Masterstrokes

Lets put a young gun FULLBACK on the wing. Lets rest our most consistent and inspirational player and send on a penalty ridden second grader. Whats going on?

Sheens must be laughing his ass off as he sits on his lounge made of 100 dollar bills.

They are two very strange decisions. Interesting to see at the moment that Ayshford just challenged a high kick from the left wing and Tedesco ran onto an inside ball on the midfield. Is Moltzen still out there?

It is hard to argue with your thread post…
Only positive is - Potter at least is confident to try things which maybe gives us idea he will def make changes and try things .. It didn't work tonight.. Hopefully he's a quick learner

Just answered my own question after watching Cherry-Evans score from that debacle. No one has a clue, least of all theTiger players.

Replacing Farah was a boneheaded decision. Potter keeps this up and he can follow Sheens. That was a baffingly retarded thing to do.

Potter is proving to be a strange dude. The Farah thing was very odd.

Why do the whole Utai/Tedesco bullshit as well.

Your not good enough to be playing mind game just yet Potter.

Tedesco to Utai I understand why he did it. But subbing Farah was beyond stupid. He was one of the few trying and by the time he got back on the game was pretty much over for us. He was filthy and rightly so.

Yeah I understand why he did it and it wouldn't of mattered who played wing today.
But why do the whole secret thing of being interviewed and saying Utai was playing when he clearly wasn't.

Sacking Farah as my SC captain 5 mins before lockout was a masterstroke

That I can't tell you. I guess the same reason Trent Merrin has been named at #13 for the first three rounds yet plays off the bench every week. Coaches like to think they're tricking people?

While I agree on the Farrah front, lets give him the benefit of the doubt. If nothing it proved how much of a lynch pin Robbie is and how little faith he should put it Benji steering the ship, all in a game where to be honest we werent expected to win anyways.

Most of us are upset that we were in a game we werent expected to be in, and threw it away. It seems more of us are annoyed that we lost after Robbie was taken off rather than the opportunities squandered when he was on. Goes to show how little people pay attention to the obvious details.

On farahs benching, its that baffling you'd think the media will be looking for answers too, so hopefully we get an insight into why sometime next week

Did anyone see the presser? would have been the hot topic. Was he trying to be cute and pull off a coaching masterstroke? backfired miserably if he was

 

[innsaneink]

Wasnt asked about it here…..but said at 0-14 it was probably too much for us on the night.

All that saved Manly was the Tigers were hardly stellar themselves, which only highlighted the unusual replacement of Farah shortly after five successive sets on Manly's line. Coach Mick Potter said he always had that move planned, but Farah admitted he wasn't happy about it.

"I don't like coming off," Farah said. "It's the coach's decision, but no one likes sitting on the bench."

Let's hope so. I'd like to hear the thinking behind it too. It was made to look worse by the fact the team let in so many points while he was off. My issue with it is that farah was controlling things so well at the time so the timing was poor IMO.
