Round two vs the Dragons.

[Girds89]

Salmon was good tonight, filled in Everywhere and in a game we got outdone physically he 4 tackle breaks and 32 post contact metres, that’s almost double Spencer’s pct and tackle breaks with only 1 more run. He’s a better utility than May was imo and definitely would have him in the side over Kenny.

Lol tyrone may is 5x the player the salmon is..
And im not a huge tyrone fan and was the first to say all last year he wasnt our best bench option..

But he shits on salmon.

Salmon had easily the worst tackle rate tonight for our team. Naden level effieciency.

Hes solid. He just offers nothing. Thats my issue.

 

[betcats]

Well Yeo is the second best half in NSW so maybe unleash the god

He would have to defend there also which would be a big struggle for him and it weakens or middle a lot.

 

[Girds89]

So with that bench tonight who covers when sos goes off and who shifts to centre when Brian goes off?

Salmon had plenty of touches when Sean was off that is ridiculous to suggest he didn’t.

Lol no he didnt lol.

He had a 2nd rower hit up. Thats it.

As i said. When sos went off, yeo, edwards, luai, api filled in and did the playmaking..even api kicked from dummy when sos was off

 

[Wayne's World]

The ref sure do like you guys

Disagree I think he is better than may. He had far more impact then Kenny tonight and he offers a genuine utility. He had more post contact metres and the same amount of tackle breaks as kikau tonight and he covered multiple positions with players forced off. That’s not nothing at all. Defensively shifted around 3 positions and both sides of the field it’s not really surprising.

With your bench who would’ve covered bizza and Sean?

Bull shit.

All Kenny does is come on and tackle he offers sweet f all.

The NRL needs to go to five man benches.

Same number of interchanges.

Come up with some way so the 18th player can only come on for 1 to 7 and its a permanent swap.

 

[Girds89]

Anyway the issue tonight isnt whose on our bench..

Its the arrogance like we can win at 80% that just will cost us.

As i said... want to win a back to back... 80% wont do it. You need to be 95% every week..

That means;
1. dyl has to be at his best.... he wasnt tonight.
2. Staines was avg
3. Tago i thought was really good in 2md full nrl game at centre
4. Critta really good i thought
5. Too... as i said just didnt look fit. Huffing and puffing with half involvement of last year.
6. Luai solid in d but needed to control game more when we were under pump
7. Sos pretty avg. As i said last week. Meant nothing, real test was under pressure.
8. Eiso solid as usual
9..api one of our best
10.. fish.... needed him back
11. Kiks take of two halfs.
12. Martin solid..
13. Yeo up there with yeo

14. Spencer is just still raw. Good signs but needs to still work on his conditioning
15. Sorensen really good
16. Kenny solid..as i said i like when him and api are on together. Means api can run and kenny still delivers good follow up ball to yeo..if its in bellamys game plan imo its a no brainer...
17. salmon solid but a few poor misses is d. And he only played 2nd row. Yes sos went off...but in no way ever was he 7. He did one hit up when sos was off....

Im really happy with the two points.. but its a real wake up call.. no more slacking off. Wake up boys..

Shouldve put the knife to the sword. We missed clearys game control so much when we were under the pump.

I think this is a good idea, but injuries do add volatility to the result. This would benefit the good teams.

The ref sure do like you guys

Of course, we are very lovable!

 

[betcats]

All Kenny does is come on and tackle he offers sweet f all.

He defends well but yeah he offers very little as a running forward, playing him and api together does very little as Kenny hasn’t got a very good running game. His only value on the side currently is to give Api a ten minute rest.

 

[Pomoz]

Cleary confirmed in the presso that JFH's issue was his shoulder. Damn........

 

[chrisD]

Yeah nah the bench is a problem and Kenny offers sweet f**k all except a spell for Api in perfect circumstances. Grant, Smith, Api and Kenny. There’s an odd man out in this false equivalency.

bugger

 

[Girds89]

Bull shit.

Hahaha ahh betcats..

Lucky for kayo its easy to prove my point.

I lied (innocently) to support salmon. Thought he had one hit up... i was wrong.

SOS went off with 12 to go in the 1st and came back on in the start of the 2nd..

Salmon had one touch in attack....one.....one.... of luais kick which he batted back and staines kicked dead....

But franklin thinks he played 7 for those 12 mins..

As i said... hes only touch was a knock back from a kick which staines kicked dead.

Nkt trying to hammer the bloke but take of the rose coloured glasses folks.

Some are acting like god if we didnt have a guy on the bench who could do what he did and play 7 we were stuffed.....

But in reality he just played 2nd row and our a listers carried us through when injuiries hit

 

[murraymob]

Fish has shoulder problem does not sound good
Too has a knee problem going for scan tommorow

I will check but it doesn’t matter he still offers more than Kenny does and had more impact than Kenny did tonight. You are comparing playing Kenny and api together with storm playing grant and smith together which is just ludicrous, maybe you need to take off the rose coloured glasses also.
