Starting team 2021

[AdelaideTiger]

With Benji gone Garner should move to the left with brooks again. Brooks gives him those nice short balls and kinda helps him in defence too

Doueihi and Luciano would be a good combo on the right. Sometimes Luc just needed earlier ball more often and I think AD will give that to him. The only issue might be his defence alongside his brother but Garner didn’t exactly defend well there either

I don't think Luc is that bad a defender, he was just made to do too much work last year and it really showed late in the season when we had nothing to play for. He was v strong in the close games against para and penrith. I agree Garner looks good next to brooks, Blore will look even better.

 

[JC99]

Brooks and Garner next to each other in defence doesn't seem like it'd be Garner being the one doing the helping haha. Garner gets caught flat footed in defence a hell of a lot.

That’s what I meant haha bad wording on my part

 

[avocadoontoast]

I personally wouldn't lock in AD at 6 yet. Reynolds was actually quite good in the 2 games that he started for us this year
I expect a very experienced squad for the first half the of the year. Remember that people like Stefano wouldn't have played a game for over a year and a half. I expect the younger ones to start with NSW Cup.

1. AD
2. Momirovski
3. Mbye
4. Roberts
5. Noffa
6. JR
7. Brooks
8. Tamou
9. Liddle
10. Packer
11. LL
12. Garner
13. Twal

14. Musgrove
15. BJ
16. MCK
17. Mikaele

Obviously if Joe O signs or whoever replaces Aloiai would kick off Mikaele or Packer.

Talau, Kepaoa would be the next in line if anyone in the 1-5 goes down

Seyfarth, Blore, Stefano would be next in line for the forwards

Just my opinion - terrible team.

fair fair

I just feel we need to start strong. An experienced team will help us achieve wins whereas the inexperienced team or those who have played less than half a dozen games in over a year and a half will need to be developed via NSP Cup.

A team of Packer/Reynolds/Mbye is more likely to get you wins in the first month than a team of Stefano/Blore/Seyfarth as they will be making a lot of mistakes. They need to make those mistakes in NSW Cup first.

Packer and Reynolds should be nowhere near first grade

I understand a feeling of angst for Packer but I feel Reynolds has never shied away from work. His issue has been that he's had too many injuries with us.

I still have hope that they can provide us with something in their last year. They are both seasoned first graders literally playing to save their careers. They know they'll be lucky to get even a quarter of their salary next year even with a half decent season.

I also don't want Reynolds in No.14. He has the worst dummy half passing I've ever seen in my life. He's either 5/8 or not in the team.

I have no issues with his effort, I just don’t think he’s a good player.

Reynolds was available for selection for most of last year and Madge chose a slow old man who cant tackle ahead of him.

IMO Reynolds issue is he just isnt a very good player and with so long out of the game, especially at his age. He is not getting any better. He has never had high levels of skill and has a game based on "effort" but as your legs get older, this is less prominent.

You and I also dont know his attitude at training.

**The problem is Reynolds just isn't up to it.** He looks completely shot. Packer had a couple of great decoy runs. Packer if he is on may be a decent bench prop for a couple of games this season.

Surely no coach would have either of those guys in their top team plans for next season. Fair enough if there are injuries but you have to pick the team on form. On form those guys aren't anywhere near our top team.

I gotta disagree. I could be wrong but Reynolds started in 3-4 games with us and in 2 of those games he was close to MoM. Off the bench, I find him useless but I still think he is our best 5/8. AD has better bombs and long pass but long kicking, short kicking and short passing game, Reynolds is better.

More than entitled to your opinion, but it would seem that Madge does not share it. Im with Madge.

With the game being faster, effort is more important than ever now. Reynolds continuously puts himself in the frame and is there for support. Also, he's a 200 game Origin player. But you're right, we don't know how he is at training. I don't think Reynolds has let us down whenever he's played at 5/8.

Benji's attack was extraordinary last year, but defence was worse than ever too!

AD showed more in 55 minutes against Parramatta than Reynolds has in 3 years. His passing game is awful, his running game isn't any better and his defence isn't too crash hot either.

Take his last 6 games. 350 minutes of football. 0 try assists, 0 line breaks, 2 forced drop outs, 95 tackles, 20 missed.

He kicked a Souff's guy in the head..

 

[Russell]

I personally wouldn't lock in AD at 6 yet. Reynolds was actually quite good in the 2 games that he started for us this year
I expect a very experienced squad for the first half the of the year. Remember that people like Stefano wouldn't have played a game for over a year and a half. I expect the younger ones to start with NSW Cup.

1. AD
2. Momirovski
3. Mbye
4. Roberts
5. Noffa
6. JR
7. Brooks
8. Tamou
9. Liddle
10. Packer
11. LL
12. Garner
13. Twal

14. Musgrove
15. BJ
16. MCK
17. Mikaele

Obviously if Joe O signs or whoever replaces Aloiai would kick off Mikaele or Packer.

Talau, Kepaoa would be the next in line if anyone in the 1-5 goes down

Seyfarth, Blore, Stefano would be next in line for the forwards

Just my opinion - terrible team.

fair fair

I just feel we need to start strong. An experienced team will help us achieve wins whereas the inexperienced team or those who have played less than half a dozen games in over a year and a half will need to be developed via NSP Cup.

A team of Packer/Reynolds/Mbye is more likely to get you wins in the first month than a team of Stefano/Blore/Seyfarth as they will be making a lot of mistakes. They need to make those mistakes in NSW Cup first.

Packer and Reynolds should be nowhere near first grade

I understand a feeling of angst for Packer but I feel Reynolds has never shied away from work. His issue has been that he's had too many injuries with us.

I still have hope that they can provide us with something in their last year. They are both seasoned first graders literally playing to save their careers. They know they'll be lucky to get even a quarter of their salary next year even with a half decent season.

I also don't want Reynolds in No.14. He has the worst dummy half passing I've ever seen in my life. He's either 5/8 or not in the team.

**The problem is Reynolds just isn't up to it.** He looks completely shot. Packer had a couple of great decoy runs. Packer if he is on may be a decent bench prop for a couple of games this season.

Surely no coach would have either of those guys in their top team plans for next season. Fair enough if there are injuries but you have to pick the team on form. On form those guys aren't anywhere near our top team.

I gotta disagree. I could be wrong but Reynolds started in 3-4 games with us and in 2 of those games he was close to MoM. Off the bench, I find him useless but I still think he is our best 5/8. AD has better bombs and long pass but long kicking, short kicking and short passing game, Reynolds is better.

I think AD is better than Reynolds in every single measurable way.

AD can come up with 1 or 2 big plays but Reynolds constantly threatens the line, kicks and chases. He's always putting the other team under pressure. ***And more importantly, he's done it week in week out*** before. I'm not sure how many constant games AD has played at 5/8.

Reynolds hasnt done anything week in week out for almost 4 years.

He got my Man of the Match for that.

AD showed more in 55 minutes against Parramatta than Reynolds has in 3 years. His passing game is awful, his running game isn't any better and his defence isn't too crash hot either.

Take his last 6 games. 350 minutes of football. 0 try assists, 0 line breaks, 2 forced drop outs, 95 tackles, 20 missed.

Reynolds is terrible. AD needs to work on his game but he can actually create something. AD can put up a bomb, kick goals, bust the line and throw a good pass. I'm pretty confident Madge isn't picking Reynolds in first grade unless we have injuries or suspensions.

His niggle game was also on point in that game - Latrell's reactions were too funny.
