OFFICIAL Starford To’a #253

[Tom Shines]

I wouldn't count on that.

Won't be surprised to see him selected on Tuesday afternoon.

I would suggest that is the likely outcome

 

[Bellend]

The scariest fact he made his debut in 2019 has he got any better??

When he came back through Koe cup he looked disinterested and weeks later nothing has changed.

 

[jstigers]

he needs to be medically retired or dropped, we really need to invest in another gun centre/winger. Turuva and May are 1st graders, Luke is going next year he is a good fill in for this year and we have skelton which can fill in but we dont really have any gun centres to replace Toa, Makasini is too young and raw; he hasn't impressed more just been a fill in. Tavana just proved that he is too young and inconsistent; he needs at least a year in cup. Herbet is really our only option but he is a fill in, defintely need to find someone

 

[tig_prmz]

I'm confused whether it was bad reads, bad spacing or he put himself in that position to avoid direct contact.

Definitely the second worst player out there but in the last 30 minutes, our forwards got so dominated that they had 20m of space with 3 players defending and Sharks running on to each ball with pace.

I don't think even Herbie could have done much.

 

[426Tlgerland]

He has 3 years left on his contract.

This can’t be correct , who gave him that much , geezus he won’t even make 2 or 3 more years at any club he is shot

 

[Demps]

Yep and his reserve grade form didn't justify a start in FG, but I guess we don't have other options.

This contract is a problem.
He doesn't even serve as a decent depth option.

 

[426Tlgerland]

He dodged contact all day , should be punished , Ryde Eastwood team for the rest of year and also a letter of you can move on if you like we will,pay 1/2 your wages to boot off for the next 18 months

 

[Tito Santana]

Except contracted long term

Milone had 1 year or so

Nofoaluma 2.0

 

[Buttface]

Just let him go eh...

Hes AJ Kepoa 2.0

Old Flippers, which park does he play in these days.
And the whole time he couldn’t bloody see. Talk about sharking us.

I have memorised the last two lines of the eye chart for the drivers license test.

Did you like the pun? Or is it still to early?

 

[Buttface]

They can have Hope with him as well.

Nah there’s no hope for Star.

 

[Tigerwould]

from the games Makasini played this year I thought he looked better at centre than wing. I go May and Makasini in the centres.

 

[Buttface]

get rid of him and bring in Isaac Tago

It’s hard to understand why Herbs got dropped for a bloke coming back off injury who played shite in his first Reggies games back.

 

[Tom Shines]

Makasini..Herbert.,Toa … if you are being honesf …it’s hard to have a lot of confidence in any of them ..they have been patchy at best this season ,,,Herbert’s club debut aside …I’d probably take him out of the three

Maybe England....swap deal?

 

[Moh]

Really annoys me Star. He's got all the ability, just doesn't seem to put it together.

Given such an opportunity to keep his spot and doesn't deliver.

One absolute cracker of a game for many, many bad ones.

He's somehow in the senior player group too, lol.

Yeah the senior player group part has me very stunned. The guy is not an example that you want younger guys to follow, zero effort from him.

 

[magpies forever]

I would suggest his shoulder injury is playing up again. Doubt we can get medical retirement or such, but if it is playing up again we should approach NRL and players union for what can be done. Any club should not have their roster hampered by a persisent injury plagued player. The brains trust should look to how this situation can be resolved. I know due diligence and WT resigned him knowing his health but it has not improved.

flippers is now a second rower at the knights in KOE.

Toa - he had a chronic injury issue that apparently had not been corrected and affects his ability and confidence .. it’s about as smart a recruitment decision as Olam

Makasini - he was terrible in his last game ..I would like to see him have a game in the Reggie’s and get some confidence before putting him back up … go with Herbert or Skelton instead

Both fair points. I think with Toa’s injury, it might have been seen as a reason for his poor end of year form. That’s the way I saw it

I guess it’s hard to argue the signing was a bad move for the club.

Disagree with Makasini given we need his class. I think fully fit he’s in our top squad every week and with our other injuries we don’t have the luxury of bringing him back through cup.

His only issue is heart, he has been crap since day one. He had one good game against the cowboys years ago and since then has been poo, cannot defend to save himself. If he plays the next two weeks we are cooked.
