Chad had a pretty ordinary game last night. Send him back to NYC, he deserves a crack at a premmy.
Bring back Kelly, put him at h/b and leave Graham at 5/8.
Our championship forward pack was average, only Gallen and Smith put in.

Hey f'wits, my post was an answer to Mr Angrys prev post, immediately above it surmising that we will be btm 4 in 012 with Pom and Best still at centre. Probably should have quoted it for those with critical STM!

 

[spider]

haha

its all in good faith TSS - relax

not living up to your moniker??

 

[M2D2]

Why does Zac Gordon deserve to be dropped? He was the best back on the field for The Sharks and probably the second best Shark overall behind Gallen.

He ran for 235 metres. That's as good as Gardener gets and he didn't look that much less dangerous and his positional play was superior to Gardener's.

I'd probably go left field because it doesn't matter now.

Ike played well but as i said in my post.

We need to do a job of protecting encouraging our final prospects for out juniors and reserve grade while also preparing for 2012.

Ike played alot reggies this year and that team should stick to the partnerships that may win us a trophy.
This season is done in the first grade and as ive been paying strong attention and been going to some (non 3 match day) games. Id rather ike goes back and becomes the number 1 for the rest of the year.

Yep been having this convo for a couple of weeks.

I don't think our forwards are the problem.

You don't think it is the centres...what is it again?

[Since 73]

Used to like the Pom. A lot.

Can't stand to see his name in the team now.

You want to be successful? Simple....
Surround yourself with successful people.

Pom's been here making the same stupid mistakes right thru George, Sticky and Phleno.

 

[Alan Shore]

It would be an absolute joke if Pom remains at the club next year. He has been a failure and at 27/28 years of age is unlikely to improve any further. Can't catch, can't pass.

 

[shaggs]

Wright would have had 3 tries last night if Ricky had let it go. Speed is everything. His positional play isn't too bad, the defensive structure requires speedy wingers which we don't have.

 

[cheese]

Wrights problem isn't ability, it's genetics.

He's small & slow. Too slow for the backs, too small for the forwards.

Cov could get away with a lack of pace because he was exceptional in the air & positioning himself... Wright is neither.

I really like his courage, but he's just not up to it. Ike/Gards/stapes is a better proposition.

Unless he morphs into a poly nutley battering ram, see ya champ.


.....& it's clear he wasnt our worst...he's rarely if ever is..., but he's consistently an also ran

 

[marrick5]

let' s be honest 2012 will be the same as this year.
Who have the club purchased for 2012?, all forwards (apart from Jeff Robson but lets not go there!). The problem with this club is NOT the forwards it's the BACKLINE... we have no centres, and our 1/2 5/8 combination has not worked..
I tell you now another year of Pommeroy and Best in the centres = another year of failure...

So supercoach is admitting he made a mistake leaving Gards out last week?

 

[island pro]

I'd have Wright over Ricky based on last week, but all in all, it is the best that could have been hoped for.

and Best would have been dropped if available. Where is Wright?
