WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH WENTY?

With the roster we have this year I thought Wenty would have been 1 of the better performing teams in the NSW Cup. Whilst they are performing badly there will never be pressure on the 1st Grade team no matter how they perform.

  • Like first grade, the team struggle to catch, pass and complete sets.  Last game Wenty only completed at around 30% (6 from 18) sets in the first half.  The energy spent in doing the extra tackles worn the team down in the second half. 

    It is very hard for any team to win if you have less then 50% of the ball and don't have around 80% completions.  Like first grade Wenty haven't been able to do this.

    The energy, effort, line speed, wrestle and ability is there, just need to complete sets, kick to the corner and build pressure.  I watched last weekends game and I don't remember Wenty completing any sets and kicking to the corner due to how bad our completions were.  To be only down by 6 points at half time was a credit to how strong the team is. 

    When Robson, King, Tuha and Alvaro return they will be a lot better.  Edwards will probably come into this team as well which will help.  Now that Smith has returned we should see an improvement. 

  • Not much.
  • first thing first what s wrong with us

  • I think, us, as fans believe our players are better than others. It's probably because we spend the off season talking about them and keeping up with their progress etc. We don't take notice others (well not to the same extent) and get this false impression that the players we read about are good when the truth is they are average at best.

"How is it a lie? We take up his option in the top 30 and then the coach plays him where it best suits the squad? If that's reserve grade perfect.  If its not then it means that Doorey, Moretti, Brown etc haven't kicked on the way we'd hope. Plenty…"

"Would love to see Barnett at the Eels.
He's the closest player defensively to Beau Scott in the current game (imo), and those players are so few are far between.
They are so valuable to the defensive line & structure.
Obviously would be preferable…"
