    He can certainly be a good asset when fatigue starts to set in similar to how the dogs turned momentum around last night with their 14 off the bench, they really targeted in behind our ruck.

    I would go with a Walker & Savala combo right now.
    Tend to agree. I think he’ll be a really strong 14 for the remainder of the season but I don’t see how he could be in that role next year given we’ll have Robson and you’d imagine Connor goes back to 14.

      Deary me. You sound like you're about to burst into tears bro.
      Youre clearly too dumb to understand sarcasm and having the foresight to link it to Sally’s previous cyberbully claim.

      I’m also surprised you showed your face after Sandon’s magnificent effort last night. No new threads about him being the next Fittler?

        It's always funny seeing Salvo accuse people who were active on The Wall as being Souths fans.

          That was our game, and we blew it.

          I don't blame Sandon for the loss.
          I think the frustration with Sandon is his overall form.

          It's about the 39 games that he's played and not just last night.

            SS makes errors but he can see a hole and dart through. Last night he didn't have the pace to get over the line when he made that break.

            Maybe the bloke just tried too hard. You're making no mistakes if you try nothing.

            Seen Galvin. He makes a few errors over playing or trying something that doesn't come off.

            I think that he hasn't had 50 or 100 1st grade games. He's still learning.

            Yes as a 14 he'll be good value.

              You're a very sad individual. In so many ways.

                Even if we'd won Sandon would've been a passenger in a win.

                  That's the thing isn't it . He has only played 39 games and probably 2/3 has been in a team with average half's partners and team that has been decimated with injury and suspension. Sam Walker has played 77 . Give Sandon that many games with descent half paring and see were hes at

                    Didn't Collins crash over very soon after? They wouldn't have been in that position to attack the line, after a few gifts from Klein, if Toia had grounded the ball and we had to then run the ball back out from the kick off - at which point Collins or Lenui would probably have fumbled it anyway.

                    There was no net loss for the Roosters in that period of play. They still scored a converted try.

                      It was 6 minutes later so plenty of sets between. Collin's try didn't come in the next set for us.

                        You're right, it didn't.

                        But those intervening sets were all played at Canterbury's end of the field. There's no way Easts would have scored a try inside those 6 minutes if Toia hadn't dropped the ball and they then worked their way back downfield after the subsequent kick off.

                          Last night was his 40th game so you're suggesting a fair go would be another season and a half meaning it would've taken from 2023 through to 2027 for us to figure out if he's good enough or not?

                            Okay
                            It was all the refs fault.

In all honestly I would have loved to of posted a reply that explained my thoughts more in depth but I know plenty say that I come off too pretentious so believe it or not I am conscious of how I post and I do try to tone down my posts as much as as I can lol. I should preface I certainly don't think because I express my opinions more deeply or in more words that it somehow makes me more right in my conclusions, everyone's got an opinion this is just how I see the world and how I enjoy using the forum.

                              You'll be taking a lot of naps if you continue to read my posts so you can put me on ignore.

                              1. Top right hand corner click on your profile and go to "User Settings", then click "account" should look like this;



                              2. Scroll down to the bottom and you will see "Ignore list" start typing in the usernames you want to ignore and a list will pop up, select the user/s you want to ignore and then click "Save changes"

                              Any chance you can post those youtube clips of yours of Sandon Smith running sideways?

                              I'm in need of an early night & need something to knock me out straight away. ...got to get up early tomorrow.

                                Your banter is dead.

                                Please stop.
