Vs Manly

[WithTheDawn]

If Cappy doesnt drop Fisiahii for next week he proves hes got no idea. Our inability to get off our line is infuriating. We miss Many badly and the Fish/Wright dont cut it

Also, Lousi and Havili are a zillion miles off first grade standard and Rapira is bumming around stealing a cheque before he buggers off. Least Wright has a go

So if Manu isn't back we bring in Big Ken? We don't have many options left in the outside backs. Looked like he picked up a small injury anyway?

Need to bring Lisone back in for sure, need some mongrel.

Tui into halves, Hurrell slots back in...we really need Manu and Hoff back asap.

We were very weak all over the park. Our forwards were again well beaten (against the worst pack this season who were 4 players down... well done lads, that was a special effort). Backs never looked dangerous with the ball or secure without it. Chad very average today. Johnson looked promising... and our season not so much. Huge blow.

Kata probably needs to be sent down and put on notice RE his defensive work - the issue then is who comes in. Not much in the way of obvious replacements, but I might even consider Marata Niukore (assuming Lolo moves to the halves and Hurrell is back at right centre, with Fusitua not an option and Wright not considered as a centre). Fish surely can't retain his spot either if Maumalo is fit to play - he was bad. And yeah... Rapira isn't up to it - Sam Lisone must be brought back.

I'm still laughing at Lousy's short ball to Rapira...I mean FFS

Nope - the coach and some backs - when the pack comes up with metres like that we should be well in the game, when they do it and the opposition is decimated by injury we should win by 20

Kind of went off tangent, the 4 forwards mentioned all great stats.
All backs really sucked offered nothing on attack and defensively very average.

Any word yet on exactly what Johnsons injury is ? Been pretty quiet in terms of news on it which isn't always a good sign. Big injury toll for the day with Toovey saying our 3 knee injuries may be seeious, and I haven't seen anybody as concussed as Matai was for a while

Don't know of anyone watched all 3 grades, but how good are these Trbojovic boys. Jake was enormous in 1st grade running over 200m and tackling anything that moved, and in the 20s Tom scored 4, set up another and ran for 466m

I watched all 3 grades and no doubt both those Boys are rare talents and Rudolph looked good on the reggies. Word if caution though they were all made to look like superstars from so pretty shoddy defence, hopefully they stay grounded and managed right.

I didn't see the 20s but Jake wasn't made to look like a superstar from poor defence. His work rate was absolutely astronomical. I feel like I heard the name Trbojovic more than when both of them were playing.

223 from 23 carries (nigh-on 10m a carry), 27 tackles and 71mins for a what, 20 year old? 21? Is actually insane. Those are Steve Price/Corey Parker numbers.
