Re: 2024 Round 8 v Sharks: Game Day

Hudson Young's lucky we've got the problems we do in the edge position, otherwise he should be facing a stint in reggies He's been very disappointing from the games ive seen We need MUCH better from him All evidence is that he doesn't have much better to give. His "bad streak of form" has...

Re: 2024 Round 8 v Sharks: Game Day

If you want to know how bad Danny Levi was tonight...
He's gotten 79 total votes in the POTY so far this season. 13 of those points (a staggering 16%!!) have come from one single poster... and even he couldnt bring himself to give the bloke points this week.

Re: 2024 Round 9 v Sea Eagles: Teams and Previews

Yeah i think when Rapa is back, Chevy can drop back to cup and keep working on his game having had a good taste of FG A good discussion could be had at that point whether we're best of bringing rapa back on the wing or fullback... but i think thats a fan discussion, i dont think Savage is in conside...

Disappointed in that performance from Sasagi, i had heard he was aquitting himself quite well in the last few weeks
It was a disaster tonight, EW is apparently going to be back so i guess he's in... not sure that'll solve the defensive issues though

Levi has been OK this year, popped up with some tries, distribution generally pretty good, We are not watching the same sport.

Re: 2024 Round 8 v Sharks: Game Day

Pretty measured presser from Stuart today. He's really be better on that front this year. I thought the same thing. Not sure he knows how to fix it or can fix it though.

Re: 2024 Round 8 v Sharks: Game Day

This thought crossed my mind today, and despite it being at the risk of a classic 'move ordinary half into dummy half' take , I wonder what others think - should Weekes consider a transition to 9? Ball playing ability isn't quite there as a first receiver, but he's an explosive baller runner who ca...

Scary match up for us here, but looks like we caught a break with DCE and Olakau'atu almost certain to miss the match.

We simply cannot run out next week with Levi and Starling in FG they're simply not NRL level footballers. With the spine being so young and inexperienced we can no longer afford to carry these guys. Woolford is no great shakes but he's better than these guys. Get Puru into the #14, he only needs to ...

Re: 2024 Round 8 v Sharks: Game Day

What do Hudson Young and Smithies offer? Bit harsh on Smithies. He is a toiler who is in the middle of everything, his upside is obvious to me but he can't do it alone. Hudson on the other hand is lacking in all areas. His defence is horrible, his attack has no variation, he lacks size, footwork, s...

I'm loathe to go too hard on a young spine player trying to find his feet in firsts, but for a guy who's not particularly quick, agile, or large, Chevy Stewart will need to start bringing skill to the fore quickly. Being brave doesn't make you an NRL fullback. He's 18 and there is no structure for ...

Levi is doing his best, but as has always been the case, his best is not good enough for this level of football.
