LIVE GAME Round 27 v Panthers

[GNR4LIFE]

Give it to may to kill the play

Give him a break. He’s got stats to pad.

Give it to may to kill the play

Would love the stats on who has been tackled the most on the 5th this year. Would have to be T May.

 

[stephen]

No they havn't, but Herbert hasnt been good all year apart from the Newcastle game.

Its the clubs fault, a guy who hasnt played footy for 2-3 years had no right to walk into a NRL team set up. Wouldn't happen at 90% of clubs. You have some decent players like Sloan, McInness etc who cant get an NRL deal and have to go to the UK, yet we hand out deals to tradies and throw them in the NRL within weeks.

Ok. Who do you put there to replace him?

 

[Demps]

That was a nice Panther tat on his back

Shoulda got it on his face

 

[Tom Shines]

Bula … Almost broke through

 

[innsaneink]

Jesus christ may in the backline all year has stunted any attack weve had time after time and benji hasnt done a frikkin thing about it...thats negligent

 

[liltiger]

Wish Benji shifted Luai to the bench when he signed with P.N.G and we ran with Latu at 6.

 

[Tucker]

I don't think we're as bad as some of the doomsday preppers think.

A few of our best players this year are;
KPP, Twal, Taylan, Royce and despite your feelings... AD.

Currently all injured.

Throw those 5 in the team + Averillo & Brails.
Hopefully a few more heavy hitters and we aint looking that bad.

On paper, on par with teams like NQ and South's, who made the 8.

There’s plenty of individual talent there and that’s why I thought we’d sneak into the 8 this year.
However they aren’t coached well and they don’t play as a team. They also give up at times.
I have very little faith they’ll do better than this next year. Not without some more grunt up front and someone teaching them how to tackle,

 

[simonsatiger]

MAdden with another brilliant kick

 

[Demps]

Prince Latu is the way forward.

 

[innsaneink]

Bula … Almost broke through

Woulda been his first since april

 

[Mighty Mouse]

I feel May really needs a strong directive about his role in the team because he really stifles the attack and doesn’t do any hard carries

 

[Tim Sheens]

Bula needs to straighten the attack with his runs.

Hopefully some changes in the coaching staff.

Honestly, some one like Dale Finucane would be immense for us.

 

[Canadian Club]

We should have had someone else in that contract position at the start of the year. Herbert should have had spent a whole year in Massey/Cup working his way back and earning an NRL opportunity.

And a new coach. Just a thought.

 

[Tom Shines]

They played a bit better in the second half … saved a total embarrassment of a score line

Thankfully this season is over

 

[Coastie_Tiger]

I would have liked to seen Latu do some more kicking in general play especially in the opposition 20m zone.
Jock's kicking is only average imo.

 

[Canadian Club]

Bula … Almost broke through

You can tell hes not 100%, hes not accelerating into the line like he usually does.

He should have been sent for surgery weeks ago.

 

[Tucker]

Bula … Almost broke through

That should be his new nickname - almost.
It describes every part of his game.
