outside backs and kicking game

outside of mini i think the mental strength and commitment of our outside backs leaves a lot to be desired. they make poor decisions under pressure and go missing in tight games. Perrots absence is only exacerbating this issue.

on top of this what the hell is going on with our 5th tackle options? we just cant seem to build any pressure and have no patience what so ever.

our forwards are great when they aim up we just need some quality play from our outside backs and we will start winning some games.

we need to drop Justin Carney and bring Kane Linnett back. put Graham on the wing until Perrett comes back and leave Aubusson in the second row. Push Anasta back to the second row and bring up another five-eighth from the lower grades. wouldnt mind seeing a bit of Mark Kheirallah or something. Anasta is simply better in the backrow then at five-eighth.

I thought we did okay, our guys are young (save Mini/Graham), but if we stick with BJ i think he will turn out to be a good'n. Carney was always just a Perrett fill in, though I really do think we need a better option for the other Centre.

On another note, i think it's clear our attack is missing Perrett's running from Dummy Half. It was such a big part of our go forward last year and we don't seem the same without it.

That is the only thing we need to do. Linnett is a solid defender and was promising in attack, I am not sure why he has been dropped.

You guys might lose Minichiello for a few matches also.

He was having an x-ray last night on possible broken fingers.

I was standing next to his partner after the match and heard her telling her group of friends. They were waiting for him outside the players entrance outside the SFS.

Has BJ (hehe) ever had a good game. Everytime I watch Roosters he has at least one f**k up.

He's a second rower/centre playing wing. Strong runner, highly talented so can play ok on the wing sometimes but I believe he's playing out of position.

He came from your Dragons at the start of last year and it's been widely reported how Bennett fought to keep him so that's a fair indication of his talent.

Yes it was evident to all on monday just how much we miss him at the club....

That's not true. Anasta is better placed in reserve grade as he is simply not up to first grade standard.

1. Mini
2. Graham
3. Linnett
4. SKD
5. JCarney

should be the backline. kick to SKD and Graham. Perrett replaces whichever winger sucks more when he comes back. BJ belongs in the 17 jumper.

Smith needs to give up on BJ on the wing. FFS how many bad games does he need. Graham should keep the other wing and we need to find someone good to replace him. JCarney has also failed but I'd prefer him there. And fk Anasta out of the 6 he's had enough chances. Can't even kick dropouts properly.

Edit: How long until Perrett comes back?

Hopefully the murmurs than Anasta actually hasn't re-signed are true and he pisses off to Townsville or England or anywhere away from Easts and takes Anthony Minichiello with him.

lmfao

One winger is a soft merkin who won't put the body on the line and the other is shorter than a garden gnome.
