TLT -RD 12 Friday 19/5 v Trellmit and the Fluffy Bunnies

[T.S Quint]

This is my biggest problem with our club. This week in cup Lumelume is in the centres... He is a winger..

Jirah chops fron front rower to second row.

Russ goes to centre in cup but wing in NRL how do you develop skills a winger needs playing in centre?

Probably the 5-6 days a week of training helps.

 

[84 Baby]

Or put matto at centre

No

 

[IFR33K]

No

On what waqa was producing, he should have been dropped to Reggie’s long ago. But I guess winning masked up his game.


and I simply answered gronks question. He asked what better options there were and I named them.

Yeah but I don’t get people’s fascination around playing Matterson in centres when he hasn’t played in backs for 10 years and is crazy good for us in middle.
Don’t care how poorly Waqa is going, it’s a net deficit moving Matterson to centre

 

[Legal Eel]

Lol. Opacic played Reggie’s last year. And he’s so far been twice the player Russell and dunster have proved.

we also had cini but we don’t know why he wasn’t considered.

waqa was that bad and has been bar one game in 2020, and we’ve failed to do a thing about it.


you don’t have to defend for the sake of it.

Wrong. He does - its in his factory presets.

matto actually played in the centres for the roosters while he was there

I never said that’s what I’d do. I would have put simonsson or oppa there and when they weren’t an option I’d play Marata there.

that’s how terrible waqa has been.

 

[Gazzamatta]

Looking at whats coming out of Eels Media this week it appears the majority of our training has been perfecting our Indigenous Dance Routine.

 

[Gronk]

You need to get some new material junior. We've been over this a few times.

 

[Tooooks]

We’ll need to score about 40 to win cos we’re certainly not keeping them under 30 odd.

Blake was good before last year. And even last year was our fastest outside back.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

well no, greig and Carty in 23 aren’t the same in 22, because they’ve been given decent minutes and have gotten match fitness.

Or have they been given decent minutes because they improved the things that were holding them back?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Centre is grabby? Is that his only downfall. He had hands like feet, couldn’t read the play, couldn’t set up his winger

He has two try assists this year alone. Just because he doesn’t want to throw a risky pass to a bloke running near the sideline doesn’t mean he doesn’t know how to throw that pass. It’s not a skill issue, it’s a risk appetite issue.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

No it doesn't... You want all your players to defend well and also carry the ball not just tackle no team has a player the Soley does that.

There’s only so many runs in a set and in an 80 minute game of footy. Davey has made 19 runs (mostly settlers to set up a more important play) in 146 minutes since coming back to the club. That is significantly lower than our more dangerous attacking players, and if he was taking any more runs than that it would detract from our attack.

That is all we require from our right side edge forward, in attack. If there’s any opportunity wide on the right you can be sure we will be looking to get early ball to Penisini, not waste it on Andrew Davey. Not everyone is equally important in attack. You have your stars and your support players. Matterson is one of our most important players and we want him making a lot of carries, using his footwork against the opposition’s big, tired plodders. It is working well and he is having a career best season.

Meanwhile Davey has made a bunch of tackles (68 with 2 missed) at an important defensive position. That’s why he’s in the team.

We are just preparing for our masterpiece on the field.

 

[Suitman]

And even last year was our fastest outside back.

Fastest isn't bestest.

When Penisni makes a break you almost no he won't f**k it up. He will make the right decision. Either pass, go him self, take the tackle or kick. If he made the wrong choice it would be less often then not. Guys like Sivo or Waqa if made a break your more thinking don't f**k it up. Well I am anyhows. There is a reason many of us would think the same. It's because they are erratic

Sometimes it's good to start slow and then build up your speed so you don't tire yourself out.

Nearly every player has weaknesses. Some are slow, some are erratic, some have low work rate, some are small/weak, etc

At Parra we have recruited too many that are slow, too many that are erratic, too many with a low work rate and too many that are small / weak. This is why we are 14th.

No you also need game skills......
