DeGois, Peats and Js Paulo

[oldmancraigy]

Ok, it's gone beyond ridiculous.

Fair enough to have the 3 players in the 17 man squad, but to have all 3 on the park at the same time is beyond dumb. Good job Brad, you experimented, it is a clear fail. Peats OR DeGois on the paddock at any time. Js Paulo for limited minutes.

Having all 3 on makes us too weak through the middle, we lack go-forward and defensive grunt in the pack. Teams roll forward and then get our outside backs on the back foot, carving us up.

Brad Arthur has no idea except how to perfect angry guy face in press conferences

 

[oldmancraigy]

Hopefully you aren't right Haynetrain.

My concern is that he sees himself as some sort of attacking innovator, but doesn't realize that the ideas aren't working.
Go through the games last season with Joseph Paulo on the paddock vs him off the paddock, and you'll note our try percentage is higher with him off the field.

Wouldn't shock me if we have an abysmal 'tries against' ratio with all of the 3 midgets this thread is dedicated to on the field at the same time.

These three shouldn't be in the team together. Surely next week we see some changes.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

We were definitely worn down by a bigger pack, second week running.

i can understand Seffa coming on and giving Watmough a spell on the sideline but why we have to move Peats out of hooker to give De Gois a go is beyond me. Not saying that De gois doesnt offer anything but i think the best thing to do with Peats is let him play 80 at hooker. Issac at hooker, Peats at lock and Paulo at prop does NOTHING for me at all.

IMO if we resign Sandow I will lose faith in BA

 

[Bazal]

In fairness we probably didn't have a lot of choice with Edwards, Pauli, Jnr Paulo, and Fa'aoso out. Hopefully with Pauli and Fa'aoso fit that'll be the end of Sef for a long time

i agree, With Norman playing so well i dont see the need to keep him. Just too erratic and a terrible defender.

 

[Chipmunk]

DeGois on the bench coming on with 25 minutes to go is just pointless, especially if we are keeping Peats on the field.

2 of the 3 you mentioned were available this week...

 

[Bazal]

So? Pauli played his first game back from injury, and was obviously fatigued at the back end, and Fa'aoso was one game back from a broken neck.....

 

[Pazza]

Having 4 middle forward on the bench was mystifying.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Yeah, wtf is the point of that? De Gois isn't anything but a hooker.

 

[Parramatta1947]

Joseph Paulo has always offered nothing..............he threatens no one.

 

[Delboy]

I try to defend Sef Paulo, but he was friggin terrible again today. Forward passes, passed over the head of attackers, passes to thebground and falling off tackles

The only player who threatened his poor play today was Kelly in the Wenty team, another game of sheer meh

Can't see any reason to pick Paulo when Norman is in the team as they have a similar style, pinky Norman is effective. Just too many very bad displays, needs to have some Wenty time

Morgan and Burreto played well today, very solid compared to the other side of the field

you'd have hoped he'd have learn't by his mistake last week, obviously not. There is no way you can go into a game these day's with two hookers and that useless excuse for a footballer in the 17 when you biggest and best metre eater isn't in the squad. It's not because IDG isn't a first grader it's the balance of the side is so out of whack when you carry Super long middle man Sef in the side who wouldn't bruise a grape in attack or defence.

 

[eel01s]

Seffa was hopeless today. I like BA but if he continues his love affair with Seffa that will do me.

Agree completely omc. Our options were limited coming into this round but with Moeroa, Pauli and Fa'aoso all completing solid-to-great outings for Wenty today we can legitimately play 3 or 4 forwards off the bench next week.

we are you guys all surprised. We only beat good teams at Pirtek. Anyone else we lose
