Sooooo Whats The Team V Parramatta Seal

[Micistm]

wow !! :shock:




so, put a team up you whingy little f**k




X3

that game was there for the taking, first 20 mins killed it, we couldnt get back enough points.

Manly are a bloody good team.

Yep, pretty happy overall despite disappointed over 1st round loss. Depressed after the start but came back well. There were some frustrating fumbles, in the 1st game of the year. We were beaten by close to the best side in the comp IMO. Not a bad start.

Agreed.

No big changes. Traditionally we start the season slowly, and yesterday was more or less par for the course. And we were up against a Manly team that was almost identical to the one that steam-rolled through the finals last year - who for some reason were being written off because Hasler has jumped ship. That team has so much experience I could probably have coached them to a win yesterday.

I was pleased that we kept coming, didn't give up. Manu had a traditional shocker, no surprises. We'll hear about his game against Parra about 40,000 times this week on Aussie league shows given the same fixture is coming up on Monday night. As long as it isn't still pouring in Sydney I'd back him to put in a much better performance. Similarly, Feleti also tends to produce the questionable offloads early in the season and gets better as the season progresses.

Centre is obviously still going to be a problem this season. I felt sorry for Jewome. Inu surely has to get a look in. I agree that the converted second rowers just do not work.

We should beat Parra. They were terrible against the Broncos on Friday.

Did he sleep with your girlfriend or something?
Never mind that he is a young player, on debut, against the reigning premiers. :crazy:.

I thought he had a very solid debut, not flashy by any means but certainly wasn't one of our worse players on the day.

Reckon you havn't been taking your pills mate.

Um no, its just that anyone can see that Inu is two times the centre he is and that I for one would like to see our best team on the field. I have never rated Ben Henry and if anything the only way I see he has a future at the moment is in the second row. If he gets picked there on the bench then fair enough with our injuries but him being in the team out of position over imo our best outside back is stupid. I said the same thing about Ropati, but tell me then what does Ben Henry offer at centre?

 

[Iafeta]

I think Bluey's doing himself a bit of a disjustice complaining about the referees and Vatuvei. They called correctly a strip on him early on after he took a bomb, the others, a couple of times there were hands near the ball but a player has to have better control than that IMO. If he was on his game he had a clear hattrick, he bombed a sitter early on.

 

[SpaceMonkey]

I think Bluey does have something of apoint, but it'sa problem of Manu's own making. He needs to know that opposition players will target his ball security in the tackle, and focus more on holding the pill and getting a quick play the ball instead of fighting for every metre as much as he does.

 

[Warmess]

I have more of a problem with refs taking an age to call held on Vatuvei. Shit takes an age, and it's something I see in Hurrells future too.

To the point of the thread:

Inu into the centres. Hurrell to start. No dicking around with putting a second rower in there and announcing it 5mins before kick off.

If I was picking the team this is the one I'd be inclined to go for, for round 2 as well

I'm just really keen to see the Fish get a chance in FG:lol:

I'm just really keen to see the Fish get a chance in FG:lol:

I am too. Which is why I'm a little surprised to hear he's been training and playing exclusively at FB. The guy is signed until 2015 and unless Kevin's off-field antics get the better of him, the club will be looking to retain him (and rightly so). Hence I can't see why Fish isn't being developed as a centre/winger. He had a couple of shockers last yr on the wing sure, but we seem to forgive Tupou and Manu (especially Manu) for their poor games. While we have an ongoing centre crisis...

 

[broncos2010]

I dont understand why you would not start with Hurrell he is total beast.!!!!

 

[Shaun Hewitt]

It's what we are all saying.

I said the same thing about Ropati, but tell me then what does Ben Henry offer at centre?

I wasn't picking him at centre, i reckon he should be on the bench instead of Hurrell, as it is obvious that he is a better talent than Benry. Refer to my earlier post that i'd have him on the bench, or even falling off the bench in favour for the Fish as a backline utility.

My gripe was that there were 4 quotes relating to the poor bloke, who didnt do too much wrong on his debut. Not all of those gripes were related to him in the centres. We all understand that Hurrell is the better centre, and Inu is a more natural centre than Benry but I don't think he deserves all this negative attention

 

[Fast Eddie]

He's getting 'negative attention' from me because 1. I don't rate him as a player and 2. he's being selected in front of a superior option. I don't have anything against the guy, he just shouldn't be in team at centre.

You did see that try he let in right? Soft as they come

Benry is a 2nd Rower not a Fckn centre that is all

 

[Wheeled Warrior]

Locke is not a wing

He wasnt a Fullback on the day that is counted either

I only chose him on the wing because we don't have anyone else that is ready just yet. Fish as a FB would be very good to see again, the kid is an athlete

 

[Fast Eddie]

I can't believe they haven't started trying to turn Fish into a winger or centre yet. He's signed up long term and talented, why not utilise him?

 

[Juju]

Looks like Inu's in the senior squad for the Parra game.

I'm not too down on Henry- it was his debut. But can we please stop trying to solve our centre shortage with our second row abundance? It is not going to work.
