Edwards had a good game so people are targeting Momo just for fun 😂
Momo was good tonight. Not brilliant not poor but good.

I dont rate him and dont think hes in our best 17 but he did well tonight.

Its been the theme forever in here that someone normally gets hammered. Fair enough if they were terrible but he wasnt tonight.

I have spoken, Tago is a hooker.


He looks to small but he handled it tonight pretty easily
Needs to be given a proper go a centre. He carved up teams all year in nsw cup when playing there.

He started one game earlier in the year in 2nd row. We had nothing were getti g done and looked shot. Wallace moved him to centre with 20 to go and he turned the game on its head and won it with induvudual brilliance.

Needs to get first crack at burtons centre spot next year.

You must have gone for a drink when he refused to pass to unmarked Crichton then dropped it. He's a bang average centre who isn't in our best backline.

I reckon he is in Ivan's.

I don't mind Momorovski. I just wish we stuck with these combinations earlier this year to see what they are truly worth. Instead we've decided on a whim that Staines isn't the answer and Momorovski is our number 2 centre.

At least we aren't doing this in a prelim...bit of an improvement from the nightmare of 2020.

He’s great at centre but we have options there I think. He played good minutes in the back row tonight and definitely held his own I think, he’s the type of guy who will find a way to be positive anywhere imo

He's not in out best 30 really
Mate, you need to give up.

You smashed luai for weeks even though he was busted playing without a 7. He was very good tonight.

You smash edwards regularly and he was brilliant tonight. Possibly got mom to go with his mom against broncs only 3 rds ago. 2 man of the match performances or close to in 5 weeks.

You hammer momo (as do i sometimes) but he was good tonight.. no need to smash him after a decent game.

Im all for calling people out after a shit performance but he was ok tonight

That's the biggest problem. Ivan can't let combinations build between centres/wingers.

There must be a pretty decent chance Cleary gets cited for the shoulder charge on Bird. I was very surprised it didn’t get picked up when the try was sent to the bunker after he hit Bird and Bird spilled it.

He could argue that he was just bracing himself but it looked like a classic shoulder charge. We might be without Cleary for the next two games…

Critta did dumb shit are you bagging him? Just about all of our players did something stupid in the first 40 tonight.

Does that make the all terrible??

He might be average but was good tonight.

Critta threw one horrible pass he doesn’t usually do that tbf and it was on if he got it right. I’m not bagging anyone I think momo played well but critta is a much better player.

Luai went ok tonight. That is the baseline expected level against that rabble

At least Crichton has the excuse of being our best right centre being moved out of position to accommodate a plodder. Even if you wanted Staines dropped May/Naden could've been on the wings.

Who? Who is an option there?

Jenkins is unproven and atleast 18months away.

May is to small for centre and is primarily a winger.

Who are these options? Hes been brilliant at centre in nsw cup. Definitley deserves first crack.

The only possible option is momo again with critta. Or give turuva a go but defensivley hes not ready for centre.

He kinda can. But then all of a sudden he decides its not the right one. Changes out of nowhere. That is what is frustrating. The only improvement is that its happening in the season and not the finals like last year.

I hope we work out our best 17 well before the finals. With the stack of talent we have coming back we are right in this competition. When you think about the names that are out (To'o, Korisau, JFH, Capewell, TPJ) this team has massive improvement left in it.

Luai was good, he’s a 6 not a 7, with cleary there Jarome can just focus on what he’s good at which is carving merkins up

Turuva and May can both play there and both look like good talents and momo is signed for next year also.

Still trying to grasp the logic of pushing Critter to the wing to fit in a very average career reserve grader? Can someone have a crack to Ivan's logic here?

Thats fine. I wouldve preffered to see 2. May 3. Critta also.

But momo played, scored a good try.. was very good in defence and one thing you all miss is the amount of times he came in to help nath tonight. He made a huge effort on many plays even just being there as third man in to support nath..than sprinting back to his position to be ready.. kinda shit the goes unnoticed but is soo soo important.

But you let the one negative thing be the deciding factor over all the positives mate🤣
