Team list Tuesday - Rnd 1 vs Dogs

[Bazal]

More likely he’s just the least effective of the 3, especially when pre season training reports consistently mentioned Alvaro as the fittest forward in the team.

Even more likely is that RCG is going to be expected to play his role in defence, allowing us to have a more "attacking" option on the bench

Which would be fine if that option was someone other than Penishands TerePillow

 

[Eelementary]

Peni is our longest serving player. He goes well.

He's good for a dropped ball, or two, at crucial times, true...

RCG was signed when merkins were still saying Alvaros work rate and defensive ability were needed in the team. Alvaros work rate and apparent ‘best middle defender’ in the game isn’t needed (or true) because other blokes can do what he does more effectively.

I would have preferred Kaufusi to Terepo.

 

[Bandwagon]

I think only if your within 2 yrs of that otherwise 18.

Nope.

I don't think being dropped for a single game is proof of that, it's indicative at best.

Not even in the 21. There are 8 middle forwards ahead of him (which is pretty telling) RCG , Paulo, Brown, Evans, Niukore, Terepo, Stone and Kaufusi.

This is false. In the last two years how many balls has he dropped. No more then average or perhaps less.

More effectively, or just effectively enough that it allows us to play a more attacking bench?

It should also be noted that Alvaro was in pretty rubbish form last year.

Alvaro still has to contribute on both sides of the ball so on the whole (attack and defence) I would say more effectively.

I know he sets the linespeed in defence etc, but can we sometimes hide reed at wing to give him a breather

Not good for Alvaro if that is the pecking order (albeit only one match)

Injuries, Origin, poor form he may get a crack at some point, needs to make the most of it then

He has played reserve grade every year since 2017. Why is it suddenly 'telling' that other fringe first graders are having their turn in the top 17?

Next to Moses ?

He dropped the ball in our recent trial...

 

[84 Baby]

He dropped the ball in our recent trial...

Lol.
Think he threw a pass that led to another drop (Decore I think)

 

[Glenneel]

Worried about Waqa.

You should be more worried about Terepo.

 

[Glenneel]

Yeah CHN out is handy ..... What did they do? Piss on Pay's car wheels?

Visited a school recently and later took 2 girls back to their hotel room. Both overage but no mention of them having sex with them (innocent until proved guilty). But still stood down, not sure what crime they have committed even if they did have sex?

 

[Glenneel]

We generally don't play well against sides up against it, missing key players

Dogs by 6

Not the wet blanket Parraboy. Most negative merkin on this site.

 

[Glenneel]

Coffs last time .... they love the whole mid north coast

Well every school girl there at least.

 

[Glenneel]

I assume the girls were either 18 or nothing sexual happened otherwise the police would be involved.

Age of consent 16 in Australia, 18 in USA.
