Match Discussion: Round 1 vs North Qld @ Allegiant Stadium, Paradise / Las Vegas NV

[Walk On Home Boy]

We still can't get Best any good ball. It's sad seeing him used as a battering ram in mid-field.

I know everyone loves Young and lost their shit when he went to the roosters but he’s done imo. His stint there ruined his confidence and a lot of pace. Hasn’t come back the same player

Yes I was just thinking our best outside back has barely fired a shot yet.

Agreed, but gotta give him a good chance to find it. I do think it's just a confidence thing.

The pack held up better than I expected. D.Saf the best prop on the field.

That's pretty impressive considering he doesn't play for either club

 

[Rod]

On Brown, just ok so far but how nice to have someone who can actually kick the ball long.

 

[The Axe of Druss]

We forget that Young had a bad foot injury during the Roos tour and has had bugger all preseason

He'll come good as he gets fitter imo

 

[Apey]

Young looks either slow or unwilling to back himself.

Besides the Sharpe injury, 12 all at half time, I'll take it.

 

[Woody90]

Agreed, but gotta give him a good chance to find it. I do think it's just a confidence thing.

For mine the concern is the obvious loss of speed as that was really his only great asset. He’s had an injury but sometimes that does permanently impact speed a lot of the time (kinda like KP but he’s got other skills to make up for it).

Also a fair point, just have to wait and see

I’ve been impressed with Brown tbh

 

[Knight Tales]

We are going to see if our new coach can make adjustments rather than rinse and repeat, like the last one. And by adjustments I mean keep attacking their left with different formations.

 

[Woody90]

I’ve gotta say, I was very impressed with what the spine was doing before Sharpe’s injury. None of them were really playing traditional 1/6/7 roles but it seemed to be working. Hopefully Sharpe’s not out for too long so the spine can keep developing together. It was never going to click right away.

Gotta give him a chance mate, he's too much of a weapon at his best to chuck him in the bin this early. See how he's going in a month or two.

 

[Walk On Home Boy]

Young lost pace, or not backing self there?

Yeah, don't like the way he didn't back himself a couple times. He's big and fast. Looked timid.

 

[Tom155]

Caught a break can we do anything with it?

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

Probably should have taken the 2 there...

Lol derp. Whatever his name is, he's going well.

Agreed.
