I think part of it is, with us, he had more freedom to play to his strengths. Had a decent short pass, decent offload, was given the latitude to stand in tackles, and use some late footwork.
His biggest strength was he could play longer minutes with us. He did this out of necessity because we...
I hate this. I don’t think the team is successful or resilient enough to travel to Vegas, face the storm and come back underdone or jet-lagged.
Obviously hope I’m wrong but can’t see anything worse than going all that way to get beaten, then be on the back foot for the rest of the season...
Twal has been amazing but maybe having Twal up front with May to shore up our middle and dominate the ruck might help. That’s IF Roberts goes on to show some good form and ability.
Twal has been phenomenal though. Been great at lock.
Oh my bad sorry I’m not too sharp sometimes 🤣.
That makes sense.
I really rate Roberts as a player. Hopefully he proves it’s a mistake from the Roosters to let him go.
When he was at the Roosters there was debate whether he was a middle or edge forward.
Consensus was edge forward that would eventually move into the middle similar to Sam Fainu when he arrived here.
Looks the goods and useful to have a player that can play any running forward position. He’s...
I’m really excited to see Ethan Roberts named. I’ve seen him a bit at the Roosters but has anyone seen him play this year?
I think he was playing Flegg but played the last week or so in cup?
It’s interesting that pundits are calling out the bulldogs for being too deep in attack. I think a few people on here might have called Galvin out at points last season when he was with us.
The thing I love most about this situation is we could have kept Galvin here last year and this year and made him play state cup out of spite.
And that might have actually aided his development as a player and as a half.
Instead he heads to the bulldogs, ruins their season, unsettles the...
Both fair points. I think with Toa’s injury, it might have been seen as a reason for his poor end of year form. That’s the way I saw it
I guess it’s hard to argue the signing was a bad move for the club.
Disagree with Makasini given we need his class. I think fully fit he’s in our top squad...
