Rumoured and Confirmed signings - Part 4

[murraymob]

I will weigh in here
It makes no sense to move any player from where they played this year..same role same position.If we are short in areas get players to fill those spots either externally or lower grades

 

[Jane Murray]

he was our best player in game three. Our hopeless pack is what cost us the series

And Cody Walker.

 

[MugaB]

Origin 3

King shit gutho, along with jr paulo, and rest of the nsw pack, please enough with the nathan bashing, he deserved his spot as no.7 for the roos, only problem is Mal being coach would never pick him ahead of DumbCE

Thanks Paul Green says hi

Best players on the team play on the field, move them around to suit, i wouldn't put capewell on the bench, just coz i got lindsay smith or eisenhuth for my starting prop, you move Yeo or Kiks or Martin into prop and fill the 2ndrow with Capewell

I will be honest here. Gutho was ok but he isn't a centre. His effectiveness is his high work rate and ball playing. Lomax and Critchon should of been there prior.
Jnr should of started over Safiti and Hass. N.Brown isn't origin level imo. Just below.

Gutho was a flop, and the same applies to Brown, and Paulo.

assuming they are in their correct positions now that is?

 

[Luke Bowden]

And Cody Walker.

cody was in the same boat, very hard to play his game with no go forward.

I've never rated Walker.

 

[age.s]

Imo, we need to try something with Kikau. He's the only player who you could argue played below his potential this year. He had some big moments, but also some very poor ones and was too quiet, too often. He's too good to let go but isn't worth the massive money he will go for if we just treat him as the games most destructive decoy. We will lose him and regret doing so if we don't find a way to get more out of him.

I don't see a huge downside to trying him in the middle for a few games either. We have tons of cover on the edges and if it doesn't work you just shift him back to the left and Capewell goes back to the bench. I like the idea of Capewell getting as many minutes as possible too. I doubt Ivan will go for it, but there's definitely merit to the idea.

Ivan does love his 2nd rowers

Yep the guys 120kg and the most effective use of him we have is using him as a decoy. I get that it works a lot but it’s a one trick pony. Put him in the middle and make his game all about metres and defence, he will destroy opposition middles on the reg IMO. Our left edge will be fine. Luai, Capewell, Critta and Staines has huge attacking potential as a left edge and defensively capewell covers Luai better. At full strength this is one possibility of improving our middle after the loss of Tamou and Tetevano. If kikau plays well in the middle then we are stacked there at full strength, ridiculously stacked. Produce or sign another decent depth guy to take Heathro’s spot on the depth chart and we are laughing.

 

[MugaB]

I think To’o will have more impact on the left. The left winger gets more ball from kick returns due to most kickers being right footed.

Actually im in agreement here, i watched Staines Debut on fox last night, and he could very well be a better fit on the right next to naden, they had a combination that resulted in a lot of instinctive setups and trys

I think Critta is better at setting his winger up than Naden. I get the arguments for putting Staines on the right to improve the attack on that side but I honestly get really excited at the prospect of him playing on that left edge, his speed will be lethal.

Wighton has killed it for NSW in the centres previously. He also won Dally M medal after moving from centre to five eight in the last few seasons so he is not a great example. There are so many examples of players changing positions and being better for it. Also if we have to release someone like tetevano just to keep what we have there isnt a lot of hope that we can sign another good middle forward.

He scored 4 tries on the right against the sharks at kogarah, and another 2 his next game, not sure he will get many chances, with critta, kiks and luai all posing threats there

He'll score a million tries outside them, even slow old Sauce was bagging a few
