That creative half and 5/8 thing has done wonders...

[strider]

mmmm....working a treat for us so far.

 

[Twizzle]

no its not

 

[Eels Dude]

If it can't work, nothing will.

 

[Redback71]

it seemed to work ok in the first 3 or 4 games now the opposition know what to expect and when they see him coming they just feel in the gap so he cant get thru

 

[strider]

Gee - I was being sarcastic guys - thought u may have figured that

 

[Eelementary]

Dykes' form has faded into oblivion - maybe it's him, maybe it's his teammates.

Either way, we need a good hlafback-5/8 combo, and this clearly doesn't work.

 

[Eels Dude]

It was obvious you were being sarcastic, but what's your actual point?

 

[strider]

My actual point is that the masses pleaded for it for weeks and since its been done we have been flogged twice.

 

[Eels Dude]

So what do you want instead? Wagon back at 5'8th so we can score even more points? A creative halves combination is the way to go, even if we have been flogged twice.

 

[strider]

Interestingly enough, we have scored more points with Wagon having the #6 on his back......just stating the facts.

I agree it'd be nice to have a good backline to put some plays on, but as alot of people have pointed out, our backline is a bit inept at the moment....I think I saw 1 good backline move last night.

 

[Eels Dude]

I think apart Grothe's break we had nothing going there. The difference between earlier in the season and now is a lot to do with Dykes's form, he was setting up tries and creating great players at the start of the season but now he's useless again.

 

[strider]

Nah the one good move came at 8-6 down, just before the Dragons got their soft try.

We made a break down the right side of the field on the last tackle, unfortunately the final hail mary infield wnet to Riddell who did well to scramble back there.....had we scored then the result may have been different - infact I'd call that and the few minutes that followed the turning point of the game....had we had a quality centre playing there, the international type we may have seen something good.

 

[Y2Eel]

well starters dykes should be starting next week in prem league while webster has to start at hooker an morris to 5/8 heis a type of player that can play lock-5/8 and will play a more supportive role to thorman which is needed....

 

[Hollywood Jesus]

That's not a bad idea at all, Y2Eel, but I'd prefer to start Witt with Thorman and play Webster off the bench.

Morris can either stay at hooker or move to Premier League

 

[half]

we can change players and positions all we want, but without a change in attitude and confidence all that will be pointless. right now we're losing because there's no belief in the team. we are sacrificing the gift
