Halfback

[king_sirro]

Wakeham is finally showing what I said he would when we signed him. I thought I was wrong and I was hoping I was wrong, but clearly he somehow over achieved the first part of the season to give false hope. Maybe Brooks carried him. Just shows how good Brooka is. Anyway, he is a disgrace and we have to do anything we can to get any half out there over the bye to come on board. Trindall, Sexton, Volkman, Clune, I don't care. All are 100% better then Wakeham.

Clune looked good in NSW cup today

A few of them are “over achieving” it seems

Well I guess that’s why Gus let him go !

We are desperate.

 

[die hard]

Lawrie in the halves and Tupou one and a half mètres back in attack and tonight would have been a lot less frustrating.

 

[krissy]

Wakeham was totally out of his depth tonight, he isn’t first grade material. At times he looked like he had no idea what he was doing & his passing is terrible. He is a liability, I know we don’t have depth but surely we have to have some other options.

He’s probably not a long term solution, but he’s a very good on field communicator/leader, has a decent kicking game and does the basics well.
A little bit suspect in defence, but much better than what we currently have.
I believe he’d sign with us tomorrow if he knew he was playing NRL for the rest of this season and option to stay on as our number one back up halve for next season.

laure in the halfs does nothing get a actual half in and not will smith
im sick of us finding centres or fullbacks to play a 5/8 or 1/2 role

Question as I did not see the game was it obvious that we are missing Brooks or no one noticed him gone ?

 

[Todd Packer]

You could tell from the first set of 6 on Melbourne's line we were gone. We have no halves.

We missed having a halfback for sure. Not necessarily Brooks, but just any other half in the comp. would do a better job than what we've got.

Didn't notice him gone. in fact, Wakeham's useless up and under bombs imitated Brooke's useless kicks perfectly. Compare to Hughes's kicks.

Missed him on current form and kicking

 

[426Tlgerland]

Wakeman was poor😡
Toa should have been left at centre as he was going great ✅
Laurie given 5/8 would have been better ✅
Reilly in for Naden , Reilly has been going well much better than Naden ✅
Will Smith on the bench , as we didn’t use one of our reserves at all 🤬

We signed him to play NSW Cup. It's actually not his fault that WT are so shit, that he gets picked every week. He's playing to his standard

Going from Wakeham to Clune..... shuffling deckchairs. If the Club can't secure us a top tier half, just pack it up and give Perth the franchise. Already missed Moses, Hunt available, Dogs already spoken to him......but we've got a shiny new Barbers Chair at Concord 🤪🤪

Exactly.

Our entire starting spine from the start of the year of Laurie, Douehi, Brooks and Api were out. Wakeham had to play half back in first grade with a 5/8 with no experience in the position. Expecting Wakeham to be effective last night was unrealistic.

 

[Tito Santana]

Clune looks like a combination of a Z grade pornstar and a knight from medieval times. The kind of non descript you would see in a Braveheart battle getting killed easily by an arrow.

He’s probably not a long term solution, but he’s a very good on field communicator/leader, has a decent kicking game and does the basics well.

Plus he is shit.

The fact that he’s playing NSW Cup justifies my point - inherently shit.
