Round 11 vs the Rabbitohs

[betcats]

Only one person to blame for not getting more minutes

Rubbish.

 

[Smug Panther]

I thought he was going well enough in the limited time

He’s been good but he’s not looking like a future star by any means, not this year.

Rubbish.

What has he done to not get more minutes?

 

[franklin2323]

I thought he was going well enough in the limited time

even allowing for the lack of minutes. Stats wise he stands up against the props Fish aside of course

 

[betcats]

What has he done to not get more minutes?

He has not demanded more minutes with his form, he’s just been a solid bench prop. You don’t just hand guys minutes cause they are supposed to be good, make them earn it.

He is gaining more metres a game then Moses from 10 mins less a game. Tackle % is right up there too

No he isn’t. And Moses has made a shit load more tackles and more post contact metres.

 

[Smug Panther]

Wait Leota wasn't suspended? Good for us but late dumb high shots like that deserve a holiday

 

[franklin2323]

No he isn’t. And Moses has made a shit load more tackles and more post contact metres.

He has also played more minutes. So the total is more but ave

Leinu is ave 10m per run. Better then all the starters

Ave 9 runs a game for 24 mins

Leota and Eisenhuth 10 a game from 31mins

Leinu 14 tackles a game. Ave 0 a game. 4 missed in total. 92% tackle rate. Eisenhuth and Leota 91

Nothing to show why less game time anywhere

He’s not fit enough seems to be the answer. Our starters are doing it against better players and fresh defence to begin the game keep that in mind. Leota, fish and huth averaging a lot more than 14 tackles a game, defensive work rate may be the reason cause the minutes difference doesn’t make up for his lack of tackles

 

[betcats]

I think there is a lot more to lose by handing a young a spot and lots of minutes and never dropping them(I use that term lightly as we have a lot of depth) than there is to lose by moving a young down for a few weeks. How many young guys have we seen walk into first grade and never kick on despite being immensely talented? Heaps. Dallin, waqa, Carty are the most recent ones.

A few weeks out of the top team will just make Spencer hungrier to work harder to get that spot back if he has the right attitude it doesn’t hurt his development long term, I’ve seen plenty of guys who were hurt by being gifted a first grade spot with bows and ribbons, that makes guys entitled a lot of the time and they stop working as hard as they need to cause they feel like they have made it and they never live up to their potential.

 

[Kilkenny]

Spencer doesn’t turn 21 till September he stills very young, still growing and developing.

He’s got a huge future and it will probably be to his benefit in the short term to play more minutes in NSW Cup.

I suspect the answer is to do with not wanting to burn out a young player working in the toughest position on the field. There is nothing in the stats, or, when you watch the game that would suggest there is any issue with his game. In fact in round 5, according to the Obstruction Rule, "he smashed out 14 runs in just 26 minutes" for 183m. Numbers that Leota could only match if he smuggled a Harley Davidson on the field and Eisenhuth could match if he strapped himself to JFH's back using a climbing harness and gaffer tape.

He made a good 60 or 70 metres off one run in that game, against the raiders right after half time he made that big break

I'm thinking Souths and Manly in an all up is a good bet. Will get 10-1.

One of your best. Now I can't get the image of Leota on a Harley scooting around and Huth strapped to the JFH's back out of my head.

You dumb merkin. Someone ban this troll

 

[betcats]

Our defence should dominate field position against south’s I just can’t see there forwards making much of an impact against us. As long as we don’t give them easy field position we will be good, their edge defence is suspect and they have some issues with ball handling at times they really don’t worry me to much as long as we turn up and play near our best.
