Kurtis Rowe [Discussion]

[WTDiehard]

The kid is trying but IMO he's just not 1st grade standard ATM.

I thought after the parra game we should have either nofo or simona at fback…..bring koro/luali or Taquele onto the wing or in the side.

Austin is also playing very well, should be starting at hooker atm in farah's absense ATM......and he must be putting pressure on anasta's spot in the side once robbie returns.

We lost it through the middle today, not because of numbers six and one. Bodene put us on the back foot with that stupid shoulder on the kicker in the first set. We were under the pump immediately and they had us from then on, and would have been absolutely flogged had Kelly not gone off early.

Whilst losing Ava did not help,I don't think we will see Potter select such a lightweight pack for a while, nor use Fulton off the bench. We really missed Gavet coming on for Sauce early in the match and zero impact from a toiler in Liam as well.

Wasnt a shoulder charge. It was a shirt front. The refs got it wrong if you ask me.

It was a push with two hands, the refs over reacted.

He gave up chasing Don.

That is the end of him as far as I am concerned.

At least have a go

ANASTA is not and hasn't been a five eighth for years. We had no structure today and no clue in attack. Anasta was again invisible except for his errors. There may be a role for him in forwards but please don't persevere with this dud at five eighth.

Yeh I picked up on that too….he initially dogged it then remembered where he was, too late

Rowe Rowe Rowe your boat , down to the 20s.
Nofo to fback and koro onto the wing. He hasn't even looked like saving a try in the past few weeks.
To small to slow

Anasta's defence was sound, but his general play was less than average. I didn't think Rowe was too bad today in a pretty badly beaten outfit. We lost the ruck and therefore the field position. It's difficult for any back to 'shine' under those circumstances. Anyway, what alternative do we have? Simona will be out for several weeks I would think, and Nofa's knee didn't look good. So I reckon Rowe will be there for the Roosters game. Braith should be shaking hands with the reggies.

Anyone know how Abou-Sleiman has gone in his few games?

Hate that we are here bagging a young kid but it is true. Not only does he miss every tackle, he doesnt even get close to making one.

Hahaha , thats true
Missed tackles, poor positioning and no heart with ball return.

You have to have courage to wear #1 Jersey and this kid is too scared or fragile at this stage.
Gotta tuffen up kid.

Someone show him Hodgo highlights pls

You aren't going to get a cohesive performance when you have so many injuries every week

We got lucky last week and at times Brooks overplayed his hand

We lost the forward battle

Our completion rate would of been disgusting

Rowe and Anasta weren't great , but who does Potter pick instead ??

If you change half the backline around to replace Rowe we will have bigger issues with a lack of cohesion

Many of us said we would be happy if we could of been 2-3 with the injuries we have and we are 1-1 and people are complaining

With a salary cap ,when you have multiple injuries you are going to struggle week to week

We've had a bad week , lets get on to next game and try and rectify it

 

[alexaki]

Yep Rowe is not FG standard….all he has done in 3 weeks is confirm we must sign Teddy...

Row needs this year in NSW Cup to develop his body and his game....he has not shown any glimpses of form to support the raps that came with him...

Simona to FB and Lulia to centres.

 

[Chainlink]

Considering its likely that Simona will miss a few games, what options do we have?

1) persist with Rowe
2) try Nofa or Patty at back and promote Koro
3) promote Abou-Sleiman and relegate Rowe back to 20s

Im guessing Potter will choose option 1 and with other troops to slowly return its probably the best option in terms of consistency.

Who does potter pick instead of Anasta??? Are you kidding??? Matt Utai would do better.

 

[king_sirro]

What good is being consistently bad Shaky?

 

[851]

Rowe isn't gutless,he is just not up to NRL standard,and Anasta is just way past it,both have to go.

 

[Chainlink]

What good is being consistently bad Shaky?

I agree Rowe seems out of his depth at this stage. So whats the solution? Try nofo and disrupt the backline more? I just think potter will persist rather than disrupt more positions.

Yeah of course he would :roll (I know your kidding )

So if Austin is still injured pick a 6 that doesn't disrupt an already heavily disrupted backline ??

If I was Potter I wouldn't risk long term for possible short term gain with Moses

If you make Moses's debut against the Roosters you are risking his future imo

 

[Chainlink]

Anastas not going anywhere guys. Get used to having him there for a few rounds yet. We need troops back from injury before potter will make any decent changes to an already disrupted lineup.
