Au Revoir Toupo and Nikodrama

[Vasco]

Does Robbo have the bottle to actually drop players though?

I dont think so.

Hard to drop players when you have so many out injured.

[Vasco]

The only way Pearce can redeem himself is if he turns into Freddy and leads us to premiership glory.

We all know that ain't happening...

I'd **** off friend before either of those 2. Besides half of 2010 and all of 2013 Friend has been a pedestrian player, and has regressed even more this year.

How this fat prick can't just lose some weight to be able to play 80 mins of footy without being gassed 25 mins into each half truly is beyond me

Fat? Lose weight? Friend has not got an ounce of fat on him. He is a stocky guy that hits the weight room. That's his build.
Maybe you think he should grow to be 6ft2? That would then solve the issue that you obviously have with him 😏😏

[roosterproud]

so we drop Toups, Niko and friend. so now we have J Burgess, Ionie Van, Vincent Lue, Mtch Frie, Jayden nik, Connor watson, Dale copley all as debutants to the nrl and you want 3 more. FMD the sky is falling the sky is falling. Poor kick options and a few wierd passes from the rookies cost us. thats the cost of building depth as a team.

But he dropped Papalii.

Tupou is a joke, I am sick of him. He will probably do something good next week and then stink for the next month after that. It is just not god enough from a lazy winger. Then we will have his supporters who will come out and talk about his tackle breaks (many of which are running backwards or sideways) but conveniently ignore his many pathetic simple errors.

Regardless of his body composition, he is 4-5kg too heavy. Drop that weight, be it fat or muscle, and 80 mins is no longer an issue for him.

Too many players these days are obsessed with getting huge. All it does is slow you down and murder your agility, especially as a playmaker where decision making and speed are far more important than brute strength.

Look at Greg Inglis as another example of a bloke who simply carries far too much size for what he needs to do. If he'd stayed at that 92-95kg of his first 3-4 seasons and not the 105-115kg he jumps between now he'd have been the unquestioned greatest player of all time

Drop our best player......brilliant!

[Salvatori Grubber]

Classic Danish.

Fair dinkum, I don't understand what some Chooks fans are actually seeing when they watch the footy.

In the 'Pen last night, there are blokes in there who seriously can't tell the difference between League and Tiddlywinks, if their acclaimations of 'do something Easts!' and 'you're shit Soward!' and 'you're a cat', etc are anything to go by.

These people actually have the same vote as me - it's scary.

3 senior players Guerrer, Friend, Tools haven't a brain between them
Makes the poodle look like Mensa

Niko the jnr burger can be excused

I feel sorry for the little bugger needs a few games with reggies to get his confidence back .
Now Liu is may be gone this club is really pushing shit up hill.
I never expected any thing this year...I wouldve been happy if we snuck into the 8 and prepare for next year then take the title in 2018 thats how I saw it.
This current bunch just can win the tight ones at the moment when your playing good you make your own luck you know the story.

That fat prick made over 50 tackles last night, so I would at least be fair and say he is a lean prick. But I get your point, he's not offering enough attacking spark out of dummy half, at a time when we badly need it. I'd like to see him grubbering more for the in-goal out of dummy half as well.

If Pearce didn't implode himself in the off season Nikorima's introduction to First Grade would have been a far smoother one and probably off the bench (sometime mid season) and not from the get go in round 1. Agree on the talent Niko has but right now his confidence looks shot, hopefully Pearce returning to the team will restore some structure and confidence to the team.

Yes

[The Axe]

Spoke with a player after the match.
1. Papalli was injured

Here's my thoughts.
1. Niko good player playing too many minutes due to Pearce
2. Jake playing ok. Not our greatest captain but the criticism on here a bit harsh IMHO
3. Guerra has too many mistakes in him. Passing ticket revoked again
4. Toupo is no longer FG player. I no longer cheer him (sad really) and wait for him to make a fundamental mistake or give up and I think he should hand back the money they pay him. He continues to make the same mistakes he did as a rookie. He does not even try to leap for the ball. SKD tries his hardest to get to the ball. He is often pushed backwards. He cannot go to ground close to the line. He is a clumsy goof. Please Robbo drop him. I can never recall feeling this way about any player bar Bwaiff in 40+ years supporting and being in love with this club. If Robbo won't drop him perhaps the team can
