Rumoured Targets 3

[Burwood]

Should organise a player swap- Ross for French. Give Ross the opportunity to further develop his instagram/twitter partnership with Gutherson.

I feel like we desperately need someone like French in our back line. We’ve gone from having players who can create points in Boyd, Leilua, Uate and Gagai to Sione, Ross, Sio, SKD, Denniss. Our back line has always been the club’s strength, but it has gone seriously downhill the last few seasons.

 

[Spot On]

Ponga, SKD, Pearce, Ramien, Lee and Watson are a far cry from above. Add Moga (if possible for more than a few games) and we're much better than above.

French scores most of his tries playing wing.

Id like to see skd play centre if moga isn't fit, but brown doesn't seem to want to go there.

4.Tautau Moga
5.Shaun Kenny Dowell
6.Kalyn Ponga
7.Mitchell Pearce

9.Danny Levi

11.Lachlan Fitzgibbon
12.Aiden Guerra
13.Herman Ese'ese

14.Connor Watson
15.Tim Glasby
16.Daniel Saifiti
17.Sione Mata'utia

and in no order:

18.Jacob Saifiti
19.Mitchell Barnett
20.Nathan Ross
21.Josh King
22.Luke Yates
23.Mason Lino
24.Jamie Buhrer
25.Sam Stone

French and 2 FG standard FRFs and we're in a good position to push for a finals berth (barring injuries)

So who then plays wing

 

[SamSepi0l]

Big no to French.

Undersized, weak backs are the last thing we need.

Can't see how Saifiti deserves to be benched after his performances due the second half of the season. He'd be one of the first names on the team sheet for mine. He was immense.

 

[Spot On]

Takes him 14 weeks to get fit???

 

[Burwood]

I’ll admit to only watching with about 70% interest, but it wasn’t until the 73rd minute of the grand final that I’ve heard Glasby’s name mentioned.

I’ll admit to only watching with about 70% interest, but it wasn’t until the 73rd minute of the grand final that I’ve heard Glasby’s name mentioned.

To be fair he’s probably one of the guys least likely to get his name mentioned on Chanel 9’s coverage given some of the naratives going on around this game.

Also the whole Storm team basically failed to turn up tonight so not like Glasby was alone in having minimal impact.

 

[EdLondon]

He went ok. Don't know the stats but he was handy in a fairly average side tonight. Takes the tough runs but doesn't make much impact. Bit like Tolar but doesn't turn his back.

10. Tim Glasby 3
Like his front-row partner, struggled to impose himself on the game. Three hit-ups for 18 metres.

[Zoidberg]

Optimist in me says Roosters winning without Pearce will inspire him to try and prove something next year

Eeekk. Not a good look.

 

[Haffa]

He’s been producing those sort of numbers all season

 

[SamSepi0l]

Nope.

Not even close.
Last night was the third time he's run less than 50m in his last 47 games.

 

[Haffa]

Last night was the third time he's run less than 50m in his last 47 games.

He’s averaging 78m per game. Push that ceiling number from 50 to 60 and what are we looking at? He has 5 games out of 29 with more than 100m.

His last 4 games have been 55, 56, 66 & 18.

He’s a 40-70m a game forward. Very average.

rattle off kings stats, glasby definitely an upgrade

 

[Yosh]

He isn't just a metre eater is he? I thought we were bringing him in because he had more to offer than that. If he is purely a mature eater and those are his average stats, we are gonna be in trouble.

Not arguing that at all.
