Terrible bench selection + moltzen at fullback

cost us the game.

yes we played disgusting and dumb which sheens cant control. but he can control what he sends out there and where he plays people.

moltzen at fullback was what it always is, a complete disaster, the people on here that even mildly suggest him there should hopefully never EVER suggest it again. he is scared of the ball and his positoning is terrible. then in attack he is non existent.

to make matters worse we have TWO FULLBACKS IN THE SEVENTEEN!!!!! brown was great guns for us all last year and sean meaney is a million times better fullback then moltzen.

then our bench, what a joke. one prop, one second rower, the smallest second rower in the world and a fullback.

did anybody notice what both grand final sides has on their bench last years? FOUR PROPS/SECONDROWERS!!!!!!! a coincidence?? i think not

after 30 minutes i turned to my mates and told him 'we'll get run over in the forwards late' and low and behold we did. to make matters worse the second rower turned prop we used gets injured early in the second half. unavoidable but usually easy enough to deal with…if you have a NORMAL BENCH

i know half of the forum on here has undying love for sheens and he can do no wrong in their eyes. yes i am critical of him however i didnt blame him for the dogs lose and i didnt blame him for the roosters loss.

however in this instance he has to take a HUGE amount of the blame. his selections were an absolute joke and cost us dearly.
 
I would assume it has something to do with Tim bringing him along slowly. Tonight was not the right night to look a the bigger picture. We needed some boppers.

From what I heard Woods wasn't fit, hence why he didn't play 20s either. To be honest, we didn't have many other experienced and/or match fit players of that size. Moors is really the only one that fits the bill, but seeing him last week for BRET, he isn't fit enough yet

matty 119 is right. woods had a virus and moors isn't deemed match fit.

moltzen at fullback was always the wrong call though…
 
moors is a would be if he could be …..if he is the answer to all our prayers then the season is over .....for 5 or more years he was going to be the next big thing .....whats with all the silence on adam blair .. did the done deal fall through ?
 
Take out the positional play and timidness with the ball bouncing the biggest pain of Moltzen is his lack of ruck running.

McKinnon and Meaney when he was on last night constantly trail the ruck and create doubt and not allow defenders to gang tackle. Moltzen tried it once and went to scratching his bollocks wanting to play half. His terrible grubber took the foot off the Titans throat as well early.

I like Miller but he should be in the 20's or on the bench because we need fluidity of structure.

The entire point of the new State Cup structure was to bring in like for liek and the minute he strayed from that we play like a busted through fatigue and poor selection
 
Agree Fergie.

When clubs start bragging about the depth in the squad it usually bites them on the bum very quickly. This has been the case with us having to use the likes of Latu Meaney Daniella and Flanagan none of which are up to NRL standard. The exceptions are Miller- a great prospect, but I suspect Sheens would have preferred to bring him on a bit slower- Brown of course, and Al Schirnack-despite his lack of size I believe has been one of our most consistent performers. Utai has performed beyond my expectations but conversely Moltzen has been well below and I must agree fullback is not his go.
May be time to give the likes of Mullaney and Clarke a crack at the big time….couldn't be any worse than the guys used so far!

That's because Bug has an agenda against Sheens. Most people can look at what he does objectively. As far as the Bug is concerned, when things go wrong, it's Sheens fault, when things go right, it's in spite of Sheens. How many of you were cursing Sheens or the team when we were up 14 zip at the 11th minute? They went to pieces in a matter of minutes and it became a war of attrition until we gave in.

Sheens picked a light bench, that had an impact on the outcome of the game however it was only a small piece of the puzzle. The whole team underperformed with the exception of Heighington and Utai. Moltzen was also another problem but not the sole problem that led to the loss.

Poor discipline first and foremost lost us that game. Stupid errors at critical parts of the game cost us dearly. Light benches, poor refereeing and a poor fullback absolve the most serious concern which was poor ball security and cheap penalties.

One question Geo if Moltzen catches that bomb he let bounce do you think we win . My answer is yes we win and probably comfortably

I dont know if it would have made a Difference….I thought Zilmans second try was worse....very poor defense unorganised but that's what happens when your playing with a patched up team.....

I'm sure they will learn a lot from the loss and be a better team for it
