That LEFT edge

Bro they defended well. All of those players should be picked again next week.

On our RHS, Joey is the only problem. Asu sucks but we don’t have any better...

AND your ‘boy’ Brooks supposedly running the entire field now or at least directing the middles/general play? Where was he?

That whole second half when our forward rotation changed and I believe maybe Garner had a spell - there was no line speed. Roosters could sniff it a mile away. Imagine making JWH look like a pro vet at his age.

Hopefully this sees the end of Madges second experiment with the Leilua brothers together on the left. He’s got it very wrong with this make-up IMO.

Move Garner back to the left edge with Talau at centre.

Move Luciano to right with the Jet.

Move BJ to England or as far away from the team as possible. He is an absolute virus. Laziest and stupidest player I’ve ever watched.
 
The left edge with the Leilua brothers defending together is a serious problem.

Most definitely and I don’t think there’s any cure for it now that BJ has lost all speed and seemingly mental application. Luc was out there just chasing big brother’s tail that entire game and it showed in his output. Quiet

Makes me think it could be worth persisting with Mbye and Roberts?

First time I’ve ever called for wholesale change so early in the season and it sucks.

Talau and Mbye need to be on the left next week. They defended pretty well last year together, the attack won't be as good but then again it's pretty crap at the moment

Puss bar DL. Let’s be honest

Wasnt it the same last year and within 2 or 3 games he split them up?
 
Last season when Lucy and Joey were on the right side together it didn't work and they were very quickly split up.

How the the hell did they think they were going to work on the left hand side this season.

Add Asu Kepoa into the mix on the left hand side and we have a disaster.

Had previously stuck up for young Kepoa, but As patient as I am, I've run out of patience.

Joey is just a clueless meathead and I hope he's got a brickie's labourer's job lined up for next year because it's a pretty sure thing we won't be renewing his contract.

Yeah I think you're right.
 
Joey and Kepaoa can go and play reggies next week with Luch on notice for his poor reads. this is why I was hesitant to lose Momirovski. Talau is still very raw and struggles defensively, unfortunately we might see more of the same.
 
And you weren't nervous the times that the Roosters went to the left and Noffo was isolated out there on his own?

The only thing that saved an almost certain try on a couple of occassions was Noffo going for the intercept, which unfortunately didn't quite come off.

But it just went to show that they had us beat on both sides of the field and eventually in the middle as well.

It was just that they mainly targeted our left edge today, but had us beat all over the park anyway.
 
Most disappointing was the commentary team advising there was no talk on the left in defence. Leilua J should have been talking with Kepaoa. Young players learn from veterans so by playing Leilua we are doing a disservice to the development of Kepaoa. If he doesn't know that now he never will.

Yeah, you listen to Robinson in the press conference and they were treating it as a training run.
 
after deciding to attack our left side, they were doing it consistently with nearly identical play. I was surprised that no attempt was made to fix or at least interrupt this strategy! :thinking_face:
