Miller ?

[MadPie]

Benji's brother Jordan made his debut in the 20's last week against the Drags off the bench. Anyone see how he went?

What an absolute waste of a first grade start for Miller. Didn't get involved at all. Didn't lead, direct, attack, kick, didn't do bloody anything. Defended OK though.

Would be very surprised if Sheens gives him another shot ever again after such a timid display. You can say all you like about forwards going backwards, blah, blah, but the kid didn't even try to leave an imprint and shouldn't be holding his breath for another invitation to first grade. What a wasted opportunity. Not the first time he's wasted an opportunity either.

 

[N.C.]

Sheens was asked about this on MMM last night - said he saw no reason to fiddle with the Miller/Moltzen thing. Said he thought Miller held his own in defence but that he might move him a touch wider so that he's not facing up against Taylor too directly.

As for me, I thought we looked a whole lot sharper when Humble came in. He seemed to be playing a lot of first receiver during the last 10 or so minutes... Maybe it was just that we were more desperate by that stage.

Miller to start with Humble coming in late in each half could be a good option.

May as well have that back on the bench utilised instead of getting splinters in their arse for 78 minutes.

Yes, well, there is that...

I agree N.C.

Made me think, why not give him a go at 9, gives us another option with the ball and is more mobile than Fulton.

Fulton can be the tackling 2nd back rower that we need.
Blair can be 1 of 4 forwards on the bench along side. BMM, Bell & Moors.

That's incredibly harsh. The team has been a shambles for weeks. Moltzen was getting dummy half service from Farah and was just as poor if not worse at halfback. Not only did Miller miss out Farah's dummy half work, he was getting rubbish service from Fulton all night.

The other thing is Moltzen was given 3 years to become a fullback and still couldn't make a decent enough go of it to make the jersey his own this season, yet Miller gets punted after one game in less than ideal conditions.

No wonder the Dragons are sniffing around him.

Miller has a groin injury, not dropped.

So I'm guessing he would have been in the #7 this week otherwise.
