I'm on Blaize Pops, and confident.
DId you watch JF. Awful performance.
Yes EA, watched it again with no commentary, and no teamlist and can't identify these boys like you.
Still I thought early for the first 30 minutes, where we led, we looked okay with our forwards particularly showing out.
But it couldn't last as the opposition were too big, too fast and too ugly.
They are a really a unlikeable mob as well they know how to rub it in when ahead.
Lorenzo was a standout, again, but unsupported when he ran the ball.
Also Hudson and his back-up were great and I can see Hudson having a long career, hopefully with us.
Finally was that Bamblett at 1, he was very poor competing for the ball in the air, but smart in attack. Always next week.
We started strong as you said. The moment the bench middles came on, we lost the ruck and were never able to get control of it again. Some very ordinary efforts in defence. Samueala was awful. Some others had poor efforts awell.
Renzo seems to lack combinbation with some of the players because as you say he often ran by himself with no support. He had some threatening moments but he did make a couple errors as well which should be noted.
Hudson to me still requires a lot of work on his defence. He scrambles very well in defence which shows he has a great attitude but his first contact is often poor. I thought lot of defenders had poor first contact today as well. However, lot of poor effort as well in maintaining a unified defensive line and keeping their legs moving for offloads or inside passes.
Nah Bamblett is suspended. He got sent off against the Dragons couple weeks ago which I thought was harsh. He tried making a try saving tackle but clothes line the player when he got wrong footed. So he is currently only playing school boy footy. We are currently on our 4th choice fullback in Flegg. Twiddle, Bamblett, Ambichini are all unavailable.
Are these are the guys the club will be relying on developing into good FG players?
That's a few floggings in a couple of weeks.
Unfortunately I would say half their full strength team are currently unavailable due to injury or playing in Cup. For example we are up to our 4th choice fullback and got around 4 outside backs injured. Our centres today was a backrower and a 19 years old in his second game. But still no excuses. Should have done better today. Especially since the disappointment today was the forward pack which was very strong on paper.The bench just didn't turn up today. We dominated the start but when the bench came on the field together it just went downhill . Compound with poor completion rate.
The problem with the opinions around Talagi is once you hit FG your meant to be the finished product from a lot commenting when in all essence it's the beginning.The instant gratification is just rampant around him.Ivan Cleary isn't an idiot he understands the strengths and weaknesses of the mentioned it's just a time and experience thing now.But you watch good or bad game I'm sure the opinions of Talagi will be way off the mark purely because what your seeing half a season into Talagi's FG career is as above far from a finished product.
Martin ruled out with a wrist injury, nothing else yet on the other guys
Good i hope they do play so there will be no excuses from the bum crawlers channel 9 when we beat them.
