Willie tonga!!!!

[Parra Pride]

Did he sign a 3 year deal with us or 2 years ?

2 years.

The only thing wrong with Tonga is that he doesn't trust the players around him.

And really, can you blame him?

:lol:

 

[Fifty Metre Line]

For a supposedly solid defender he had one of the worst defensive games ever.

Wasn't on his own though - just about everybody did.

 

[inside_pass]

Have to say Willie Tonga has been average for a while now.
Was under performing at the Cowboys so has been out of form for a long time.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Yeah it's all Willie Tonga's fault...........

f**ken oath.

For some reason Cheyse Blair is a crowd favourite and so the merkin is immune from criticism. I rate him but he was atrocious today.

Why do merkins need to single people out when it was such a terrible team performance?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

FMD - you get first prize for the best excuse maker ever to grace this forum :lol:
you've deadset got an excuse for everyone (except luke burt, but hey he's the popular kicking bag, so figures)

'Popular kicking bag'? The only reason Luke Burt is still in first grade is because he's popular with the fans.

The guy he was marking scored four tries today. Still, he certainly wasn't responsible for today's result, but if he'd played fullback he probably would have been.

 

[Gronk]

Willies timing is out after playing SFA footy. You would never not pick him though.

Because it easier to do that then face the actual reality. Its like the unfound love for Paulo

Actually, after the last few weeks I'm starting to rate Paulo. I was furious at him after the Dragons game though.

There are a few players in our team that aren't up to week-to-week first grade, but the only one who isn't young/inexperienced is Luke Burt.

Fan favouritism aside, he should never play first grade again. It's my only criticism of Kearney.

Yeah, the guy sure is hard to fault. I can see 4 or 5 years of domination under SK.

I stated earlier Paulo is a bench player at best. He is another player in the Dean Widders mould who looks a million dollars when his team is well on top. The false wraps Gould was giving him on the coverage even stuffing up when Penrith releasing him. Thats how much Gould must of think of him because it was mid 2011 not this year.

Simple fact is the forward pack is horrible and well below par. They get bashed and dominated week in week out yet it seems to be an outside back the main target.

And agree with what you said about Burt, shame we can't play NFL style and just sub him in for goal kicking.

 

[Maroubra Eel]

Willie has been very disappointing so far. I was excited when we signed him. Hope he isn't on too much cash because he's not earning it.

Cheyse Blair is still an Under 20. Willie Tonga has played multiple times for Qld and Australia. On current form, Ill take the Under 20 anyday

I agree Blair is a potential rep player, but Tonga has outplayed him these past two weeks - and Tonga has Burt and Sandow defending on either side of him.

Agree we would expect that from a player with so much experience, and I'm not giving Tonga any wraps - he should have given us more this year, though injury has hampered that. Still, he is by far the best defensive centre at the club, and he should be the first outside back picked.

 

[hybrideel]

i think Blair may need a rest for a week or 2 from the NRL grind. The kid has potential but his last couple of games has me thinking he needs a break.

 

[SDM]

Blair should be banned from grubbering.

 

[Craig Johnston]

cheyse blair has been terrific even when he's been off his best, his work-rate is incredible for such a young kid. he's regurlarly completing 25+ tackles which given the attack generally going the other way is amazing. he makes strong metres on kick returns and has thrown a few terrific balls to sio.

against manly he was a victim of trying too hard.

but any back playing behind our rubbish pack's performance this weekend can be forgiven imo especially once offs

All those channel 9 muppets have been waxing lyrical about how good Curtis Sironen is too. He was pathetic on Friday night and demonstrated he's not up to first grade standard particularly with is turnstile defense.

The point being, I wouldn't read too much into anything those imbeciles say, they're some of the worst judgesm, astonishing as it may sound.

He had the unenviable task of having to defend against Tony Williams all day. I'm sure he would have learnt alot from the experience but you can't blame him for trying to get up in Williams' face as quickly as possible.

Unfortunately, nobody else in the defense line followed him up and it was overlaps galore.

 

[oldmancraigy]

Willie Tonga was USELESS yesterday. Easily our 4th worst outside back in that game (there's only 4 of them).
