Round 16 vs Storm

[nontime111]

I love the look of Nichol/Field halves combo, I think they could unseat HUnt and Norman easily should be there every game! as for Allgood mark my words, Bromwich is shitting bricks at the thought GO Mary!! back to under 10s woy woy

 

[hermidale1]

Mark Carroll was full of praise for Timm's performance against Panthers CC saying "unbelievable" but can't even get a look in when all SOO players unavailable in preference to Lats & Allgood, who have both been on Mary's Xmas card list forever. I FKN give up......

Mark Carroll struggles to put 2 words together. Timms is straight up and down and that's all. He struggles with lateral movement. Kerr is a better option.

Nicholls, Allgood & Latimore being picked says it all.
None will be here next year but we must pick them this game because coach loves "experienced players" in must win game situations of which we lose most.
Of all the games he needed to pick a back on the bench this is the one and he doesn't do it and we need to strengthen the middle with a person who can make a difference over what we have had at 13 especially considering we are losing Sims, Frizz, Vaughan
Dufty
Pearson
Lafai
Aitken
Rava
Field
Clune
Vaughan
Robson
Lawrie
Host
Leilua
Mc Innes

K Sims
Kaufusi
Kerr
Pereira

Wasn't hard really but coach cant see past his nose.

Agree
OT.
That is a far better team and better balanced. But clune is not available for NRL as he's a part-time player and no part timer can play the NRL unless he's got a contract.

Why is Maranta now not good enough to be in the 21 when we are missing a stack of players.
Don’t tell me L plate is admitting he got it wrong the last 2 weeks.

I'm not a gambler but I just put a bet on Storm 51+ at 126-1

CC game against Penrith (who were 1st)

Allgood (A) v Timm (T)

Minutes played - (A) 46 mins playing lock - (T) 80 mins playing prop
Runs and Metres - (A) 10 runs 91 metres - (T) 21 runs 196 metres
PCM - (A) 37 - (T) 68
Tackle breaks - (A) 1 - (T) 2
Tackles - (A) 24 - (T) 41
Missed tackles - (A) 2 + 2 ineffective - (T) 1 + 3 ineffective

Allgood selected in the 17, whilst Timm on the extended bench. Can someone explain the logic in that?

I think also that young Timm would have a point to prove to Bellamy that he should have been given a chance when he was at the Storm, but given their forward strength you can sort of understand why.

Likely a bonus clause in his contract if he plays a game in FG - Mary looking out for his mates

hope it was not for much man - thats a donation, they are down serious firepower and drags will have tails somewhat up after a scrappy win last week

$20 mate. I reckon Storm will score at will

They put 52 points on us last year in the corresponding game with S.O.O. players out. Storm replacements a notch above ours plus Cameron Smith.

Can he not be upgraded as I though we had 2 vacancies to fill and only saw the signing of Kaufusi?

Plus they have and will use a four man bench properly unlike us.

I guess so but he has a real job.
I think he a teacher if I remember correctly.
He may not want to give it up.

They will probably get our hopes up at some stage.
But we all know how it will end.
Personally I think we will struggle to get to double figures.

So here was a game impacted by SOO, so an opportune time to blood young players, when everyone understands teams are not at full strength.

Mary misses the opportunity.
1. Timm is only on the extended bench. He has been playing well in CC. And up against his old team that would be noce to watch.
2. Joe Lovodua - Would like to have seen him run around in FG. Recce Robinson is leaving so he should be playing out his time in CC. Good knows that very other FG coach would have not selected a player leaving the club.
3. Allgood - Why is he in the team. He has been playing alright in CC but he is not our future.


Now i'm trying to work out is it Mary has a lack of imagination? or he really has no idea what he is doing?

Like last year..not. Got found out in defence and the less time available and speed you have to attack with.

Nothing to work out if you are honest with yourself
Not only does he have no idea he has NFI whatsoever

There's assistant coaches in other teams that would definitely do a better job with the team we have
