Match Discussion: Round 6 vs Wests Tigers @ Campbelltown Sports Stadium, Leumeah / Dharawal

[macavity]

Lucas will be at left centre next week. Manu might get the starting left edge spot. It's a blood bath for De Courcey and has been from the first minute. Realistically Holbrook should have already hooked him, but the game is a lost cause so maybe not worth the confidence blow to the kid.

Not sure getting another 6 tries put on you is going to be great for confidence either.

Who we got on the bench?
Sorry but DeCourcey can’t stay out there.

No backs at all??? Wtf you doin, Justin?

 

[aqua_duck]

De courcey has to be hooked. I haven’t been this pissed about a centre since 2004 George carmont.

You confident in Cant and Gamble to do the job?
De Courcey hasn’t been great but Marzhew is caught in no man’s land more of than not

 

[ryan.a87]

Can Gamble play centre?

otherwise Lucas to centre and Cant to 2nd row

 

[macavity]

Hunt to centre, Sharpe to FB and Gamble to 6

 

[perverse]

Put Cant in at centre and Graham can play out the match at hooker.

Lucas to centre and Cant/Anyone into back row for mine. Has to happen, can't do that for another 40.

Hunt to centre, Sharpe to FB and Gamble to 6

Hunt can’t defend at centre either. Would just f**k with both of their confidence

I don’t care what the next combo is, what de courcey did in that first half is unacceptable.

 

[Walk On Home Boy]

Tends to happen when you dominate contact, the ruck and possession. And target the kids. De Courcey has directly cost us... most of those points to be honest. He's nowhere near ready for this level of footy.

Yeah, he's a mile off. Last week he came on when the side was playing well and the opposition weren't. Made him look better. I'm sure Holbrook has learned something today.

For real though, I'm tired of the annual April Bradman Best 6 week injury. Has he ever played a full season?

 

[The Axe of Druss]

Tigers have run for 1100m compared to Knights 500m lol

That right there is why it's 28-4

 

[Loose Cannon]

“De Course In” has been found out as his 45 minute career would suggest was possible. Marzhew is not the ideal defensive partner to accommodate.

Can someone send a search party out for Trey Mooney please. If he could take a few runs in the second half that'd be swell.

Ok mate we get it. You don’t like him.

It’s his first proper season in FG and he’s playing as a starting prop.

No I do like him, I want him to play like he can - but I'm calling what I'm seeing on the field. He's got his pats on the back when he's played well too don't worry.

Forgot he was out there tbh

“what he can” you’re measuring from his NSW cup performances with a few FG games scattered in.

Adjusting to week in week out NRL for a prop, especially a starting one is tough. He’s still adjusting to the pace.

He's been completely MIA for 2 weeks now. That's not inexperience. He's not looking for work. There's nowhere to hide in the front row.

I don't disagree at all, and today is one of those days he's getting a bit of a touch up and needs to learn from it. He hasn't been good in the first half. He'll get a shot to respond this half hopefully.

I can rate the bloke and also call out he had a shit half, surely?

 

[Woody90]

It’s fairly obvious he’s struggling to adjust to the pace of playing week in week out FG. He looks gassed a lot of the time.

Well looks like Lucas has gone to left centre and Cant at left back row
