah I know it’s a bugger isn’t it !!

On the plus side that should be the end of jetski the menace

What I saw is that even a busted clock tells the correct time twice a day.

That busted clock is otherwise known as the Canberra Raiders.

Normal Sea Eagles’ transmission will resume shortly.

 

[Eaglehauser]

On the plus side, regardless of some dumb plays and handling errors we were in with a chance 6 minutes to go, We had a roll on and if the ref gave the penalty for Garrick being taken out I think we would have scored and only 2 points down with about 5 mins to go - momentum might have got us home, they would definitely have panicked.

Despite Paseka being on report, and speculation Marty was too, there were no charges by the MRC.

That's a big plus as, if we'd lost Paseka as well as possibly Sips, we'd be in even bigger trouble next week!

Just more reasons why the Bunker is a blight on the sport.
