Round 4 Vs Eels

[magpie guy]

Well.. see some people are blaming the poor service from Farah rather than the Eels defence...

I will have to watch the game again but the service didn't strike me as horrendous.

I thought Robbie was good against Parra. I think Brooks and Moses were ordinary.

 

[Tigerted]

Robbie was fine & will be much better with match fitness.

Moses had his poorest game this season but he has shown much improvement & there's certainly much hope for his future.

Brooks is a major concern for us as he has been ordinary for so long & we r currently in a predicament where we must be judicious with his contract negotiations & not get hoodwinked by other predatory clubs pumping his price up as he isn't currently worth anywhere near 600k.

Id have to watch the game again but there was a period in the first half when our attack was all over Parra then it appeared to suddenly stop , did anyone notice that and if so was it a result of Robbie coming on ? .

I don't think that our attack stopped and I don't think Robbie did anything other than settle us down and come up with some great plays.

I'm not going to watch the game again but I thought Robbie was great.

 

[macnaz]

Thought his defence was brilliant , his passing game was way below his normal standard but it was his first game back. It may have just been Parra started to get more possession when he came on .

 

[Old Time Tiger]

I cant recall and I'm not watching again but did it, Farah coming on and Parra lifting coincide with Grant going off?

Thanks OTT.

He was average at best. One good forced drop out and some solid defence which you would expect from your hooker.

He did that whereas Brooks, Moses and even Tedesco didn't do it. Maybe he stood out more to me because our halves were so poor.

 

[benched tiger]

I watched the game again,he wasn't as bad as some were making out,through a few ordinary passes from dummy half but he was still better than Halatau.He will get better as his fitness improves.

 

[Clifferd]

Honestly our reserve grade team is so strong. I reckon there's 5-6 players in that team unlucky to not make NRL each week. The rest are pretty up and coming also

Could give our 1sts a run for their money easy

 

[Old Time Tiger]

A big call Clifferd, but happy that some players are putting pressure on the 1st graders. This afternoons team is.

1. Watson Heleta
2. Josh Addo-Carr
3. Chance Peni
4. Nathan Milone
5. Jayden Wheelhouse
6. Jack Littlejohn
7. Josh Drinkwater
8. Joel Edwards
9. Jacob Liddle
10. Jordan Grant
11. Michael Chee Kam
12. Asipeli Fine (capt.)
13. Rod Griffin
Interchange:
14. Jeremy Marshall-King
15. Dallas Graham
16. Tyler Cassel
18. Wesley Lolo

 

[Clifferd]

I don't really think it's too far fetched , out of that squad id have these as better players

Chee Kam > Lovett
Edwards > Halatau
Addo-Carr > Rankin
Littlejohn/Drinkwater > Brooks
Griffin/Graham/Grant/Anyone > Buchanan

Special mentions: Fine, Cassel

Backs are pretty flashy too but our NRL backs would cover them quite well

 

[macnaz]

Hmmm tend to agree Clifferd , particularly the halves . Altho not world beaters they are pretty stable and consistent . I wish more people would attend some 2nd grade games , the way the forwards hit isnt for the faint hearted and the standard is a good test of who has heart and ability.

 

[Old Time Tiger]

didn't say

far fetched

Clifferd, just a big call because I just can't see JT doing it. I think like Sheens, he has 18 or 19 players and will stick with them. I worries me that he will stick with Halatau and Cherrington, what will he do when Ballin is fit?

I like your selections and think Chee Kam and Addo-Carr would add spark but they, the NSW Cup team got a touch up today so not sure how they went.
