Round 19 Sydney Roosters Vs Warriors

[novice chook]

Problem with bringing on a player with 10 min to go, you need him to play the first 10-15 of the second half. Otherwise we waste an interchange and with our fitness levels this season, we need all the changes we can get.
While Koupa probably has the ability, he hasn't played first grade long enough to know how the team operates, hell he hasn't trained with us a whole season.

I am glad that Jake is getting recognition for his on field actions. I watched his first game in grade and his work ethic shined through, he was always first into the tackle and they were bloody goot tackles on bigger blokes. He is a tough little midget, who i am sure can easily play the full 80. He might not have the fitness, but he sure does have one thing - heart.

I have no doubts that Jake can play the full 80 mins on energy and enthusiasm alone - unfortunately Fittler obviously doesn't feel the same way.

There's only one way to get these young blokes used to playing 80 mins and that's to have them do it. Our season is gone so we should be seeking to get all the positives out of it we can.

And if one of them is that Jake can play through the tiredness barrier and become an 80 minute player if we require it, then we'll be one step ahead for 2010.

Atm we're losing more than we gain when he's off the field.

Mate i totally agree with you. I was just trying to comprehend Fittler's reasoning behind this move. That was the only one i could think of.

Friend has played several games this season for the full 80. He has done well. But maybe just pulled up sore after it, considering this is his first proper season of first grade. So Freddy decided to reduce his game time. Not a bad move, as long as you have a decent replacement. Koups was too indecisive yesterday in attack. Wasn't sure whether to pass or scoot, in the end he would try and do both. And he dropped off tackles in defense. Freddy should have only given him 20 minutes game time

Koupawhatthefarkshisname is deadset useless. Hopefully he will be feeling Smiths broom on his backside as he is cleaned out next year!!

Totally agree. Should never have been purchased in the first place - another dumbarsed useless forward when we already have more than our fair share.

Fark this 20 minutes game time. He shouldn't even be in the 17, he is Jets material at best.

I'd rather give one of our NYC blokes a spot on the bench for the rest of the season.

What is wrong with giving the ball to Mitch Aubbusson..

He didn't get any ball yesterday did he??

He didn't get much at all PtB which is a shame.
Did Sa play yesterday? I didn't notice him.
