Round 12 v Manly

[martielang]

Fui played a full year in the backrow for a much stronger side then ours just two years ago. He's got more upside then what he's showing. The whole teams playing like a busted atm.

Yep. People need to keep this in mind. No one in this side is playing to their potential, they are all capable of much more.

The most games Fuimaono has played in a season is 15 back in 2017. He had a 40% win rate that season and Souths missed the finals... and half those games he played were at centre.

Last year he played 5 NRL matched for Souths winning only 1 of those... in a very strong team that went on to week 3 of finals without him in it.

I know you have a hard on for shit players. But what you said is not even close to true.

Yeah I struggle to find someone that hasn't gone backwards

 

[franklin2323]

Can we be besties?

I agree 100%. He's no more a utility than any other player. You could throw Tim Grant into the centres and he would be able to do the same job as Fuimaono (ie. A poor one).

Sadly though our roster is weak and some of our players have done things to get on Ivans bad side. Sele has paid massively for sleeping through his alarm...

I am a Sele fan but he can't play centre if needed. He is a middle

He couldnt play centre any worse than Fuimaono. No one could do worse than he did. So that reasoning doesn't work.

Tyrell had a shocker no doubt but let’s give him a break hey, he covered Waqa well last week and outside of the tigers game has been good. I’m positive if he has to play there again he will do much better.

Tigers game he had not one session as centre before the game.

Tigers game he had not one session as centre before the game.

Yet that's the position he has been playing in our reserve grade side and being able to cover centre is supposedly why he needs to be on our bench. In which case he should be able to slot into centre without a session there.

If he cant slot kn there better than anyother player could. It's not exactly a reason to pick him. Sele could easily do the job just as well if not better.

Edit
For the record I have no issue accepting no training sessions at centre contributed to him being so bad. I have issue with his 'versatility' getting him in the team when he's no better at the other positions than anyone else would be. He's an average second rower who has poorly covered centre a bunch of times. Something any second rower can do.

I’ve only seen sele play in the middle for us. Correct me of I’m wrong but he’s not an edge forward, he’d likely not a good job.

Did you just quote yourself under the wrong account lol...

Nah, I was talking to someone else called Mark

 

[GongPanther]

Same as those who forecasted the last election result.

Now both sides $1.92. Yeo back in the centres is a big in. We need to transform last weeks determination to this match, and go from there onwards. One game at a time..

 

[GongPanther]

Fox Sports' predicted line up has Martin and Ellis in the centres.

Is that legit or taking the piss?

More like drinking piss going by the centre lineup with Nadan & Yeo.

 

[Marky Mark]

Every post he writes confuses the shit out of me.

Haha - it's all about individually wrapped cheese

Why certainly kind Sir.

It's time Sele's little snooze is forgotten about, for the good of the team.

So the coach is dumb

For once you may have checkmated me with your facts lol

Thought he played more backrow & Souths went better then that tbh.

Still think he can work as a backrow option off the bench. Writing him off based off his one day at centre for us seems strange.

Now for the good news
Referee is Ben Cummins Since 2006 we have had him 44 times for 15 wins - 34%
Peter Gough Since 2016 we have had him 5 times for 1 win - 20%

For those of you who don’t know much about Naden watch last word with Ivan on the club website, at the end a reporter asks about Naden and they show a couple of clips of him in our 20’s, tall, fast good finisher, just what we’ve been looking for

At least he didn’t pull out 10 pages of stats

Oh shit I didn't know we had Cummins.
Lets hope we are due for a win under him.
