More accurate.

Nah I like T. May and Fainu x 3

I would drop Luai and Api in a heartbeat though

 

[davey_farrell]

Dont see the latu hate to be honest 5th full game hits harder in defence then everyone of our forwards.

I would pay a tigers forward to put a shot on any of them.

agree

I like them too, but I haven't seen them play well recently. Api is too old, and Luai doesn't care now he's got his pay check.

 

[tigerslad]

Getting harder and harder to defend Luai at this point

 

[pawsandclaws1]

Everyone has a different favourite, but imo Bula is such a good player he makes other players around him look good. Imo he is our best player.

 

[Mighty Mouse]

This is going to move quickly towards need to turn tv off territory

 

[pawsandclaws1]

Taylan May great intent in defence.

 

[Westie]

We need AD to start kicking on the 5th. Has to start playing 80 min

 

[Tbone]

We continue to kick too deep. Apart from one kick from Luai that found the turf the rest have not been uncontested. We need to either kick higher or with less depth so we can make it a competition. That right edge defence is putrid today - if Toa isn't able to use his left shoulder he shouldn't be out there.

It doesn’t get mentioned often for some reason, but Luai has a poor long kicking game. I don’t actually think that he can kick it any higher. He gets no hang time on his kicks. Possibly the lowest of any “dominant half” in the entire comp.

To go with that, the team’s kick chase is as bag as any team in the comp. It’s shocking how few 5th tackle kicks are contested in attack.

 

[Chunk]

Don't worry about field position. Penrith carries find their front and a quick ptb. WT carries are rolled onto their back, and a slow ptb.

The game is all about the ruck, and WT just lose it every single week. Last week it was against the last placed team. WT still had a chance. Against the 4x premiers, you're going to get owned.

This is so true.

Our ruck speed and line speed are noticeably inferior, and puts defence on the back foot.

Our kick chase needs improving as well, big time

 

[BAGNF05]

Vossy calling out To’a as a passenger. Needs a rest for sure.

 

[Mighty Mouse]

Poor old api

 

[tigerslad]

Is Luai going to keep putting those dogshit kicks up or is he gonna switch it up?

 

[Tim Sheens]

Everyone has a different favourite, but imo Bula is such a good player he makes other players around him look good. Imo he is our best player.

Wish he was there again tonight, even if just to get Turuva back to the wing.

 

[Milky]

Im convinced these guys dont practice set plays at training

 

[Westoz]

How can you call out AD without calling Luai?

 

[Moh]

We're back to the Brooks set.

Our long kicking game sucks. Short isn't the best either, but long is just horrendous.

 

[Tim Sheens]

Vossy calling out To’a as a passenger. Needs a rest for sure.

As have plenty of us, as it has long been obvious.

 

[Mighty Mouse]

Is turuva playing as our best forward and back?

 

[Snidest 0]

Pole needs to sort out his defence - there has been serious regression!
