OFFICIAL Oliver Gildart

[Terry T.Nuts]

Oh come on, really. Replace him with who, Roberts. On that I say yes, and the back up to Roberts and his bung legs.
How can we build depth if we don't BUILD.
People were saying that about Peachey too. "He's no good, get rid of him" before he's had a chance to settle abd get used to players and the system. Against Manly he was put on early and played good, should have had 2 tries but 1 denied, and racked up 60 SC pts.
Are you telling me Gildart hasn't improved.
He had more SC points than any other back with 85, To'a 84. Only Offa had more with 94. The rest if the team were around 50 or less.
He and Garner ran the most, over 100.
The coach said at the start of the year he will be a work in progress and in my opinion he is improving.
He has faults, blind freddy can see that but I can see talent that is untapped.
Or we do what we have always done, let more players go and start again, and again...

Has not improved he let the Manly players run outside and around him at will. He is one of the worst backs in the NRL period. An utter disgrace and like I have said previously he will cost us games with his pathetic lack of defence.

Fair enough, you are just focusing on errors, the whole team is not faultless, he's not a total cluster or as you stated "a total disgrace" goodness me thats harsh.
He has done some good stuff and is improving.
Agree to disagree.

Yep. Gildart played in the dart as a centre and I think thats his position, he certainly isn't a speedster.
Brooks is quick, what about the full length of the field try against Souths [I think it was Souths]
Garner is probably the quickest. 🤣🤣
I wish he wasn't leaving.
At this rate we'll have no depth...and people want to get rid if players 🤔

Did Garner’s form seem to improve a lot after his move to Panthers was made public?

I think so, also I think he's relishing the change.
As they say, "a change is as good as a holiday"
He was injured at start of the year so I think he's starting to feel in top condition.
That reminds me, I must send him that email about his late dad.

Been saying it from the first game, not NRL standard. Give young Tupou a go on the wing next to Kepoa, watched KAO Cup and he has talent and a big body.

I’m not fussed about SC points. I watch the games rather than look at the stats.

He gets thrown into touch regularly and cannot make his tackles which costs us tries every week. That is why he’s a liability.

Agree to disagree.

He's done some good stuff - And some outright horrid stuff...
He's played for his country, He shouldn't be dropping the ball for no reason - Running around lost in defence... And surely he's got something more than a left foot step?

He got wrong footed by a bloke who was held by another defender on the weekend...
It's almost like he's running away from contact on purpose.

I also watched it again this morning and I'm the same, SC is a guide and he was not as bad as you say. I think 'you need to watch it again and look at the circumstances that led to problems on his side. Kepaoa was more of an issue in that game that gildart.
So what were your suggestions as far as selections go for that game anyway?

Which incident are you talking about being wrong footed. I want to have a look while I've paused it

Have you got Foxtel, text me the game clock times of these incidents so i can go back and check whats the basis of his so called 80min of crap football.

The Try Brook had put on him...
He'd come in past the play (Not sure how that happens on our line) and had to turn back to still miss contact.
I didn't watch it again - That's how I saw it when it happened...

Interested to hear other thoughts on it.

 

[Terry T.Nuts]

Gildart is scared to tackle and looks about 59kg soaking wet. He should not be anywhere near our first grade team, I would rather have Ronnie Palmer at Centre/wing.

I agree Cobar. He's already bagged a couple of tries (I'm including one that was unfairly taken off him). He needs to work on defence, and he will adjust to this over time, but at the moment he is a bit of an easy scapegoat.

We were shot, they either scored inside or outside… yes, should always force to the outside as it’s harder to dot down. He had one of his customary lapses but as @Cobarcats stated, he’s definitely improving.

 

[jadtiger]

The new Fitzhenry.

Fitzhenry was Reg Gasnier compared to this bloke and i never thought much of Fitzhenry

Good stuff, is there anything else you want me to check that your basing the whole game on as a failure and he won't improve? That sounds nasty no matter how I say it hey 👍. I'd rather not go back and forwards checking. My original posts are saying that this guy is improving, scored a nice try and does some good stuff. As the other member said to he's shite and not improving, is what I'm trying to resolve.

Mate if you just watched that can you give me a gane clock time please

Mate, You can pick any moment he's on the field for us...
I also saw him get a bath in Reserve Grade.
My opinion is based on the rubbish he's dished up for weeks now.
If he's improving - I can count on one hand the people who can think it.
(including him, And both his parents)
I would suggest moreso the team is improving, And he's benefitting from that....

I still see him get monstered in attack, Clueless in defence and taking poor options when he has the ball... Running himself out of room, His Hail Mary plays...
I get physically ill with Anxiety watching him...

Fitzhenry could tackle and scored a grand final try. These are things Gildart will never do in the NRL.
