Blayke Brailey

[sharkman73]

I've gone soggy on seggy.

Give Blayke the bench spot.

 

[Mr Angry]

We'll the modern day hooker will make 50 tackles, run the team from dummy half, having a kicking and running game and play 80.

Cameron Smith. Jayden Brailey.

or you go with a Cook style, dummy half weapon.Blayke is this type as is Seggy.

We will end up with both.

 

[chewsta]

I'm happy for the brothers to be the future for us, what I was saying is I'm just surprised Seggy has not got a contract anywhere.

 

[Mr Angry]

Agreed

We signed BB long term.
Last couple of years he seems not gone to the next level.

He has been in firsts for a while, they said he was chance of soo level that's not happening.
Completely outplayed by Cook.

Other hookers who came into first grade have gone past him, he is more evolving into what his brother is, where he should be at level of at least Reece Robson if not Harry Grant, and we are stuck with him.

If you listen to Finns Up Podcast, they will explain what they think of Brailey.

Last night we he had 3 back to back crash plays was not what you expect from a high class dummy half

 

[Mr Angry]

Looking less like Cameron every year.

Does not seem to a leadership bone.

 

[DJDL]

He needs a f**king rocket for mine.
Way too complacent and comfortable in his role and, as a result, his development has stagnated.

Bench him and start McInnes.

 

[Frailty]

I mean, hooker is really dependent on the forward pack making metres and quick play the balls. There is already another thread about the pack being dominated and taking away the quick play the balls.

Brailey gets through a lot of defence, and his service from dummy half it fantastic.

 

[Weaponhead]

Brailey is a strange case. On the plus side does his work, good tackling technique, durable. On the minus side his running game isn't dangerous, doesn't create enough inside oppo 20.

Multiple crash plays when on attack is frustrating to watch.

He looks a relaxed type which gives the appearance of complacency at times.

 

[Frailty]

Just for the record, Brailey had the third most try assists for hookers last season with 12. Only behind Grant (17) and Koroisau (13). Next best was Cook and Robson with 9 each.

His run stats were comparable to Koroisau who had a far more dominant pack.

 

[carinashark]

Good point, ‘he has become his brother’. Give McInnes and Berrelle a run.

 

[carinashark]

Or put Connor Tracy at 9.

 

[txta2]

He is inconsistent for a 1st grader, he was horrible on the weekend

 

[Ozzi_78]

Good point, ‘he has become his brother’. Give McInnes and Berrelle a run.

Berrell? Ffs no

 

[Quicksilver]

Need to turn him into a front rower. He does most of the hard work anyway

Oddly enough, I don’t disagree with you here. Bloke has been so used to being a tackling machine over the years it’s hard to break the habit.
The gloss is gone for him. Toby is my meh man. Alot of chat and that’s that

 

[jason taylor]

Berrell? Ffs no

Moroko must play

 

[SharkShocked]

One thing i thought that was massively noticeable at the game, was the speed at which the Rabbits came out of their own end in and around the ruck.

Sure it's great to win the contact and get a quick play the ball off the back of it, but every time they were coming out of their own end the intent and speed was far superior to ours.

Not only that, when Cook goes or even looks to go - there is peole aorund him all the time for when he does go.

Watch Brailey go from DH - absolutely no one within coooe, which has been a problem for a long time, our backing up and expectation of breaks is non existent.

Berrell? Ffs no

Could not agree more he has a shocking pass.
Healey is too young but already better option then Berrell

Marshall king for Dolphins looks a better hooker then Brailey
