Rd 10 - WestsTigers v Knights

[earl]

He’s taking the urine with Stefano. I thought last week was his best game so far this year. Just powers through the line. And he’s gone. What in science’s name does he see in Seyfarth ?

Not the only one.
Stefano has been good all year, consistent and high work rate. Seyfarth over him is a nut job selection.

I really like Stefano. He'd be one of the first props picked to me. I'm starting to like Seyfarth. He gets smashed sometimes but he is big, mobile, he can pass the ball plus he works really hard.

I don't see it as Seyfarth over Stefano but Tamou and Twal over Stefano. Stefano deserves his spot ahead of both of those guys.

I think Stefano is probably our best front rower. Dropping him is dumb

I agree. The coach has put himself into a spot though because our starting middles are meant to be our leaders and they are struggling. I reckon it's obvious that Tamou is struggling the most out of all our middle forwards and he is our captain.

Now the coach is tanking lmao

He's chucking a Moses. Pay me out, let me leave or I will keep losing games for you.

Yep that's what I'm thinking.

Guy has lost the plot. Must want a pay out

Has to be something...bite my tongue no longer...this is a nothing team as named...and by nothing I mean ..it doesn't increase the likelihood of winning...may as well kept the same team that played like superstars for 25 mins last week...

It also doesn't invest in the future..Utiokamanu should be playing as when he is on the field he can actually play '21 Rugbeh League..he is massive off the ball and on when he is there...I would even be increasing his mins..

Madden on the bench is not his future or ours ..so start him or you're just saying ..yeah we like you but don't get your hopes up..

Nofoaluma..this bloke is annoying me the most because he is one of our few NRL standard players and despite other peoples opinion's of Nofa ..when he plays from the kick off in the 2nd half for even 60 65mins ..we would be winning games..His NRL quality is quailty but we are only seeing it for 40mins...

I could go on..but it's more nothing but launch the hands in the air

Yep.

Demotes our best player out of a play making times.

Drops the guys we are building the club around like Simpkin and Stefano but continues to reward the senior playing group who have given up on him and haven't put in.

It's a real joke.

Let's end it.

Especially ...but... for all the rhetoric..Brooks Doueihi and Laurie WHERE..starting to develop combinations ..so lets throw that out the window with Moses Mbye..it's not seriously trying to win..I don't know what it is

It's the club bending over backwards for Brooks, they still think he might actually come good.

It's nothing like that at all and deep down you know it....Brooks is not a target here..Brooks has been doing what the Coach wants and asks...you might have a different opinion that's fine.....

Giving him every opportunity. If he doesn’t he’ll be shopped. Titans I believe are interested.

Why does he deserve opportunity? He's been awful for a year and a half. He deserves to be DROPPED and Doueihi doesn't deserve to be moved from his best position just to try make Brooks come good.

So Mbye coming out and saying the switch up is to try help brooks just went over your head then? It's 100% about Brooks.

 

[WeststigsRdaBest]

I am a brooks fan boi but it’s time he spend some time in Reggie’s to work on gaining his confidence back...doueihi back in the halves for me with Mbye centre and madden 7...Simpkin bench anything else is stupid imho

It's the only reason that's been given so far ??‍♂️

 

[JC99]

Also I like how Mbye said it's to add experience to the side - Brooks has played 13 more games in his career than Mbye. Brooks is one of our most experienced players despite playing like a kid in his second year of first grade.

So Madge says .. kick into the legs of the defenders on the last ?

And tells him to stand in the line on the last so you can’t get a kick away ..
Yeah righto ?

Also tells him to dummy and step into forwards instead of trying to score points too ?

Brooks better have his best game of the year now, whole reason we changed the team

**“I’ll be out there to complement Luke [Brooks]. I need to give him space and time to let him do what he does best,” he said.
“He can be on the ball a bit more. We’re confident it’s going to work.”**

Game over for me...t**hat is absolutely ludicrous.** I was prepared to believe Madge moved AD to cover our weakness at center...but Mbye says it is so Brooks can be on the ball more.

Madge has to go.

 

[tony soprano]

Love the fans defending a 2 and 9 team. So much faith


2-7 actually

Lol my maths

Brooks has to go if he needs Mbye to bring the best out of him.

 

[tony soprano]

Bizarre interview I must say

 

[Demps]

LOL

Brooks has been babied his whole career by this club.

We should have kept Mitchell Moses.

Moses was not ours to keep. He was going to the Eels and not much could be done about it. He dogged it until he got his way.

Ivan didn't handle the situation well.
Made Moses feel unwanted and he left.

If we backed him and released Brooks it'd be different today.

Don’t think so. Held out until he got to his preferred club. It wasn’t a choice of Brooks vs Mosses. We wanted to keep both but Mosses had other plans.
