Rnd 5 TLT vs Raiders - The White Board Cup

[Gronk]

Ethan Strange has played 4 games and Blaize has only played 2, you morans.

 

[JokerEel]

Excited still to see Blaize have another crack and he will kill it as long as he works on his defence

I am still of the opinion Browns a 5/8 and the Club should have taken the punt with Sanders at 7.

It was time to see what Sanders has instead of replacing a half with 5/8.
We lacked organisation so obviously. Everyone except BA can see it.
Just dumb!

How has Sanders' organisation been in reserve grade?

Shit.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

So pretty much as expected from a bloke who was playing SG Ball last year. Hopefully Drown takes the current opportunity to improve his own decision making and communication.

 

[JokerEel]

How has Sanders' organisation been in reserve grade?

Better than Browns who pretty much has been playing first grade for the past 5 seasons with Moses.

 

[Gherkin]

Sanders isn't up to first grade at the moment. Would have him behind both Asi and Hands as an option to replace Moses

Hands hasn't shown anything as a half.

If Sanders isn't up for first grade when was Blaize ever up for it?

Asi I can agree with but the club should have had him playing 7 in cup

Blaize hasn't shown that he's up to playing in the halves in 1st grade or that he has 1st grade level defence in any position. He is a good ball runner though and I think they kept him in first grade to build his confidence and to continue the momentum from his debut where he showed some positive signs. with the ball in hand .
IMO Sanders is a year away in all aspects of his game.

Agree totally and it seems our R&R have not been looking forward to have a back-up half in place if Asi isn't the back up.

Penrith have done it perfectly over th years..

Sullivan
Cogger
Schneider

Manly signed one for injuries and cover for DCE during origin as well.

 

[Gazzamatta]

I watched NRL 360. When they said they approached Mitchell Pearce 's brother to approach Mitchell I near wet myself. It appears our club has all the numbers of all the brothers of all the current and ex NRL players on file.

Did they actually say that because Pearce i dont think he actually has a brother does he???

He has 2 sisters but i never recall any brother in the loop.

Shows the approach was a fabrication and they have no clue whatsoever.

 

[JokerEel]

Yawn.

I agree you think the club would get it right by now..

indeed

100% it's BS Pearce has said someone around Parramatta contacted him..

Around?

If they club contacted him you would just say the club made contact with me and inquired.

Heard a theory that it was a high profile fan, but why they made the approach unsolicited then would be interesting to find out

Who has looked good in reserves? A number of players have stepped up in firsts.
Blaize is not one of them.
May as well play a half thats not up to it then a second 5/8.
Clunk on!
