Rd 17 vs dogs

[Chins]

Mitch Kenny had 69 tackles on Thursday night. What an incredible effort. I think that’s the highest of the season!

He's a psychopath but in super close games like Thursday where our attack is being shut down we really need more at 9.

Nice!

I did tell you guys a while ago that Luron was the one.

His brother the jury is out on, maybe he switches to the forwards and can fill a need on the edges

Well we did have a guy who could play 9 sit on the bench unused the last 2 weeks...

So the side has been set up to have that happen

Are you convinced on talagi yet?? You were very adamant in the pre season he didn't have a kicking game and had cole well ahead of him..

Not only does he have a good long boot hes short kicking is coming on nice. Defence is getting better every week and hes really starting to blossom.

I think lemoto will be the next nrl prop we have now luron has cemented himself worthy of our 17.

Schnieder is strong enough defensivley to play 9. Hes all heart and i admire how hard he tries..

However if you are going to spell kenny for am impact guy the only real person we have atm is sommo. I quite like what sommo brings in attack.

The issue as ive always said is the side doesnt adjust well to his different style of play mid game..

Thats on nath, yeo, dyl and ivan imo.. they should be able to adjust better when he comes on but the team looks to play the same style as when kennys on when sommos on and it doesn't really work.

I see a bit of wade egan in sommo..hes crafty and quick enough without being fast..but he has decent deception at the ruck and can find holes for himself or others.

I would also like to see cole get a crack in the 14. I think he has the defense to play in the middle and pffers good coverage.

Brad imo and i think most other peoples just doesnt have enough creativity in his game to be a regular nrl player.. you need someone in that 14 role that can spark something. We dont need a guy to come on and keep making tackles.. we know Kenny can go for 80 and make 60 tackles and keep the intensity up.. hes a machine.

I wouldn't spell Kenny, he'd just tackle in the middle

he has a decent kicking game but he would do a job from fullback.

For example on Thursday we have Nathan carrying an injury. Talagi had 1 kick

The week before with no Nathan, Talagi was the senior half and gave us 4 kicks.

This is in a side where the fullback and hooker has no kicking game.

This is why if we carry Toelau, Laurie or someone on the bench then we need to get them game time to take the pressure off

Ivan is like 20 years into his career and is still to figure out how to get a 14 into the game

He can kick and i wish he'd do it more he has a Burton sized monster but hes not for whatever reason. So he might as well have no kicking game.

It is easy these days. Little guys can get by with time in the middle, just takes accepting mistakes will happen

 

[Fangs]

Just let Nathan or BS kick.

Luai kicked short for ages too. That's the role of Tailagi (Or God forbid Dylan Edwards).

Luai evolved though. Once we lost Api he was up to 10 or so kicks a game, last year was close to 50/50.

Yeah well by comparison Tailagi ain't going to be that until 26/27.

He booted one out on the full the other week. Capable kicker but if Nathan or BS play let them do it. Tailagi can focus on the short kick for a drop out.

The test was the Dogs. They lead the comp for charge downs and Cleary was on one leg. We got by just fine with him kicking.

 

[Chins]

Nathan shouldn't be playing let alone kicking atm.
Man the f**k up Blaize

If he doesn't play on Thursday we lose to the Bulldogs.

He is our guy. He plays when we need to win football games.

Yes but we are on target to finish 5-8.

Are we getting through 4 weeks of semi final footy, with Cleary kicking 800m?

One wrong kick and even a wrong step and our year is done. I'd be lying to the NRL and saying he's too hurt for Origin 3

If you want a sure fire way to end our season...

 

[Fangs]

5-8 has been our target for a while now.

Yes I honestly think we will have to. BS will have the same job. I'm not expecting anything different.

One wrong kick and even a wrong step and our year is done. I'd be lying to the NRL and saying he's too hurt for Origin 3

And that's just how it has to be. We stuffed our start to the season so now we push on busted.

Him missing Origin 3 would be a massive bonus.
