Official Team v Newcastle Knights :: Round 16

[benched tiger]

My concerns are our back row, Bell not included,but that other pair are so ineffective its a joke ,also has anyone noticed how little Benji runs any more?

 

[macnaz]

Yep. One of the worlds BEST five eights has now turned into a reasonable half , along side a below average 6. Great move Tim

 

[madunit]

The solution is simple and obvious

1 - Ryan
2 - Utai
3 - Ayshford
4 - Lawrence
5 - Tuqiri
6 - Marshall
7 - Moltzen

That has worked, better than anything else over the last 18 months.

I think if Blair is going to continue shunning work, then put him at Lock and allow him to play a more roving role.

Heighington to second row. Hino can do the work, we know that. The quality is poor because his technique has gone to shit. Make him run straight, hard and keep pushing, we'd all be surprised at how good he plays when he actually does that.

Fulton's absence is enormous. Blair's inability to be a relevant defender is really exploited when Fulton and Ellis are out of the side.

i think every fan would like to see that backline except for sheens

 

[macnaz]

Im not feeling good at all about tonight :x

 

[macnaz]

Ayshford at five eighth is a joke. Marshall is easy to shut down when he has no real assistance in the halves. Put Humble in ffs.

Yep :x

 

[hybrid_tiger]

Heighington its absolutely DREADFUL. He is a complete liability in attack and especially defense. How the f**k does he play 80, HOW???!!!

 

[Old Time Tiger]

except for sheens

why oh why does he need to carry a 9 on the bench? OK Farah has had one shite week but the fact that he said he was going to play meant to me at least, that he was there for 80 minutes. I would then have played Humble.

Hindsight.........look at the backline that finished the 1st half. If Humble was on the bench it would have / should have / could have been a straight Humble to 1 or better still, Humble to half, Marshall and Ayshford out one and Ryan to fullback.

 

[leoc]

Are they F..ken Serious!!! Newcastle are Shite!! WTF!!

 

[hybrid_tiger]

Joel Reddy, making Tahu look like Inglis.

 

[leoc]

And who the hell was happier with Cashmere than Mason?? Hang your heads!!

 

[hybrid_tiger]

What a joke. Weak as piss.

 

[Tiger05]

That was pathetic. I don't think we have put in such a shithouse performance in a long time.
