Round 6 v Knights

[Tigers Tale]

Milone is the least talented outside back we've had for a while. It would be typical of Taylor to select him.

Have to believe with both statements Hybrid.

I actually feel the players we have are generally OK. When we are on we can score pretty freely and that is with a coach like Taylor and his idiotic game plans. If we had a coach in the mould of Bellamy or Bennett, who can turn a bog average player into a world beaters we'd be OK.

The moral of my rant is I believe we need a new coach....one who will pick on form and develop players to their full potential.

Milone, Buchanan, Lovett, Halatau should not be in the NRL side.

If I was Fine, Addo-Carr, Parahi, Edwards, Chee Kam or Griffin, I'd be f**king spewing.

I don't think we can afford to move Lawrence to centre, we simply don't have the depth to cover for him.

Chee Kam is like a young Bronson Harrison, a back rower who has the speed and lateral movement to competently cover centre while he's young. As he gets older and bigger, he'll be a classic back rower.

With so many out, and our season resting so much on Tedesco's fitness, I'd rest him and get him fully fit for next week, instead of risking him getting an injury and missing several weeks.

1. Watson Heleta
2. David Nofoaluma
3. Asipeli Fine
4. Kevin Naiqama
5. Josh Addo-Carr
6. Mitchell Moses
7. Luke Brooks
8. Aaron Woods
9. Robbie Farah
10. Tim Grant
11. Suaso SUe
12. Chris Lawrence
13. Josh Aloiai
14. Curtis Sironen
15. Ava Seumanufagai
16. Michael Chee Kam
17. Rod Griffin

logical
adjective
of or according to the rules of logic or formal argument
synonyms: reasoning, thinking, straight-thinking, rational, objective

MU you can't pick a team like that, that requires reasoning, thinking, straight-thinking, rational and objective thoughts :roll:

Seriously though, a very good team, if only.

 

[Tigerted]

Good team but unfortunately fairytales don't come to fruition for us WT fans due to the short sighted & moronic decision makers we've been forced to put up with from the day of this clubs inception.

The only other change I'd make is Littlejohn for the braindead no. 7 who is a massive liability with his inability to ever make the right decision with his substandard passing & kicking (fundamentals for a 7) not to mention that he is unequivocally our weakest link in defence.

 

[madunit]

Brooks hasn't been allowed to play his natural game since he finished his debut match.

I'd consider Brooks at 6 and Moses at 7

 

[BuffaloRules]

Another try in the last 5 minutes before halftime.

Must be 6 games out of 6 now..

Terrible decision from Lawrence taking Hogkinson's dummy...can't blame Taylor for boneheaded plays like that...

 

[madunit]

Wa5ching that first half was a chore. Brooks with a good try assist but other than that,has been crap. Moses quiet.

Theres a fair bit of "throw it to Teddy" creeping into our attack

 

[Tiger05]

I thought that was Sue's fault. Terribly slow moving across.

Brooks has had so many shockers out there today yet again. He is starting to run it and looks a lot better but he has made 3 critical dud plays that I could see.

 

[BuffaloRules]

I'll blame both Sue and Lawrence...

It's the only play Hodgkinson has FFS... One of them had to read that...

Brooks is an OK runner but terrible passer... A lot of passes end up behind the runner...

 

[Clifferd]

If there's one positive we should atleast get the rub of the green in the 2nd half

Down 5-1 in the penalty count, always see it even up in games

 

[Tiger05]

You are right in regards to Brooks. His running game is fine. His passing game at the moment is terrible.

 

[BuffaloRules]

When was the last time they won a game after being behind at half time?

 

[Tiger05]

I've had enough of Robbie playing for penalties. I don't get it. It's just dumb. Brooks again with dumb kicks.

Luckily we are all over them and we hold it and we score but geez some players need a big kick up their backsides.

 

[Clifferd]

Hate these close finishes. We really need to put on our flair and score 2-3 quick tries

I feel we have their measure if our passes stick

 

[Clifferd]

I take that back. I can't see when our next win will come

 

[BuffaloRules]

Terrible...

They are getting worse..

They have only one player that the opposition need to worry about...

 

[Tiger05]

I don't know what to say but I'll give it a go.

The Negatives
1. We are a poorly disciplined team.
2. Robbie while being a great player consistently plays for penalties rather than just trying to win the game.
3. Brooks. All the skills but consistently bombs chances for us.
4. Naiqama. Great player but that was his worst game and he bombed chances for us.

The Positives
1. Lawrence. Great hard runs.
2. Sironen. I think he showed me today that he can have an impact. He hit hard and ran it back hard plus didn't shirk anything at all.
3. Rankin. Maybe he isn't a great winger but he really played hard out there.
4. Nofo. Ran hard all game.
5. Grant. Same as Nofo.
6. Moses. Lots of great little plays and competes all game.

We are a much better team than Newcastle and to lose like that today to me means something has to give. Taylor is not getting enough out of them and I think he has the balance of the squad wrong still. We need more props belting up and we need more impact off the bench.

 

[BuffaloRules]

What about Halatau? You are a fan of his right?

 

[Tiger05]

What about Halatau? You are a fan of his right?

Yep but he did his best to lose me today. He was ordinary. He made some good tackles but his runs weren't strong enough and that mistake with playing the ball poorly at that point in the game was shocking.

He should be added to the negatives.
