Tigers' gamble will pay off: Brown

Yeh after last week I can't help but think brooks and Moses are really struggling to play structured footy. No 40 20s, no repeat sets when we r close to the opposition line, capitulation when the going gets too tough. It just seems there is no light at the end of the tunnel with these two. I have to say I'm unimpressed with any of the holy cross boys.

You open with 40-20's as your reasoning for being unimpressed with these guys.

Brooks seemed to look for and have a crack at 40-20's under Potter.

How can you not see that they have been nobbled and told to play a very basic structure under your mate Taylor. They wouldnt dare try a 40-20, same as Lodge being told to hold the off loads.

And as for the Holy Cross comment, cant say im surprised coming from a Taylor supporter, you guys are all a little agenda driven.

I have to agree with you here. I mean I can't have people knocking my old high school. Mind you I graduated roughly around the same year Brooks & Moses were born haha!!

Haha. Nah don't get me wrong I'm sure it's one of the best school boy footy places going around. I just can't remember anyone kicking on of late in first grade??

I just can't help and think brooks Moses and sirro were told they were Jesus all their career and kinda play a touch footy style footy so to speak and don't play structured footy.

Im thinking keebra has taken over in terms of getting players ready for nrl.

Hang around, there is a good chance of a resurrection in their ability when defence almighty comes to his senses and/or gets his arse kicked.

A lot of difference between the junior school nurseries, with HC being for locals and the other basically Kiwi park high.

A few things :

# We have had no option but to put faith in our Youth System as obviously we have major issues with our Salary Cap and can't afford Elite players that have representative pedigree

# I'm still not convinced with Luke Brooks though , he's coming up to his 2nd full year in 1st Grade and yeah there has been moments of brilliance but consistency has been a major worry . Has a load of forward passes in him and defence still being an issue.

# Next Season is looking like it will be the same as this year and we are going to have major issues trying to keep Taupau from 2017 onwards.

I don't know what time frame Brown is talking about " Tigers gamble will pay off " but i don't see anything happening for at least 3 years if anything is to happen , we need to get in the market for some proven players and it doesn't seem like anything like that is happening for a few years yet.

Back to back spoons ?!
Could be spoons x 3

it would pay off if they had quality forwards and backs that they could utilise. Aparrt from Woods and Taupau all of our forwards would not back another first grade side, apart from Nofa and Simona none of our backs would make another side either. They need quality outside of them, unfortunately they don't have any.

Teddy? I assume you mean the three quarter line.

On topic, Brooks and Moses are going well given where they are at in terms of experience. We will start to see the best from them at the beginning of next year.

Don't think it's just the backline outside them, southern.
Been a while since I've seen our backrowers consistently hit holes.
Gareth Ellis where are you?
