Loko the myth

[NumberOne]

Have watched this guy all season, and i have to say i don't see what all the fuss is about.

His defence is absolutely disgraceful...he has not once passed to his winger...his decision making is shocking.

and once tonight, some little canberra guy had him around the legs and rather than offload a simple pass to Keating, he just went down.

 

[parra_jesus]

just needs to sort his defense out think he is overthinking things to much. footy is a simple game just needs to follow his instincts and read the defense better. he has potential unlike the shit bag we have on the other side of the field in atkins

 

[benkustosgrandmother]

I think he is clearly not ready for the top grade bring him back when he has matured as a footballer.

Good in attack but is a liability in defence .

His defensive is eric grothe jr esque in that you never feel completely comfortable when the other team is attacking that side.

I actually watched him pass it a few times i was shocked....

I don't know who you'd replace him with now Reddy is gone for the year though. Unless you play Horo or Maitua in the centres. He's a much better prospect than Morgan so if you were going to drop one of our young centres it'd be Morgan. At least Loko shows he has enough talent to be a first grader down the track.

 

[parra_jesus]

yeah thats why i am defending him aswell eels dude. he def lacks alot in defense and attack at times but does have the pottential to be a solid centre but also reminds me abit of vaelaki for some reason which isnt really a good thing.... that and we have no one else

 

[NumberOne]

IMO, right now Walker is a better centre than Loko...and thats saying something

funny you didn't post anything last week Mr Troll

I don't agree, to minimise mistakes and pressure, I think he is under instructions to keep his game very simple and uncomplicated - sticking to as few tasks as possible until he grows confidence. He needs an experienced player to guide him along and that player is Reni. I say put Loko on to the wing and Reni next to him for the rest of the year.
We do the same on the other side, drop Atkins and bring up Ken Sio ASAP or Karl Filiga and let them swim or sink. If we don't have an 80%+ goal-kicker then we should drop Luke Burt to Fullback and put Hayne at 6 (stuff what he thinks - just do the job)

The gimp has Zero football brain. He constantly runs to the sideline and hogs the ball at every opportunity.... Without the fear of being called a racist the guy is pretty much a dumb Polynesian... Not much up top!!! I mean PASS the ball FFS

Some people have really short memory, we lost tonight and he had an off game but who doesn't, heck the best in the game still have off nights

 

[hindy111]

Defense isnt great but he is big fast and mobile.He will fix his defense and can be a superstar-At 18 im not sure what everyone is expecting

I have been saying it since he debuted...when he was playing firsts and Reddy for Wenty...I said then that he isn't ready for NRL, and I stand by that to this day.

well f**k me, where have you been our whole lives? kearney should be sacked and you should be instated as the new coach pronto, your wise words ooze greatness, you must of also been a class centre back in your day too

 

[hineyrulz]

So Loko is a bigger liability than Morgan? What about Burt or Atkins ?? What about our halves who were disgraceful tonight?? Loko while raw and improving is the least of our problems. Where were you the last two games when he more than held his own against Gaz and Judas????

The sad thing about Loko is that he can draw the winger and pass and in Toyota Cup he looked to do it constantly. Don't know why it has disappeared.

I was shocked when he was selected but I think Kearney sees him a player with a future and he is giving him experience so he will improve for next year.

 

[Gronk]

Not sure why the knives are out for Loko. I guess we lost so it was either Robbo, Morts or a rookie that either shouldn't be there or should be selected. That's usually the way that people around here operate after a loss.

For mine he's shown a zillion more promise than Ryan and is better than Savage or Filiga. Chris Walker has a lot to offer and he's the only bloke who should be there, maybe instead of Ryan. Ryan did a hammie, so he'll need a few weeks to get that right.
