Us vs Bronx gameday thread

[Frenzy.]

Soft loss. Not unexpected. Went through the motions and expected that would be enough.

SJ couldn't give a shit. Ramien throws up plenty of rocks with the occasional diamond. Haas owned our pack.

He looked totally disinterested and was definitely totally ineffective

Showed just why he was pointed towards the door

 

[R-15-3]

Brisbane ran an average of 51+ meters a set

 

[Frenzy.]

I would be more than happy for us to replace Ramien and Nikora , Nikora in particular was invisible , but geez Ramien hasn't got much game in his locker , both first season wonders that have hit cruise control since .

What about this option. Move Nikora on and replace him with Ramien. Jesse doesn't have the game smarts to be a centre and as we have just committed to him I'd rather see him in with the Bulldozers than with the Ferraris.

Or, as you say, no heartbreak here if we renegue on his deal. He has cost the side sooooo many moments this year.

Trindall is not the answer

Oh and by the way moderator. I’m not a guest! I’m Carinashark with 4,789 posts, I’ve been here longer than beekershark ok.

You were f**ked off on an interpretation of the rules Carina. It was found that originally no one had seconded your membership application.

You were ruled null and void.

But if you need another crack I will nominate you.

Well great but I want to see results next season. We have plenty of good players busting the proverbial that should be great players. They need real coaching . Case in point BB tackling machine, we know he can defend but he could be a great attacking 9 but is treading water this season.
ahkk I’m sick of it this season and today especially.

Well, he notches up high numbers but get's carried 5 meters half of the time. He's really ineffective in defence.

Can't see him getting a starting spot next year. I can see him at the Cowboys though

 

[Bob Scott]

Frenzy , i've thought for a long time that Ramien is more of a 2nd rower than a center , he certainly plays like that , doesn't have a lot of finesse in his game to be a center. I would be happy for him to stay as a 2nd rower and find another center . As for Nikora he plays much like SJ , good when he can be bothered , but has glaring holes in his game .

 

[Quigs]

How many times (well not many actually) has Ramien made open busts only to spill the ball or have it knocked out of his grasp at the vital moment.

Surely someone in the coaching staff would of picked this up.

His ball security in those circumstances is pathetic.

And those having a crack at SJ.... that pass he served up to put Katoa into the open was one of the sweetest passes I have seen all year. Just a shame it was at about the 68th minute.

Too soon to say. He did good things in this game but they played away from him for 50 minutes. He may need to learn to overall and Brailey may need to heed the overcalls and read the play more. Then fix his pass from DH.

I'm off Brailey, he's not an answer either. Overrated as fekk

He's not the answer being partnered with Johnson that's for sure.

Yeah i put earlier in here that mcinnes needs to start at hooker next year. Brailey is cooked

 

[Cheese sandwich]

The conceding 60-70 metres a set is the first thing that needs to be fixed, it's not through missing tackles either it just seems so easy to roll through the middle or spin it wide and make easy metres whilst our edges slide sideways and backwards.

 

[Bob Scott]

Hard for a young hooker playing behind a slow pack a lot of the time , especially Woods and Tolman , who aren't exactly fast . He looks much better when our outside backs get in and get the set going quicker , which i think would be the same for any hooker . He's been asked to do a lot for such a young guy , i'm happy to see him in a better coached system before sacking him . There's a lot worse in our pack than him .

Smart suggestion and I like it!

Chambers has to come back into the side and Ramien is the man to go.

I actually don’t care who plays anymore, I just want to see effort, commitment and the basics done right.

Well, the target is on his head and he has to beat Cam McInnes to the spot I reckon.

I could even live with Connor getting a few more games at centre if that happened. He might get better defensively. Chambers might even pass the ball to a winger once in a while. Ramien can't or doen't pass. He's Phil Baileyesque

PCMs killed us. Especially Haas

Yeah but we ain’t manly and definitely not South’s this year. Not defending the team but really the year is just a transition to new coach etc. and the donkeys actually had a crack today
Watching South’s ATM and it’s a training run - west Tigers are just fuggin cannon fodder - which is really saying a lot for team rebuilding for years.
Only thing you can take away from this, the new coach would be watching with interest and intent. The intent should see better results in coming years - passengers already flicked and deficiencies worked on
