POST GAME Round 4 - Storm vs Broncos

[K-Style]

**** he’s an absolute grub.

Yeah this isn't a one off from him. What's even more perplexing is that he did this to Meaney who seems be about as opposite to his last name as possible. We only need to change one letter in Walkers name for it to be a apt description.

 

[BruiserMk1]

He’s lazy, but I think he’s also gun shy, he’s terrified of getting suspended to the point he has lost all the aggression from his game. He is playing like he’s been neutered, and now all he wants to do is sleep all day.

I actually said this to a mate last night, he appears afraid to be aggressive as the NSWRL might suspend him again.

 

[Wolfie]

Bullshit. Milford isn’t trying. He isn’t getting involved at all for most of our games for over a year now. I’m sick of the excuses. He’s happy to sit away from the ball and not bother, whilst never improving his defence. I’m done with him.

It’s not just him, but our entire team just doesn’t care. You see our halves get smashed and nobody comes in to protect them, their heads drop and they act like a bunch of pansies. The NRL has suspended the aggressiveness out of this team specifically. I’m over this entire sport if I’m being honest. We have been systematically brought down over the years by the NRL and by our own board. There’s no way it was an accident

If Milford wasnt trying he wouldnt be involved so much. Its his capability these days thats the issue. Nothing he does works.

@broncsgoat already has the rock picked out.

It’s a fucking big one I’ll give you the tip

 

[Wolfie]

Dont know what folk on here expect to be honest....

We have a rookie coach......making rookie mistakes......what do you expect?

Im still certain Kevs been set up to fail, but thats a convo for another day...

I really think Dearden needs ISC time under his belt. I said it prior to this game and im still of this opinion.

We have no halves at the club that can fundamentally change the game anyway.....Deardens not the answer, but neither is anyone else...

Every game this month we play, Reynolds contract keeps rising $100K per week for us......we are seriously stupid if dont enquire about him...

Asiatia, are his injuries systemic? Is that why he isnt starting..? Did we do the Cowboys a favour by taking him..?

TPj starts at lock next game, Carrigan to the bench or ISC; he isnt good enough to be a 13 at this level yet. Kennedy did nothing wrong for mine, he needs to come back.

Find a proper 14 somewhere please for the love of God; Turps is gunna break again at this rate...

Haas and Lodge should be slightly better with another game under their belt...

How is Walters a rookie coach? He has coached in Superleague and ISC for quite a while, he has served his apprenticeship as well under Bennett and Bellamy and coached Queensland. No way in this world can he be classed as a rookie. If he doesnt know what he is doing now he never will.

Pangai is a myth of a player. He was awful last night, he just has no consistency in his game at all, he never has and its not improving. Asiata should be lock, its where he was signed to play to give us that ball playing ability from 13 then we can move Carrigan to prop where he belongs. First thing Kevvie needs to sort out with the forwards is the rotation. Get them interchanged earlier to keep them fresher.

He’s not playing well and he’s not getting the bounce of the ball when he does something good either. He weighted that kick perfectly last night and just got the most horrid bounce

For one of our more senior players i think he has been a major letdown. He is capable of inspiring these forwards, and he isnt.

I think he knows he is a dead man walking tbh.

 

[Mr Fourex]

Your man Carrigan aint far off either ....IMO. His butter finger hands and his general mistake rate is really starting to shit me.

 

[Mr Fourex]

....and its been that way for quite some time. I'm sure it must be frustrating the **** out of him. Its exactly that too....nothing he does works anymore. He can't seem to find the space he needs. He's running and playing on zero confidence. The only thing he is still doing well is kicking.

Not sure how he can be classed like TPJ. There is a bloke who probably has 3 quality games a year. He's been far more consistent despite having to play long stints when he shouldnt have to. Haas falls into the same bracket ( and quite a lot of these younger players tbh ), they are playing way too much footy with no experienced players to help guide them on the field, and no real options to take them out of the firing line for a while. He didnt drop the ball at all last night and he badly missed one tackle. Other forwards did exactly the same kid of things. Apart from that he was ok, not great, just ok. He seems the new scapegoat for some.

Quite sad really that people cant accept younger players need to develop and they will have dips in form. Player development and the poor management of all these younger players is exactly why we are struggling. We have a fair few on here who are always calling for the next big thing to be thrown in because of the hype. It rarely ever works. I was one of the ones saying it was going to be a recipe for disaster when we went down this route and it gives me no satisfaction to be proven correct. You would think having Lockyer on board he would have been able to advise these clowns that going with so much youth was never going to work. He is as dumb off the field as he was smart on the field. Hopefully Donaghy will take control and sort out everything.

Doesnt help he is being asked to play 5/8 and half back. Part of it is down to coaching, part of it is on Milf.

 

[I bleed Maroon]

Siebold too smart. Kevvie not smart enough. Whats the in between? Do we send Kevvie to Harvard or hit Siebold over the head with a rock?

I'll do you one better: Stone Paul White to death for fucking Bennett over and by extension the rest of the club.

 

[McHunt]

Judiciary: Pat Carrigan is facing a suspension of one to two weeks for his grade one crusher tackle on Storm prop Christian Welch.

Probably do him good to get a break.

Tpj was one of our best forwards in the first three rounds. He’s one of our only real attacking threats and ought to be in Glenn’s spot running at halfbacks and creating opportunities with his offloads as opposed to the bloke currently there who is plodding along for 50m a game.

I’d really love him to work on chasing his own kicks. When he’s getting that right he seems to play with a bit of confidence. Unfortunately he never does it, might be laziness or maybe he’s been told to conserve energy?

I'd play him instead of Glenn, but i wouldnt say he has been one of our best either. He is capable of so, so much more than he shows. Glenn, sadly, is just done. everything has caught up with him.
