Round 7 Vs the Sharks

[age.s]

I find it crazy how quickly some people are willing to turn on players, in particular Crichton. He’s done a very solid job so far, made some positive contributions, as soon as he has a stinker (& he did) the pitchforks are out for him.

He definitely deserves a boot or two. Calld for him to never be near FG ever again are pretty stupid though, particularly considering our injury list.

We all knew the potential Blake had though... He was always going to come good..

There is nothing special at all about chrichtion... too small for a winger, doesn't work hard enough, can't defend and is a derp merkin.... How many runs did he even have today? 3?

Until next week.

He's a Mansore clone.

That loss is 100% on Peach playing 5/8 and the blame isn't even his. Why pick him there

Because we’ve won the last 3 with him there? Crazy concept.

 

[TheFrog]

Peach 6 hahahahahahaha

That's why I put my name to them. They are my opinion. Peach was dangerous at times but as has been pointed out, he's playing in a position that is foreign to him, basically because the team doesn't have a better option..

No he isn't...

Very crazy. Maloney played well above his level to beat the Cows. Are we here to win comps or not? Nathan does his knee again and its over...we learned nothing

 

[umina panther]

And please understand im not bagging Maloney here. He's solid but not Joey or Locky class. He can't be the only half

Yeah we really need to get some depth in the halves. No young Samoan 5/8s is just killing us with all these injuries.

 

[David brown]

If we had a gun winger like Dave limo Simmons we would of won by 20...

 

[TheFrog]

The only people who need to go are Tamou and Wallace.

Sounds a bit like high panic when its not called for. Neither were terrible and both were excellent last week. I wonder if Wal was offside when Sorenson made his break because he really should have got him.

I have a lot of love for Wallace but 3 times Katoa has come on and the team has picked up to another level. The speed of the service is just too important. Not having a go at Wallace but it's time.

Tamou is just bad. Had a good game last week but it's the only one.

He played well last week....only last week. That's the level he's being paid to play at....he he's delivered it once in 2 years

Peach needs to be back in the centres, rather than CHN.
Egan and luai have both been given 0 game time in positions we need experience in.
Yay for a rotation policy but if it’s not covering positions we have no depth in what’s the point?
Why give everyone a run rather than a couple actually get some proper experience?

 

[Black Magik]

Agree. The CHN experiment failed. We need a centre or Yeo

 

[umina panther]

Not sure how you blame a centre when they wont pass him the ball. VERY easy to blame the other centre who is simply past it

Yep, Whare is done...

I am not blaming CHN at all, I thought he was ok apart from getting caught out with speed.
Whare is terrible no one is arguing that.
Team selection is what I was questioning. By not picking luai when Cleary got injured it has compounded the problems of a weakened backline. Rather than 1 new player with luai in the team we have 2 players out of position, peachy and CHN. We got away with it for a bit but when we lost Blake it should have changed.
