Team to face the Raiders

[TSupps05]

BJ is either gonna have a crazy good game to stick it to Ricky Stuart or it all goes to his head and he starts getting angry and making dumb decisions like he did against Newcastle. That’s Joey for you though ?

Well Ricky and the boys will know how to get under his skin
And they will know his weaknesses better than anyone else

It has me very worried. Hopefully we can finally just give him some early footy in attacking position.

We’ve not used Leilua the right way at all so far, Benji is too concerned about doing trick plays down that edge sometimes I think. Just let Joey run! So far he’s only been used as battering ram inside our own 20

Exactly my thoughts. BJ is most destructive when given early ball and he barges and skips toward the d line and either makes space for his winger or backs himself to crash over.

One of many things that's annoyed me this season. No early ball for Joey.

Why did we sign an attacking weapon if we aren’t gonna pull the trigger. Hopefully Reynolds will let the big fella have a run.

How do we know this wasn't planned ....

Giving footy to blokes to keep them match fit and match ready

Yup we can't believe anything

The earth could be flat and jennings could be the next Korobeite

What .....

You don't want players like Musgrove ,Reynolds etc sitting not getting any football

You lose all your timing etc .....you can't get to match conditions no matter how hard you train

Bellemy said exactly the same thing..plays Brenko Lee some other nuff nuff debuted at 27..out this week..

Reckon you are onto something..changes were warranted of course..Jennings went Clark went...Marshall I'm not so sure it was because of form line..more a 35 yo getting trampled by the Raiders would have been no good..give Reynolds game time he needs..Garner under a cloud still might come back in

The bench is certainly better balanced against a team like the Raiders..

Mate I just fell off my chair
You agree with Happy
It just goes to show
Anything is possible
ANYTHING

The cluey Melbourne Storm coach in Craig Bellamy the other day expressed a belief that it is going to be important this year to adopt a ‘rotation system’ to ensure that fringe players not quite in the top 17 squad maintain match fitness and hardness....

No one bats an eye

Bellyache is right.

Im going to throw my 2cents worth in...Titans game was a sham for us in more ways than one..

If I were the coach the first thing I would identify is that the back line was starved of ball,its not the first time either..
I would get Brooks and Josh to give the ball as much air as possible when we are in field position with space to move..to many times especially on the weekend we had the old 5 hit ups and a kick.it was easy to read..
BJ and Mbye both need to get more involved and run more,getting the team on the front foot so to speak..
I don't mean the good old exciting hail mary play,but smart movement of the ball to keep the Raiders working in defense...they will get tired..
I honestly think we have enough speed in the backline to really make an impression in attack ...it just needs to mobilise and keep the pressure on.
just a small input.but Im no NRL coach although I have played plenty of games to understand what you have a backline for and its not just to defend..
While we are at it,as I said I have played plenty of games to understand whats needed,Iam much older now BUT I surely could have pulled the boots on against the Titans and done a far better job than Jennings and I played on the wing and in the centres...my old coach would of put me in the womens touch football side if I had done what he did in the game on Sunday..he is a first grade NRL player and must perform to that standard...
