So Moses won’t actually play as he’s in jersey 19?

Unlimited interchanges in the PM game

Pezet’s a decent kicker apparently..

 

[Timana]

Moses/Wishart combo.

It's what i think is the best 6 for us.

We lack players who support.

Iongi isn't a support style player as he believes he's the type that chimes into the backline to throw a pass or dummy and score. So instead of sniffing around supporting, he is getting ready for the next play.

Joash is the same. Wants to be the playmaker not the support act.

I feel Pezet is also the same.

There is no glory being a support player. Support, nothing, Support, nothing, Support, nothing, and you might get 1 or 2 that actually pays off. It is hard work.

That's where I feel Wishart fits. He will support and support and do all the hard stuff.

Couldn’t disagree more…

That's where I feel Wishart fits

He’s a utility at best. Not a starter.

 

[Pazza]

what?

When I was reading that all I could think of was that beautiful Paulo offload

 

[Gary Gutful]

I think Iongi’s support play is good.

 

[Timana]

That was 1 game. What about the games where we made break after break and no one supported

 

[Obscene Assassin]

Can you show proof of this?

This is true, he was a poor in that aspect for a good part of the year

A few mentioned this, during the game day threads throughout the year

but....

Most of his other parts of FB play are outstanding for a rookie season

I think we have seen signs of improved support play later in the year, he can build on it

He will get better at this, particularly as we play better as a team like back end of this year

 

[King-Gutho94]

Wishart is a 14 at best who can play 6, 7 or 9.

He certainly isnt comfortable playing centre as we found out last week.

I think his a good player in a strong system. But take him out of Melbourne i think people will be dissapointed with higher expectations.

 

[RealdEel]

Can you show proof of this?

He has also taken a few offloads in support this year from Kuatoga.

 

[Lemon Squash]

Okay but you are using one specific example of where Wishart supported to make a claim he does it all the time?

 

[Twizzle]

Ordinary game, Mitch's kicking was a bit rusty.

Ball handling was average. Big difference in the defensive structure between Oz and PNG.
