changes for next week

[Guest]

I thought FPN was one of our better forwards. He ran the ball hard and had some nice offloads. The only time we looked a better team than Souths was when FPN was on.

I liked the way FPN was used - i.e. in shorter bursts. It suited his game.

My concern was Kennedy. Our whole front row got owned, but when Kennedy was on we got smashed.

I thought we were pretty strong with JWH and Moa on, but Kennedy got owned big time. His shuffling dancing shit before the line is Hood like, he needs to hit the line like Moa.

Chook.

I'd love to see a replay to determine what went wrong with the RHS defense.

No need, I'll tell you now.

He has not the first clue about how to be a winger.
How many tries were scored down his wing, outside him? 3 or 4?
When they were, he was infield bunched up with other players, and Merritt and others just strolled down the sideline to score.
He needs to be back in Newtown learning how to be a first grade winger or fullback.

Perrett was bad at it, tries scored down his wing all the time...while he was infield.
RTS is much worse...but, he's only very young and inexperienced...basically from the kids team. [same deal as Moga]

[Rooster_Luke]

Nah c'mon Fletch we need massive changes after one round...Pearce to 9, drop Friend, promote Seluini, oust doust, mini to wing, RTS to fullback.

We are without a doubt the most over reactionary fan base in the sporting world.

Chook.

Bring back Braith!!!!!

The first try RTS turned in and made a mistake. The last one was SKD's fault, he rushed up and took fresh air.

Difference is 1 guy has played 6 games the other has played for 6 seasons and the dud at the back has played 13 seasons.

Use some common sense.

The 'dud at the back' is a very good there.
Wasn't his fault we didn't win the game.

Souths had 'all' the penalties/possession.
"Too big, too strong, too fast", and with 'all' the ball were never going to be beaten.
"New premiership favourites" according to Hadley this morning.

We simply cannot persist with inexperienced players who can't play up to first grade standard yet.
We need to win games.

Was at the game lastnight, reading the posts, there are a few here over reacting,sure we were bad, same old traits from past seasons raised their ugly heads, bad ball control, pushing passes that were no on, grasping at tackles, unstead of putting your body into the tackle , poor positional play especially by the outside backs, listed below the points I seen that lead to our defeat.

1. We again got hurt by the referee's, they cained us, and souths got every good call, Jennings has nothing to worry about in the citing, that was a penalty, at best.
2. RTS cannot be picked on the wing, Iám 60 and would of scored those 3 tries he got, with nobody in front of him, and close to the try line."
3. Pearce's kicking game was woeful, not one return set of six, from his kicks in goal.
4. Once JWH and Moa got replaced, we went backwards at 100 mph, we cant have a second row midget in Maubs, and a grasper, for a tackler in Guerra, we will be in the shit every game.
5.Kennedy is not one of our answers in the front row, he's too soft.
6. SKD would be at Newtown next week , if I was picking the side.
7. My changes for next week would be, RTS to 20's, for more fullback experience, Oldfield on his wing. SKD to Newtown, SBW in the centre, Maubs to Newtown, Cordner into the second row, starting props, JWH and Moa, and the bench of O'Donnell , Evans if available, Issac Lui, and Morts. ( Kennedy if Evans is not available, but not happy about it )
Overall, Jennings did some nice things, and will settle in well, Maloney tried hard, carried off a nice covering tackle that well may have saved a try. JBW done about as much as could be expected from him, and he will only get better, with game time under his belt. Moa plays well above his size, he shirks nothing, and hits hard in defence. Plenty of in goal kick and chasing needed at training this week, we dont want to be the worst side in the comp this season for getting return sets of 6.
On another note, the 20 's won on the bell, but both sides were pretty average, both 5/8's were the best players on the field for either side, Langi for us, and Dylan for Souths, not much to enthuse about, with the rest of them.

Very good?

Having him at fullback is like playing with one less player. He provides NOTHING in attack.

I have no doubt he will be moved to wing it just can't come soon enough.

[bondi-boy]

Can't attack without the football.
Can't attack if the penalty count is 1-9 and all the team does is tackle all night.

Which some people are suggesting is the whole idea.

I agree with that mate but honestly he can't do anything with it anyway.

Fullback is the number one position in the game now. It's the position that gets the most space and chances to score. You need a player that can break tackles or create something there. I'm certain Robbo will make the change but it should be sooner than later.

FFS, watch Merrit's last try from the back angle. Crappachello is watching what's going on yet ambles across the field lilke he's picking up a pair of his slag's shoes and gets into position just in time to watch Nathan score. He's hopeless.

Chook.

[Spanner in the works]

Same starting side. Cordner and LOD in for Mortimer and Arona if available. Need to be patient with RTS - it will be good for him to learn his trade and the importance of defensive positioning on the wing.

[Rocky Rhodes]

If you want to see over reacting take a good look in the mirror you deluded goose. Not one person is calling for massive changes for next week. If person 1 calls for one change, person 2 call for one change etc, that doesn't mean anybody wants massive changes.

And LOL at you for going on the GOeasts forum and calling members on his forum retarded based on your illogical conclusions. Typical commie, dobbing in your fellow posters for your personal cry for acceptance. Very Gilltard like (i.e Taint the whole sport community with drug allegations just for personal gain).

[Guest]

I would start with Mortimer at hooker & flick Kennedy for LOD (if fit) & Cordner (if fit) for Arona.
