Round 25: Knights v Raiders @ Canberra Stadium

[Jonno]

And we all know Gidley can set up tries and put players in wholes.

For a second read that as "put players in whores" haha.

Not what the game needs

 

[Newcastle Forever]

GUNNERS, how did you rate Bennys performance?

 

[Playmaker06]

I gotta admit Campese kicking game rip us in half !!

 

[lowey]

we did play against 15 men but the 2 blokes in pink made it hard for us

When it comes to short kicking game, I don't rate Mullen much. I think he has to work on that alot more.

Campese when firing, has one of the best in the comp. Consistently finds tries from kicks.

 

[Denno]

Mullen's short chip for Vuna's 2nd try was well executed... what an attractive kick too.

 

[Ms.Nobody]

Yeh, was a classy little kick. He could just do better with grubbers etc.

Like how he set up Howzo last week against Cows... looked so simple. I guess you need the runners to be in the right place too.

But still... something I'd like to see abit more of.

 

[jamesgould]

He sure had a bad game on Monday with his kicks. There was a loping one that got caught on the full by Canberra in the in-goal, no worries ... a few grubbers didn't even find the in-goal.

Maybe hand the attacking kicks to Dureau on Sunday.

 

[Timmy]

I just think Mullo had an off day with his short kicks, he ll pull it together for Sunday.

 

[Denno]

It seems like we concede a lot more tries from grubbers than we score from grubbers. And I'm talking for the past few seasons even. Maybe something the back 3 should work on; reading kicks better and improved positioning.

It's almost like once the kick goes through the defensive line you're just waiting for the opposition to land on it and score.

 

[Ms.Nobody]

Yeh, or more so... how many times do we not get rid of the ball when we have a chance at playing at it.

I agree, as much as i love gidley sometimes hes way out of position at full back. Like he hasnt read the play properly. He was found out a few times against canberra this way.
