Tukimihia Simpkins #248

[WT2K]

Are the Magpies playing this week in KOE Cup or do we have the bye? Haven't seen anything mentioned.

Bye. Next game Thursday night v North Sydney

I think he will make an excellent 13 in a year or two.

Fingers crossed

Anyone seen much of Simpkins in the KOE Cup, haven’t heard much about him lately.

That's because he was suspended for a few games for a crusher

Spewing, have you seen much of him up until then?

 

[Snake]

This is the player I am most excited to see promoted, a ball playing forward with a good defensive technique at long last !

Me too.
Hope he kicks on.

Did you mean to say month or two? He definitely won't be waiting a couple of years to get a run. He's not far off first grade now.

Reckon there's a good chance Tuki gets on the bench this week.

We need a more agile and dynamic lock, who can offload

BB, do you have a clip of what an offload is for those who haven't seen one in the last few years?

Why not I say

What’s the worst that could happen ...

We lose again?

 

[Tiger_Fanatic3]

Surely he is on the bench this week. He can cover the middle and also the edges. Can bend the line with ease and has a great late offload in him. Lower grade boys are eligible for selection now. Hope we see some changes.

 

[jrtiger]

coming off a suspension, don't see Madge naming him after nearly 3 weeks out. I think the last thing any of our youngsters need is for their confidence to be shot down in first grade considering how we're performing.

I think i have a clip of Corey Pearson executing this technique, the most recent example i can find.

Is it in colour ????

When he’s carving up first grade, then we can call him a beast. Till then, the jury is out.

But but but
MCK was called The Beast by some on here

Its the new generation. everyone is a 'beast', the next immortal, blah blah blah. Very few 'beasts' in our game let alone our team, and even fewer have played 300 FULL games or more.

Sualli is a beast and has never played men, so there you go.

We don't need anything to be fair, there is no lack of talent in the team.

What we lack is EFFORT. With EFFORT comes wins. Can have an F1 car in the garage but if you dont have a licence or cant drive a manual, its pointless.

EFFORT is what we need. EFFORT. We have bucketloads of everything else.

On the contrary, our backline is the least talented in the NRL, by a long margin. Our forwards also vary in talent, probably one of the least talented packs in the comp.

Any player that doesn't put in effort should be dropped. Or fined. There is no excuse for ANY player not to apply effort.

We never get to see the talent in the backline even if we had any because AD and Brooks aren’t using them. You have JTJ, a genuine game breaker with something we have never had called speed & he hasn’t been given early ball in 1 game. We have BJ who runs onto the ball hard, do it once and thats it. Lucy touches have dried up, Garner never gets the ball.

Brooks gets bashed a heap whilst AD gets alot of love here but AD is a ball hog. Yes he can throw a great cut out ball once every 3 games but he has no idea how to use a lock/backrower/center or link man in Laurie. It hits AD and stops 90% of the time.

Our attacking formations are terrible at the moment.

Eligible after round 10 I believe.

Yes thats right , after round 10.
I asked the question the other day
in another thread and was told its after round 10.
Here's hoping that some changes are
made including introducing Simpkins to
first grade along with some others and they
hopefully show a bit more gusto than what's there currently.
