R1 v Titans.

[Jersey No 14]

Moving forward - and not dwelling on history.
Next - Dolphins.
Sunday arvo football. Let’s see what they’ve got.

Could M Molo off the bench do some time at dummy half . He has the shape of piggy Riddell

I must have been watching a different game to others with M Molo. Straight out of the team for mine. He tries hard, but he gets dominated in contact every time he runs the ball. He's no necessity to this team, he's a cup player. And at hooker.. no way, just too slow

 

[BIG RIG]

I must admit a 4 man forward bench would work a treat :
Luciano
RFM
M Molo
Fifita

starting pack
JDB
Eisenhuth
Sua
Lawrie
Liddle
Molo

My Pack for RD 2 would be

8. Francis Molo
9. Jacob Liddle
10. Blake Lawrie
11. RFM
12. Jaydn Su’a
13. Tom Eisenhuth
BENCH
14. Michael Molo
15. Hame Sele
16. Luciano Leilua
17. JDB

 

[FlickFlano]

why? BMM/Fifita/Muhl played a combined 40 minutes ... there is absolutely zero need to have a bench like that, they simply wont play and dont need to play.

One of Muhl/Marschke are needed simply to cover ... if they play great if they dont need to play thats fine too.

 

[kit66]

fair fair.
Long term Frank Molo might be on the chopping block unless he’d want to take a major pay cut. Good player but the value not really there.

always hard to drop players after a performance like that. They all played well.

I think Frank will hit best form this year. Last night 118 mtrs, 32 tkls 1 miss and in the Wests trial 164mtrs, 36 tkls 1 miss. Not the time to be dropping him. Bench is a possibility but we're not exactly flush with props. I can see M.Molo making way when Sele, Luc and Lawrie are all fit but he's been great too so far, handy back up.

 

[baggygreen man]

Make him captain of the Reggies

Even Hunt looked good last night

Because he did not hog the play.

 

[baggygreen man]

Fifita

Dont agree about this bloke. He had good impact for his limited minutes. Strong carries, over 10m a time. Like him to start for Frank Molo and to be brutally honest, BMM and Muhl are not FG standard Flanno.

Flanno just said on mum frank lost 8kg in off season but put on 3kg of muscle.. he can only improve as he adapts to flannos game plan

 

[Dragon David]

One certainty under Hook….if the team played like shit in the first half…they would play worse in the second half…this…death and taxes were certainties.

All true R&WTILLIDIE, lol!!

 

[Spazer]

I think Eisenhuth to start is a must

Yup I agree he was great at lock. JDB to bench prop with Sele as the rotations perhaps? And Lawrie and Franky for the aggression.

 

[baggygreen man]

How did our Ressies go yesterday. Like the look of the halves Glover and Ralph?

 

[baggygreen man]

Yup I agree he was great at lock.

His stats refute that. A piddling 45m from 8 carries while with his defense which is supposed to be his strong suit, I saw him jumper grabbing and going third into tackles. Compare that to JDB who almost always is first into the tackle and he never jumper grabs. To be honest I did not see all of the game, but what I did see of Eisenhuth did not impress me. Did Flanno see the same.

Eisenhuth's role is not to be a metre eater. JDB as a starting prop (where he should be making more metres than the lock) ran for less metres than Eisenhuth, so your point there is invalid. Eisenhuth had one missed tackle, de Belin 2. De Belin made only 2 more tackles than Eisenhuth. Eisenhuth ran for a total of 54m by the way, JDB 41.. if 45m was considered 'piddling" for Eisenhuth, I'd love to grab your thoughts on JDB's run metres? De Belin also played only 3 less minutes than Eisenhuth. Would love to grab your thoughts on these stats mate, cheers.

 

[This Year?]

I'm a proud Saints supporter this morning.
We defended our errors, did the tough stuff and reaped the rewards. In the end the opposition were mentally broken. Dessie's face said it all.

 

[BLM01]

Yep. Also to Dean Young who may turn out to be our most astute buy. And there is attack coach Ben Woolf plus fitness guru Dan Lawson who in a few years time may take us to similar heights as he took our 2010 side.

Ben Woolf?..you are forgetting our fill in coach from last year..namely Carr

 

[maestro1]

He will play wing and none of those mentioned play wing ..To’o and Ado Carr and possibly trbjovic playing for wing spots .. Ado carr out for 4 weeks already

To'o will be one winger and Ado Carr will be the other, unless injuries or suspension play their part. McGuire has also said that Suailili is in his plans. Plus Bradman Best and Kotoni Staggs will definitely be in the mix, even if they are centres. Lomax has only played one NRL game on the wing

 

[Lennyb]

Rewatched it before todays game. Pretty sure the neighbours didnt know, maybe they heard a few claps and the odd yesssss.

 

[TheRev]

How did our Ressies go yesterday. Like the look of the halves Glover and Ralph?

They played today (covered on NSWRLTV) the forwards were ok but the spine (including glover/ralph was brain-numbingly slow and predictable).. that team really needs Marschke and a fullback I think...

 

[SEAT 1A]

Wow, where did that come from. Can't be negative after blowing the Tit's away.

The new buys made such difference and a special mention for Kyle, hope the emblem was a big stuff you.

No white flags, haven't played faster in ages, we have a coach, by their dressing room, it was a morgue and all the smiles in ours.
