Is it a 1 man team?

No mate, but the half plays a big role in how the team plays together

 

[TigerNeddyK]

If we don’t score more than 2 tries today it will again prove we have more attacking deficiencies than just the halves, so let’s wait and see.

I fail to see the logic,, How does it prove that ? To me it enforces the fact that the halves are a massive problem not minimise it .

 

[TigerNeddyK]

He fires out of the line and more often or not it comes off. However he doesn’t leave himself many alternative options. In Melbourne it works. In our side he will be well exposed.

Like Nofa is and Kepoa and now Toa ?? But at least when Olam does it he actually takes the player out of the play .👍🏼😉

Pretty much ponga.

 

[TigerNeddyK]

Anyone with half a brain knows the one player who’s carrying that team. It ain’t the 7

And the people with an entire brain know he is doing a very good job as the 7

I think WT have done relatively well to secure two rising stars and a seasoned game manager for around the $1.2m mark. Might be less if St George is paying some of Sullivan's freight over the next year or two.

Need to now concentrate solely on positions 3-5.

I would like to know who the seasoned game manager is 🤔

Same, a lot of the supporters on this forum seem overly fixated on Figures .. I do not get it at all., they also whinge that we cannot sign anyone then whinge and whine about the salary .. absolutely confuses the F out of me .. seems to be a lot of would be accountants that must just be jealous about what NRL players earn.. why worry when we have no control over it, it has no quantifiable effect on our enjoyment of the teams performance and as such it is not our problem .

Probably because it took has two to three years to address the cap issues that Cleary created through signing players on long inflated contracts that did not produce results.

Almost everytime Ponga touched the ball he made a break through the Dolphins line, & on most occasions there were players backing him up.

When anyone in our team make a break ( not often )
They look for someone to offload the ball to,
And mostly no one there to pass it to.

Precisely! Combine this with the way that they stand flat footed when the playmakers do go to the line, and also seem to all be standing back till the 6th tackle as if they are preparing for a big team move/play n the 5th that is not even called and you see why we are easily contained . It is so frustrating and average , they are not backing up or supporting each other, it is so lazy

Yep, that's why we need to give the keys to fulton. Without his relationship with players and player management our recruitment would be much worse.

Yet to see him deal with anyone other than Tartak.

Just on the signing of Sullivan and the potential signing of Sezer, both were said to confirmed pending a medical. I've not seen that mentioned with any other players before, perhaps it has and ive not paid attention. Im guessing thats standard practice with us now given our history of signing guys with injuries.

If we really want to have a strong roster we have to start making calls on a few that are occupying space In our top 30 but are yet to get a go in 1st grade
I would like to use last few rounds to see if Feledy ,Reilly ,Tumeth , Boyling , and anyone with potential can make it in the big league
If we are confident in the young ones we've just recruited then find out if we have one or two others already on board

 

[palms]

It is standard for every club regardless of the player. Have to do the due diligence.

 

[Eternal Tiger]

I want to hear how wonderful Flanagan is at building a roster AFTER he signs his son Kyle.

Point is at this point beggars cannot be choosers

I'm sure ponger made the breaks because of Hastings according to this forum.

Fainu has scored a try in NSW cup and manly are up. Wonder how he is playing

 

[Flippedy]

Of course not, but I think the number 7 would play a pretty important part in any team’s on field success (or failure) wouldn’t you agree?

Make that 2 tries now..

Remarkable that the only year that the Sharks were Cap compliant was the year they won the Comp! I won't even mention the Peptide issue....I wouldn't be hanging my hat on how well Flanagan manages the salary cap or runs the club.
