The first one was 50% on Manu to be fair, but Cameron went for the legs and missed by 100 miles. 

The second one was embarrassing, got completely manhandled and thrown out of the way. Taka did what he could covering up the scraps. 

Don't believe me look at the replay closely. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZqLP90Ish0

FYI third try was Auva'a's miss but I guess with Norman lying on the floor injured and Moses in the bin it didn't really help. Gutho will take his spot. 

Easy fix for Manly, Kaysa replaces Cameron. Kenny needs a spot.

  • King is better then kaysa smith needs to be on the bench as does Kenny but early in the season playing in daytime you need a back up hooker
  • King is similar to rory kostjasyn or a hinchcliffe... Good first 20 minute player but not as effective in the full 80 minutes

    ba does this every year... he starts off with one hooker in the team and four forwards off the bench and every year its flops

    Either kaysa or will smith need to be in the team since they can help support king and a number of other positions
  • King missed 6 tackles yesterday, he struggles churning out 80mins IMO.

    I'd rather Smith on the bench than a useless plodder like Kaysa in the team.

  • The reason Pritchard was initially preferred to Smith was his defence particularly goal line defence.
  • Hate to break it to you, King was not our issue yesterday at all.

    • Agreed

    • Not he wasn't, but he did struggle in the middle once Mannah and Alvaro our two hardest working middle defenders went off.

  • As ive said for a while, pou has too, king is overrated, hes not the answer.

    Hes got zero attacking game for a hooker too and always takes selfish go himself options on the line.

    • Trouble is BA doesn't want to flash the cash for a rep quality hooker. I think King does a very solid job. His delivery our of dummy half is as accurate as you can get which is crucial. And he can kick which is very helpful at times.

      But if you're wanting a Glanville / Isaac Luke type hooker that darts out of dummy half and causes issues with defence he's not it. Personally I'm not a fan of either of those players i just mentioned. For me King does a job well.

    • He was a bloody hog yesterday.
