  • Nah, we are gonna suck without a good 9. IDG does some good things and is a tough honest player, like KK, but not sharp enough to get the ball cleared fast. That extra second or two that a good nine gives the halves is what makes them look great, otherwise opposition defence snuffs out any play making skills they have 1/10 of a second after they receive the ball.
    Stood out like dogs balls tonight how much we are going to miss Peas. We would have piled up points with him playing last night
    • I agree about DeGois, but it was not only his delivery that was off his defence was also shit. If Peats played we win that simple. Would of rather let DeGois, feet for hands Terepo and a couple of others go and kept Peats as he is miles ahead of any dummy half that we have. DeGois is no where near like for like with Peats.

    • Disagree ... De gois defence was all class for me
  • I agree Glen.
    I thought that in the middle of the second half that Norman had run out of kick and attack ideas?
    Not his fault, he had to carry all the play making duties but Foran out there - we win.
  • Some players had played with broken hearts, death of loved ones etc. I think playing would have taken his mind off things.
  • 100%, Taka played like a wide running back rower. We only had one playmaker last night and Souths knew it. We needed an organiser out there to allow Norman to play his normal game. Extra fifth tackle options would have been nice too.If Foran is not available next week we need to bring in COrnish if he is fit and there is cap space available (not sure on his situation??)

  • I refrained from saying what I wanted to o say.
  • Last night was similar to previous years where there is a weakness in defense and the rest of the team over compensates.

    Toutai is weak defensively and he's replacing Taka who is replacing Foran.

    The whole team slides over to help the right side defense, which in turn when the ball comes quickly to the left leaves Jennings and semi covering 3-4 attackers.

    Foran comes back, Taka goes to centre and our defensive line is corrected.

    What it does mean is that we have a lot still to work on defensively as injures are going to happen and the second tier players need to be up to speed with their defensive reads, more so than their attack.
  • OK - I'll say it if the rest of you wont

    I am personally OVER the Foran's cry baby antics

    Bad sh1t....and I mean REALLY bad sh1t happens to ALL of us in our lives

    Do we get a month off work to deal with getting dumped by girlfriend ? NO

    Do WE get to hit the PAUSE button on life during a divorce ? NO

    Some Sports stars have no REAL perspective on life - they are pampered and as a result can BECOME entitled

    That is the case here - a dramatic OVER REACTION to a part of LIFE that WE ALL, at some point go through

    .......being heart broken and or betrayed.........nobody died which is FAR worse btw

    He is our captain - I expect mental toughness to be part of his personality

    He gets paid MILLIONS to PLAY a freakin GAME

    Deal with it Keiran and get your ass back to training and DO YOUR freakin JOB

    seriously

    • We don't all deal with the media glare that Foran has. We don't have people on the radio saying our kids aren't ours. We don't pick up the paper to see wild speculation of our personal life.

      By all accounts Foran wanted to keep on playing and the club told him to go and get right first. We need Foran long term.

      If he had a broken leg would you tell him to stop being a cry baby and just play? Mental illness can be as crippling as a physical illness. Don't be an armchair doctor, just let the bloke get well so he can get back and start ripping it up for us again.
