One question ill ask how did Jamie go?

Got 15 minutes at the end, replaced sione. Was not good, at fault for a try when he didn't push across.

A consolation 15 minutes isn't good use of the bench.

 

[knightime]

Lol we are garbage.

 

[Kurriboy]

Lino should be 5/8 and not mann
He is better all round. Jsaf should be on the bench well and truly ahead of buhrer.

I honestly dont understand Browns selections sometimes. What is keeping Jsaf from being picked?

Levi will be gone next year by reports and Braikey will be Browns new part time hooker.

We need a decent 5/8. Doesnt have to be rep quality just someone we can rely on to chime in with a few good last tackle plays per game and knows how to get the best out of Ramien.

We need a solid dependable hooker that Brown is going to stick with. Brailey or Griffin when he returns.

Moga showing why size matters.

Still in the hunt for 8th or better. No real shame losing to the Roosters and shows us where we are at against quality opposition.

 

[relicorange94]

Who would you get? Not much quality out there

Justin Holbrook?
Walker Bros?
Geoff Toovey?

Round 19 coming up and Brown still can't settle on a team but keeps saying we need to be consistent.

We played well for a part of game especially first half, take our chances and could have had reasonable lead, bombed 6-12 points. Contentious positions are 6, 9, 11, 12 and 14-17.
6 Lino appears best option but seems overawed when alongside Pearce.
9 Levi or Watson, best works with Levi for 20 or so with Watson on bench
11 - 12 need Fitz back Guerra in meantime and Barnett at least gives variety as no forward seems to offload.
14 Watson who covers most position 1-7 as well as 9 his best spot.
15 Sione covers centre and forwards
16 Ese’ese unlucky to not start with DanS just holding his spot
17 JSaf offers more than Gavet, King and Saulo and is due a start
Ramien had a shocker and Moga was good enough to retain but we are short a 5/8 and backs

Glad someone recognises this

What is it you guys are seeing with DSaf? Both he and Klem lack leg speed. Klem has a slow PTB with all the reversing he does. Gavet sometimes has led speed but little impact. Saulo looked tired and slow in the middle defensively when he last played firsts. JSaf will be more of the same as his twin so what’s the point in bringing him in you think Dan isn’t cutting it.

We look tired to be honest, all origin especially. Have a week off I say

We’ve had the last 2 weeks off.

He would need to have the attacking ability of someone like Pearce to make up for the tries he lets in.

Pearce is the only guy that matters.
We were winning when he was fresh and keen.
He had his hardest working game of the year in SOO, and good on him.
We should have rested him after SOO, or give him 3 or 4 days off every week till he looks fresh again.
if you only have 1 playmaker, you need him firing every game.
