Talakai and SOO

[Frenzy.]

Sifa wasn't bad at all. I had him 7/10 at halftime in that game and he maintained that. He was just rattled early because they came at him and no one else has yet. The big positive was he went inland to look for the ball and then started making metres.

People get very high expectations very early on. Forget the Manly game. Despite how he played it was an anomaly and there'e no way we get that weekly till the whole team is Melbournesque. 50% of that game for Sifa is still above average

 

[ghoti]

He did his job and I reckon we learned something about the give it to Talakai mentality that crept in.. hopefully we learn to attack through the middle most of the set and use the Talakai plays that have been established more sparingly..

 

[Mr Angry]

Not sure what you any backs to do, when getting bashed up in the forwards.

Lost in the middle not the edge.

 

[Mr Angry]

The two new buys are the only ones in frame.

Funicane and Hynes, with Hynes doubtful..

Fittler will go Simple Jack and Turbo

 

[Mr Angry]

Might consider the Bronco Staggs, Sifa will not play.

 

[bad boy bubby]

Sifa is a chance for the bench, Centre, Edge and Middle.

 

[Mr Angry]

Maybe, I doubt it though.

Would be happy if he does get picked, be great for his confidence,

 

[Frenzy.]

Is Gagai still playing SOO or has he given reps away?

I don’t think so.
Got a fractured cheekbone. Had surgery out for a month

hmm

Too bad they make their selections known after NSW every year

They used Capewell/Gagai, Capewell/Gagai, Gagai/Tabuai-Fidow last year.

Who else would they have in the frame? Felix?

 

[Frenzy.]

Fittler flags Staggs as the man

 

[Mr Angry]

He is very keen

Felix will be the left centre and gagai on the right of fit

Just a lazy 193 metres (zero of those were kick returns), 1 try assist (pfft was that it), 86 contact metres… (beginners luck), measly 7 tackle breaks, only 1 line break and 1 line break assist in a team of 12 vs 13.

 

[Poss]

They asked Fittler about talakai during the game. His response made it sound like sifa would be in the team somewhere. The rest of the commentary team were laughing at how obvious it was even though Fittler was acting coy

 

[bad boy bubby]

He'll be on the bench. Probably taking the spot that they may have had for Nicho.
Centre
Edge
Middle.
Teddy goes down, Turbo to FB, Sifa to centre.

Origin 1 is 30 days away.

pappy is no chance now I reckon he really screwed that leg today.

I don't think he was a chance unless Tesdy was unavailable.

 

[Stake Removed]

I would say both Talakai and Hynes will be in the NSW 17, between the 2 of them they cover basically every position on the field

 

[Ozzi_78]

I don't think he was a chance unless Tesdy was unavailable.

I felt like maybe on the bench but you’re probably right. I was hoping he would be around for next week vs Penrith as they seem to get the rub each week
