Round 13 - Dolphins

[St.Brisbane]

This should maybe go in the getting ahead of ourselves thread

Like this a lot.
Beat the phins minus Kafusi then ambush the baby panthers.
Is it a baby panther? Or should I say panther cubs perhaps?

 

[Blood Shot Eyes]

We will have to be at the top of our game to beat the Dolphins....I watched some of their game last night and they have come a long way for their first season.....

Tigers and Bulldogs with the by next week

I assume origin will take our best player

Is JDB getting a Blues jersey. Deserves one.

Hunt should back up v panthers.

 

[justadragon]

I cant tell you how embarrassing it looks to see this mighty club at the bottom of the ladder. The club as whole has itself solely to blame for this disaster. Anyway I will wait and see what the team looks like on Tuesday, the adrenalin of last week has now gone so its knuckle down time and continue to build structures in both attack and defence. Amone and Sloan will really need to step up.

Musgrove in place of Lawrie

Lawrie injured? A big loss as Block puts in every week.
Musgrove should already be in our 13 as he has been averaging 170RM /390 PCM this season.

Tigers and Bulldogs with the by next week

Yes even though we won .
Still bad habits of leading and nearly stuffing it.
Can't see us winning without Hunt.
Who'd of thought the Tigers win by 48 and the good old Titans bottle it again.
The games v Tigers and other winnable games we need to win.and hopefully jag a upset win.

 

[baggygreen man]

..and we will remain on the bottom if Carr continues to disregard good Ressie form like his predecessor, our middle defense does not improve, ditto our fitness and our attacking structure continues like a broken wind up doll.

Assuming Sullivan gets picked at 7 it’s a really good opportunity for him to make a statement. I’m not 100% certain Hunt will be around next year, all depends on what the new coach wants.

Hearing M.Molo will be picked.
He has done nothing.
Not big enough.

I hope not if I am 100% honest.

We lose JDB as well as Lawrie and we might as well not run out.

Can't fault De Belin's effort. One player that does give all each week and improves our chances our winning rather than be a liability. I don't think he has been Origin standard in attack but definitely defensively.

 

[Illusion]

Now the conundrum of where does everyone play with SOO on the horizon.

Sullivan 7 who plays 6 for mine let it be Amone and hope like hell it's not Bird
Liddle 9 who plays 14 for mine let it be CM (we have to cut the umbilical chord to Mybe)
Pudding out so Musgrove in and Kerr stays on the bench.

We have to find out sooner or later so why not do it right now.

Spot on we ain't playing final footy so give the young halves time to gell in top grade , might find Amone plays better with Sully at 7 ......

Amone has had nearly 2 years playing top grade , we really need to give Sully time not one , two games then punt him , he hasn't been able to settle into his Favoured position I know Hunt wants to play there , but Hunt doesn't do it for me at 7 can't close out a game , they were lucky to get up yesterday , Hunt is competitive and tries hard , but in my opinion not a genuine 7 , so Sullivan is young give him a chance ......

He is our only forward other than JDB that deserves a spot on our pack. 396 PCM yet he is not a big bloke for a bookend but he plays with passion and intensity. Would not let us down in a Kangaroo jumper.

I hope not if I am 100% honest.

Excuse my sarcasm if you were referring to Ben Hunt as our best player. Week in week out Jack is our best. The bloke is gold.

I agree re Sully....problem there is he gets bugger all quality time in 1st grade and in particular at half back......there's only one way these kids will blossom is if their given much more exposure than they are.....at least this week he can have a go .....sadly these young kids have for to long been the victims of unispiring and over cautious coaches that have played favourites.............. end of story
