Team v Raiders

[RHYTHM AND STEALTH]

If Kosi gets another opportunity i will give it away

 

[TheDMC]

I still don't quite know what to do with the likes of Berry and Vailea. Do we give them an extended run? Or hold them back to work on their game? Probably why I am not an NRL coach

Don't get rid of big Ken, Herbert, Hiku for a starters and then we wouldn't have this problem. They might not be world beaters, but they are at least NRL quality and experienced. I pointed out how shit our backline looked before the season started and was hoping that I was wrong, but nope, it is pretty awful. Berry needs an extended run, don't think we have any feasible option other than to move Aitken to the centers. Both Arthurs and Berry have had some good games and some awful games, which I guess comes with the territory for newbies. Should stick with them. Bed made, lie in it. But not Kosi. That was too dire. If you can't catch a rugby ball well your in the wrong sport.

What the hell happened to Fus?

 

[JJ]

Are players really wary of Lodge? They're not two young women and a family with a child. I reckon most front rowers will happily have a go at him. None of the Storm front rowers were quaking in their boots facing him.

Yep, but to be fair at this level nobody quakes in their boots

Bingo, moved on with no equal or better replacement recruited or developed. Poor squad management. Then we move an experienced centre into the back row.

So-
Berry, Vailea, Katoa, Murchie in
DWZ, Curran, Pene, Kosi out

So DWZ & Curran injured, Pene suspended and Kosi dropped.
Pretty sure there was a lot more piss poor efforts out there than just Kosi that deserved to be dropped!

What the hell happened to Fus?

Stinking it up for Leeds rhinos

 

[vinnie delpino]

I reckon chuck in Asi at centre

 

[Blair]

Stinking it up for Leeds rhinos

A relief for him, as he wouldn't stand out if he ever comes home to play for us.

 

[Tongue]

f**k. CHT out. 3-4 weeks.

 

[MKEB...]

Yep, played the 2nd half with a ruptured nut.

Does.that officially put him in the hard b4stard category?

 

[Benek]

This team just can't get a break can they? We thought we had too many options in the halves and how we are about to play a new signing that will have only trained with the guys like twice before taking the field. I hope SJ is over whatever injury he had because he's going to need a massive game.

 

[Rich102]

So Kodi it will be.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Yep, played the 2nd half with a ruptured nut.

Does.that officially put him in the hard b4stard category?

That and the poor b4stard category.

 

[Blair]

Kodi's due, guys. In fact he's well overdue by my estimate. He has one good game every six he plays, but he wasn't that good in round two.

 

[Benek]

The article I read said Kodi is still out due to COVID. So we might need to be fielding this new signing out of last resort.

I actually think if Kodi plays he is due for a good game. Being moved to the bench has decreased his interest even further but a shot on the starting side might give him a little motivation to show he's still got something.

 

[Shaun Hewitt]

It can't be Kodi. He wasn't named in the squad.
It will be the new signing

 

[Tongue]

Walsh to halves? New fullback?

 

[Scott]

6. Asi

 

[Meth]

Yep, played the 2nd half with a ruptured nut.

Does.that officially put him in the hard b4stard category?

Maybe makes him 'a bit of a nutcase'

I'll show myself out...
