Are you Nofoaluma uncle? He needs dropping bigtime

You do realise he ran for 90 metres more than any other player in the team right?

His last 30 minutes are what sparked the comeback.

Same side,

6. Talau
7. Douiehi

This isn't a bad idea. Two big bodies in the halves. Two runners of the footy. The problem is Doueihi will be doing all the kicking and he will be targeted.

Mbye last night.

16 tackles

8 missed or innefective tackles.

Not to mention the the number of times that he was just plain out of position.

Yet he STILL HAS NEVER BEEN DROPPED.

Release the photos now Madge and stop the pain.

I don't think this is fair in the context of the game. Mbye was getting brushed off by Fafita but he also slowed him down and Fafita didn't kill us.

He was one of our best but his defensive misses kill you watching it because he has been doing it his whole career.

He definitely can't be dropped though. He is our best outside back.

I said this in the other thread, but it’s unbelievable this guy actually has fans. Barely puts his body on the line, barely goes looking for the ball.

Healthy looking bank account though that’s for sure

 

[JC99]

So are the reserve graders eligible or is it after round 10 they can play?

Yep.
The bloke's put himself in the shop window and not a nibble from another club.
Gold Coast would've wet themselves with excitement when they saw him picked in the centres and yet we pick him week after week after torturous week.

Go figure.

I agree, his defence is frustrating, but we have problems elsewhere and a distinct lack of winger depth.

Mbye is too slow for wing, he can move to ‘left right out’ .. Cini deserves redemption, he obviously read the 2 page spread in The Daily Telegraph and looked in the mirror - he’s young so it was a good lesson for him, he’ll be back to earth next week and ready rumble!

 

[Tigerbuck63]

What are everyone's thoughts on Simpkin? He's looked good at some things, and struggled in some areas. Does he need a spell in NSW cup to work on his game or is a tough time in first grade a better option for his development? Maybe swap him with Liddle?

Talau should come back into the side at right centre.

Liddle looked decent and should hold his spot.

Cini and Simpkin need to be given some slack. They are just starting their careers in a very ordinary team. I am happy for the coach to show faith in the younger guys to give them belief but the experienced guys that don't pull their weight need to be shown that you don't have a spot in the team waiting for you because of how much money you earn.

Cini should be dropped you have a shocker that is what usually happens in most teams. That's our problem with our culture nil accountability based upon performance.

Nofo not much better and we preserve with Mybe at centre when is really is a bench utility.

One a positive note BJ had a good game and went looking for runs with the ball.

How can we have a lack of winger depth when we have Fitzgibbon and Gebbe - 2 of the fastest men in league waiting in the wings ... not sure when they are eligible but make it happen Madge!

 

[TonyTiger]

i thought simpkin was pretty poor again tonight, i think Liddle has to start

I like both Simpkin and Liddle, I agree Simpkin has been poor the past 2 weeks as he has been targeted by some opposing big boppers ... I thought Liddle would have been hungry last night but he didn’t look interested - must have been something in the air.

 

[TonyTiger]

Laurie
Nofa
Talau
BJ
Cini - give him another chance
Douehi
Madden
Joffa
Luch
Blore
Stefano
Liddle
Twal

Tamou
Mikelle
Seyfarth
Garner

We have 700k left in the cap. The club should be spending the week finding some genuine class either at halfback or backrower or outside back. Perhaps Shaun Johnson, Joe Tapine or who knows in the backs but someone for the wing or centre.

You’ve highlighted the forgotten man - The Enforcer.. Shawn Blore, he should be fit enough now and we know he has the best attitude of our forwards.
Has anyone noticed Stefano hasn’t looked that interested in the past 2 weeks? He was great in the earlier rounds but just seems to be going through the motions now - I really like him and I guess he can’t do it all on his own - Tamou is a gut wrenching disappointment - thanks Ivan, stop laughing!

Speed isn’t everything. They’re not ready, Fitzgibbon in particular has many more defensive deficiencies than Nofa at the moment.

Anyone who has time to go shopping for a pair of pink tights can’t be focussed in their role.

? that's gold.

His origin debut was embarrassing and he's been disgraceful since.

It’s not just speed, I was being kind to Mbye by only suggesting one deficiency, I could have gone on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on.
Don’t you have any passion? I don’t get the constant support for this guy, who offers a CheeKam style bog average appearance, KPI’s - what are they?

 

[Tiger Tarl]

What about Roberts on the wing? More space, he's got the speed, powerful... Am i missing something?

 

[gallagher]

Maybe a new water boy this week?
