Uto prop
Bateman second row
Ice second row
Pole lock
Blore
Twal
AJ or switch Douhei to bench or Douhei five eight and Brooks to benck n AJ centre
Offa

AD can't be in the team at 5/8. Centre maybe - he is a liability in defence and unless he is running he is a hinderance in attack.

when wakeham comes on its night and day. when wakeham passed the ball it like it stood still in the air for brooks to run to it and catch it. while brooks pass are often behind the reciever.

 

[Jolls]

134 metres. Average of 13 metre per run. 29 tackles. All in 44 minutes. Huge plodder.

Only thing with Twal is we have to get someone else trailing Api. It's always Twal who pushes up when Api runs.

He does what he is told and lacks drive - plodder 100%. Once we have others who can do the minutes he is nothing more than depth.

 

[Gazman]

Are we the only team that the the other 16 Clubs can bank on getting the two points. Every other club supporter watches their team with a view to expecting a win. We watch knowing a loss is a foregone conclusion and it’s only a miracle that we jag the odd win, which more often than not , is due to the opposition having an off day.

 

[Tucker]

Sheens basically said in the press conference that Doueihi will be fullback.

Jesus…really?
This is sabotage. Sheens is after revenge for his punting in 2012.
Got us 1 spoon already and trying hard for a second.

 

[LukeyTuiaki]

How soon can Bula play - is it round 10? Next week? Get him in, Sydney Kings season is over so he should be free (love that I hear he played basketball from every commentator every time he plays… new material please)

He has to find a place as a pod runner if he wants to keep playing. He destroys a lot of pods by not spacing properly or pushing up into pods that he isn’t a part of.

The Api short ball was a great example of not really knowing how to think about his role. He was in a good attacking formation position and missed the dummy read by running a decoy when he was going to be the primary receiver. He is another great example of a WT player with physicality who needs to add a cerebral aspect to his game to be a proficient first grader.

Such a shame that the great nursery of our combined areas have produced no better all these years. Says something about the mismanagement and lack of future planning. No idea what is going on.

9 times out of 10 Brook’s pass is behind the receiver - who has not stuffed his timing up.
Shocking ball playing skills for a 10 year veteran of first grade NRL.

Didn't outright say it but said we'll probably see him spend more time there next week.

 

[matchball]

It's clear our problems are in the 1-7 positions. The forwards are doing their job.

Good analysis,

I think he could be developed but needs to spend some time in cup to do so. No room in FG for L plates in his position.

 

[Odessa]

Just watched the press conference. When Sheens was asked about Noffa he didn’t want to comment on it. That could be the end of Noffa. Hopefully so!

Wonder if the Dragon's will still take him and bring Bula into the top 30

 

[clokan]

Douihe. Do the positives outweigh the negatives?

I didn't see any positives

I agree. He is a role player and needs that identified and stick to it.

He’s shit too buddy.
Might come good in a couple of years maybe.

That's bad news. Staines played well today with Bateman and a few others. I thought Tupou did well and would like to see him stay in the NRL.

The fact that Nofa got hooked and not Tupou may mean he may stay in the NRL over Nofa

 

[aturkey]

We looked more maligned with Brooks at 2nd receiver and Wakeham running the show

Bye bye doueihi 👋

Sheens said in the post match interview that doueihi may spend some time at fullback. Wow if he does this theyre all stupid

 

[clokan]

I have honestly never seen worse halves at passing. Brooks is the worst I’ve seen and Douehi is a close second.

Showing your stripes, Brooks has outplayed Douehi this year. He is a better player that Douehi. Though that's not saying much

 

[Tucker]

Didn't outright say it but said we'll probably see him spend more time there next week.

It’s outrageous. Adam played a 1/10 game today, was terrible last week and poor the first week. He is regressing as a player, meanwhile we have a replacement ready to go. Staines was fine today, without being great. Why move him on already?
Sheens is a fool.
