[Elderslie_Tiger]

flanno then bring in flanno jr on $$$$$$ 5 yr contract

We don't need a new coach a good back and a mobile prop to compliment Stefano will see us go to a different level

 

[avocadoontoast]

Stef, Blore, AD, Laurie and Simpkin are the future of the club. We need to hang on to all of them.

Cut the crap guys

Mikaele? MCK? Mbye?

We need to kick the M players out I guess....I feel like as bad mikaele has been, he still needs to be there to bend the line

Has he got baby hands

 

[TYGA]

The play that was straight out dumb was the ball from Mbye to Nofa who went in to touch. We were up 18 with 10 to go. I’m glad he’s going no smarts in his game and wants to always pass the ball and not take contact. Work for a repeat set or take a field goal.

What I found surprising was some of the criticism for signing Maumalo on here. He’s a professional winger finishes everything and carries the ball out of trouble. He’s finding his feet will be a good player for us.

He is a solid footballer. Great signing as far as I’m concerned.

Tuilagi slowly coming into his own. Really straightens our attack and he runs really nice lines and scored a good try.

Maumalo improving every week. If he can keep this up he'll end up being a very good signing, such a big boost having a winger like him to start sets off by breaking tackles. He's also a great finisher and aerial threat

**Doueihi improves on his last two weeks with an excellent performance. One poor kick but besides that he was really good**

Stefano will be playing origin soon enough. What a superstar!

Tuki will be an excellent player when he trims down and speeds up a bit. Like his offloads and he runs straight and hard

Jake Simpkin excellent in his stint. Really engaged markers, got our forwards rolling and provided good service especially for the Talau try.

Talau becoming a really good attacking player - there's a good player in there. Needs to work on the simple stuff but he can score a try

Haven't really seen it mentioned, whilst Brooks was superb in defence both Doueihi and Twal also made some crucial tackles.
Twal would've surely topped the tackle count, (not surprising though) noticed him involved a lot more than usual.

I just wish he would promote the ball sometimes.

46 tackles, 0 missed from Twal. Also 133 run metres, he's ever consistent. Doueihi defence certainly looked better too

Has anyone done the maths or pros and cons of the Sharkies results tomorrow and the next few weeks I think its going to be close

I know it's a joke but there a good chance we finish ninth

Maumalo was great. it’s taken him a few weeks to find his feet but he will be real good for us.

All of those players are on long contracts with us, so as long as we don’t have a Matterson/Aloiai off season blow up we should keep them all.

Almost 200 running metres. His dirty hit ups make a big difference for us

The whole team was not to bad tonight with missed tackles.. The backs had the most but it was like only 14 total for the game. Just needed to fix up the handling errors

Its what Noffa used to do ...until Lee gave him 4 more years and a certain pension subsidy...

Unfortunately instead of having two really good wingers, Ken has progressed and hopefully will continue, Nofo’s gone backwards it seems.

Maumolo was great tonight.

Thought that was his best game for us.

Agreed..was good last week..great tonight..Makes Metres ..Safe under the high ball.. a threat in the air in attack..great finisher..

Overall my two bobs worth on that game is that we started better than usual and looked a lot more interested in winning than we have in some past games. In the first half we should have scored more points but had to deal with the ref not policing the ruck and also standing 8 meters back for them, plus some really stupid and costly mistakes which halted any momentum. The pitch didn't help either - very slippery that end.
We were slow to start out of the sheds in the second half and lucky that they were also poor. I thought most of our guys played well apart from the usual offenders (TT and Mbye), Noffa was poor and Mikaele average. Liddle was good in the first half but still goes missing at dh too much. Simpkin added some spark and should have been on 10 mins earlier. Blore is improving each game and Tuilagi showed something as well. Uto was our best forward and Luc got involved in a bit more D although his A wasn't as effective has usual.
MCK defended well but is useless in A as a typical centre - needs to make runs out wide like an edge player instead of trying to be a centre. AD was good in some areas of his game but poor in others, however his D was more solid. Brooks played well for the most part but seemed his running game was put off by the slippery surface- his kicking game was 50:50 and the sin bin was an unlucky outcome for some great defence by him.
Shame Laurie is out, (Garner and Seyfarth as well), as with him playing right now instead of Mbye we would be a far better proposition.
