Match Discussion: Round 11 vs North Qld @ Queensland Country Bank Stadium

[mozza91]

hes the edge backrower on an edge that would struggle defend a collective of 60 pound internet fans from a forum he 100% deserves any shots fired at him

He really doesn’t. He was easily better than Frizell tonight but because he’s a whipping boy he made your list.

Sasagi has a bit of something with the ball in hand. Not so much on the other side of it. J Saf should be embarrassing his brother at this point, but I never see a response from Dan unfortunately. For whatever reason, as the season has worn on Dan has just completely gone tits up.

What I liked about Sasagi's debut is that he actually looked like a plus athlete even on an NRL field. Something that I'm not sure you could say about a lot of the other younger outside backs we've had come through lately (Hoy, Musgrove, Toa etc.)

Yeah, I mean if I have to drop a couple of blokes to accomodate KP and Best, I don't think it's automatically Sasagi. Need a few more looks at him.

Mann and Toa go before Sasagi.

I’d pick Jake over Dan for NSW.

how do you choose between green and mann at 6 next week?

 

[Zoidberg]

Don’t want to make any excuses, our efforts have been piss poor and unacceptable. But having 5 of our 1st choice 1-7 out injured sucks balls.

 

[Jono078]

how do you choose between green and mann at 6 next week?

Connor Watson. Johns to the bench.

 

[NoSchitSherlock]

how do you choose between green and mann at 6 next week?

Green over Mann but maybe, if he's, fit, you shake it up and put Ponga at 6.
That leaves questions on FB.

I’d have dropped

He made my list because he’s terrible. The only issue with my list is I didn’t include about 10 other guys because you can’t drop everyone.

 

[perverse]

You don't. In fact, you play literally anyone to avoid it. Again, it's beyond worrying about how well their replacements play - it's about dropping them now and preparing for 2022. Sad, but true.

Sorry I just had an ugly thought..

It might just be Mann and Green in the halves. Dear lord what have we done to deserve this.

 

[Jono078]

I bet we could name Brodie Jones at 7 next week and he has a Johns like performance. Worth a punt to keep us interested at least.

Reality.

Getting abit carried away, before tonight Jacob was averaging 73m per game, Daniel was averaging 141m. That was by far and away Jacob's best game of the year and only the 2nd game he's run over 100m

asked if the forwards were the ones letting the team down coach says "no not tonight, i thought they played well"

on mann "i thought he was good, i thought he competed"

other than that not much in the presser, says we have to suck it up because we have injuries and fans "dont want to wait" and "for those who are impatient and don't want to stick with us, that's fine" which is a bit f**king rich.

f**k me, we've been waiting for over a decade, lol.

 

[aqua_duck]

Honestly if I'm AOB I'm bringing in Shibasaki next week, hands like feet and not much of an attacking threat but he's probably our best defensive centre IMO.

I’m not sure I liked his conference tonight but I can understand his perspective. This may work out to be genius of him if he’s able to create an us vs them mentality among the group.

They were both great tonight. All our forwards were. Reserve graders on the edges cost us dearly. As they have a few times this season.
