R15 vs Newcastle Jets | Sun 17 Jan | 7:00pm | SS4

Everybody on this team wants to be the playmaker, nobody is there just to simply put the ball in the net the way I see it

David Carney can go eat a dick!

Stiff competition from Matt Simon, Mitch Nicholls and Leigh Broxham but yeah he just about takes the gong.

Early on in the game when he fouled Fox (IIRC?) 2 or 3 times and then fell over and got the call down the left shows what his plan is. When possible go to ground and pressure the ref.

Can we brighten up the mood a bit by playing a bit of a game. Who's got a good haiku to portray the Phoenix' first half performance? 

We are still short of our best side but I did expect a lot more from the side today. Nobody want to take the game by the scruff of the neck, and many of the senior players appear to be cruising. Lucky not to be 4 down. If we can get a quick goal this Jets side might fold.

On this performance we are light years away from the top six.

yes if he can stay there..too often he seems to be out wide right.

Yep need leadership from Roly Riera and Mikey...we're going to get kicked around up front. Need to overcome and turn the momentum around...There's no confidence out there.

Doyle on for Gulley - spoonage!.

It is quite strange. After that excellent backs-to-the-wall effort last week we suddenly seem to have no ticker for a fight.

Mcglinchey has lost whatever he had.

A game we should win

The Jets have two we have none

second half go Nix

Now back to the game!  COYN.

Where was this kind of urgency in the first half!?

Roly and A Rod back in this week...

0 width

Powell doing a C-grade Burns impression

except on Roly

We finally have someone running wide and Roly goes for the long shot. Sigh

he has a habit of thinking he is the only one who can win it...

Boom boom gone..

Dura will get one week..

Yep, bugger off

Agree with Harper (?) there.  There was absolutely no need for Durante to come in like that.

lets hope we do better than round 1 when we played against 10 for 15 minutes.  Pass it quicker guys and create space

Dura really needs to shut the shark up at times 

Appoiah shoudl now come on for Wee Mac and run at them..and pass to Powell.

To be fair to Dura, he must get very frustrated seeing his best player getting chopped time and time again

However he isn't going so well this season, and it is showing

I don't think they consistently play well together..and Im not convinced A Rod helps when all three are on the park.

who went off for Appiah?

A Rod went off

Good by Appiah there. Finally someone tries to go outside Hoffman

really...

Stop watching Valeo

God we are terrible.

brb, going to go kill myself

bad movie

Wow that is absolute fudgeing rubbish. 11 v 10 and Carney just strolls through.

unlikely to score 3...even if they had 9 players.
