[TheGrizz]

Wright ****ing had that, Francis

 

[Pleasedonot]

How many times are Francis and Wright going to spoil each other before they realise what's happening?

 

[citizen-erased]

 

[doug85]

Let’s not have Shiel back in the team please

 

[the PILL]

FMD... Is there something in Shiels contract that allows him 5 spud ups a game...

 

[frodos gardener]

Moronic

 

[Beerfish]

half time margin

 

[fairbump_playon]

Oh boy

I hate myself for wanting us to win this game

 

[Wahooti Fandango]

Pathetic by Shiel.

 

[Pleasedonot]

Geez between this and the Lions-Eagles game it's wall to wall champagne footy

First game together all season really.
To be expected

 

[BomberManU]

Effort is pretty good, still can't stop the easy transition though. Lucky the siren went then

 

[Donakebab]

Look, didn't expect to be in the game before the outs, then we got smashed at the 11th hour.

Some real frustration tonight, but surprisingly we're still in it. I'll take it.

 

[mike14]

I know we're short staffed but it would be great to swap Francis with someone down back

 

[Runk]

Pathetic by Shiel.

More of the same. Unbelievably bad.

 

[BOMBERROB2000]

****ing joke Merrett, Parish and Heppell all getting possessions and doing nothing with them ****ing laughable..!!!

 

[Squeaky]

Do you ever see Hawkins and Cameron contesting in the same pack?
Why did Frang spoil Wright in the square?
Does my flipping head in!!!!

Easy transition is coming from our turnovers at the moment.

 

[kelvin_sheedy]

People seriously getting worked up by a snap on the non preferred by Shiel. Lol

Agreed, Reid forward

Francis has no forward craft and understanding.
Literally just flies at everything with no understanding of what is needed.

In the last 15 seconds Wright had a 1v1 in the goal square against a guy literally 10cm shorter than him, and Francis flies anyway and ends up spoiling Wright.

Close to the most basic player on our list. Got to know the situation better than that.

 

[Blind Turn]

How is it that I was squinting at my iPhone whilst half watching a show with the kids and I still managed to see Bryan get his foot to the ball yet the blind maggot 2 metres in front of him said he dropped it? I had to rewind the footage to make sure and now I’ve got no idea what this show is about that I’m supposed to be tuned into…

 

[ant555]

Skill level has been pretty poor.
Ham getting flamed on his wing.

 

[biglaycock]

Getting torched out of the middle, centre clearances are 12-4.

Credit to Lynch and Newcombe they almost single handedly walking it out every time
