LIVE GAME Round 17 vs. Roosters

[AmericanHistoryX]

Hopefully the club let's Fainu see out the year in reserve grade to work on his halfback craft, and get his body right at that level of footy. He's just had an inconsistent year because of his body it seems. i don't see what bringing him in as a 14 for 20 minutes a match achieves.

See out the year. On the sidelines at this stage.

Our best attacking halve by quite some distance is Jayden Sullivan, but we don’t want him as we don’t have coaches good enough to fix his lack of effort plays defensively.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Yes But he haven't seen much of Fainu. And concur on the latter sentence.

Wests Tigers skipper avoids charge for lifting tackle​

So he was sin binned incorrectly which was their goal. Make sure Roosters win. Douhie as well. All not guilty. But. Our goal.was accomplished. We rubbed Wests Tigers out of the game. Big business wins.

Not that the sinbins had any material impact on the result, but Trent Robinson has echoed most Tigers supporters in saying they were undeserved: https://www.smh.com.au/sport/nrl/nr...igers-at-allianz-stadium-20240630-p5jpv6.html.

I like Robbo but he's not being magnanimous, rather he's trying to engender a more relaxed stance on foul play which will suit his side's aggressive style.

It's not a conspiracy, just incompetence and inconsistency which are the NRL's stock in trade.

So what do you prefer? Inconsistency and incompetence or conspiracy?

We need Benji to get angry and rip into the constant crap calls we keep getting when doing his post game press conference.
The club should be telling him, don’t hold back they will pay a fine to get some attention to it.

So in other words was never a sinbinning. The referees strike again.

Or. The fans will stop paying money in a time of financial hardship. I have to think about my children. Not just yours.

How many years have we said it.

2 many but only now is it actually true

For the Roosters as well.

Was Naden hooked or injured
Missed any info around that.

Either way, he's one player that needs to be shown the door.

He is not playing with any confidence or commitment,, arm grabbing and backing up in defence, even with the ball he looks scared.. 😦 I don’t know what the problem is but he is definitely not playing to the standards he has in the past… it’s strange because he is in the sweet spot of his career age wise… very odd ,, really strange

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Naden doesn't have the power of picking himself.

The dude had one good year at Penrith and that was many moons ago.

 

[TigerNeddyK]

I’d say hooked, he ran around like a rabbit in the headlights.

You got this one right , Hal.. spot on mate 👍

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Thank God for that. Lucky Hal is picking the team.

 

[TigerNeddyK]

Lack of speed and lack of height and size is a concern which I’ve stated previously.
But he could very well fill out and end up with a similar physique to what To’o has and considering To’o is not real quick himself.
I would rather a Dominic Young clone, but where do you find one of them ?

He has a better footy brain than young, he is a smart player, and will only get stronger and faster,,, kid has a big future,, tough as well
