time to replace wacker with taka at least he'll get a few passes to fergo

I too would replace Waqa with Taka but I don't like that f**ka either.

That was pretty funny, actually it was a craka.

I can't remember anyone on here saying that Waqa wasn't a great signing. Sure, he's been poor the last 6 weeks, but lets not collectively pretend we all knew better.

I still believe Waqa Blake is a quality player - but he needs a rocket up him.

What did you f**ken call me?!?

We looked at Hethrington but he wanted too much. We wanted to keep Kane Evans but he wanted more than his current deal.

The search continues.

We helped Panthers clear the decks and take Blake's mammoth contract.
And 5yrs. Gee they got one on us there.
I like how we beat our chest saying they paying half his contract. Far from truth. Yes last year we paid a minimal amount. They may even be chipping in a little this year but the rest is on us....
And around 500k a year

He's a quality player. He's won far too many NRL games to be considered a shit player. Also starred in Penrith's only loss this year.

He knows when he needs to be up and when he doesn't.

I wish he would consult us about that first.

Attack wise he needs to lose that f'n skip. Also giving him the ball where the D has marked up is only occasionally going to work. Its really only worked against Crichton who was still in nappys at the time. Get the decoys into play. Give him something to work with.
So far as his D is concerned, maybe BA has "Seibolded" him and the fu*ker is so confused he dosent know if hes Waqa, Taka or Makka Pakka.

Be careful Erin Molan got into the shit for that. LOL.

He's definitely got shit he needs to work on. I've got no problem with the skip. His issue in attack is, as you say, getting the ball without space. In defence the issue isn't so much him as the corridor between him and Moses. He doesn't seem to have confidence in Moses, probably because he knows he's injured. It's definitely making him second guess our system. He needs to sort his shit out but if he couldn't tackle he wouldn't have the first grade career he's had.

Any outside back can look ordinary if he's put in enough no win situations. We even made Joseph Manu look shit earlier this year. One on one usually favours the attacker.

what does that f'n skip achieve eff all except having both feet off the ground There is a hell of a lot of players doing it trying to be bingy marshal i suppose

 

[parra pete]

Waqa Blake is a much better player than he has been showing of late - that is, in my opinion...

Has there ever been a player who performed well with a muffin top haircut?

We know it's your opinion ffs!

The idea is with both feet of the ground the defender doesn't know which foot he will step off. If there's one foot already on the ground they know he will step off the other one.

Look at this move he puts on Walker. It starts with the skip, which makes the defender plant his feet:

These guys knew about Waka and Taka (and Macca):

Tennis players do this so when they land they can spring off the correct foot to hit the ball. Stops you being flat footed

Yep, it's like that Hot Chocolate song from the 80s.
