I watched this game and the standard was really poor, the amount of dropped ball and skill level was poor. Like most people I though Sullivan would be a good signing, he just looks lost, whether to be an attacking half or controlling half, I remember that magic round where he was so dangerous...
Seriously, if anybody thinks Bateman was worth the money being paid for an elite backrower, its a joke. He has had 1 good game since he has been at the club, and being competeive and talking a lot doesnt cut it. He is not a lock either, keep on saying it, to small these days and has not impact...
Bula is a great prospect, what worries me, who in the club is coaching his development. I remember Billy Slater saying, I hope they get somebody to coach him playing fullback.
Ive been saying for over a year, all teams have either a big mobile edge backrower or a mobile backrower with tryscoring ability, we do not. Also watching other games our attack looks ordinary, even the games we have won (2)
I agree on the Bateman comment, his days as a small backrower are gone, he gets dominate everytime he runs the ball, competes well and thats about it, not worth 650,00 a year
I see that Paul Kent must really must hate the TIGERS, first saying that Leichhardt Oval should be scrapped and no money given to an upgrade, how mush he doesn't like Leichhardt and if the NRL did buy it and upgrade, it would not be fair on other Teams. Then goes on how API should have been...
Watched the game a second time yesterday, he didn't get talked about, but Fonua Pole had a great game, he was in everything, his all round effort was top class
I have been saying it for a year, Bateman will be one of the worst signings we have ever made, does anybody think he is worth the 650k plus a year, plus the transfer fee they payed ? His type of back rower is gone, and has been for a while, they are all big mobile units now or at least one of...
Like most people, I was disappointed by the trial performance, especially with the both attacking and defensive efforts. In attack there was nothing, no structure no depth, nothing, who is the attack coach ? Seyfarth is not a lock, and lacks genuine leg speed and drive, why is POLE not starting...
I know its only a trial, but nothing depth wise excited me (We dont have a Reece Walsh type Player), was really happy with the starting forwards for the first 30 mins, of the new players, Lobb did well, Faataape also and Willett impressed me, will need some confidence, I remember somebody said...
