SQUAD v TITANS

[Roosterfarian]

Right now Billy doesn’t look like a walk up starter does he - doubtful he owns the spot next year. He plays with enthusiasm but I’m not sure he offers enough to make the spot his own.

We’ve always had dynamic centres who can break the line at speed in our successful teams. He doesn’t seem to fit the bill does he? Jury is still out but I don’t see him staying with us long term if he continues the way he plays.

Are you talking about when we dropped Walker to reserve grade to put our best centre in the halves and were using one of our wingers in the centres?

Who should have been the centre instead of Suaalii then? Who should’ve have partnered Keary in the halves? People on this forum pretend like they never suggest that Manu can play 5/8 when talking up his skills or that we could hurry Teddy out the door and play Suaalii at fullback with Manu at 5/8. The point was that none of them have played together because there’s been 1 or 2 injuries all years keeping them all playing together

That's exactly why Sam Walker shouldn't have been dropped. There was no back up plan so everything including our season was compromised! Then to make matters worse Robbo digs his heels in and perseveres. So now we're up shit creek. I've never bagged Robbo, however our position on the ladder comes back to his decision making.

100% spot on!

Can any Queensland based people recommend a good pub for lunch and beer prior to the game that’s in walking distance to the stadium?

This was the point I was making, but it must’ve went over their head.

Sammy did not deserve to be dropped in my opinion. But if you are going to do it, bring a halfback in so it doesn’t unsettle your entire backline (Keary to halfback, Manu to 5/8, Suualli to centre). Not to mention the players around them as they were swapping players from left side to right side (& vice versa) to accomodate all this. It just disrupts everything, all of the pre season reps and in season combos. Look at our clunky attack, this is due to a lack of cohesion and combos. Also as a club we don’t have the luxury to make unforced changes unless absolutely warranted due to the high frequency of forced changes we get hit with (injuries, suspensions etc.) throughout a season.

The Sporting Globe at Robina town centre isn’t a bad spot and is walking distance. There is a few options there so you can take your pick.

Walker was playing like crap his axing was well deserved and was supposed to be temporary welcome to first grade you don’t get entitled to a jersey you need to earn it but looking to the Walker drop is low hanging fruit Robinson knows and most people know that the real problem is that Walker isn’t currently good enough to be the starting halfback. Who should have played centre instead of Suaalii?

Pick which option is best for the team

1. Persevering with Walker in 1st grade until he finds form. Everyone else plays in their preferred positions.
2. Dropping Sam Walker. Playing Keary at 7(when you know he's not a organiser) Manu at 6 ( When you know he's no playmaker)Suaalii in the centres (when you know he struggles with his defensive reads and alignments).
3. Blooding Sandon Smith at 7. Everyone else plays in their preferred position.

A coach on $1.3 million a year should be ale to make the correct decision.

So thats your OPINION, simp...... nothing more,
it's worth the same as anyone elses.... nothing more
so don't go having a hissy fit when I tell you mine
which is
that yours is utter garbage,
you are totally in denial,
so you think this seasons cluster fuuk is all the players fault,
and we don't dare spray any vitriol towards the guru coach.....
because he's immune to that shiit.
go lick a doll.
