Round 9 - Cowboys vs Broncos

[Aldo]

If only we could use our backline as much. When our backs get quality ball they are so dangerous. Not enough backline moves for mine.

Yeah. It's probably taken me a bit longer than some to warm to Herbie but he can play. Love to see what he'd do outside of a decent number 6

 

[BooKhaki]

Just general ability to not be burnt, and then he seems good at not being run over, see earlier game vs titans this year.

Well you reckoned he couldn't even win that, so me thinks your full of shit.

I was wrong about his ability to win the award for best fullback in ISC. I'm stoked he was a good reserve grader back in 2017, if only his game could develop into a first grade standard.

ISC...how cute.

Was in reply to this

If Isaako spent the entire year in ISC, he wouldn't win best fullback of that comp

It will. Have some patience. It's a different game, from winger into fullback. He's going to be a gun. You just need to stop wanting everything to be fixed overnight, because it won't happen

 

[BooKhaki]

Last time Milford showed he was an NRL standard Fullback Nathan Tinkler owned the Knights and Dave Smith was the NRL CEO.

When has Isaako shown to be first grade standard? I'm yet to see it. Or should we just keep sticking with him while he has a few classy moments in attack?

 

[BroncosFever]

I hope Kevvie has a plan for a fullback somewhere, Isaako continues to make basic errors which is the one thing that we really can't keep doing and expect to win, especially in big moments of the game

He got us out of it last week with his footwork but tonight against a team that just doesn't hand you try scoring opportunities he let us down

He isn't going to be a gun. Just because I think he is shit, doesn't mean I want something fixed overnight.

You guys keep defending your favourite players and wonder why we don't win any games. He has shown in every single game this year that he isn't a fullback.

We should be doing everything we can to sign Joey Manu or Staines. Both good fullbacks who can't get a start there for their club.

Have an look at his average error rate. He's actually one of the least error prone:

He made 3 errors tonight. He's only made 8 the rest of the season. Holmes has made 16, and that doesn't include his 2 tonight.

 

[Harry Sack]

He looks pretty fit to me. Some of his errors - like dropping bombs - can be coached better. Some are just serial bad luck. Look at Flegler. He had a blinder tonight. Who saw that coming?

Seems to lack mental fitness maybe? Needs to work on his focus.

 

[thenry]

Also how much time did the Cowboys have to get the ball to Holmes after Clifford muffed his setup?? Where was the rush up from our guys? So fucking lazy.

Fucking this. I was screaming at them! We had forever for someone, anyone to pressure him. Frustrating.

That's 2 games in our last 4 we have been the better side and not been able to ice it.

 

[Mr Fourex]

I did't think it was as all as bad as some of you are making out......Its a massive improvement to where we were a couple weeks ago.
Gamble got the steam knocked out of him early in the 2nd half....which kinda affected the whole team. They reverted back to being shit.........
Gamble's enthusiasm certainly seems to be lifting the team as a whole. It is a shame he isn't more naturally gifted.

p.s
Loving the Bullemor !!! He needs to get more time on the field!!
Riki seems to have lost his confidence....he's hopeless at finding a hole to run into at the minute. Maybe he should spend some time back in the reggies to get his swagger back.

Shit ball playing and being out of position doesn't get counted in the error tally. Isaako has been OK under the high ball this year.

We need Reynolds and a hooker. Potentially I’d be looking at bringing Api Koroisau for 2023. Surely panthers won’t be able to hold onto him.

Obviously Grant is target #1

He's BHQ's overall third best rated player after TPJ and Haas, so he can't be that bad.

 

[nopatience101]

Any news on Gambles shoulder? He didn’t look comfortable.

Riki looks spent and has for a couple of weeks, he needs a rest.

Pity he's won us our only games we've won.
