Game day vs Balmain and the The Western Suburbs of Sydney

[Weaponhead]

Looked much sharper with Soggy at DH. Brailey was slow with no run threat

 

[Frenzy.]

Lovely play from the Sharks there, Fifita has offloaded every time he's touched in this spell, Holmes showed good awareness and Ramien is so hard to stop when he is in open space.

Not to mention the 4th tackle run by the old man to get the field position

Thankyou,thankyou,thankyou.

 

[glenmoresharkie]

Thank f**k for that

 

[Inferno]

Not a great win, but an important one.

We always look much sharper with Seggy on. Would like to see him get some time at the end of the first half as well.

I am a fan of Brailey but he is a developing first grader, and Seggy is a seasoned veteran who always threatens, even if he over plays it sometimes.

That old man with his useless hit ups was the best player on the field

Brailey is not doing enough to take heat of forwards. No running and engaging markers enough. He is young but needs to lift

Dare I say it?

He has a little 2nd year syndrome for mine.

 

[Card Shark]

Brailey needs to run from dummy half more.

When he does, he normally makes good metres.

Suppose we were on the backfoot for the whole time he was out there, which makes it a bit harder to do.

He does enough for a hooker whose job is to absorb the initial pressure in the game and keep the team ticking until Seggy comes on when the opposition tires.

Seggy can't play 80, so Brailey would be perfect to start each half. He just isn't being played that way.

He is better than plenty of other hookers in the game with years more experience (Peats, for example, who is an Origin hooker).

I agree it would be nice to see more from him, but he is developing. His running game has improved this year compared to last, and he is better defensively as well.

He has tried a few kicks. I too, would like to see him engage markers more, and kick more, but those will come.

How many times this year have we finished without full compliment, we seem to be getting fair share of injuries and HIA

Yep. Not much luck this year. But we are still thereabouts.

We will need some luck to make a run in the finals (all teams do) so hopefully we are getting rid of all our bad luck right now (I know it doesn't actually work like that...)

I think Williams did enough today to now be ahead of Ava in the 17

He showed plenty of energy, again. Looks a likely prospect.

May not be up to the week to week grind yet (even with limited minutes)

I have been a critic of Val, but he is improving in the fullback role, he is now getting in position in attack, even the offload to Ramien he was thinking on his feet.

The defence still needs work, thats the hardest area to work on
