Nathan Milone

[Tigermama]

Brace yourselves I think he will get selected again next week!

Oh dear…Another loss then... :astonished:

 

[Tigermama]

The only off load I can remember is the one from Sironen to our centre who muffed it. Has the off load been coached out of this team?

The only time we looked dangerous was when Moses threw some lovely balls to put the Kevin outside of his opponent. Unfortunately Kev had an unfortunate game.

Farah had an offload which really worked well for us

I think with our poor ball handling and security the players may have been asked not to throw it around.

Correy Parker is the offload king, there is a lesson the learn from him But you do need people in support before you can throw the ball in a tackle

Sadly we are not good at it

The Sharkies are. Their offloads are winning them games.

 

[Tigermama]

Simply shocking. I'm lost for words.

That's because we're not allowed to swear. :mrgreen:

 

[Fade_To_Black]

It is not Milone's fault, he is ordinary no doubt and should never be selected again, blame the idiot coach who picks him and some other nuffies, he is the one giving us no chance to win.

Absolutely. If someone gives a blind man a chainsaw and asks him to chop down a tree but he cuts his leg off instead do you blame the blind man or the moron who put him in that situation in the first place?
Having said that, the lack of effort and commitment that Pat Milone showed in getting back to attempt to stop the Knights 1st try was bloody pathetic…..if you don't wanna put in for our club then rack off.

I am sure this has been coached out of the forwards. Imagine our halves playing off the back of this style of play. We need an injection of youth into the forwards now the season is all but over.

 

[foreveratiger]

happy…..any chance of Milone still being a Steve Renouf clone? :wink: :laughing:

The guy is appalling don't blame him, blame the bloke that selected him :bash, you know you have a crap squad when a bloke like Milone replaces Simona.

 

[Milky]

I thought Rankin was worse, his positioning and defence is shocking.

Rankin missed the tackle on Uate and was out of position for a few passes

 

[Newtown]

I wonder what will be the reaction if on Tuesday Milone is again selected in the firsts run on team by our esteemed coach?

 

[Doc_Tiger]

I thought Rankin was reasonable. Stopping Uate is hard at best of times. Stopping him close to the line, one on one must be a nightmare.

Milone - showed nothing as expected.

 

[yeti]

Well, at least Taylor will suffer the consequences down the track for his selections. If we are propping up the table after half the season, hopefully he'll be put on the bus and we can engage another coach - again. We all know there are salary cap pressures etc etc, but the idiocy of giving this guy a top 25 spot in the first place is the problem.

 

[jctiger]

At least we will know then that Taylor's intentions are only to be a short term coach.

So hopefully Millne gets picked !

Fair enough, i just thought that Rankin bombed a few

 

[tsjonathan]

I dont see why he wouldn't be picked again…especially when the other centre was just as bad if not worse.

 

[Pokies]

If you think yesterday was bad - remember he was only marking up against the Jaelen Feeney who is probably the closest thing possible going around in the NRL to Milone.

If he gets picked the next 2 games whilst Simona is out he's facing- Will Chambers then Joey Leilua. Both of those guys should be a much tougher assignment than Feeney.

 

[balmain boy]

He was off contract at the end of last season. He was asked to train and trial for a contract, along with a few others. Why is he still so high up on the pecking order?

Heleta, Peni or Chee Kam have to start next week. Milone needs time to develop in Ron Massey. Every player needs to earn their spot in first grade and he hasn't. Nothing against him personally, he shouldn't be selected. I don't care who he's friends with. If there's not level playing field for selections we'll see a bunch of our talented fringe players leave for the opportunity they thought they'd get.

Hence Marion Seve leaving…

One can only hope we put the blind chainsaw guy in the side next week ahead of Milone.

Yeah, unlike Milone they'll probably try to steer well clear of him - this guy could do some serious damage out wide..!

 

[underdog]

SO just to clarify - you would drop FroZone….

That centre who played 24 games for us last year, who just cracked 50 games in First grade, and who has scored 4 tries in the first 6 games of the year this season, who consistently punches above his weight for dirty hitups, tackle busts, and throws himself at edge runners in defense with zero regard for his own body?

You mean that guy?
