Edwards or DWZ for fullback next year

[franklin2323]

Blake has 7 errors himself. Mansour 5 in 2 games. It seems the whole backline can't catch.. Not sure dropping just one player fixes it

 

[PANTHERMIKE]

Which wouldn't make the error of Edwards stand. So my point is the ball shouldn't of gotten to Edwards to be knocked on. It is a different game if that is called penalty

I wouldnt blame either of them. But it certainly wasnt on DWZ

It was just one of those things. That and the strip should of been penalties in my book. so stats don't match reality

The reality is dick fingers lost the ball 6 times. Twice resulting in tries. Twice having it stolen.

Again I point to nothing being said about Blake having 7 errors in 3 games. Mansour 5 in 2 games... Even the potential FB has 4 in 3 games.

 

[Panther Pete]

Dude that is a shit take trying to put that try on DWZ who was pushed off the ball.

That is a penalty every day of the week..... God only knows why it was allowed.

After that try was awarded they showed a shot of Bellamy's reaction in the coaches box and he was laughing as if even he couldn't believe they paid it.

I wanted Mansour dropped too. He didn't deserve to be recalled immediately into the side.

Blake has made 2 errors crossing the line. They suck. But nowhere near as badly as 2 errors that put you down by 12 points.

We also have no one better than Blake to replace him with. Sad reality is he and Whare are our best and only centre options.

So that would make Blake's errors cost us 12 points...As Edwards did.

It says more to the preparation to me given it is across the board

Blake just didnt score us points. If he holds it we get 4. Possibly 6. But if he's not there we arent crossing the line. He cost us nothing and contributed nothing.

Edwards cost us 12 points. Contributing none. He gets a -12 while Blake sits on 0.

We are 12 points worse off from Blake dropping it over the line.
We are 12 points worse from Dylan dropping it.

So the result is the same

Edwards has gained the most metres for us. 417. most tackle breaks 12. 66.7% tackle efficency
DWZ 344 m gained. 7 tackle breaks. 56% tackle effeciency
Blake 317m 12 tackle breaks.

Errors
Edwards 8
Blake 7
Mansour 5
Whare 4
DWZ 4.

So where is DWZ or someone else demanding to take Edwards spot? Someone earlier raised doubts over 2 of Edwards errors. The overall stats he is our best performing back.

Across the board form needs to pick up but you can't single out just one player from this train wreck season

Blake makes 2 errors. Scoreline remains the same. He just failed to add to our score. Like everyone else.

Edwards made 2 errors costing us tried. Scoreline of opposition goes up by 12 points. Unlike most other errors, his ones gifted the opposition 12 points

Edwards errors could have cost us 24 points for all we know. We could very well have rolled up field and scored. He denied us any opportunity at scoring in those sets though and gifted tries to the opposition.

Edwards errors were far more costly.

Here’s a crazy idea!!

Let’s sit back, cheer for our favourite team and let them sort out the errors.

The whole backline know they are under performing. They all need to improve but it only takes one good game to get your mojo back.

So how about instead of this stupid and pointless analysis of the past performances.

Get your arse to the game and cheer the lads on. Who ever it is being picked.

Changing the team around will solve nothing, a good win in front pack home stadium and your season is back on track.

 

[Fangs]

Cleary already said Edwards won't be dropped. I'd prefer it if he was but he is good player. Will bounce back, hopefully this Friday night.

Tell that to the Bulldogs, nobody gave them a shot against the Tigers who were red hot to start the season, Dean Pay makes a bunch of changes and they beat them convincingly.

It’s clear a lot of players are comfortable because they know they won’t get dropped (Cleary is notorious for never dropping anyone also) so start reinforcing the idea that their spot isn’t guaranteed for the season and watch them start playing like they deserve a jersey come match day, underperform/don’t put a shift in, go play NSW Cup for a few weeks and pull your head in I say.

That said you have no way of knowing if the changes caused it or the players who were humiliated bounced back against a team not prepared for a decent game. Or if its a combination of both.

Tigers were pretty awful too. Which is bad timing for us because they have a lot motivating them now to be better.

Alot of their players are filthy on Ivan and they have been absolutely torn to shreds by Maguire for that effort. Tigers will be up for this no matter what 17 they run with.

I cant see us matching that. Ivan doesn't seem as filthy after a loss.

Well who is the fullback now?

Edwards has a long career in first grade ahead of him but he can't remain in the 1 or first grade right now. Looks shot.

DWZ or Aitkens?

You have to put DWZ in the 1 if moving Edwards. Unless you want him to leave. He did well last year and very well for NZ.

 

[Tronald Crump]

DWZ deserves his shot right now.

You do what is best for the team. DWZ either puts up with it or leaves.

DWZ was just as bad. Dropped a simple kick. Throwing stupid passes across the posts.

For me it is Aekins, Luai then DWZ. That said Ivan never drops guys. So no change with happen

That was stupid in greasy conditions.
