Tissues? Check. Lube? Check.
Great night in just watching the tele.

. . . I hope you didn't put a small dent in the TV screen, and you wiped off your mess afterwards. :lol:

Recorded for future reference no doubt. :sarcasm:

Back to back good games from Moses.
Makes a huge difference when he participates in all aspects of the game.
Looking much more confident.

I can only assume Taylor has told him to go out and back himself and let him off the leash...

 

[Das Hassler]

I love his energy but dumb penalties and still too reckless with the ball......4 minutes to go he feeds a scrum on our goal line and he throws the ball in like he's doing a circus trick.FFS !

 

[Shanghai Charlie]

At least he is showing some improvement after 18 rounds of catch/pass or bomb, offering no attacking threat at the line, weak defence and looking like a shit scared rabbit in the headlights when the ball came near him. I actually have a little hope now that he might develop.

 

[Vic Mackey]

He is 10 times better the brooks

I thought Brooks was great last night as well. I think he played better than Moses. Moses has definitely been better this year but Brooks was good last night excluding the errors that he came up with.

 

[DanOz]

Brooks has been solid this year, with some good games. Moses has been mostly terrible with some potential showing in a few games.

 

[Clifferd]

Starting to get into the hype of Moses/Brooks combo. I really believe they will flourish next year and the back end of this year and probably push for origin selection in 2017.

But for now, week to week improvements are all that's needed.

Also think Cherrington suits their games much better...reminds me of a young Farah always darting out of dummy half looking for half chances. Good player

 

[Vic Mackey]

Cherrington made 62ms in 12 minute. Farah 74 in 68mins. Obviously that's no everything and manaia was involved in the missed tackle for Boyd's second try however it shows the impact he can have on first grade. I'd be looking to up his minutes to 25-30 and have Farah playing at lock for the last 15 of each game. Can only see it benefiting us and also making it more likely he will stay.

Brooks has been very ordinary IMO, particularly his kicking game. One out on the full last night, and no repeat sets. His decisions on tackle five have been very poor.

I saw the poor plays but he also took the right option on a lot of occasions and his passing game was good. He needs to improve but apart from the poor kicks he was good.

With regards Brooks, I think the reason I have been so hard on him is because I keep thinking back to when he debuted against the Dragons. After that game I thought holy hell, is this kid the real deal. I can't say I have seen him play a game where he has been that exciting since.

I think Moses and Brooks will come good, they may not be the world beaters we all thought but so long as they are solid week in week out I'll be happy.

I want them both to be world beaters. I think we need another player in the same class as Tedesco.

We need a quality attacking backrower, capable of breaking the line, astute passing mixed with a bit of aggro and intimidation factor. We have really missed that for a long time.

 

[Tigers Tale]

I think so too Tiger05. I have been so impressed with Tedesco this year.

I think if we could just pick up a top shelf centre and second rower we'd be right on the money. How would this side would go with Ellis (when at his best) or say someone like a Michael Jennings (referring to a very fast centre). Brooks and Moses would IMO become better players simply with better options outside of them.

Anyway, we can only work with what we have and what we are going to get next year and the years after. We have won two on the trot so I can't ask for more than that...

I think Siro, Lawrence and Halatau can get the job done. Add in Taupau as a prop type player at lock and I think our backrow isn't that bad. I agree that Sirro and Lawrence are far from done deals plus Halatau can't have too many years left in him.

At this point with Keith moving on I'd be more interested in buying another prop.

Tedesco is on another planet at the moment. I think we really need another quality outside back and like you state that might help Brooks and Moses come on.

To be fair we have been missing our other strike weapon in Simona for large stretches this year - I personally think we look an infinitely better team when he is playing. I thought Nofoaluma was promising last night as well - made some very strong charges.
