**live game feed** vs the Roosters

[Swordy]

A few saying Brooks is terrible? I'm watching a different game. His kicking is a fail, but otherwise the best game he has played in 18 months. I know, it's a low standard, but it's a start.

So far we’re up 6-2 in repeat sets if anyone cares 😂

Who wrote the Leilua brothers are fit? Big week on the Oporto by the looks.

Joey Leiluia has been bludging ever since he signed up with the club, Get rid of him.

It’s a delicate one because his brother is up for renewal nov 1 , and we can’t just screw over BJ, no matter how bad he plays . But we can’t carry the 2 of them anymore , I was a big advocate for him , but his defence is beyond dismal . And I see him putting the effort in , he’s just too slow .

Our right side defence is terrible, but that’s not the issue.

If we could build some pressure with some good kicks the rest of the team wouldn’t be gassed.

Brooks has had every possible chance to improve his kicking game but it’s still terrible.

Sign Reynolds.

Left side not right

Yep, our left their right, but you know who I mean.

WT would have to be simple to take up the 1 year option on BJ's contract next year. Save the 500k and buy a proper centre.

Positives - we are making meters with a simple game plan

Liddle is running and passing from the ground, what he is good at.

Garner has been strong but made a silly mistake again he has to get rid of those simple/stupid mistakes

Laurie this kid is brilliant

Negatives -

Lucy his worst game for us. He is coming far too far across in the middle defense. Everytime he does the roosters go wide and get results.

BJ is terrible, ineffective with the ball and looks out of it without the ball. No urgency at all.

Brooks short kicking game

Our attacking structure is the worst in the comp.

Only Liddle, Laurie and Twal are only players noticed in the attack!
In the attack we have big holes: Talau, Garner, Brooks, Doueihi, L & J Leilua, AJ, and all props!

 

[TooLong]

And to think we let Momers go to keep the imposter

 

[Newtown]

So glad we signed Laurie. He has so much potential. We really need to start moving up hard in defense, Keary is having a field day.

Where would we be without Laurie? The rest of our backs , especially left side) need to show more. Even Garner is outshining the backs.

Hopefully Brooks, Liddle & Laurie keep probing through the middle, plenty of opportunities there. Give the short kicking licence to Laurie & Douehie for the 2nd half. Need a better attitude in defence!

5 in the last 2 mins was good

Its not the right side defence where the the problems are,the LHS defence is pitiful.BJ should watch the rest of the game on TV he has been beyond terrible

That’s what I meant, but if you can’t control field position every defence leaks points.

He runs well nobody disputes that but as a half he needs to kick and control the game he does niether

 

[haberfield_tiger]

Kept bj over momerovski. What were we thinking

 

[innsaneink]

If we don't change the ls for the second half, I an questioning that game Madge is watching..

What

Left side

 

[Mighty_Tiger]

If Madge really wants Joey in the team he should be a bench forward who’s one and only job is to run straight A’s hard as he can

Running straight is far to simple for him at the moment. On current form I don’t even want him in reggies.

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

And to think we let Momers go to keep the imposter

we let momorovski go to get Laurie a year early

5 in the last 2 mins was good

3 in the last 2 mins

 

[JC99]

It's not even just Joey stuffing our left edge up, it's all of them

There's massive gaps and overlaps before roosters are even running their plays. Absolutely 0 communication there

 

[Cairnstigers]

Blaming the refs week after week is dumb, they have no agenda. Left side defence poor, brooks with some ordinary 5th tackle options and kicks but nice to see him trying a few things. Forwards trying hard, Liddle and laurie best for us

The second one I understood what he was doing . He kicked long to get it to sit dead in the wet . He put backspin on it . It was too risky though , he should have just done the basic grubber for repeat set .

He shouldn't be trying anything fancy. Kicking game is wildly out of form

We would have better luck running it on the last

 

[TillLindemann]

Why is Brooks left to tackle a second rower and Lucy in at Keary.
Madge needs to put Mbye in centre and Joey in the 2nd Row when Liddle comes back on

For all of Brooks's faults, at least he always has a go in defence and takes on the big fellas.
