OK serious expectations for tomorrow?

[NT_Tiger]

We're pretty much ground zero. Cleary is the guy coming in to clear the rubble. The first thing you do when clearing the rubble is search for survivors. I think there's only 4 or 5 survivors at best buried in our rubble. Are those survivors willing to be saved. That's the question.

Good analogy.

Though at the moment if "survivor" = "first grade footballer" I can't see much past Tedesco and Woods. Elijah Taylor maybe. Idris oddly looked liked he might be worth persevering with yesterday, though in any decent side he should be getting fit in reggies till round 10 (in any decent side he wouldn't have come out of pre-season unfit but that ship has sailed).

And that's about it.

Nofoaluma?

 

[GNR4LIFE]

I'm more concerned about what he does off the field. I'd love to be a fly on the wall when he sits down with Tedesco.

Yeh, that will be interesting, not much that he can say except "the rest of your team mates suck and I'll promise I'll replace the lot, and you have free access to the canteen whenever you want"

That's all he can say. This isn't about money for Tedesco, he wants quite deservedly a team that's stable and competitve.

 

[ryanda01]

I think first things first; as a forum we need to stop referring to The Big 4 as The Big 4\. Then agree with GNR; revive the survivors, bury the deceased and recruit more idiots for the asylum.

Fix his defence or go

Nofoaluma?

Yeah probably. Though if he's shipping three tries a week down his wing I don't care how many tackles he breaks.

Agree on Idris. Slow to start but started denting the line later on in the game. Still looks short of a gallop but put in a better effort than in previous games.

I'd keep Grant on reasonable contract. He and Ava were the only forwards who looked like they ran with any gusto yesterday.

Unfair on Nofo there. Is he meant to just stand on the sideline and allow the overlap inside him? Put a half and a centre there who are even only average defenders and he won't have to stand with two men outside him.

 

[Trisdar]

Free access to canteen that's got to be a selling point. Seriously Cleary sits down with Teddy and says you've been carrying this team for a while this is my plan, these are the guys I've got coming these are the guys I'm looking at, these are the guys I really want here to help you. What are your thoughts. Who would you like to see at this club.

 

[Newtown]

Bring Suli in to centre or whilst Brooks is injured try his at five eight with Moses halfback. Bring in Heleta at either centre or wing to replace Naqauima.

Bring in Felise and Liddle to replace Lawrence and Ballin. Give Lawrence one more chance off the bench or bring in Bayly Sironen to replace him.

Suli at five eight or centre with Moses at half would do the trick.

 

[TIGER]

I just want to see some hard running, hard tackling and more importantly some ticker and pride in the jumper.

That's all.

 

[nrlcountrytiger]

What can he do other than shuffle the deck chairs?
Im personally wondering if all the media chatter about (The Big Four) is acting to relatively devalue the other players and cause a rift in the ranks.
The other thing I'm wondering is that due to our player limitations, we have been playing to structures that minimise those limitations and other teams have had all last season to read what we're going to do.
Cleary can hopefully change things up in attack at least. I don't hold much hope that he can work a miracle in defence.

This is Phil Goulds doing he has hyped up the media to keep the media away from the Panthers…..
Walezniac us one of the big up and comers he could even be full back for someone yet there was no hype on him and there's no hype on the good forwards he has to yet he goes on like everyone wants Woods then buys Tamou....
Its very obvious to me coming from Marketing this is a daily ploy buy anyone in the industry

 

[supercoach]

Like the Storm we tend to be very competitive against the Cows, and thats because they don't try and smash you into the ground. They beat teams through their attack. Very hard to see us winning, but I so not think it will be a blow out on the other hand it will not be close. We have to many players who are way out of their depth to force a upset

It sure is. Any dumbbell knows that if your inside men go infield, the winger has to follow them. With Kevin N and Moses inside him, what chance has he got?
