Lawrence and Harrison in defence

Messages

Is there any scary sight than watching these two standing side-by-side in the defensive line?

Our wide defense looked as brittle as its ever been...

I can't wait until Collis gets back and hopefully that sees Lawrence shifted to the wing or bench.

For a big bloke Lawrie just dosnt seem to have any idea, its not from lack of effort. They seem to be able to brush him off like a fly and he get caught out of position all the time. No one doubts his attacking ability but he is a libility at the moment

hes not the only one theres a number 7 who is just as bad in defense and has a even worse kicking game ;-)

I am more concerned with the return to form of the f**kwit in the 7 jersey
We had the full repetoire today .. sh*t kicks, an air swing when kicking, overlap murdering etc
And that f**king ginger lug was a f**king disgrace

Morris was back to his best today. Two surprisingly good games in rounds 1 and 2 but it was only a matter of time before he showed his true colours again.

I'd love to have a count of how many times Morris is tackled with the ball and then compare it with every other #7 in the comp. He must be way out in front in that department.

As for KG, I thought he was alright today.

My guess is if Sheens bites the bullet and brings Head into the side he will shift moths mate to no 6.

And at no6 he will be able to stuff the backline up just he dose from no7

If he shifts him to #7 at least Head will be calling most of the plays and this will hopefully limit Morris' from touching the ball, kicking, murdering overlaps etc.

6. Morris
7. Head

14. Moltzen

There is no way Sheens will drop our Cooper Cronk, so the above is the best we can hope for.

Everyone around us was ripping into Galloway
He is just so lazy and lacks the fire
And don't get me started on that half arsed intercept that let them kill the game
We truly miss the footwork and ball playing of Benji and Collis

Morris Must Go!

Simple.

It is time for Head.

When Benjamin is fit and if Head is a crock, let;s run with Moltzen and Marshall.

I thought Sheens was going to move him to the frontrow at one stage. It seemed that he was taking more hitups than any other forward with NO INTENTION of passing the ball.

He meets most of the criteria of being a good up and down forward: holds the ball, doesn't force the pass, willingly takes a hitup every set and kicks like a frontrower caught with the pill on the last. Its just a shame he doesn't have the physique.

One bad read is no big deal as long as it doesn`t happen again. They will be caned for not communicating and the lesson they learn will be more advantageous for us for the rest of the season than losing 2 points today !

To their credit they fired up and caused an error which then led to Halataus try. Shame they couldnt show the same intensity a few moments earlier.

Thatd be right, no idea...he was one of our best along with Dene & Hodgo.

Halatau was clearly our best and Galloway clearly our second best in my opinion. No idea what Hodgo done that wasn`t in slow motion, but Peni Tagive looked dangerous each time he had the ball and looks to be a superstar in the making.

bullsh*t ink. He runs onto it half arsed and is lazy as all f**k in defence
He can play for the campbelltown cavaliers when Gibbs is back
Could be the most damaging prop in the game
All that praise the lord sh*t he is doing in church is not conducive to wanting to rip people's heads off and have a dig ... and don't get me started on that half arsed (at best) intercept

Considering he was hit by a bus last week, then had to play fullback today on top of playing halfback too....I'd be blowing pretty hard too and feeling somewhat slo-mo if I were him.
I always think tagive will drop the pill....he makes me nervy

The problem is that we can't put it down to a one off mistake. It is well-known that both players are weak in that respect and nothing appears to have changed over the off-season.
I know Lawrence is only young but he has had decent first grade experience (albeit moving between positions) yet he still appears as clueless as ever when the opposition run a simple switch or decoy play.
