Robbie has to play

[Tuiaki_Chicken_Wings]

Robbie has to be in the top team? The top team demonstrated otherwise tonight.

Second half we sucked. Lost all direction and when Rankin goes into DH it forces simona out to wing and lovett to the centres. Off the bench robbie gives us direction and steady head. Really poor that in first grade we see Lovett in the centres and a winger playing no9.

JT is just taking the piss out of us supporters , his team selections … Especially his pet shop boy Rankin .
When we all know there's better players sitting in the stands .

Dont get me started on the positional change domino for i dont want to be judged too critical .

We have had this long discussion in the past on how we shouldnt weaken other positions because of 1..
Ya all remember that ?

When Robbie was made to play 1/2
When Morris played 1/2, hooker and everything in between

We are seeing similar days with players not in their preferred roles.

I would have been out with the biggest "Sack Taylor"' sign if Lovett had leaked points tonight..
Thank God, crisis averted

Same Robbie Farah gets to play next Sunday and gets MOTM, steers us to a big victory

What will the critics say then ??

You know what, i rather not hear it
My bet is it will still be negative

Playing Rob off the bench would benefit the team and unite the fans at LO for a huge day against a team that is clearly better than us. It won't happen as it would further add fuel to the fire if we won the game.

That said we need a hooker replacing Dene and Cherro won't hit the salary cap otherwise I would play Liddle. I think Lovett and Rankin should be in NSW cup and we need to bring in JAC and Cherro.
The other 2 that are impressive are Rod Griffin and JJ Felise.

 

[shane2801]

Brooks under an injury cloud.
Halatau offering nothing.
Rankin needed back on the wing.

Seriously, Robbie needs to be there! It's a no brainer.

No he doesn't and if you think Halatau is offering nothing then you are very hard to please.

i have a real man crush on Rod Griffin

If the fairy was going to grant one of my wishes i would ask for Griffo to get picked in NRL for at least ONE game this year

He has really worked hard, was impressive today and i'd really love to see his offloads in FGrade

He is good enough to be play internationals. Wont be out of place

Halatau is doing a fine job however, he needs a rest and we need another hooker as we looked like Newcastle when he went off. I don't think we can bring back Farah however we need a hooker off the bench.

Robbie should be there if we want to win. Halatau is great though. If we were playing moneyball then there is no way Robbie makes the team because Halatau offers pretty close to what Robbie offers.

This won't be popular but Ava, Sue and Grant aren't far off Woods as well.

Maybe im being too harsh but recently poor Timmy Grant hasnt been really able to make ground
He seems to have lost his leg drive and stops at moment of impact.
Hoping he gets his mojo back

Once again maybe i'm being too critical but i have seem him make a bigger impact that seems to be missing right now

Loving Big boy Ava though. Hard, aggressive and brings a lot of energy

I reckon Grant was great. I think Woods had the least impact out of all our props. I also thought ET wasn't that great.

Not suprised Grant didn't run through brick walls tonight, after the knock he took last week.I thought he should have been rested this week.
Woods plays a different role than Sue and Ava. Woods role seems to have changed a bit without Robbie there. He passes more.
Ava is solid as. Saw one Parra forward bounce off Ava's shoulder. Ava didn't showboat just got on to the next tackle, without reflection.

X2! Think the last few weeks have really shown that we do play better without him. I don't remember seeing Moses ever playing this good with Robbie there.

I reckon it might happen if he's fit and Brooks is out. We need to beat the Cows and Taylor could use the excuse that he's got one less play maker with Brooks out. It would really get the crowd into the game if he played and Taylor can't afford not to try and take an advantage like that.

Its a real good tale isnt it , AVA and Sue

Im really happy for both, goes to show what hard work and determination can lead to.

Even the commentators said they both were very underrated

 

[greatodensraven]

If there are no injuries then the only changed I'd like to see to the starting line-up is JAC in for Rankin.

As for the bench, Ava & Grant are givens. Then I'd like to see Liddle promoted again. Last bench spot is a tough one. Don't want to change a winning side but I'd like to see Griffin given a chance ahead of Edwards. We play our best attaching footy with plenty of offloads & 2nd phase play. With Liddle helping out at hooker I just think that Griffin would add more off the bench than Edwards. Lovett needs a spell.

 

[MissMeJen]

Robbie won't be in the team and who knows if he will be spiteful and play shit if given the opportunity?

He bags the club, hates the coach and apparently half the blokes in the team don't get on with him either (rumours)

What's stopping him 'being off his game' if he gets the spot?

It might unite some fans but I'm not sure it will unite the team….gee I wonder why benny Elias hasn't weighed in on this issue

Second half we sucked. Lost all direction and when Rankin goes into DH it forces simona out to wing and lovett to the centres. Off the bench robbie gives us direction and steady head. Really poor that in first grade we see Lovett in the centres and a winger playing no9.

Its funny how the JT fan club have called out Farah for every little thing for the last 10 years, yet wont call out Taylor for anything. How can we not have a recognised hooker on the bench, how is re shuffling half the side to put rankin at dummy half working, how is Lovett still playing centre, why are lovett and edwards in the team, why isnt sirro and griffin in there instead, why is rankin in the team, why isnt JAC in the team. Surely you can question him while still being a JT lover.

I don't know who you consider the JT fan club but most of the regular posters on here have at least a few complaints about team selection.

they do?? i havent seen it.

 

[Sco77y]

Don't know if true because I can't verify, but Fox reported after the Cowboys/Storm match tonight that Farah was present at the game today but walked out before it started.. Could have been a legit reason of course, but not the best look given recent history if true.. He probably won't be playing next week if that was another dummy spit!

 

[Regan]

If Robbie plays and the Tigers Lose they can hang the lost on his neck but if hes MOM more questions to be asked Fun Fun Fun

Hope he plays but its up to the coach
