A quick rinse

[Since 73]

Is Flanno watching our games?
Is the cooling off period for Atko passed - surely that's going through his head.
An impact player with zero impact.
Has had 10 weeks to show last year wasn't a one year wonder.
Comes on with tired forwards and has not made one break, set up one play, put a quality kick in or...well, anything else.

Changing of the guard.
Finally.
Ramiens no longer our best centre.
Burns is not going back to Newtown.
Will Tieg and Nikora soon be playing off for the other side?
JCs not going back either.
Either Burns or JC at 13 and mcplod to starting 9 has a nice look.
Both can pass, both are faster than a turtle and Burns now has a kicking game.

 

[shadowboxer]

Newtown struggled last week v Parramatta and this weeks effort sounds diabolical. Sharks benefitting. Not surprised by JC but Burns taking the opportunity and running with it.
You throw Tongan fish man and Wilton back in - gives coach some head ache. Hell Sifa is out as well
Keep building quietly.

 

[Ozzi_78]

McInnes can’t pass anymore. Brailey is also killing it. Just dump the captain imo.

 

[ragzouken]

Captain played prop for abit, atko was playing link boy, McInnes should be played prop, he has been good but has his limits, let him play first stint 13 then bring the real 13 on and have him switch to prop, Atkinson looks horrible, can’t believe saints signed him as a savior. I want Billy on the bench instead of him tbh

 

[shaggs]

Billy starts only. He is an 80 minute grinder.
He needs to be there to work hard and bring that flash every now and then

True watching the replay loved his game even more absolutely fed Garrick, went in hard every tackle smashed back fence brown, has abit of grub about him and big iq, was always setting himself up in good spots when attacking. Absolutely led that left edge. Abit like badly used to for the roosters to be honest.

I thought teig was starting to turn a corner though this year but I can’t remember teig ever influencing a match.

 

[bluefox68]

How about this for full strength:

1. WK
2. TTF
3. Noodles
4. KL
5. Ronnie
6. Tricky
7. Nicho
8. Hazelnut
9. Brails
10. AFB
11. Teig
12. Nikora
13. JC

14. McInnes
15. BHU
16. OK
17. Talakai

18. Burns

Am I missing someone?

19. Stonestreet
20. Toby
21. Hiroti

 

[Since 73]

Anyone in Newtown who can play on the wing?
I dont want another week of seeing Stonestreet crumpled like a tissue when running the ball back.
Dude can finish a try. Can poke his tongue out.
But everything before that isn't first grade material - and I doubt he ever will be at a top 8 club.

Bellamy will be plotting a miserable 80 minutes next week for Sam.

 

[Peach & Apricot]

Ramien might lose his centre spot to Talakai at this rate.

 

[Chimp]

Thankfully, we were good enough to win the game twice.
And maybe it’s a sign of growth that we managed to regain momentum when it’s was looking odds on like a bed shitting.
Nicho was terrific. Billy absolutely belted them all game, and then threw in some magic.
We were easily the better team all game bar 5 mine after they scored a freak try.

 

[Surely]

Ramien might lose his centre spot to Talakai at this rate.

You mean the guy who ran for 176m and had 58 post contact metres will lose his spot to a part time centre

Lolz

 

[carinashark]

Mc Inness is done and we should send Atkinson back to The Jets. It’s the lack of impact. They both are playing hard but the new guys are knocking on the door.

Don't disagree, but McInnes gives us some flexibility if there is an injury to a half or hooker

 

[Russell Crowe's Band]

we whacked the last captain
cant be that hard


we dont need the leadership anymore theyve all een there ages

He doesn't give us anything Hohepa can't give.
Once Sifa's back, I'd prefer he start at 13 and Hohepa took his bench spot.

Never going to happen though.

We've got another 18 months of McIneffective and SFB will never strip him of the captaincy, let alone drop him for a better option.

Agreed, forgot about him.
