Arthur was forced to do what every bum knows. No need for Degois. Degois comes on and pushes peats to the back back row. When Degois went down with injury peats played the entire 2nd half comfortably at hooker to the teams benefit. Hopefully Arthur can now see the obvious.
Pauli Pauli: After cracking 1st grade last year he was basically dropped until today. He's on a contract year with plenty of teams in demand. His ceiling is huge so play him the rest of the season and lets see what we got before we just let him go for nothing. I can see him running off foran for many a try.
Tim Mannah's work rate of late has been awesome and is bloody valuable. He plays 80mins now which is huge. yes he lacks the offload but we should still keep him at the club.

Peats should play at hooker for 80 mins every week.
Pauli should play every week.
B.A. seems clueless sorry to say.
Good observations, plus we also learned we do not need to waste a position on Joseph Paulo and that neither Sandow or Kelly are our answer to the halves answer. We need a half that can organise like Kelly and spark our attack like Sandow and we need a reliable goal kicker.
Brad Arthur has completely lost me. Imo Peats needs to be the hooker for entire 80 mins. Hes always looking around and counting number like every good hooker should. Our best kick of the day was from him out of dummy half. When Degois went off I was happy, not for Degois being injured as I do like the guy and he is certainly a great back up who gives his all. But I thought YES! Peats will play entire game at hooker. Yet still in the second half I see Peats playing as an additional play maker with Robinson jumping into hooker on many occasions. It was this point I have completely lost any faith in Brad
Arthur
Positives from today
WE LOST !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AGAIN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He's clearly been our best half this year and played well again today.
He knows our system already and if we find a suitable fullback then I think he's a pretty good option.
What game were you watching Pato?
Norman ran hard - yep - after that he did diddly squat.
Foran is a running 5/8 - team him up with a 1/2 who is also a running half and you have another brilliant demonstration of BA as coach.
Norman does NOT have an effective kicking game which is behind Foran's mediocre kicking game.
I would rather see KELLY with Foran than Norman.
Does this give you any hints at how highly I regard Norman.
The sunshine on the eastern side. Positive. #bay66
Sandow was man of the match in Wenty.
French killed it in Wenty
Parra played well when Pauli was on the field
Foran will be with us next season and that is one less game we will see Norman.
