Kiraz 18th man is probably worse for us than Burton 18th man. IMO switch Burton to left centre Xerri to right. I am very interested in whether or not Hughes plays and how he goes,

I am amazed with less than 2 minutes to go that a team 6 points behind with less than 2 minutes to go kicks long rather than chip and chase. Not the first time I have seen a play like that. Tits and Des probably deserve the spoon.

I recon that the tough run from were to the end of the season is exactly what the team needs. We have the depth and the squad is in good shape. If we can't finish top 4, we are pretenders. We are lacking semi final experience, intense games against strong teams can be a similar experience...

I agree on the disallowed try, but it was very dumb of Stefano to get in the way like that. I think that he was trying to back up to get onside in case Cleary needed to pass to him. Perhaps turn around and face the direction un which he is intending to run? I think that a NSW win in game 3...

Konstas could even bat 6 just for a few matches, as an attacking opening bat he could bat in most positions. Throwing the bat early against high quality bowling with some assistance in the wicket is high risk. Even if he wants to attack he needs to pick the balls to hit. I suppose that we...

I still think one grafting opener can help the balance of the side in tricky conditions. The rest of the team can attack. I might be too old school not sold on Konstas at 1 and Green at 3. Konstas at 3 and Green at 4 might be better. Konstas and Green wouldn't need to change how they play.

Reserve grade stats. Wilson 157 meters 1 error Rinakama 144 metres 3 errors. Woods 134 meters, 33 tackles 2 misses, 222 kicking metres. Seems like the story of the match was, the outside backs dropped the ball and our forwards racked up a lot of tackles. While they are talented, I have...

I am pretty confident against the Drongos, and pretty confident about the season overall. Panthers pumped reserve grade, but that sometimes happens in reserve grade. Best combo for us is dry conditions and Walsh selected for SOO. Wet conditions Cobbo is more dangerous. Regardless I think...

I still reckon some top order players with a really good eye nick the good balls. Some players seem to have the knack of missing, not all the time, but certain innings. Sometimes 100 starts out with 10 play and misses early. The duck is the guy unlucky enough to hit the ball.

Really great opening bats are often not good enough to nick the good balls. So far 1st innings 1 lbw, 0 bowled. 2nd innings 2 bowled and 1 lbw in 4 wickets. Doesn't seem like the ability to miss would count in the second innings.

I have thought for sometime that we need a traditional solid specialist opening batsman. I didn't see this game, sometimes the ball and deck just do too much. Times like that are when a specialist can leave the ball, play with soft hands, defend ball after ball and rarely look like scoring.

I am happy with the way Cirro uses Galvin. I would also extend Sexton for another year at the right price. I would have liked another big bopper like Hughes on the bench, but that means Marhoney playing 80 mins or someone like Todd or Morrin playing some minutes at lock. My natural...

I think that he caught Burton by surprise, would rather that it happened in this game than a semi or a GF. We regularly rely on Burton to bail us out with a long kick after a poor yardage set. Slow service or Burton being slow to get the kick off are factors. Lots of small errors are why we...

Broncos team selection pretty straight forward. Rinakama, Hughes, Todd/Hoppoi, Morrin For Critter, King, Mann and Burto We have the depth to put a good side on the paddock. Might be our biggest pack of forwards all season. Broncos defence isn't flash. If defend and complete well...

Some of our errors were caused by rushing Panthers defence, and some of our misses great last ditch scramble by them, including just managing to nudge Kiraz into touch. We should beat them next time.
