You don't need to make the point when you have already made the point

Thanks, well can't be too serious then it seems. Whew. Mind you The Fus was more than adequate today.

 

[Penrose_11]

I certainly wouldn't be rushing Vete, Lisione, Mutts, Thompsom, Manu back into team of today's performance. But.... I thought Sipley was totally gassed after his 15 minutes and probably needs to be a bit fitter to play 1st grade yet. Wright has to be gone. Not once did he pin back his ears and aim for the corner. He had at least 4 opportunities today and always cut back in. Robson played well at standoff and SJ at 1st reciever. Lolohea to play at 6 and Fusitua at full back for me once LoLo got. Gubb played well enough for another chance. Gavet had big game and no stupid penalties or errors which is big improvement for him. Palavi had good minutes as well.

Next weeks selection going to be good

 

[Meth]

Fus was good, but hardly tested. His positional play was great at times and off on occasion. Can't fault him, but would rather see Lolohea there when fit- unless they choose to play him in the halves

 

[Meth]

Sipley had an impact though- more than Sao or Hurrell

 

[Meth]

We have backrowers that can all play big minutes, and Tevaga. We can afford an impact forward and Sipley might be it

 

[Leber]

Same team with mannering in for Palavi.

End thread.

 

[Campion]

Would put Lolohea to the halves and leave Fusitua at fullback. Drop Wright but not for Manu (any other wingers go good?). Leave Allwood on the other wing. Mannering in for Palavi (who was good but had 7 missed tackles).

 

[Iron Lion]

If you want the team to keep winning then keep Simon Mannering the hell away from them. He wrecks our team on attack.

Palavi and Tevaga showed more in that one game than simon has in the last 3 seasons. Dont punish them. TODAY WAS A WAKE UP CALL.

If Simon comes back we LOSE.

 

[MKEB...]

Mannering is out for a few weeks

 

[Meth]

I don't get the Manu hate.

 

[jaseg]

Same team unless injured players come back. If that happens then;

Mannering -> one of Lousi/Lane/Palavi
Lolohea -> Wright (Fusitua moves to wing)
Leuluai -> Robson

We didn't play great footy for much of the game, and would have lost against a team that wasn't as rubbish as the Dragons... but the point hasn't been made, yet. Make the boys earn their way back, not a one and done deal in reserve grade.

Palavi (who was good but had 7 missed tackles).

Interesting.. where is that number coming from? All the prelim counts I've seen have him between 1 and 3 misses, with 0-1 ineffectives.

 

[Meth]

Geez I would hate to be your kids. Miss curfew and you're out in the cold with new kids brought in

Bit of a different scenario :lol:

Seriously though, why should they walk back into a winning team? They don't have divine right of selection, and they lost their incumbency.

They lost their spots for not making sure they were 100% to do their job by being out late. They missed a meeting. They should earn their spots back. Does anyone really think missing a single match then being thrown straight back into the team despite the fact that the team won without them is going to carry any weight?

God you're a dick... St George are woeful on attack and still scored pts and could have scored more - Mannering plays as soon as ready

I'd not be rushing Manu, Thompson, Lisone or Vete back at all - those that played deserve another go

Matulino is different - he needs a wake up call, but he's just a world class forward

Hurrell should be released immediately - f**k him - that would send another signal...

 

[Iron Lion]

If you want to breed a winning culture then the same team lines up next game minus Wright and Lousi

Wright - Maumalo
Lousi - Thompson

and if lolohea is fit

Robson - Lolohea
