Round 22 Vs Dragons

[Girds89]

We have leota, spencer, jfh, eiso, lindsay smith who are all specialist props.

Sorensen and hopgood can play there too.

No need to try convert martin in a prop

 

[Girds89]

He's a mini Lolo in the middle. I 100% think I his spot

Hell be a straight swap at 2nd row next year for capes. Probs playing almost 80 a week.

 

[franklin2323]

I wrote this 30mins in. He was good after that

No one looked good early on. Was a horrible start but defence wins games thankifully

 

[Kilkenny]

Watching the press conference a few questions around Nathan Cleary and a shoulder charge. Seriously if he gets cited for that I’ll give the game away, Nothing in it.

Maybe for a year. Won't be after that

Martin has 0 ball playing skills better suited to prop.

No guarantee Leota or Eisenhuth are here after next year

Griffen blowing up that the bunker missed the shoulder charge
Nathen in the press conference said the dragons players brought it up on feild but it was checked and cleared by the bunker intersting

 

[Girds89]

By the letter of the law it was a shoulder charge. I was shocked they didnt over turn the try. It may have been soft. I think he might get a fine only. Griffin certainly wasnt happy with it.

Agree to disagree on this one.

I think hes definitley best suited to 2md row. At least this early in his career. Maybe when he slows down and loses the leg speed sure. But as i said the good packs will contain him as shown my melbs last week.

Lindsay smith and spencer will be the guys to take there spots in the 17 if they leave. Theyll both be 23 than and ready to rock n roll.

Spencer is a way closer comparison to lolo than martin haha.

Hes still 21. Hes going to be close to the best prop in the game in 2 or 3 years. Him and fish in the front row. Lindsay on the bench.

 

[Kilkenny]

Seriously if Nathan cops a charge from that tackle that will do me. I will not watch another game this season in silent protest.

 

[ColdWetPanther]

What a sook Hook is; to focus on that tackle in a game you lose by 18.

What does he offer that say Crichton, Kikau etc offer?

 

[The Realist]

Bagged Luai after 30mins and he deserved it but he did work into the game

Same here. He was off early - silly passes, missed tackles. But he worked his way back in - started running and making a few holes then he was a different player to what we have seen over the last 4 weeks.

 

[Kilkenny]

Really disappointed in hook. Just watched his press conference and flabbergasted really.

 

[The Realist]

Tago with a bit more size has a great build for a hooker I think, he’s got the skills if given time to learn the position. He tackles well, snaps blokes in half often and he has great speed off the mark. He was playing 13 just last year in the couple sg ball games they got in so the middle wouldn’t be to unfamiliar to him. I’ve had a few beers but if Api signs elsewhere and we needed to develop a hooker I think Tago could do it and be a star there eventually.

I was thinking this exact thing only to log on here and see someone has beat me to it! Tago is too small to be a proper forward. If his future is not centre I'd like to see him work on skills out of dummy half. Would be absolute dynamite! The questions are does he have the motor for it, and does he have the tactical nous to be a good hooker?

 

[The Realist]

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

Compare and contrast to Bellamy....

 

[Original Name]

Need to decide who our right winger is going to be and stick with him for the remainder of the games. Sure as hell not going to play Crichton there.

How? He's always been unlikeable

Just need to look at some of his "beliefs" after he left us to see that.

He even did this with us - to take attention from the fact he is a mediocre coach - he whinges about everything. Nothing is ever his fault.

Nothing's changed except that his mates at NRL 360 gas him up all the time - similar to Ricky Stuart.
