Round 3 V Newcastle

[betcats]

I dont think kenny is the answer at all..

I said 18 months ago we should go after connor watson as he was the best 14 in the game and no one wanted a bar of it on here. Yet now most think hes the best 14 in the game.

We need a 14 with speed. Salmon and kenny arent that....

But yeo plays middle and played prop a lot last year at the back end. He still ball plays from prop and noting changes.

But it means kenny can get into 9 and just pass and it leaves api to run when he sees oppurtunitues..

Not making anything up on the go.

Been saying for 18 months this is what we need. Kennys not the ideal man for it but its all we got to do it atm.

Like i said. Walk on.

Girds if Kenny comes on at lock and yeo shifts to prop then it still means Kenny comes on and a prop goes off geez you are really struggling today.

We can dissect this game any way we want.but at the end of the day we got the win.we got to see a few fringe guys who showed they are ready
And we did this minus 6 of our best .bring on the bunnies

A good practice game for the fringe players, who after the pace of this game, will be ready for the Souths game.

I’m happy to take the points.
Barnett’s shot was horrible.
The lack of forwards really showed in the second half, but good experience for all the young ones.

Betcats.. thats fine if kenny actually goes to 13 and plays the role bellamy is wanting b smith to play when grant is on.

Ivan had 88kgs kenny on actually playing prop. Hes off hes head as are you.

Im not sure how clear i can make it..i mean probably the greatest coach off all time or he will be by the time he retires in bellamy is cleary going to run grant and smith at the same time.

Granted kenny isnt either of them but its the style of play that the game is moving towards. Having two hookers on means one can run, get tackled and you still have the other to deliver 20m ball crisply on the next play to yeo or cleary.

Not sure what your struggling to understand..its quite simple

 

[GongPanther]

Our defense has blown out to 14 points per game. Need to address that or the likes of Brisbane will be the difference if they are in the finals.

TBH this is all he brings to the discussion

 

[Iamback]

Neither can salmon. Hes useless... god its painful.

25 tackles 1 miss.

Do you even watch games?

TBH this is all he brings to the discussion

He also snipes at people in vague comments when complementing players.

Edwards 8/10.. just mister reliable.. covers up in d and is always there when you need him

May- 7.5/10- something special this kid. 3 tries. 165m, line breaks, tackle breaks try assists.. yep raw but hes nrl written all over him. Been a big fan for ages. Think he pushes staines out eventually. Not because staines has been bad. Quite the oppostite. I just think it will get to a point where hes undroppable..

Tago- 8/10- love tago.. well and truly got the win over gagai today. A world class centre shown up by our 19yo rookie.. tago is a freak. Hs may be a 2nd rower down the track but as ive said for ages. Hes our centre for the next 5 or so years. I think he will be better than critta within 12 months.

Critta- 7.5/10 - decent game still doesnt have that attacking flair. But hes a top defensive centre..

Charlie- 7.5/10. Vey good agaim. Im soo happy for charlie hes really digging in.. the competition for spots has helped as has dropping him.

Luai- 7/10 great moments but we needed more experience and control when they went down to 12. He had great touches and was solid in d but we got wayward in attack..

Sos- 7/10 as per above. Needed more control.

All the forwards were a mixed bag. Kiks was poor.. api was solid. Yeo solid but needed more from him. The rest just avg.

 

[GongPanther]

Kiks needs to go back to the bench as he is effective in the last 20 mins of each half.

 

[Girds89]

TBH this is all he brings to the discussion

Tell me again about how nathan will only ever be a hooker for us franklin? Or not even nrl standard. Heard it all before.

For 18months ive said we need a quick 14. Luke bowden hated me for saying tyrone may wss avg. I was the first on this forum to say he was offering nothing and there was better 14s than him..

All ive said in regards to the 14 issue is you need speed. We dont have it atm but, api and kenny on at the same time means api can run more. Which creates a heap more oppurtunities.

Anyone can go back through my posts of the last 18 months and find this. I was very vocal about it. Its clear thats the way the game is heading.

 

[Aliceinwonderland]

Did Kiks play more minutes today than usual.

You definitely weren't the first to call out Tyrone May for being a plodder

 

[Girds89]

He also snipes at people in vague comments when complementing players.

When?

I bagged staines last year because he was embarrasing... said he had to go back to reserves or get dropped to develop..

Now hes been dropped and developed hes doing really good.

Ive said so every week. Hes really impressing. Im happy hes doing so well.

If a players doing good ill say it. If not i wont sugar coat it like you did last tear with staines..

I try not get biased when posting on here. I try keep a level head but its obviuos reasing your posts and some others that that just doesnt happen on here. Fans have their favs and nothing they do will change an opinion

100% was..

That too. You can just comment without things being a dig at them

I copped it last year. Another one I had to put back on ignore

 

[Iamback]

You need a plodder in 14 though.

Anyone that is good at a position gets moved there

 

[Aliceinwonderland]

What a wonderful claim to frame. You must be so proud of yourself.

Staines was always in need of developing. I even said pre this game May might take the spot from him. There is a very good footballer in there though.

Your biggest issue is you are aggressive in your thought that you are superior to pretty much everyone here, not that you aren't right at times or anything. I've agreed with you a bit this week for example.

Did Lindsay Smith play?
