Round 8 Vs Sea Eagles

[Iamback]

Nothing amber can't fix. Case of Furphy was $45.85 at Dan Murphys last night. Excess Easter stuff I think.

I once knew a girl named Diamond did the same thing.

I will give this new Amber a go

What did Tago do wrong last game?

I thought he was solid. Both edges looked connected, which hasn’t been the case all year.

 

[age.s]

Yeah, agreed. He did nothing wrong in either position last week. A couple of good runs too.

 

[chrisD]

The fact he could turn it on for finals games seems to say otherwise.

Yeah but only for three seasons.

Some folks Luke have agendas against various players. Sadly Tago appears to be 'flavour of the month'.....I thought Tago like many others, appeared to be lacking in confidence and therefore 2nd guessing himself, especially in defense,
Tago during this game appeared to grow in self confidence. I thought being next to Pauly A helped too. They both worked well together.

He's been our weakest defender for YEARS cut the bullshit and face it

There have been worse defenders this year.

That isn't a ringing endorsement ftr.

Garner slipped off the tackle for Roosters first try.

You made the same mistake I did last year. I started using reason, logic and actual facts. It never works..

Have you watched Nathan Cleary defend over the past 18 months? If you need to pick out individuals, why not start there….

 

[Kilkenny]

I’ve never quite understood the hate for Tago or any other player for that matter.

I kind of accept there has been defensive issues but centre is a challenging position to defend in.

Its fine I guess to suggest TAGO should be dropped but the real question is there another option, a better option to replace him.

Tom Jenkins I think has done very well for us since his elevation to the top grade, I don’t think he has got credit for his very decent performances. Far better than some have given him credit for in my opinion.

Nathan has badly regressed defensively

I don’t understand why we are calling out anybody. I really don’t.

This underwhelming start to 2025 is just the reality of one of most successful eras in the NRL.

It was never to last forever, the dynasty was always going to hit a hurdle eventually and as I has said before we are in need of a rebuild regardless of how 2025 plays out.

 

[Kilkenny]

Nathan has badly regressed defensively

Nathan hasn’t regressed at all. We have, collectively as a team, we are no longer the benchmark. That is just the reality we need to accept. We need to suck it up. It is what it is.

 

[Oldpanther86]

Hmmm I think the others just lifted and carried him. If not then he should be sacked for just not giving a f**k

As the bible says: "let he who has never needed a fire lit under them get the Dally M points"

Yes he has. When he came into grade he used to belt merkins

Who is the benchmark then?

It’s nonsense mate.

I understand your always glass half empty, but most of us are glass half full .

I just don’t get it.

2025 is probably not going to be a five peat, I can live with it, there’s issues which need to be addressed, but I can see light at the end of the tunnel.

I think with astute recruitment and some of the quality we have in our junior ranks there is much to look forward to going forward even if this season is not going to pan out as we would have hoped.

 

[Kilkenny]

Who is the benchmark then?

I haven’t seen a benchmark yet. Could be the closest season in this past six seasons. But we’re are not the benchmark, we may well improve but we are certainly not the benchmark based in the first rounds.

You really don't understand what you're watching do you
