What would you do if you were Bluey?

[SpaceMonkey]

excuses aside, we still leaked in 32 points... thats just not good enough. godinet shouldnt have been defending out wide, he's a smurf and anyone would be happy to run him over when close to the try line (like they did - twice!)

We leaked 12 of those points due to amateur f**k ups by the player everyone was cursing Bluey for not picking. Can't blame the coach for that.

 

[aargon]

Yeah why Godinet was defending at centre I have no idea.

and if bluey knew (and should know as coach) that Inu had this hand problem ie using one and not two - WTF was he doing playing FB?????!!!! :crazy::crazy::crazy:

Where would you have him defending? Prop?

I don't think I've read such a humorous evaluation of a game. Frankly, you'd go a long way to find forward domination like we put on.

You are aware that our fullback went off injured...?

Umm...filling in for the one injured in the game?:lol: Is it the coaches job to remind all players they're not playing beach touch and hold it one handed coming off your own line?:lol:

was our forward domination reflected in the final scoreline 32-14? i think not....

Inu wasn't injured?

Point to that score all you want, it really shows your lack of understanding of how the Warriors went today. Just a couple of bad calls and one K.Inu away from victory.

I think Bluey's persistence with Henry is starting to pay off. He was pretty dominant tonight.

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

If I were Bluey I'd be telling Bell to go and find some f**king speed out wide.

 

[Mr Angry]

Tell Fish he is a centre.

Let him pick a side. Give him a goal.

Can't keep picking 2nd rowers.

He didn't pick two second rowers tonight...

He's not out of place in first grade, he's very skillful, and defends well, but imo still isn't a centre.

Henry is getting blooded to take over Luck/Brown next year, but it's not going to help us this year.

 

[Mr Angry]

Still show him tapes of R Gasiner, ET, Renouf, all young centres struggle in defence at first.

 

[hitman82]

You're right in that he doesn't have the power off the mark or deft pass of a first grade centre. But he's starting to become effective enough to see us through until Hurrell is ready. Henry's reminding me of a cross between Mannering and Brown.

 

[Fast Eddie]

Meh he's solid defensively and looks quite a lot better with ball in hand in terms of not getting dominated in the tackle and making metres. Hopefully he develops some better skills setting up his outside man if they are going to stick with him.

 

[aargon]

next weeks team selection should be interesting if Ropo and Locke are still out.... Fish at FB and bring in Hurrell or Mannering at centre?

 

[NZ Warrior]

I'm warming more and more to Henry in the centres. At first, I didn't like it. But after seeing him play there a few times, he has really made a good fist of things.

It's good to have a centre who ACTUALLY sets up his wingman or other players around him!

Agree, I'm liking the Benry-Topou combo. If injuries persist then the other wing should be Hurrell-Manu with Fish at fullback (sigh). I don't mind seeing Inu at centre to redeem himself, but never be at the back again.

 

[attila_the_gorilla]

That play at the end of the first half when Benry should have drawn and passed, instead he passed to Tupou too soon. Huge mistake, hope he learns from it.
