Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Do you remember the night time Broncos game when Darren Lockyer and Tonie Carroll attacked him at centre for most of the night Sheena finally moved Bronson Harrison to defend against them but it was something like 5 try's scored running at Lawrence

Yep. He looked like he had no footy IQ in defence.

Most players don’t debut at such a young age at other clubs, so they give the illusion of walking in and belonging in first grade.

IMO this is why Tavana has looked okay since his debut despite not being particularly strong or fast. He’s 22 this year and 3 years older than Makasini.

I hear you on some of the various side points around development and guidance, but I'll make a simple comparison and people can decide where they sit.

At the same age of 18, is Makasini on par with where Joseph Suaalii was?

To me, one was good enough at 18 (I think Suaalii was 17 and had been playing in the first XV since 14 years old!) and one needs more development.

I hear you…
I’m not even sure he should be playing cup.

If he wasn’t getting paid a motza,
he probably wouldn’t be.

I don’t know if we have him there because he deserves it - or if we’re trying to make him a poster boy for the pathways at the club in hope we can keep a few more in the future…

He only got ‘better’ just before he got injured for mine…
Even in late 2009 he was ordinary, got better in 2010 and then was shot in 2011.

I think you're onto something there

Two last tackle
Penalties in a row. Man we’re so dumb.

Attack: what happens to our offloads? We had an average of 14 and now we don’t even do them? We need them to break down the opposing defence

Ps is this the knights game on replay?

If only, we are officially a joke!
Madden needs to go! Time for Latu to go through the motions - I don’t care if he does nothing but he needs to get game time. Madden is as slow as a wet week.
We don’t know how to offload anymore!

Latu could have played today but it’s the coach not playing him , why , who knows , should have been given the go today , what’s going on coach you know something we don’t ,

Or Javon. Yet somehow he came up with Madden
