R22 | Knights 22-38 Roosters @ Hunter | Sun 4pm

[Zoidberg]

If they don't start with:

1. Gagai/Mamo
6. Mullen
7. Roberts
9. Levi

next week I'm going to be pretty cranky. They have looked a million times better since Levi came on...

Mullo is gone for the season champ.

Dumb play by Gids (and the runners) rubs out our slim chances. If there is a Shepard play you have to stop and just get tackled!

 

[Shenry4]

Take out Gids, House, and Uate and we could have a real shake today.

But that would leave us with only 14 players

 

[Rod]

Just as we won't win games playing for 30 minutes, you won't win premierships playing for 50 minutes...

The Roosters wouldn't put the cue in the rack like this if they were playing a finals game. Plus they'd have Pearce.

 

[Swarzey]

Amazing what injecting youth, players who actually want to f**king play and win does to a side.

How about we do that next week?

 

[The Showstopper]

Cogger and Lamb. F### it. Sooner or later they have to be given a initiation.

Meant Gidley and not Mullen. My bad...

Uate was one of best in attack. Made a couple of silly reads but was easily our 2nd best runner of the ball behind only korbin

I must have been watching a different game

 

[Zoidberg]

Need to have Levi on the bench (maybe starting for a game or 2) for the rest of the year. He needs experience and should be our 1st choice next year.

 

[Swarzey]

Get rid of Houston and Newton, bring in Vaivai and Fitzgibbon. Move Tapine into the run on side for Scott and blood Yates on the bench (f**king deserves it after his season so far IMO). No more Randell, Levi on the bench for Clydsdale. Gidley back to halfback with Mamo in the jumper.

Problem lies with the senior players. Get rid of them and the rest of the year will be easier to handle.

 

[Noname36]

It's gotten to the stage where I don't care what he often offers in attack, Gagai shouldn't be allowed in first grade while he is defending the way he does.

I know he has a lot of friends in the shit defenders group but he's by far the worst and at least blokes like Aku, while looking geniused, at least try to tackle.

 

[Burwood]

Gagai shouldn't be allowed near centre until next season, and only then if he fixes up those glaring problems he has with defending.

Put him in at fullback, Mamo to the wing, and one of the Mata'utia brothers into the vacant centre position. Ross can go back to being the man in NSW Cup.

 

[Noname36]

Fullback seems like too much of a reward to me. Mamo to fullback for mine. Gidley to halves. Gags to NSW Cup to work on his defence.

Lol good try.
He should've been the fullback at the start of the season.
Best playmaker in the team.

 

[DOGS AND EELS!!!]

Cogger and Lamb. F### it. Sooner or later they have to be given a initiation.

In all seriousness, when do you think these two would be given a go? Maybe a year or two?

 

[DOGS AND EELS!!!]

Usual question, how did Sione play? Only watch the last 30 mins of the game, how was he in the 1st half? Did his defense hold against Ferguson?

 

[Noname36]

I know he's your cousin or whatever mate but you need to be able to look at it objectively.

He has massive issues defending. It's not a simple matter of missing a few tackles, he doesn't even try most of the time. We saw it again today he tries to go for the low percentage intercept because he's too scared to mark his man, and another try he just stood there.

He's good in attack but honestly it's getting to the stage where his work in attack isn't making up for the woeful defence. You're also overrating his playmaking skills. Yes he can throw a nice pass but I've also seen him butcher about 50 overlaps because he didn't want to pass the ball.

I think he needs some time defending in NSW Cup for his own good more than anything else. Let him get some confidence doing it against lower quality players so he might at least try to tackle in FG.

 

[Tom155]

Good effort in the 2nd half, if we could get that for 80 minutes we will do alright but cant keep playing hard for just 30ish minutes each week and expect to win.

Also our spine looks 100x better next season if Levi starts which he should.

1. Mamo
6. Mullen
7. Hodkinson
9. Levi

Much better than the crap we have trotted out in the past.

Had a terrible read in defence early on that led to a try but after that I thought he played well.

 

[Spot On]

Worst f**king defensive centre in the game. Absolutely no idea. I laughed at the idea if him playing fullback but there is no other option. Get him out of the defensive line ASAP and hope he can earn some of his over valued contract from the No 1 jersey.
