Both this site and STR are nearly unanimous about giving the younger players a go.That means starting them :roll:
As for Pritchard,well atleast he is capable of making a break!Blind Freddy can see that besides Skandalis and Laffranchi the rest of our forward pack think they are 5/8s!Footballs golden rule is that you must dent the defensive line up the middle before going wide.It`s not just the props job to do this,the second rowers are meant to get in and help ie Morley&Fitzgibbon at the Roosters,Thompson at the Dragons,Puletua at the Panthers,Tallis&Carlaw at the Broncos,Mason at the Bulldogs.

Argue the point FFS!
at least he can make a break
???????

His inexperience could have cost his team the game.....naah it dont suit your argument does it, to argue the point with me.
All you can say is
"at least he can make a break

How old are you?...cmon we wont laugh. 13? :lol: :lol: :lol:

No offence meant but this thready is bloody stupid! To Suggest that Senter and Payten( you are kidding me!!) should be released is stupid to start with. And you wanna replace them wth Roberts , Moa(!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: ) and every single young player we own is not only foolish but incredibly dumb, sorry but its true.

IF we picked a side like that we'd get shot by 70 most weeks, 40 on a good week. Guys like Harrison , Gibbs, Fulton, Roberts and all the others who fit into that category maybe good for their age but they're average first graders at best at the moment.

Im just glad we ahve some guys in here with sense in here, congrats to max, insaneo, MT, B_tiger all you guys who are thinking straight in here, at the end of the day we werent coming 6th for no reason, we maybe struggling as of now, we'll come good though.

Mate.......I dont profess to be an expert at footy...i was an average player, and now Im an even worse spectator....but I do know enough to know that you DO NOT put in rookies into the top grade before theyre ready....unless you wanna almost certainly ruin a bright prospective career.
You DO NOT flood a first grade team with Rookies.....confidence is a BIG thing in this game and to shatter the confidence they have before their mature enough to lose confidence then regain it again will almost certainly ruin a bright young prospect...sure wont help.

There are quite a few people on these forums that can get away with pretending to seem like they almost know everything....thats because they ARE very knowledgeble about the game...Im NOT one of them....I get the shits with them occasionally when they seem to start to big note themselves.....but I keep it in check with them, because its obvious to me they know more than me....a lot of people on this forum know more about footy than I do....you, vicious ;-) arent one of them.

Flood a team with rookies!Don`t make me laugh :lol: Halatau is the only player in the starting 13 who even remotely resembles a rookie.Funnily enough,through these hard times he has clearly been our best player!No one is saying to flood the team full of rookies in any case.Kieran Kerr is 23,if he`s not ready now,he`ll never be.Apart from that the only 2 who I believe deserve starting spots are Liam Fulton who couldn`t possibly do less than John Wilson has the past 2 weeks and Bronson Harrison who I believe would give us much more strike power in the centres than Shane Elford.In saying that i`m not Elfords harshest critic,maybe he`d be worth a go playing in the second row.He has the size,does he have the heart?????

I think anyone suggesting mass changes has no idea about football. Leave the team as it is, they are OK, they have played arguably the 2 best teams in the competition over the past 2 weeks, they will be fine against anyone else, both St George and the Roosters have treated them as though they are threats to the premiership. I think that is a good thing, last year they would have just turned up and won by 20, this year they know the Tigers mean business.....if not yet, then in a year or two's time........

We wont win the premiership this year, but we will make the 8 and we will beat some good sides........
