Match Discussion: Round 22 vs Canterbury @ CommBank Stadium, Parramatta / Burramattagal

[Nutz]

The bench is unbalanced. Api can't play 40 quality minutes now let alone 80. Latu shouldn't be moved from the halves.

I agree. We'll burn him out.

 

[Tiger05]

I agree. We'll burn him out.

I think it's crazy stuff but to be fair we need him to find form so maybe playing him for 80 will give him a chance to find form.

I agree. We'll burn him out.

We have the bye next week, he can have Tuesday off.

Ideally, if we were out of the 8 and no chance of getting the spoon, I'd rather use Hope on the bench for rest of the games. Hope has to get better if he's to be Api's sub next year.
We have a bye but so does Souths and they have a better pts diff than us.
I feel for Tu’itupou but he won't push out Turuva or Bula. He had a so so game in his debut.
He's another who fits into same category as Hope. We need good replacements next year and I know he can play better, even sub for centres if need be.
Also we need to use Hunt now so as to make a decision on his future with the club. He's been a passenger in first grade but a weapon on KOE. We need a horse whisperer.
I wish we knew what they plan to do with AD too.

 

[Nutz]

They say people get soft with age, get your minds out of the gutter but after my tirade of abuse I gave the tigers after the pampers game, I've forgotten most of it and I'm rearing to go for another bash.
We'll beat the dogs. Ha ha ha

 

[Tiger05]

Hope has to get better if he's to be Api's sub next year.

I reckon he has been pretty good.

Also we need to use Hunt now so as to make a decision on his future with the club.

I figure he has a spot until his contract runs out. We bought the right type of player but he hasn't gotten the job done.

I wish we knew what they plan to do with AD too.

I'm fine with him going. He has been great for us. I'm not doubting that. The issue that I have is we have to play Latu and Luai in the halves and they have to get the job done. Our pack continually gets smashed and playing AD at 13 to cover the halves isn't going to give us consistent go forward.

Ideally Hunt comes good and AD can play a utility player role but we've be lucky if that worked out for us and when have we been lucky.

I like this.

 

[Speedy Gonzales]

It’ll be similar to the Penrith game where we hold on for 20 mins and then open the flood gates

they’re pretty similar teams in how they play that grinding style of footy

 

[Tiger05]

I have to add this now as well. We need to score points. We have to look to attack every set. Forwards belting it up our spine going at them.

 

[TheDefinitionOfMadness]

Latu and luai have to work out some form of communication and shared responsibilities. Latu only ran it once last week and at times I thought he'd been taken off he was so quiet.

Unfortunately I think we'll get belted physically again and gutless will run riot. Then in the post game interview he'll take at swipe at us.

I say screw that and sweep the leg early on
