Apparently Payne and Hanbury are being shown the door.

[DG85]

Mullaney, Fifita, Woods and Dwyer all have heaps of potential as well, but potential doesn't mean you throw him straight in the deep end. Especially with Sheens who likes to ease his guys into the NRL (eg: Marshall and what he is doing with Dwyer).

So my question still stands, why do you guys think he should be our starting 7 until he proves himself on and off the field? Taking into consideration he is a 5/8 not a halfback as well.

I dont think Taumata should be in consideration at start- WT had a good working 1/2 & 5/8 combo second half of season- Moltzen (1/2) and Marshall (5/8). I see no reason to change that- at least for the starting portion of the season. My only proviso is that we see what happens in pre-season games.

Gotta chuck em in sometime...only way to see if they sink or swim.
Sheens has shown in the past results mean sfa when hes in his tinkering mood

 

[westie]

The halves combo you're talking about DIDN'T work and won't work. Sure we beat the last placed teams, but we were behind the 8 ball when things got going against a good side in Parra, even though our team is the side to beat theirs with their current focus on attack. Key reason? Lack of direction and attack from players like Moltzen. Aka, a halfbacks job.

 

[TimmyB]

We lost to Parramatta because of goal kicking, not because of Moltzen. Moltzen wasn't even playing half in that match, he was fullback...

You are right,Lui was halfback,and played poorly.

 

[Vic Mackey]

we lost to parra because both our wingers went off injured (you cant factor that into your bench and gameplan), bryce gibbs was a spastic and gave away an 8 point try (we would have still been 6 behind afetr the hayne try, giving us a chance to take it into golden point), benji cant kick for sh*t and 2 flat balls at absolute worst got called back (1 that would have had us attacking 30 out on tackle 1)

i dont see how moltzens, who was named at fullback, halfback play comes into it

 

[Tigers_are_Pro]

Taumata is like a poorer mans Marshall, they have the same instinctual game and pretty much play it as it comes. We're going to need an organizer. Unless Farah organizes from dummy half similar to Smith for the Storm, we'll struggle in games. The problem with Farah organizing however is that we'll probably lose some of his attacking flair in the process. I think Josh Lewis should've been given a shot at the halfback jersey last year, or given Moltzen an extended run of more than 6 games or so.

If we'd have had Benji Reynolds at half things could have been so different ... just ask wastie

 

[westie]

Yeah he might have kicked, organised, passed, run. Something Moltzen and Lui have not and never will do under pressure.

 

[macnaz]

What about Lui? I have a feeling Taumata will be slapped with the bench utility tag and Lui will be the starting five-eighth..

LUI is Crap... Please dont let it happen.

 

[RoMo]

Yep ... Benji Reynolds was a star
The day that turd broke his leg was the day we started our march to the premiership
The 2 wise men were never going to drop the waste of space and we'd have gone into 05 with Benji in the centres

But then westie thinks we'd have won the comp by June if we had reynolds in 05. Who could forget his special performance at dummy half in Rd 1 against parra, whilst Farah was playing for Balmain.

Reynolds' spasticity that evening was only eclipsed by the moron who played fullback when Hodgo went off that westie and his geniused mates in the FWO still soil themselves over

 

[macnaz]

The pre season will be very interesting. Who remembers last year when Gallant, Junior Burger and Hanbury had to battle it out for 3 trials against NRL sides and then when it came to playing against sh*tty Shellharbour B side he ONLY played Moltzen . Then Shines declared Moltzen performed best out of them all and gets the number 1..... Hmmm nicely set up . Wonder what he has in store for us in 2010 ?

Farah played the opening game of 2005 against Parra,scored a long range try as well.

 

[Crippler]

Farah played the opening game of 2005 against Parra,scored a long range try as well.

That was round 7. Farah started the year in reserves and in 1st grade round 3 vs dogs

 

[Vic Mackey]

Farah played the opening game of 2005 against Parra,scored a long range try as well.

farah played round 1 2005 for balmain against western suburbs in premier league. it was the game before the tigers/eels game, i watched the whole thing. balmain won 48-14 or something and farah set up basically every try.

galea started at hooker and ben reynolds relieved him, was an absolute debacle.

 

[RoMo]

Farah played the opening game of 2005 against Parra,scored a long range try as well.

Yes of course he did.
And Fitzy won 3 Dally Ms and was inducted as a RLW Immortal
And Noyce was appointed CEO of Macquarie Bank
Look here you f**king tard, Galea started at hooker and that piece of sh*t ben Reynolds replaced him .Hodgo went off injured and Fitzy played fullback as f**ked and as uselessly as he has played every position he has ever attempted

And, as Vic correctly states, Farah was playing for Balmain. Remember supercoach's numerous press conferences about how he intended to use Galea as starting hooker in 2005 ? Or have you forgotten that as well.

Must be the paint fumes from touching up your FWO banners you complete tard

 

[innsaneink]

Farah scored an early long range try against parra at Parra stadium..think it was 05, Fri or sat niter from memory - another Parra run us down game....seem to recall Fitzy getting absolutely hammered in the game too by someone like Burrrt or Peewee marsh..

 

[The Colonel]

23rd April 2005 - Round 7.

Farah scored twice, omce from dummy half on a long range run.

Parra won by 10.

 

[madunit]

Farah didn't play against Parramatta in Round 1 2005.

Richards and Whatuira scored a try each. Hodgson kicked 2/2 goals, Richards had 0/1.

Ben Galea played at hooker.
