what a depressing team...

AJ 'and' Talau back...just when I thought we'd seen the back of them.

That means no "immediate" swap for Fainu also.

 

[Tucker]

Kepaoa is a worse wing than Noffa
Tommy Talau is a shocking centre
Aitasi James for Twal is an unknown.
Apart from that, zero changes that weren’t forced.
This side is actually weaker than last weeks and the opposition is nearly as good.
Get the lube ready.

 

[balmain boy]

Good to see the back row rectified, but that backline is one of the worst ever fielded by any side ever in the history of the NRL. Give someone else a go you muppet sheens!

 

[Yossarian]

I’m assuming Naden and Noffa hurt their shoulders from the constant rush of opposition players going past them. Sounds like a classic heartlidge tear…

Like who exactly?

 

[WesternSuburbsBoy]

Like who exactly?

Would've like to seen Triston Reilly given a run over Talau

 

[Sasse]

Like who exactly?

Bateman back to an edge and Pole at lock, I believe.

I honestly think neither tried.

Naden ran up and barely bothered even pretending to defend.

Need both of them and Talau and co gone asap.

 

[Stevec]

I see kepoa was dropped because of defensive problems now he's back and Talau back and Tupou with all his errors still there .Another huge loss on the way but maybe Sheens will set them goals to lose by less than last week and win the last 20mins .
Love the strategy try this - didn't work - try that oh that didn't work either - try something else .

Talakai will run riot if we play like last week. Remember what happened to Morgan Harper? That could be one of our guys.

 

[balmain boy]

Like who exactly?

Reilly has been going ok in attack in NSW Cup, if he can't get a go ahead of the likes of Talau, Kepaoa, Naden and To'a after we concede 70 then he will never play first grade.
Feledy should have been playing NSW Cup for the past 4-6 weeks, alas our club has zero plan for junior development. It was pretty embarrassing that TDS went from being 'rested' from Flegg, playing 30 mins, to one game in NSW Cup then first grade. If we had any development plan then our juniors would be pushing for first grade by now but for some reason we keep holding them back.
Luke Laulilii should be playing flegg for the rest of the year once the schoolboys comp is finished, develop on the wing and promote him to nsw cup for 1 game.
Same with S Saukuru, he should have played a dozen flegg games so far this season, but he's only played a couple. He should be getting ready to move up to nsw cup but yet he's barely tasted flegg. Kit should be in NSW Cup now too, with Faagatu who should have been there for at least 4-6 games by now.
There's just no method to our junior development and the complete lack of talent in our nsw cup squad is evidence of that

100% ink hurt them selfs patting cowboy players for the win after the game
