@Tcat said in Wests Tigers Team v Brisbane Rd 10:

So Brooks may potentially be used as a hooker for a tiring Grant if required.

More likely that Walters would move to 9

James Hooper Alert

What happened to sezer

Hodgson controlled the Raiders on the field, not Seizer

I don’t know how any half could feel comfortable playing with Josh Reynolds. For all his enthusiasm he is totally erratic. Great energy yes but It comes at a price as all teams that have played with him have found our.

All the teams he has played with…that would be, Bulldogs, with whom made a couple of GF’s, and SOO, which that year won. Oh, and Tigers.

When the Bulldogs won a grand final their forwards were actually playing as halves. In SOO most of the players have the skills of a half.

Your point is…?

He was not playing as a 5/8, he was more of a loose forward. James Graham was 5/8 at the Bulldogs that year.

Cade Cust resigned with Manly for two years. CHN on the Tigers and Roosters radar for next year. Brooks on shaky ground and if Reynolds not suspended his position would have been under serious competition. All according to Christian Nicolussi in SMH

Me I would still rest Brooks even without Grub, he needs to be sent a clear message that he is not up to NRL standard, I would play Walters in Brooks spot, how many chances does Brooks get

It’s funny how Brooks is only on shaky ground now when there is really no one else available to replace him. He should’ve been on shaky ground weeks ago! Harry Grant has been the one controlling this team and he’s only been here 10 minutes!

I’ve been hanging to see a Reynolds/Marshall halves combo go around again, but Brooks is always the common denominator that is never removed. Madge could try Walters next week, but with Reynolds out he probably won’t.

You saw it in games 1 & 2 this year, it was awful.

AD is our best fullback and probably our best 5/8. At 6 he could have the simple game plan of run hard like a 2nd rower or give early ball out wide.

The spine is missing a good support player, we make a lot of breaks and half breaks but there is no one there to take advantage. Look what a difference Tedesco’s support play makes for the Roosters or Gutherson’s makes for Parra.

@jirskyr said in Cummins and the Nrl are a joke.:

I didn’t think Su’A did anything wrong in his tackle on Doueihi and it was unfortunate we dropped the ball.

I agree with most of what you say but why was Doueihi’s chin bleeding? I saw Sua’s fist contact Doueihi’s chin in the replay.

To the Peats v Harry comment ridiculous
JAC 91 games
6 origins
2 tests

Nofo
127 games
1 prime ministers 13
1 city origin

its not about amount of games played like the Peats v Grant comment its about talent

if we get Momo back next year then we can use Nofo money to bolster another spot like upgrade Harry

@pawsandclaws1 was using previous rep honour as a basis for a player current value, I was providing an opposing example.

JAC is great when in a great team with creative ball players to create a tiny bit of space for him. Nofo creates something out of nothing by himself and does a lot of early hitups against a set defence. They are very different players with different strengths. If you had Jack Wighton and Turbo as centres like in SOO, I would pick JAC.
