Round 12 Gameday vs Knights

[hindy111]

Hey! Oh who am I kidding? I'm a loser :lol:

I told you that last year

 

[Twizzle]

f**k up merkin we want to focus on the negatives!!!

lol

 

[hineyrulz]

How good was BA's answer asking about TV speculation that Gordon had probably played his last game tonight?

"Sorry, I didn't watch the TV, I was watching the game"

Nice. Beau had a nice cheeky laugh at that too...

Saw that :lol:

Ask a dumb question that's the answer you deserve.

 

[Kornstar]

I told you that last year

I've known that I'm a loser a lot longer than you've ever thought it.......

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I'm pretty sure hindyeleven called you a 'looser'

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Which is also how he feels after a visit to the great man.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Thought Alvaro did ok, not flash but does the hard stuff with a great motor. I reckon giving him the remaining of the year in the NRL could be the making of him.

 

[forward pass]

Was anyone else amazed that the Knights too the two points early in the second half? We were absolutely rattled.

 

[eel01s]

Yeah, silly decision.

Thought we were gone when Ross went over at the end, couldn't believe that French saved the certain try!

Next game will be interesting without Taka and Foran. Not sure Foran was worth the risk playing especially as BA knew he wasn't 100%.

Great game from Mau and Scott again.

 

[Gronk]

Agree. Without those two and Taka we would have lost for sure.

 

[Incorrect]

Terepo needs to find that explosiveness he was threatening to bring off the bench earlier in the year again. The last couple of weeks he's not bringing much impact from the bench IMO. We know BA is a fan, he needs to keep working on meeting the expectations.

Anyone got Tepai's stats for last night? nrlstats hasn't got last night's game up yet... he was anonymous in that first half.... maybe he got through a mountain of defensive work but even so, he needs a rocket IMO, and I'm one of his fans....

94 metres / 22 tackles, guessing he was on for 50-60 mins

+1 i know it was a must win game but why push him out there underdone and risk him breaking down leaving you one short on the bench?

Well it's not like we need to wrap him in cotton wool and save him for the Finals.... might as well make the merkin earn some money. Get him out there I say!

Yep, seemingly had us on the ropes and let us off.

He improves every match but I think for next year he's going to need some more help. I'm interested to see what Mannah, Wicks, Terepo, Alvaro, Gower and Moeroa deliver for the rest of the season.

in that case why not send him in to get fixed now? why play him and risk making the injury worse get him 100% for next year

52 minutes in total, had 12 runs for his 94 metres.

We will probably need more output from him next season if we're going to be making the Top 8.

I think we need to look for a prop once a decision is made on Norman. We don't need a top line prop but someone up to NRL standard. Also need to re-sign wicks.

Maybe, he definitely has potential to be a lot better. But watching the last few weeks, I don't think it's lack of effort, it's more how he is being used. He doesn't get a lot of opportunities to show his running game, it's more taking a run on the 3 / 4 the tackle for a settler.
