Matt Doorey

Just saw the big fellas NSW cup stats, definitely need to elevate him to nrl and lane needs a stint in newy cup. Gutho back in and matto. 3 changes to this weeks side. Can prob have Blaize as 14 for utility value and gutho at Flb.

  • Blake is either playing fullback at cup or NRL, no other position. He needs practice developing his positioning and tackling against line breaks. He will get that with experience. So the competition Blaize plays depends on how we ease Gutho into footy. Against the Broncos Blaize showed he is not afraid to put his body in front and hit hard (did it two cobbo twice). However, on line breaks he struggles with blokes with speed and agility. Tbf Gutho does too

    • If Gutho is good to go, Blaize prob NSW cup flb and let him learn I guess ?

    • This season is a write off so better to blood Blaize as the future fullback. Hopefully that will sway him to resign with the club. Put Gutho in the centres , off the bench or hooker, seeing as we have the weakest dummy half in the competition.

    how I would be going forward into next week 

  • What's the point in swapping mediocre forwards with mediocre forwards.

    Our season is done so what's the point in making changes.

    As long as the bush bum is coaching them, they won't win.

    • Lane seems to be struggling catching a footy and with contact, definitely needs to be dropped and Doorey deserves a crack. Can't keep lane in the 17 currently with how he's playing. 

      • Honestly, you could say the same for 98% of the squad. 

  • Runs hard, good lines. Scored a nice try in front of me yesterday. Wiremu played well too. Cini was decent at FB too 

  • He can't go any worse than Lane is at present. Not sure what the issue with Lane is but he's dropped right off. 

    • Could it be the fact he hasn't had Brown beside him for the last 7 or 8 weeks?

      He has had Talagi, Asi and Sanders next to him who don't use him properly.
