If we are winning and Seggy is i. The team after all he has been through he will sit back and enjoy it.

Talk about a drip feed signing....

I disagree with that.

No way in the world our club would go through that much effort and money for a 20-25 minute player

Before Brailey played two matches I'd agree with you Snoop. But the way Brailey has started the season I do see it panning out that way.

I think of course Brailey might tire at the back end and may need a rest but who knows how players will adjust to a first season in First Grade.

I really think Seggy will be the second hooker in the team to pick up back end minutes in a game and of course to be starting hooker if Brailey gets injured.

I think their combination will be awesome.

Quote from Flanno in today's paper. " I'm not naive in thinking Jayden will be able to play 80minutes for the 26 rounds, he's only young and will need support around him."

Someone have a few beers last night?

Wake up people
1) Brailey is going to be good but he is way too young and inexperienced to be the no. 1 hooker.
2) Flano will slot seg straight into hooker with Brailey coming off the bench - if at all.

The end

Agree....can't think of another player who could be more destructive after 25-30 minutes than Seggy. Can and will be a deadly combination as Brailey continue to gain in confidence with more experience.

Think you're off the mark here Carch....Seggy will have far more impact off the bench than Brailey ever will. Seggy has never been an 80 minute player. Will be interesting to see how it pans out but nice problem to have. Might sound strange after only a couple of games but I see Brailey as having a slicker passing game than Seggy. This gives us the opportunity to get on top in the early battles before Seggy comes on to carve up the tired forwards.

Flano is the coach
He'll pick experience over youthful skill every day of the week.

I'm not saying he's right ( but he did win us a comp ) I'm just saying that's what he'll do.

Seggy dosent have bad strike rate as tryscorer 34 tries in 103 games, so can find the line for a hooker

Most hookers have no dramas finding the line these days....

Can't say I blame them

2 games in ok but he's doing the job and handling the situation very well. I'd agree with you if this wasn't the case.

Anyway Seg will come off the bench, I'll have a carton on it.

 

[shaggs]

Some fullbacks can find the line too. And centres lately.

As for brailey. We all saw what happened to lichaa. Became a slow boring tackling shit passer. It's a long slog. Even for experienced old heads.

The club and flanno appear to be doing everything right and saying the right things to keep him confident and level headed.

Shorter stints should encourage him to build his tuning game. Playing 80, and doing 40 tackles will sap so much energy from a smaller young bloke that he won't run.

I think it's the right move. Whatever combo/sequence they use

Looking forward to seeing how it unfolds...nice options imo.

 

[bad boy bubby]

They are both signed until the end of next season, the competition for the position is red hot.
Can only be good for our team.
May the best hooker win.

 

[Card Shark]

Brailey starting, when we need to play conservative to assume control of the game, followed by Seggy when the game opens up.

That is the obvious best use of both.

 

[southland]

Brailey and Seggy > Brailey and Mortimer/Cherrigton/ Paulo/ Nu

the "and" is just something we live with this year post 80min Ennis.

Believe Brailey is done till the end of '19 Bubby.

Is he??
My mistake. Still like the competition

Brailey for 25 mins - Segeyaro comes on for an explosive 15 mins to finish half...

Segeyaro for 1st 10 of 2nd half, Brailey returns at 50 mins, either replacing Seggy or Seggy to 13... If Seggy is replaced, he's back for the last 10, either replacing Brailey or at 13....

That's how I'd have it on paper, and then adapt dependent on what's happening.

If we just need cool, calm, crisp service, let Brailey have more minutes - if we need speed, tempo, or a bit of X-factor, give Seggy more minutes.

Before the last 2 games, Id have also favoured Seggy for games where we need steely defence - but actually, Brailey is a beast - snaps them in 2.
