PRE-GAME Round 4 - Roosters vs Broncos

Wow at that article, just wow. Glenn was the best forward against the Dragons?? You have to be serious. Why are they talking up the young guns and then when we lose its their fault. The young forwards, all performed at had decent stats. It was the older ones like Glenn and Gillo who have fallen short of targets in the first few rounds. Yes TPJ had some defensive errors and needs to be consistent, but it is also just the way he plays. Fifita, Su’a, Offa, have all been quite consistent and are turning up. At the end of the day, the team is a TEAM.

Because Glenn didn't miss 3 tackles that lead to 3 tries maybe?

And he doesn't read his own press. The young blokes were guilty of buying into the hype, can't say the same about Gillo and Glenn. This article was clearly about humbling the youngsters.

Besides TPJ - who else is buying into their hype. Offa, Sua, Fifita, Fleger - are some of the most humble young blokes i have seen in the NRL

Never realised you were so fond of him.
 
We need to hammer their left edge.

Tupou still rushes up and I don't think Mitchell is that good defensively.

"gillett will revert to the LEFT edge"..... That's Glenn's side. This could just be an easy error by the 7 news team (webcke reading off a script, obviously he would never make an error!) but it would be great to see!
Would help milfords defence MASSIVELY and save him some energy for attack. Would also put experience on the bench. I think Glenn could easily play middle off the bench as well, he is short but a bit of a unit
 
a lot of voices of reasons to be had on this forum today...who is right?...who is wrong?.. time will tell, ultimately it's up to the to the players to step up

The kid is 19 and he's immature and doesn't know or understand how good he has it (being paid VERY well to play a sport he loves). He doesn't understand how real life works and doesn't understand how most of the world wake up everyday going to a job they hate.

He shouldn't be making these stupid errors of judgement but at 19, we think we know it all and are above the law and everything else. Does that excuse his behaviour? Not at all. What should his punishment be for this latest indiscretion? Well, it depends how you look at it. Was it a serious offense? Not really but it could of turned serious had he hurt or killed someone whilst looking at his phone while driving etc.

What to do? I really don't know but what I do know is, if he worked any other job and done this, his job wouldn't sack him or suspend him, he'd still have to turn up everyday and do his job. His job probably wouldn't know about it tbh. Look, it was a really stupid thing to do. I say, fine him again but don't suspend him from more games and get him to speak to a sports psychologist or someone that can guide him and perhaps make him see the error of his ways and hope he'll learn from all this.

So if he's left edge we can only assume that Glenn is getting the axe to the bench. Makes sense, hopefully that's how we take shape, I think that's absolutely our best starting pack moving forward.

8. Lodge
10. Ofa
11. Gillett
12. Fifi
13. TPJ

You put your trust in TPJ playing lock, with all the intense, sustained, critical defensive work required required of a lock in the middle?

On performances so far this season, I don't.

I reckon Offa is the better choice for lock.
