Round 21 V Sharks

[herbert henry1908]

He plays more straighter than Luai. Looks a more complete half I'd play Luai as 9 or 1.

Luai’s best game for us remains the one he played at 7 against the warriors, his worst game was the one he played fullback against the broncos, and he’s been pretty ordinary out of dummy half in the minutes he’s played there.

To me he’s a half only, wether he’s good enough to make it is another question.

I don't see the consistency there to be an NRL half. Looks like another Johnson to me

Johnson has played 175 NRL games, not many halves do.

if we could get a Johnson out of him we’d be doing well, far more likely he’s nowhere near Johnson.

Well said. Johnson is a brilliant halfback when he is in form. He may be inconsistent but he is almost unplayable at his best.

Maybe his role is 30 mins off the bench as it has been. I have no doubt he will start in the 6 how long he stays there is the question

If Burton is the ducks guts, I’d prefer

1. Staines/Laurie
6. Burton
7. Luai
9. Cleary

How many times a season do you see him at his best though? Personally I think the Sharks were better off keeping Flanagan instead of getting Johnson

That is ideal but I don't see daddy moving Nathan

Ivan won’t see out the five years, I’d bet on it.

No but they won't sack him before his 3rd season.. By that time the good young halves might be elsewhere

Flanno Snr signed both of them plus Chad.
Once he (Snr) was gone it was only a matter of time before the rumblings started with The Flanno Clan. The right move was to remove Jnr from the club. The situation was causing issues.

 

[Abacus]

Before we get too excited about Burton, I thought I'd just raise the "Ivan" option of Crichton debut and Whare to 5/8.

The upside to that is we still get a debut

 

[Whino]

They any good??

We over rate a lot of our juniors but these 2 have the potential to be class.
Lenui is good strong running prop and Burton has attacking flair. 2 good prospects that if they don't get overwhelmed by their debut should do well.

Well I would like to see them get overwhelmed just for this week

 

[Whino]

So Kikau gets suspended for a late hit that didn't injure anybody but Burgess gets off on a tackle that left a player concussed.
2 of the 3 clowns that suspended Kikau let Burgess off.
Dead set the NRL is inconsistent.

If you score more than 12 points this week you win. Our attack sucks.

 

[Black Magik]

It’s almost as if Ivan reads this forum and says, “Yeah let’s try that!”

I don’t I swear

 

[franklin2323]

We won't score 2 tries...so score 2 tries and you guys win
