**Live game thread* WT vs Eels

[batboy]

I don't get this. Who says his best position is 6. Him and his fanboys like me ? It's stupid.

Go out there and rip and tear.

He wasn't that bad. He just didn't get involved enough.

Defence and attitude was garbage

 

[WT2K]

Had enough of watching Tuilagi. Tumeth next cub up, thanks.

Tonight was really a case of rocks and diamonds. One minute your rapping a player the next your stunned. There were some stand outs as well. Our pack really stood up for the most part. Shame we went down to 12, that was the turning point. At least we didnt get completely towelled.

 

[trentrunciman]

Man love. The best kind of LOVE

How's you can hear him complaining the entire game...

"😭😭😭 he shoulder charged me sir "

Biggest cat in the game.

love you demps

 

[clokan]

Benji reckons they should try

7 Brooks
6 AD
13 Hastings

Not sure if he's got an inside word...

not sure if any of them are the answer

 

[cktiger]

Brooks copping it deluxe, as expected. But he was still our best half tonight by a mile.

What are you smoking?

 

[Demps]

I guess the rumours were true during the week. And the only reason he was “gutted“ was the truth got out that he carried on like a prima donna

He played like a sulking child.

He wasn't involved and didn't appear to want to be involved.

Underwhelming and very disappointing.

Laurie is a park footballer featherweight.
Jacko is cooked, I believe he escapes criticism because he too, also, doesn't even try and take control of the game.

Brooks cops it the most because he's the most active and makes the most mistakes which makes his garbage more noticeable.
One man spine player tonight and more than likely the least skilled out of the spine so his failings are too obvious.

This is a budget tier spine imo.

I'd like to see Kepaoa given another go. He offers more imo than Toa with both power, pace and most importantly ball promoting,

 

[Twodogs]

Yep. Brooks is a terrier. I don't care what anyone says the kid plays with more heart than 99% of the players out there.

So what? So would I but I wouldn't suggest for a moment that I should be running the show.

 

[Demps]

AD needs a slap up the back of the head until his attitude is where it should be.
He's 2 games back from a year off and deserves nothing.

Yeah, thought he loved the jersey...

Played like Mitch Moses.




This Mitch Moses.

What are you smoking?

God, here he is. What did your pin up boy do tonight?

 

[batboy]

AD is a lock IMHO . He’s not dynamic enough for a centre . See Brent Naden and Waga Blake for reference .
And he’s not fast enough for 6 . Caveat to that though is if we let Madden take the 7 . Hastings amd AD is

Doesn't like the Tough stuff....

Laurie tried hard tonight. He also cops a lot of flak which imo is unwarranted. I hope he keeps his form going,

 

[stryker 69]

Brooks has decent defence but shit decision making in attack.
Doueihi has poor defensive reads but decent decision making in attack.
Brooks has a decent downtown kick, Doueihi has an excellent bomb.
Brooks has better speed of the two.

To me the decision is obvious and I’ve mentioned it once or twice over the past 18 months…Doueihi goes to 6, Brooks goes to 3.

Not a fan of him, but at least he had a go.

 

[earl]

The story is Matamua, Tupou and Pole. Hopefully others such as Tumeth get a go as well. There is a lot to like for our future regardless of the doom and gloom.

Agreed.These are the positives.

Simple eh.

 

[earl]

not sure if any of them are the answer

I'm starting to worry about them. I thought we could find a good set of halves out of them and Madden.

 

[Demps]

Lazy in cup despite getting two tries.
He ain't the answer.

 

[cktiger]

God, here he is. What did you pin up boy do tonight?

You talking about Hastings?
Set up three tries through his awareness.
He also didn't kick on the second tackle when we needed to hold the ball, give a six again in our 25 to gift Parra a try, drop the ball in their 10 to stop our attack, miss countless tackles on Moses, miss the ball completely when trying to kick it dead or kick out on the full.
You're welcome.
