Game day thread?

[Incorrect]

I'd be interested to see how he goes at fullback. Still think he'd be more damaging on wing (if he gets better ball) but we certainly don't have anything to lose.... except 13 more games

It's the only reason I'd be moving him, well, the main reason anyway... he is wasted playing outside Jennings. When you've got a player of his destructive ability you need to play to his strengths and I don't think we are so far this year...

If there's any time to experiment with stuff like this, it's now.

I wouldn't mind seeing Semi have a shot at fullback, it would definitely give him the amount of ball he needs, geez, also, just imagine him running support on a line break...

 

[Poupou Escobar]

WTF merkins? Semi had heaps of opportunities last night. He's the only one who even came close to scoring up until the 78th minute. And last week he got a hat trick.

 

[Noise]

Yep, Semi and Jennings are our top try scorers. The problem is not them

 

[Stagger eel]

we have an outstanding 1 coming through the ranks that we need to be patient with him right now..let's not mess with it.

to me it's all about March 2017...let the work begin.

Couldn't agree more.

He's close to our best player and his involvement has been pretty similar this year.

 

[hineyrulz]

I'd give the Guth Bus the 1 jersey till the end of the season.

His best two games in the top great have been in the one jersey.

French can bid his time till he is ready.

I cannot believe what an influence Smith has on a game. I was astonished when after missing the conversion of the second try he had a running conversation with Kline and when they reached half way Kline gave Smith a gentle pat on the back. No wonder he is allowed to get away with so much he seems to have the referees eating out of his hands.

And that's why I've been screaming about the need to get robots to ref the games. It's all about the f**king robots!!

 

[Gary Gutful]

What if the robots turn evil?

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

What if the robots turn evil?

Then we'll just turn one and send it back in time to warn us.

 

[Gary Gutful]

Genius.

 

[Twizzle]

I Robot.

Agreed. I was more thinking in relation to him playing fullback where he can get ball wherever he pleases as opposed to whatever Jenko/Norman are providing him. The fact he is our best attack despite diminished effectiveness with Jenko compared to Taka last year is testamount to just how good an attacking weapon he is

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

I Robot.

Well then get your refereeing certificate and get out there.

 

[Twizzle]

No probs and I dont like Cam Smith

Agree Stags. That is until some new shit storm hits the club which inevitably does. What can we come up with ?

Salary cap penalty - tick
Star player released midseason - tick
Player caught with pills - tick *allegedly
Players swap urine sample - tick
Star player has breakdown - tick
Star player gambling issue - tick *allegedly
Players associate with
known criminals - tick
Player acts as ring in for
Rugby side - tick
Player involved in car rage incident - tick * allegedly

I'm not sure we could come up with anything else. Pretty creative list that one !

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

That's a pretty decent list. But as well as the star player, we had to let Peatsy go.

Automatic charge at the match review committee? :sarcasm:

When Semi contract is up he will need 500k + If you want to spend that on a winger fair enough but if he was at fullback id be happier him costing that.

Is Bevan strictly a fullback or a potential 5/8?
