Herbert will not defend any better than toa unfortunately
it is not fixing the problem
both are crap

Tyrell Sloane is off contract we need depth, ask dragons if we can take him prior to June 30
better at fullback than mason
It was reported benji had a look at Sloane early.parts of the season

Come on man you cant be talking about defense and then mention Sloane.

Herbert...at least he will have a crack and not dog it like ST....he hasnt seemed to bad to me the few times ive watched

Sloane to the wing or fullback we could use him instead of mason. This could allow skelton to go to wing or makasini come in.

Think benji will make an offer to Sloane

not much difference at all between Herbert and Toa, they are both just as bad.

It would be pretty hard to sink lower than Toas’ defensive effort in the last match. Makasini was also terrible at centre in the first half of the Warriors game (although came good surprisingly quickly). After Tavana’s performance Benji is also probably hesitant to throw a junior back in for another rinsing.

toa's performance was ordinary but he had a winger outside him that was pathetic too
dont speak to soon Herbert has to tackle and not go for intercepts
our defence out there could be just as bad

Herbert is an intercept merchant, his defence is not much better than toa's.
like toa' good game against cowboys last year at LO Herbert had a good game against Newcastle who were missing Best, Ponga etc.
Both are very poor options from a defence perspective

if fit would have preferred makasini

Yeah but you’ve gotta dig out the archives to find T’oas last good game. Atleast Herbert has a bit of recent form with Cup and the Knights game. Slim pickings I guess

that is cup though... Toa probably comes out and plays well in cup this week.
All I am saying is Herbert is not very good defensively either. Attack wise Herbert is pretty ok, perhaps better in attack than Toa

Fact is Herbert atleast performed in Cup, and rightly got promoted. A traffic cone would have defended better than T’oa against the sharks

and toa may well perform too he is yet to play
doesnt change Herbert can't defend either.
benji punted the entire side
sukkar
toa
Tavanna
ALL defended poorly not just one bloke.

hope Herbert defends well this week, doubt he has it in him to tackle, so hoping storm attack the other side

I've got a few of them, traffic cones/witches hats.
I used to run a small traffic control business. I still have enough for a 1km contraflow 😂😂 I also have some stop/go signs, a few bollards & some tiger tails.....I could lend them to Benji for that edge??

can the traffic cones catch too ?
Tavanna needs the help
 
With their star halfback coming back from injury the Storm are going to be a different proposition than in their last few weeks, they certainly won't be a pushover.

Our boys will have to contain both him & Grant around the ruck, put them.on their backs to slow the play the ball "legally" not giving away 6 agains lying all over them.
 
Agree with your concerns about Hughes coming back after missing last week, but aside from that game I think he has played in all of their losing games this season.

He has generally been fairly ineffective, but with the Craig Bellamy thing, them being at home, Wests Tigers being decimated all over the park and the history of Storm putting a score on us does not exactly fill you full of confidence.

Hoping for a big bounce back by our boys but as I have already said, not exactly brimming full of confidence.
