Round 22 v The Sharks

[Chins get the wins]

Only to the uneducated

Unless he can start and play 60min next year it's been a complete failure. Need to get Kenny back to 14

 

[Luke Bowden]

He's way behind where the club wanted him to be

No he’s not

He will, he could do that quite comfortably now.

You need to focus on something else. You’re way off the mark here.

Another sweeping statement Chins. That's 2 in the last week.

How do you know what the club's expectation of Luke is? Are you on the coaching team..........

You and I plus almost everyone on this forum (except for maybe Blade) have no idea in this matter.

Well Blade himself said we are after a hooker. That speaks volumes. I like Soni's attacking game and I want him to succeed but it's not looking good

And the only reason this might have changed is Kenny's improvement not Soni

Still doesn't explain you confidently exclaiming that Luke is way behind where the club wants him to be.

Are you on the coaching team. To make such bold unfounded statements.

Or is it WHAT YOU THINK. But you've pretended that it's what the club thinks.

Hahaha it's almost finals and he's playing 15mins. It's clear it hasn't gone to plan

That is YOUR thinking. NOT necessarily the club or coaches.

Oh Alice your name suits you well sometimes

You don’t know what you’re looking at, you’ve proven that time and time again.

The club wouldn’t have extended him and kept him in our top 17 if they thought the same as you.

Tell me the plan Ivan.

 

[Chins get the wins]

Tell me the plan Ivan.

By round 22 we'd want "our best hooker" if he was that playing at least 40mins

Exactly. I'll take note of what Ivan chooses, and selects. Rather a pleb like me, with a keyboard onboard.

That’s not the plan, that’s what you want.

Our team doesn’t run a dummy half oriented attack, it hasn’t for the last three years. We use multiple first receivers to bring the forwards onto the ball.

The reason that Soni is sitting on the bench longer is the job that Kenny doing and the fact that we are never chasing points.

Sonj is great at jumping out of Dummy half and bringing players onto the ball, that’s what he brings.

You need to stop comparing us to other sides and trust the process.

So keep trying though matey,

Hahahaha f**k me that's a dud take

 

[Chins get the wins]

You are proving my point for me. So Soni can only play 1 way? Api played within himself 99% of the time here. How handy would Luke's grubbers into the ingoal be for most of the game? Would be amazing

 

[Luke Bowden]

Hahahaha f**k me that's a dud take

Thats not actually my opinion or thoughts, that’s quite clearly what’s been playing out in front of you each week for the last 3.5 seasons. Do you actually watch the games?

Why do you think we didn’t even entertain paying more for Api?

Because in our system, hooker isn’t a position we need spend money on…..

We don’t need goal line drop outs, we need the ball in play and teams to be pinned in their 20 for multiple sets.

Grubbers are good if they lead to a try, 7 tackle sets and goal line drop outs are not good. I’d rather us just take the tackle on the 1m than give up at goal line drop out.

I want them for tries not repeat sets.
I know you're one of the ones on here who understands Nathan's kicking (practicality based of NFL). With high bombs, for some reason he tried to change it last week and the Dogs made more meters off "good kicks to the corner"
