Yep there have been a few hip drops missed in the past couple of weeks but as Tucker said Api's tackling technique is poor he often tackles from the side or behind and wraps his legs around. Always going to be contentious.
No Hope.
I really don’t know why he isn’t next cab off the rank in the halves. Especially how when given the chance last year, he tore the Roosters apart. I know it’s easy to stick the boot in after a loss, but I’ve been saying it for a while. Madden is not the answer. He should be behind Latu. You hear how good Latu is, yet he’s hardly ever given an opportunity.
I can just see a situation where Api spends another 3 or 4 weeks suspended this season, the match officials will scrutinize the hell out of him and playing long minutes and fatigue will lead to him making crucial errors unless something changes.
As I said yesterday, not only are people suggesting these kids, but suggesting them with the expectation they’ll make a difference.
I think goal kicking and tactical kicking is giving Madden edge especially with Doueihi out.
His defence is not good enough to play hooker
Really he kicks it straight down the players throat, if that’s all he is there for , he’s not worth having him in the team
No long low grabbers , no 40/20 attempts ,no kick over top , no kick to wingers , not good enough , just bombs that we’re 50% ok for us to have a crack at , most go straight to opposition,
Yeah, agree. I cant fault Luai for what hes done for us off the pitch. At the time for us where we were at as a club he was worth every penny of the 1.2 million. He showed the lads how to train and what it took. Were struggling now cause were massively down on troops. No team with our injury list is going to compete. Not with your top 5 players out. On the pitch hes no leader. He might be great behind the scenes but in the heat of battle he nowhere to be found. We need him now to keep the guys togeather and their head in the game and hes gone missing. If P.N.G think Luai will bring them success theyre kidding themselves. Hes the best signing to make to help build the club. If they did it thinking he will win them games theyre in for a rude shock. Its the unlimited 3rd party agreements and tax free dollars thatll win them games not Luai.
When you look at ot that way we will have a massive offseason with new signings. Id assume within the next month or two we would start hearing of the guys were signing. I can see us promoting 2 maybe 3 players but we just dont have the depth. We need to bring guys in from outside.
Unfortunately I think they are upgrading from within
Yeah? Who kicks goals as an alternative?
Didn't see yesterdays game, doesn't sound like he went too well. I wouldn't dump him yet, his kicking was very good in the 3 game window he played earlier in the year.
