Very harsh on Star To'a

 

[isaaktigers]

Expected

Lol

0-4

How Laurie keeps his spot I have no idea. His confidence is shattered. Why not give Toa a go at fullback. Have we got anything to lose??

Bench is terrible as well. Softest bench in the comp.

Very harsh on Star To'a

Yeah the original link went to the Round 3 Team for some reason..

 

[AL The Tiger]

I've been a staunch Madge supporter in the time he's been here but if you're not going to pick the teams based on merit and reward the players who are actually playing well then what the hell is the bloody point. How does To'a get dropped from the team when he was by far our best player last week and showed more in that one game than Nofa and Roberts (especially) have in the past 2 seasons. Also, it doesn't make sense for Musgrove to be starting and Twal to come off the bench. Twal is solid and will do his job for long minutes, Musgrove should be off the bench to provide impact. These decisions just don't seem to be making sense at all.

 

[king_sirro]

Toa shows hunger and desire to be there, dropped.

Seyfarth, plays with more heart then anyone, relegated to bench.

Musgrave shows nothing but stupidity with dropped balls and silly penalties, he gets promoted.

Laurie, well enough has been said.

The coach has completely lost the plot. His insistence on rewarding the wrong players will be the end of him.

I hope they find form.

Very disappointing

Unimpressed

New face in that extended squad tho...tupou

 

[Demps]

Standard.

🤦‍♂️

 

[Newtown]

Madge gets more stupid with every match. Titans will be kicking to Laurie at fullback every opportunity they have. you are supposed to mature with experience Madge, not retrograde.

 

[Don Kershane]

Faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive.

 

[Madge]

I don't like it. Seyfarth deserves to keep his starting spot and Kelma on the interchange instead. As does To'a. An extremely weak bench. Seyfarth and Twal are both toilers there is no impact there.
