Drop SKD

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

He left last year to pursue tenpin bowling in the USA.

 

[CC_Roosters]

He gas been garbage for most f the season. Is it laziness, has he always been rubbish? My memory of his first few years was very positive so don't know where he went wrong

 

[MARSHALL ZHUKOV]

I must have been watching a different game - the warriors first try a result of a poor defence read by Maubs. Second try poor miss by Jenko which left a 3 on 2- Jenko was run down by Johnson for all money he should not have caught him.

Sure the ball was knocked out of SKD hands but he was doing the right thing coming back in field just pure luck for the warriors- Pearce kick which was left to bounce picked up by the warriors player who ran 70 or so metres to score.

Yes SKD Did kick the ball lucky deflection for Manu to pick up but where was the cover defence only FNP had a go at catching him dived a bit early i think i though he should have kept going a tad longer and may have tackled him.

Mini threw a forward pass costing a certain try and others things as well kennedy lost the ball near/over the line.

You people are a disgrace to bak any Roosters long term player. shame shame shame shame shame shame on all of you as Brian Cooley would say- or hook it easts hook it hook it hook it

SKD has to go!

 

[Babyface O'reilly]

Marshall, I agree with a lot of what you say but SKD has been sh1t for ages, his defensive lapses, dropped ball, poor positional play. Last Sunday was the final straw for many of us. Maybe a stint in reggies could do him the world of good. Kennedy's close to being dropped too, surely.

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

Why would Kennedy be dropped? 140m and nearly 30 tackles, what's wrong with that?

 

[Horrie Is God]

MK has been i good form lately..

He just keeps giving away the same silly penalties every week..

He's not putting the hand brake on before he hits the line now & is reaping the benefits..

Our forwards were all pretty good the other night..

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

I really don't recall Kennedy giving away too many penalties but sometimes at the game it's hard to work out who was penalised. JWH is the worst in the entire competition when it comes to that tbh Friend I think was second or third worst as well, that's killer right there.

Kennedy in recent weeks is gaining a lot metres after contact with the defence which is great. He was shit in round 1 and there was another early match where he was just awful but lately hes done well since he has started matches, so has LOD.

When JWH returns I wouldn't mind seeing Kennedy starting and Moa coming off the bench to provide the impact we all wanted from Mose Masoe but rarely received. Kennedy is not that kind of player.

 

[Babyface O'reilly]

Yep, had the cranky hat on last night re Kennedy. Pre Socceroos nerves perhaps.
I've been expecting Marty to step up while Jared's on holiday. There's the silly penalties, I know JWH is our worst offender but he makes up for it with aggression, tackle breaks and impressive off-loads none of which and I can't for the life of me recall, Kennedy doing. Could be wrong, probably being hard on the kid.

 

[Valheru]

Kennedy got named as 18th man for QLD; he can’t be going to bad. I Agree with TT, Kennedy to start and Moa on the bench is the way to go. Moa’s impact was really good on Sunday

 

[Lucas-Con]

Redeemed himself slightly against the dogs but against Melbourne, warriors AMD even in our wins he has damn near cost us those games guy needs to be dropped as soon as moga is healed from his injury.

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

Moga has to seriously work on his defence based on last years effort but I think this new culture would not tolerate any laziness for long. I'd have to watch again but I thought Pearce and RTS were directly at fault for Melbourne tries and not SKD. Pearce was at fault for a Parramatta try or two as well but that does not excuse the chest grabbing defence SKD followed up with. It doesn't seem like Pearce/SKD/RTS are defensively on the same page especially compared to Maloney/Jennings/Tupou which has been solid from day 1 in the trials.

I do wonder had Moga been fit from the start whether SKD would last this long in first grade. Oldfield hasn't been particularly impressive from what I've seen at the Jets and obviously he isn't in contention for a centre spot based on Friday night.

 

[Freddy's Girl]

Pearce was shocking in the Parramatta game, but backing up from Origin you could forgive him. RTS and SKD on the other hand don't communicate well with each other, especially SKD who shows no faith in RTS to back him up.

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

His defence was awful against Melbourne as well. The last few weeks it seems like SKD has no confidence in Pearce, they're often fighting embarrassingly for the same guy only to leave RTS stranded. Either way they are a poor defensive trio together and I'm not sure Moga would improve that however his lateral movement is faster.

 

[adamkungl]

I have major doubts over whether Moga would be a defensive improvement over SKD. It isn't exactly his strongest aspect

 

[Horrie Is God]

Apparently Moga got binned for fighting on friday, & the dogs won the game while he was off the field..

 

[Jack_Napier]

Just read Moga may have done the same knee again. Devastating news for the kid and club is confirmed.

 

[Albert Rosenfeld]

Moga is pronounced MOO-yah. That is truly shocking and makes me wonder if we can afford to promote a player with such a ridiculous sounding name.

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

Pretty sure that's not how you pronounce it.
