Round 7 v Dolphins (Darwin)

[Oldpanther86]

People catching up that Tago needs that 14 spot. Fantastic to see

Never disagreed. Just pointed out Ivan won't do it.

I've been on that bus for about 2 years. It wouldn't solve the issue around how much cap he takes up, but with the other backline options we have we would at least be getting some kind of return.

It’s not great

No. But aslong as fit at business end. Sounds like rnd 16 and plenty time to get fit for finals.

Lussick is a hand replacement. I thought last night he overplayed things a little and lacked a bit of fitness but between him and Cogger they can do the job.

As far as fullback goes I have a gut feeling Apa Twiddle may end up with you guys. He would be a handy back up to Dylan. Defense needs lots and lots of work but his attack and run game is excellent. Path seems blocked here with Iongi and Joash is back up.

It's fine in concept tago is a damn strong runner and you lose his big weakness his edge defence. Just gotta convince Ivan. The extended bench i guess lets him have everything and put on what he needs.

Playing bum teams like Melbourne has helped

A 2/5 to start the season has me positively rigid.

Twiddle would be an excellent pick up. Hope you’re right.

Lussick will do a job, but he’s not on Kenny’s level.

Tago shouldn't have been "the 14" in previous years but that position doesnt really exist in the way it did previously. Not sure if that's what you're referring to, but Tago has never had had the versatility to be the 4th guy on a 4 man bench.

This year is a different story. I'm not convinced hes has it in him to be a consistent NRL level backrower but given his contract situation and the areas in which our squad needs to evolve he absolutely deserves a shot. For now that probably means a bench role including regular minutes in the backrow while covering the centers, with Cogger/Lussick/Scott still in play to cover 6/7/9.

Who the f is Ava Piddle.

He's better with the ball but obviously way behind in defence

 

[Black Panther]

Farnsworth, Katoa and the Hammer are absolute guns, they will do that to any team.

Stopping them and then finding a way to win is a very hard thing to do.

Why do so many say, “We’ve taken the foot off” when in reality, the other team just played much better.

We aren’t going to smoke every team in this comp. I think we need to give the Dolphins a lot more credit and in turn, be very happy we were able to dig our selves out.

If you are leading by 18-0, you need to be ruthless. We stopped them in the first half, why not the second half?

Apart from the ridiculous conditions it was laziness

The conditions were pretty f**ked and made momentum count for more.

He’s not better with the ball. Kenny’s service is far better. Watch the game from last night and pay attention to the dummy half passing difference between the two.

Kenny is miles ahead.

Disagree but we'll see over the next 2 months.
What we do want to see is Freddy kicking long in the first 10 mins of most games. Just let the opposition know they need to watch him. Will create more space for Yeo and Nathan

It's just a gut feeling. Iongi has a 5yr deal. Joash is on books. And Bamblet coming through. I just dont see a pathway for him at Parra currently so dont see him staying

Because they played better than us for 20mins. Why is that hard to understand?

Hahahaha… you do love to focus on strange things. Don’t worry his shakey passing, because he can launch the odd kick. Great News!

Surely one of the new teams will pick him up. Perth should definitely be looking at him, he can literally play anywhere in the backline.

Yeah having a legit second long kicking option won't effect us at all.....

You're telling us cleary getting charged down isn't part of the game plan? f**k I thought it was some 4D chess from Ivan.
