Round 17 - Sydney away

[JoyfulPenguin]

Wales has been terrific, matching Danny's quality and has been outstanding as a 10. Josh Rose has been terrific, his best half since returning, Sydney look old and slow. Wales, Appiah and Powell during a terrific job defensively pressuring and blocking off pacing lanes. Melling and Hiariej need to be a bit stronger defensively but have been terrific on the ball. Golec's interceptions having been fantastic and our entire back line is recycling the ball very, very well.

Scoreline could easily be 3-2 our way. Lot of opportunities in this game. Too many to feel good about.

SFC getting a lot more control, Hoole looks intimidated by Wilkshire. Appiah... if he could just cross and knew when to shoot

If Appiah did know how I don't think we could afford him!

 

[Pirate Pete]

Yep, he'll be feeling terrible. But bar one other pass he's been awesome.

Ivan Jolic ran on the pitch to have a word with Lachie as the teams were coming off.
Hope he can put that behind him.

They're going to come out all guns blazing, we have no option we have to go up another gear as well. If they get one, I think the flood gates will open. God I hope Tom can last till past 70 at least.

 

[Timmah]

Timely reminder we still have DDS to come on. Will be interesting to see how Skapetis goes too

Wales has been terrific, matching Dannying maybe teh same volume 's quality and has been outstanding as a 10. Josh Rose has been terrific, his best half since returning, Sydney look old and slow. Wales, Appiah and Powell during a terrific job defensively pressuring and blocking off pacing lanes. Melling and Hiariej need to be a bit stronger defensively but have been terrific on the ball. Golec's interceptions having been fantastic and our entire back line is recycling the ball very, very well.

I thought defensively Melling is killing it. Tom is not doing the same volume as usual though it seems.

Just think SFC were starting to get too much time in the middle then. Big half ahead.

God I love that post Timmah.

He has been very good tackling wise, though his positioning has been a bit off at times though that might be him trying to help out McGing.

Sydney throwing everything at us. Feels like it's a matter of time. Hope I'm wrong

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

i think that should have been a penalty

 

[Spacks]

Think Appiah should have passed it too Hoole instead of going for glory. 0 teamwork.

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

of course they score minutes after we should have had a penalty. f***

 

[nebakke]

Well there it is. Now wtf is the VAR for Bujis?

 

[adz]

f**k that

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

I thought in the first half we played really well. At least as good as Sydney.
Difference is, everytime SFC get near the box they look like they can score. We don't.

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

Imagine if that penalty shout went the other way. We all know what would have happened with the VAR.
That was just gutless refereeing.

 

[nebakke]

Wales seem to cop a lot with no support from the ref.

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

f**k me brosque is a cheating scumbag. Nice dive there. Far from the first dive that lowlife prick has taken either.
Thought the ref was doing well in the first half. But I've made that mistake before..

 

[Timmah]

8.4 for Brosque on that dive. Might earn him a Comm Games call-up.
