Negatives:-
1. Moltzen
2. Tuqiri

 

[Marshall_magic]

I thought Reddy went alright as well. Maybe a few too many dropped balls, but he looked dangerous when he had the ball.

 

[gronkathon]

Bell was epic in defence as well

I thought Reddy went alright as well. Maybe a few too many dropped balls, but he looked dangerous when he had the ball.

I was going to mention him but I thought at times he looked a little slow.

Tuqiri though is a major worry - he looks too slow for wing at the moment and I don't think he could handle the forwards.

I've nearly had it with Moltzen as well - he didn't contest a bomb at the start and then made a simple drop ball later on. Those mistakes are okay if they stop happening but they are just rolling on and on. He did make a good tackle on FuiFui but apart from that his overall game simply needs to improve a lot.

I thought Humble was again basically non-existent although he didn't make mistakes and he did put in defensively.

We really need a 1 and 7 to be a chance in this comp and we need Lote to get it together or be replaced. I hope they let him go at the end of this season.

Have to watch it again but am I right in saying the tide turned when Bell got subbed off for Beau to move to lock and Aysh to play right centre shifting Reddy to right wing?

Maybe but I don't think that was the problem - we just fell asleep. Losing Bell wouldn't help but I think that came down to switching off and being exposed for speed out wide. Reddy is slowish but quicker than Ayshford. I'm pretty sure they were both playing out wide. Add to that Lote being out there and it is a worry as soon as you get caught out up the middle.

 

[benched tiger]

We won the game but lost the second half 30-12,conceding 5 tries in 13 minutes is a disgrace,never been a fan of Reddy and todays effort has not changed my mind.

 

[gronkathon]

I think we bunched in as Hayne was probing the ruck. Bell had it locked down pretty much all game. He came off and our defence lost shape and condensed.

 

[T.T]

i think 3 of the tries on our left hand defence was due to masila playing out on the centre/wing ?

 

[Marshall_magic]

I was going to mention him but I thought at times he looked a little slow.

he looked to get his hands free a lot in tackles, he just needed someone running off his hip for the offload. Certainly proving himself as a better option than Ayshford (or dare I say it, Brown).

 

[hybrid_tiger]

Yes Beau Ryan was moved to lock, another great move by our f**kwit of a coach.

Moltzen was dreadful again and his attitude stinks. He doesn't seem to be a team player and is constantly blasting his teammates for mistakes, and giving them deathstares just because they pass him the ball and expect the piss weak dog to take a hit up.

One day one of them is going to have had enough and belt him, just like this:

Also, there is no way in the world Tom Humble is a viable halfback option. No kicking game, no creativity. He is a fill in, fringe first grade utility at best. That is all.

I agree. Ryan is an awesome player at the moment. I don't get why you move him to lock.

Moltzen was dreadful again and his attitude stinks.

Yep - his overall performance is pretty poor. He did look like he put in at times and I didn't notice his sooking towards his own players however that isn't to say he didn't do it. The problem is I am getting pissed off at the one or two mistakes when he is at the back. We got away with it today but it cannot continue.

Also, there is no way in the world Tom Humble is a viable halfback option. No kicking game, no creativity. He is a fill in, fringe first grade utility at best. That is all.

Yep - he looks ordinary. I don't get why Sheens moved Moltzen to 1 and Humble to 7. It makes no f**ken sense. They both look crap.

Still they might both come good in a couple of weeks time. Blair might as well. I have my doubts about all 3 but lets hope they improve. If not I can't see us making the 8 or if we do we'll be put out of misery real quick.

 

[Old Time Tiger]

Yep, the 2 tries down the left hand side, Lote, not just slow but out of position.

For me, only the Hayne try was a 'soft' one in the middle, the others out wide where we looked ordinary but what was BBM doing on the wing? what was Ryan not doing on the wing? that is the fault of one guy only and he has the hide to blame all of em?

Plus the fact that the same guy happily picks Moltzen each week.:roll:

spoilt kid always has had a bad attitude especially the deathstares he has a couple every match . Forget about the others Lote & Timmy are our biggest issues at the moment..

 

[moller]

Harsh to blame Tuqiri for the tries down the RHS - they had a two man (at least) over lap.

 

[madunit]

Not harsh, Tuqiri rushed up and in leaving BMM stranded (why he was defending on the wing is a f**king mystery)

 

[hybrid_tiger]

BMM was injured early in the set, went out to the left side of the field to see the trainer, then went back into the line on the wing for the end of that set.

 

[Tiger05]

Forget about the others Lote & Timmy are our biggest issues at the moment..

And Humble.

 

[Old Time Tiger]

Was going to watch the replay today but thanks hybrid for clearing that up but what madunit said was true, an experienced winger, a dual international no doubt and he rushed up and

For me, it is simply the dumb selections or non selections of players for a game and during a game, think Moors and Meaney and then the moving of Ryan into the forwards just to give Ayshford a run. I would much prefer to
a 7 play at 7, a fullback play fullback a winger stay on the wing for 80 minutes.

I think Meaney should be the reserve back as he can and does play at fullback, centre and 5/8 but I wonder if the next move (if he ever drops Moltzen that is) will be to move Reddy to 1 and Moltzen to 7?

As an aside, didn't Ryan go OK for Parra and to think this time last year he was playing for BRET, makes me wonder if Sheens ever goes and watches them play.

 

[madunit]

I'm at a loss why Ryan moves to lock when Ayshford comes on. Why not put Ayshford at Lock? He's bigger, he can still play close to his usual centre position in defence, just seems remarkably stupid to put the lightest player, possibly in the competition, in the back row.

No doubt he did well given his slight frame against that massive parra pack, but what a braindead idea.

Hmmm - a 100kg centre or an 80kg winger to play lock.

Lets go with the winger eh?

I just can't understand Sheens plans anymore, they are getting worse. its 2004 all over again, but with a more mentally hampered coach
