Round 20 v The Northern Beaches Scum

[betcats]

Merrin talking about how RCG is a leader and gets everyone fired up in the paper today. He’s not our most talented forward but he is our most important forward easily imo.

Some people just lift those around them, RCG is one of those players.

For sure. There's been a noticeable difference in line speed since Reg has been out.

Apparently Peachey has been asking to play FB.

Interesting. The most important part of that screenshot is the fact he has never played there though imo.

Yeah poor bloke doesn't have a position so he can't be elite at anything. I know Gus said Griffin isn't playing mindgames but I just can't see Peachey getting everything right. He'll stuff up and it won't be his fault.

It does seem suited to him. Strange no one has played him there before. I guess being so good at many positions makes him to valuable to drop for a few weeks to play FB in NSW Cup for a few weeks

 

[franklin2323]

He is right...Coach Ciraldo or coach Gus on the other hand

He does that no matter where you play him to be fair

He did it last year.

Exactly. I remember a Dragons player in 2016 complaining about bing a utility player for that reason.

And Slater always wanted to field in the slips.

Broken play is Peachey's thing. Not sure if he can catch a bomb, position himself in defense or god forbid play fullback in the attacking 20.

I think he will be a 'floater' this week. I hate that word.

Most of our team were floaters last week

It is the positioning in defence that concerns me the most. Luai got caught out twice last week and he had played FB before.

DCE has a good kicking game and Peachey will be targeted for sure.

 

[franklin2323]

He did it last year.

He doesn't do the gameday tactics though. He prepares the team to play then Ciraldo takes over. So he would be the one changing teams on gameday

You want Peachey following the ball. so FB makes sense....Whether he can play there is another thing

It is a bad place to be in but you are always assured a place in the side atleast

 

[Fangs]

He has a chance to establish himself as one of the great floaters of the game..

and almost nothing RCG does takes any talent just aggression. Makes Merrin and Tamou look soft as f**k really. Fire up you merkins

It seems so simple. Run hard, tackle hard, limit your f**k ups....and yet some do it so much better than others.

After thinking on it a bit more, I'm with those who think Peachey won't line up at FB. If he was it'd make more sense to name him at centre, with Whare on the wing and DWZ at FB, giving Barrett much less time to prepare for a guy who will be exploitable in the position if we're lucky. I think 1) DWZ, 4) Peachey, 5) Whare is more likely.

But if we do line up as named, I really really hope he has a blinder. Obviously I want us to win, but also for Peachey himself. He's to some degree sacrificed his own career to cover whatever position we've been short in and as such is seen only as a 14. With Flash in his twilight, the Titans don't really have a long term fullback (as far as I'm aware) which would give Peachey a decent shot at cementing a position.

Don't think it'll happen for a variety of reasons, but it would be nice if it did.
