This issue is that we should be happy bc we weren’t faves

The issue is that we have had the same problems all year

Can’t score when I’m attacking zones

It hasn’t gotten better unless it’s super grind of a game

We created one or two chances today

But I don’t think it would’ve mattered who we played

We can’t score

I don’t know why they don’t play Laurie off the bench as a 14 … if API was on for the whole game when we had good possession in attacking zones maybe we score then too

At least Laurie is a threat

He’s our poor man’s Cody walker

Wakeham and brooks are too similar

Remember when they tried Laurie at 14?
He came on when the game was lost and looked ridiculous.

Few comments around Laurie tonight.... he's done at the Tigers.

We have a good pack but when Klemm and Steph go off we lose punch up the middle
Joffa is weak makes no meters and gets put on his backside at best where he started
Twal is good and Bateman looks our most likely he's getting better each week
Also concerned that we use a bench spot on Simpkin who plays very few minutes
Api can't do 80 mins ? I seem to remember Farah going the full 80
Also how fit is Steph ? Surprised how few mins he does
Probably better Starting with Twal and Steph off bench

I really don't know any reason why you'd pick Joffa in an NRL team. He offers nothing.

We can't just reach the end of our sets and give it to Brooks against a prepared defence and ask "Have you turned into Andrew Johns yet?". No halfback on this planet would have been decisive for us against the Bunnies tonight. I mean, did any of Souths tries come from what their Halfback did on the 5th tackle? I don't think so.

Great post. Someone who actually watches the game and knows what he is talking about.
 
I know… I get it

But he’s a better 6 for us MAYBE

He would create more at least

I mean wakeham ain’t there long term unless they lose brooks next year and have wakeham as a cut price “similar brooks” and bring in someone better

There’s just no creativity

Nothing

No spark

They go through the motions and then twal takes a hit up on the 4th

Setup for the kick

Etc

My point is what do we have to lose ?

Maybe they’ll try it if we are out of contention

I think they still feel we’ve got a chance

I hear what you're saying....

I truly believe Sheens has no faith in Laurie whatsoever.

He came out and said AD is the best fullback at the club.
... we have Laurie, Staines and Bula.
Arguably all better fullbacks than AD.

That's a massive insult and slap in the face to Laurie.

Either way - he'll play out the year in NSW cup and not be offered a contract moving forward.

Proud of the effort
Disappointed in the game plan. 4 Hitups and a kick all day. Surely we can throw 1 backline move in a set at least

I thought we spread it early in tackle count on a regular basis. Brooks did a cutout at least 2 times (maybe 3 but can’t remember) out the back which created space. Both times were well executed. Talau could have straightened and passed one of those plays to create space for jnr but tried to get on the outside and took the tackle instead.
 
Its a fact we are a good defensive side
Souths last 5 weeks 5 tries vs Storm 6 tries vs Broncos 4 tries vs Penrith
6 tries vs Dolphins 9 tries vs Bulldogs
And 3 against us ( only 1 for 74 mins )
Penrith 1 try vs Tigers 9 tries vs Roosters last night
BUT ITS ALSO A FACT OUR ATTACK IS DISMAL as bad as it gets
Tim ,Benji , Robbie do something !!

It's hard without halves. It forces us to play very basic game which we're executing pretty well.

Daine Laurey on the field at the end of the game basically on his knees for latrell. He really doesn’t wanna put on a tigers jersey for first grade again does he

I went off in my lounge room watching him gush over Latrell. So clear he’s here for a pay check and the loss means nothing to him at all. It seems pretty common though in this day and age that kind of joking around with the opposition after a loss.

He's one of those blokes that only plays to get a contract to feed his family. He needs to be on a year to year to have a go.

I was in favour of letting him go...

A few defended him & claimed he was our best....

Maybe so but he cannot compare to the other guys in the pack.
I'd argue Seyfarth offers more.
