parra vs manly trial 2

[hindy111]

Sandow can play one way only.unless we choose to build our team around his style than forget it.Id rather we build it around Hayne and Hoppa

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Oh yes we signed Poore and Tahu and than had to let Mateo go cause we didn't think ahead.Whoops.

Well they where faves for spoon, but just missed 8 , won under 20's and runners up in NSW cup.Its a club on the rise but the soward and Wallace signings are the only questionable ones for me(perhaps panic)

We should of chases WALSH or JOSH MCRONE

Soward and Wallace have both been good enough to get picked for Origin.

Sure it's only NSW but still...

And between them they've lost 5 from 7 I believe.

Speaking of being "good enough for origin", Steve Turner and Jamie Buhrer say hi.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Good first graders, the pair of them. And I never said they were good enough for Origin, I said they were good enough in the NRL to get picked for Origin. NSW only has about ten players good enough to make an impact at Origin level. Turner and Buhrer are as good as dozens of other NSW Origin hopefuls, and some of them have to get picked each year to fill a team.

Turner's win percentage at club level is 63% plus he played in four grand finals. Jamie Buhrer's NRL win rate is also 63%

How they went in Origin is irrelevant. The fact they got picked proves that they are good first graders, just like Soward and Wallace.

Mitchell Pearce's Origin win rate is 25%. I suppose he's not a first grader either? Jarryd Hayne has only won 35%

 

[hindy111]

Neither are superstars but if both regain some form will be excellent buys.Wallace was cheap so its win win.

Actually it proves nothing of the sort. Turners selection proved that his club coach liked him. Buhrers selection proved that Ricky Stuart has no idea how to select a side (whether he was officially a selector or not).

I'll trust the judgement of a couple of NRL premiership and Origin coaches over yours, thanks.

As much as you might hate a coach personally, don't pretend you know more about footy than him. The absolute dumbest professional coach knows more about his sport than any of us.

So are you saying NRL and SOO coaches can't or don't make poor choices/incorrect decisions?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I'm just saying that if they do, you wouldn't know if they did or why, or what their alternatives were.

Every decision carries some risk. Whether it is successful or not doesn't mean they weren't aware of the risk, nor does it mean you were as aware (if at all) of the risk, even if you blurted "Shit decision!" either before or after the fact.

Doesn't mean they were either, though I suspect most NRL coaches so pig headed that they'd never admit to it.

 

[Stagger eel]

I remember a grand final winning coach once selecting a bloke who claimed to have played nfl only to be exposed to be a fraud...

 

[hindy111]

Buhrer was bad pick, considering how many good backrowers NSW have.Turner played when not many choices

We've been coached by a couple of frauds lately.

Oh, you meant the "NFL" player.....

 

[Jake the snake]

Just saw the highlights of the trial against Manly. Whilst the trys were scored Down Toutai's wing it wasn't his fault entirely. Don't know what defence our team has been coach in the preseason but it looks shit. And you know it's shit when players are sliding on the goal line instead of moving up. Toutai was left on 3 on 1 situations in each of the try's and instead if the team moving up they were sliding.

And this is coming from person that doesn't rate Toutai ... But Fair is fair.

 

[hindy111]

Why is Toutai even being played on wing.Id like to think Morgan and Sio are first choice then Radrarda hunt and Falou.

Ffs Morgan isn't first choice winger, I'm not sure why a few on here continue to think that.
He is a centre, he is battling Hoppa and Tonga for the centre spots.

The wing spots are between Sio, hunt, radradra, Folau and Toutai.

Yea I couldn't tell from where I was sitting, and haven't watched the highlights. Who would you say was at fault out of Kelly, Smith and Hoppa?

All of them, hoplessly outnumbered and sliding on the line. It looked like they hadn't been coached.

 

[lingard]

So, on the Fox news this morning, they said that Luke Kelly is definitely the starting half this year and that Sandow will have to play for Wenty.
I think it's the right way to go. A very tough call on the coach's part. I believe Kelly has improvement in him; he's better defensively than Sandow, and he seems more coachable. If I was the coach I would have made this same decision. I can't see Sandow at 14, either. He can't play hooker (because he can't tackle) and, for mine, moving Sandow to half, Peats to lock and Kelly to hooker is too big a disruption - especially to Kelly. If Arthur has faith in Kelly, he should play half for the whole game.
