Round 9 v Tigers

[The Realist]

It was Maloney's hip toss that caused the problem.

Should we call him Judo Jimmy now?

 

[unKwn]

Just watched a youtube video on a young st marys winger/fullback called allan fitzgibbon he played wing for penrith in canterbury cup very impressive 8min highlights reel has great speed is exactly what we need in 1st grade.

he’s extremely fast

Apparently Winterstein and Whare are available for selection this Friday.

Still got 2 spots open. Jed and Yeo shoulder recons. Really is a great chance to make changes give a look at Too etc. before hitting the market

An injured player doesnt automatically mean we can replace them in our top 30. We would need to get allowances for anything we do as we are paying those guys still.

Really not a fan of Winterstein. Average asf and at his age coming off an injury would be lucky to be average this week.

Whare is average too. But he atleast strengthens our team giving us an actual centre in defence.

Unlikely to get an allowance for new players with these guys returning also. Starting second row of Fuimaono and Winterstein... yay.

Yeah Winterstein and Whare coming back hardly excites me.....

You do but other teams already this year have had no issue. No reason we would either

I doubt both those guys play. Sele would come in 1st. Ellis was 18th man. Assuming Tamou plays you'd think 1 is 18th man. That is something

2019 was pretty good until now.

Part of which is why I said our 1st 10 weeks were key. Given soft draw too ah well there is always 2024

Soft draw?

5 of our games are against sides sitting top 8. 4 of those arenin the top 5.

2 of our other 3 matches we won. Our roster has been massively overrated. It's average as f**k with the depth we have. Our bench and hooking options always sucked for 2019.

But now so does half our backline which was kind of predictable after injury. We just hoped for the best regarding Mansour and Whare. And who could've seen Edwards being so shit?

We play 3 teams that finished in top 8 last year. One of them The Sharks were missing several key players. Certainly not a draw that 2 and 6 is acceptable for.

The 2 we won. Tigers missed every conversion and 3 FG. They kick them we lose.

Edrick Lee isn't unco he scores at the end and we lose

We have no depth but not really had any injuries until now. No reason to be where we are. It is borderline top 8 teams at worst

 

[Panther_Daz]

We should've won the Sharks and Raiders games considering the players they had missing.

We are also the only team the Storm have defeated 13+ this year, despite having all the ball in the first half of that game.

It's more than just Edwards. He has been gone for a few weeks and we still aren't winning.

Throw in losing to GC who finished 14th last year and looking just as bad this year.

Parra I will accept have improved so prob aren't a spoon team

Which I said when people were saying to drop him. Don't get me wrong he deserved it but outside of Tamou and JFH no one is playing FG standard across 80 mins

Its 2019. Not 2018. Rosters have changed massively.

Do a best of combined roster from our squad and the ones we have played... every other team would dominate a combined top 17.

Eels for example... Cleary, Blake, Tamou and JFH are our only guys who could be put in that side and improve it. DWZ maybe on the wing. The team you claim are wooden spooners.

Our 2019 roster is well and truly weaker than our 2018 roster . While many others are stronger.

I listed 3 players... i wasnt blaming Edwards. But 60% of our 'best' backline are shit.

Thats where our money is in our backline.

Our Origin halves. We played Munster the rest we should have covered.

Sharks had a rookie fullback. Rookie centre v Whare and DWZ (who was test FB last year)

GC had a backline consisting of Copley, Brian Kelly. Ash Taylor went off and Peats didn't play.

Last week Oldfield and Simsonssen are worse then we had. Our halves are better than Wighton and Williams

Who are the 40% that are good? Blake, Maloney and DWZ?
