With no chance ponga going to fullback, what’s the other options? Do we dare suggest the idea of Mann to flb when he comes back

Tbh I don’t think Mann would be any worse, heck I’d rather have Tuala there even if I have no idea if he’s ever played fullback I’m pretty certain he isn’t going to gift 2-3 tries to the opposition every week

Old man gagai a chance at fullback?

As long as he hasn’t got penis fingers it’s an upgrade

Who even cares who at this point... just DO something! Coach the team!!!

 

[Yosh]

Who cares who replaces him, he needs to be dropped after that. Not acceptable.

 

[aqua_duck]

As critical as I am I do feel sorry for him, playing in his home town against his former team probably in front of all his family and friends and making error after error he probably wished the ground would swallow him whole.
One of the pros he had going for him earlier in the year was he wouldn’t let errors bog him down and he wouldn’t go into his shell but imo the errors have been so numerous and increasingly costly over the past month or so that I think his confidence is completely shot. A spell in NSW cup would be mutually beneficial at this point

 

[Woody90]

Let’s be honest, AOB isn’t going to drop him, especially with Ponga and Gagai likely unavailable next week giving him the excuse of nobody else available.

Is Bailey Hodgson available? He couldn’t possibly be any worse at the moment.

Next week assuming Gagai and Ponga in QLD team:

1. ? Hodgson
2. Hunt
3. Tuala
4. Best
5. Marzhew
6. Gamble
7. Hastings

Yes it looks terrible but there’s no way in hell Miller or Young should be anywhere near first grade after today. AOB needs to make a statement that nobody is safe. Let’s be honest though, both will be in first grade next week ugh.

 

[macavity]

Next week no origin players probably gets him a stay of execution.

If we lose next week we are almost certainly out of finals contention.

We do have Bailey Hodgson but our reserve grade team are going worse than our first grade team so I doubt that'll happen

 

[Mr Angry]

You can only imagine my surprise.

The bloke gets worst under I watched Craig win 4.

Ffs bite the bullet, bloke is a dud.

Alternatively hang it all on Ponga, sell Bradman.

Sux to be a Newie fan today.

Lol.. Today??

 

[The Axe of Druss]

He needs a stint in reggies to work on the basics and get his confidence back

Gamble to fullback would be my pick if AOB is serious about leaving Ponga at 5/8. Tyson has all the attributes to succeed there

Hodgeson is a worse option than Miller right now

 

[Wizardman]

This week was the first signs I saw from Miller that his errors were affecting his approach to the game. He was definitely shaken up. When that happens (particularly as a fullback), it is time to get dropped. Im a supporter of the guy....but he does need some NSW cup time now.

 

[mozza91]

With Ponga out for Origin next week he gets an extra game than he probably should. Another bad game and he has to go back to Cup.

Unfortunately the more I see of him the less confident I am in his skillset. I was under the impression he was a speedster but watching him trying to chase Fifita was an eye opener and then I looked up some of his highlights, he’s no quicker than Gagai tbh and certainly nowhere near the top end speed of a Ponga or Young.

Doesn’t sound like we will be missing Ponga based on leaked teams.

Great stuff. Saw Gagai won’t get picked either. Even better.

 

[Old dog]

Don’t see why SOO selections should save Miller if bad form warrants being dropped then drop him.
Hodgson is fit, playing strong, deserves a chance or move Gagai to f/b, we have options

 

[Woody90]

If KP and Gags are available AOB literally has no excuse not to drop Miller.

Young needs to go too.
