OFFICIAL Luke Garner [Discussion]

[TrueTiger]

I think it is a good thing for different players being interviewed and get their opinion of how things are going at training and how Madge is working with the squad...

I did notice that Garner mentioned how good it was to work with JR and he is learning from him...
Maybe Madge does have a high regard for Josh and how he is positively influencing and helping the younger guys....
good reading...keep them coming...

I'm sure i'm in the minority here but I don't really like these fluff pieces.

So true.
"Fluff pieces" come out and inform us of what?
If any club wants their fans to feel good, what about honest up-to-date player info, reasons for minutes during a game, player attitudes & KPIs, all squad member updates (ie including those not in the top 17 - what's happeneing with them etc) and real info that has relevance.
No club provides fans the real inside info.

Because it's on a "Need to know" basis.

They feel, you don't "Need to know."

I can’t help wondering if a better backrower would have scored that try at the end. I realise he’s no Kikau or Angus Crichton, but geez he was easy meat Gutherson. That pass deserved better. It was a pearler.

 

[JC99]

That’s where the fullback should be up along side him as well. He should’ve stayed straight and tried to hold up Gutho a little

 

[innsaneink]

He didn't even look to his unmarked man to his left... Bombed it as badly as Brooks kick on tackle 1

 

[Strider]

Yeah need better in the NRL.

What was brooks thinking there was no one chasing

 

[tig_prmz]

The number of clutch plays Brooks has come up with this year.. I'm very impressed!

Why was Garner on the left though?

 

[innsaneink]

He had AJ out side him. Gardner need to straight up take /ride the Gutho tackle and pass to AJ for the try.. 101 stuff.. blew it...

Exactly

It was last tackle, the inside was covered and Asu was a little too far.

The best option is hindsight was to slow down and wait for Kepaoa but with things happening at such pace, I don't really blame him that much. I'm just glad we could create line breaks when needed.

 

[softlaw]

All Garner had to do was straighten, draw and pass and AJ goes in untouched. AJ wasn;t that far away!

He had time to set his support

 

[TieDye]

110% had time to get support but are we really going to criticise a bloke running such a good line, with decent hands (looking at u Mikaele), in the last game of the year and also looking to cement his future.

I'm happy there's a combination building between the two Luke's again!

'KFC' bucket Cummins saw us off

I think he chose the 2nd best option, but as I said when you're going at close to 80% of your speed and feel defenders behind you, you don't want to slow down. Most 2nd rowers wouldn't have been table to take that chance IMO

Another if only thread 😂 .. but I’ll add to it ..

Poor positional play from AJ cost them not Garner

 

[Furious1]

I was blowing up out there last night but having just seen it again i don't think Garner could have done anything else. There were more Parra players around it than WT. I suppose he could have just thrown a hail mary, but that would have been it.

Lol no.

Garner had every opportunity to slow down, straighten and hand off to AJ.

In the end it was a good tackle by Gutho, which our regular fullback this season couldn't have made.

Put a pretty good shot on Sivo, which he shouldn't have had to, and which a certain ex-fullback of ours knocked himself unconscious trying to replicate

Since when do forwards slow down when they make a line break ?
That’s why they are forwards cause they’re big and dumb ..lol
I’ll watch it again later but I reckon it was poor positional play from the backs

 

[the_third]

We need a fullback that follows all of those plays.
