Sezer at 13? Bloke struggles in defence and you want to throw him into the middle.

Sheenius is ingrained at this club

Following the Tigers is like being tied up in front of a firing squad. Just shoot and get it over with will ya.
There are three unavoidable things......
Death

Mason in the 14 jumper, hopefully we get to see a bit more of him, to see what he's got.

I've watched a lot of his games this year and I think he's a bit of a ball hog. I think it was a case of trying too hard to prove he should be in first grade. When he did make it he played as a team man and I was happy. He can play some good footy so let's hope he gets super confident and plays his natural energetic running game.

 

[Nutz]

I'm disappointed that Luke Laulilii sits out. Whilst Solomona Faataape (Fats) has size, I think he's a tad too slow. In the modern game, speed and energy is crucial which Laulilii brings.
Fats has more experience albeit not much more, and that's why Benji's gone that way I guess.
Justin Olam to rattle some ribs.
Heath Mason is a good utility, can play numerous positions.
Samuela Fainu to get the man of the match.

I actually think.. "We've got this"

Give us a good Chance today. Storm have a few out, been winning but not looking anywhere near their best. Their 2-5 is pretty ordinary, no grant/munster and paps in doubt.

It looks like only Papalli, tupou, Toa and twal out now for us which considering the year we’ve had with injury is pretty good.

Think it’s a pretty low scoring one, something like 18-14 either way.

If Hughes doesn’t have his std 8-9/10 game we winCertainly agree we r in this game up to our eyeballs.Really need Sezer to adequately manage team around the park today in contrast to his woeful performance against the rorters

Mate...why do you do it to yourself ?...aren't in enough pain?!

 

[Pezz70]

Here we go…. A glimpse of goodness followed by a pile of shit, wtf
Was Olam doing

 

[Tigerm]

A few mistakes, but still think the game is there for the taking, Storm have lost a few, as long as we don’t go into a shell.

Thoughts on Stef, is he doing enough to indicate he wants to stay or is he making a play for the storm?

Not anymore it ain’t, Sezer is so sus in defence on the line, second week in a row he has been involved in a try that’s broke our back

 

[Pezz70]

We are the dumbest football team in the comp. We need to IQ test players. Just proper dumb

 

[Pezz70]

Just fall down on the basics every week, last tackle low percentage plays. We kill ourselves, you don’t have to be good to beat us, we’ll beat ourselves every week

 

[Pezz70]

They didn’t deserve to get beat by that much, but they do stupid things and they specialise in shit plays that cost points every time. There’s glimpses of good stuff but we’re just consistently poor when it counts. I really don’t know where we go, I think Luai will make a positive difference but we need something else, he is not gonna do it.

 

[Pezz70]

Bateman and his silly brain snap shit. We really need some speed. Frigging disappointing really 2 weeks in a row with 40ish points scored against us. Really ordinary. Maybe Benji needs me to come give the boys a dose of truth serum
Saturdays a bad day for me and footy, too many beers, backed up by wild turkeys

 

[Das Hassler]

Seems kind that we only lost by 12....Bateman is on cruise waiting for his next SL gig

 

[Tiger05]

I think Luai will make a positive difference but we need something else, he is not gonna do it.

Turuvu is coming as well. He is a quality player. We aren't far off.
