Miss Lomaz and Brown , Lomaz may be slight loss as yes he did run 200m a gams as for Brown he was spasmotic at best , seldom ran more than 20m a game all he primarely did was pass the ball on.
yes every now and then he would something , mostly just passing the ball , when moses was out injured and Brown was asked to stepup and lead the team we went nowhere as he went missing , try and argue that
How did the fowards go when Moses was out and they expected Brown to anything I mean it's not a one man show here as even when Moses came back eithbBrown the team still lost go figure.
Bottom line here is Pezet and Simonsson aren't in the same ball park talent wise vs Brown and Lomax they aren't in the same area code.How many times you think you'll see Pezet cut a hard running back rower in half ? Or Simonsson winning games like Lomax had the ability to do.
Thats the problem here you can't expect miracles from players who 1 don't have the same talent level and 2 just aren't as good pure and simple and there's no magic dust JR is sprinkling that's c hanging that fact.
listen , it now about how big you are in the fight its how big the fight is in you , as for Pezet he has more tries and try assist than Brown had for the 10 games , if you remember 2 years ago they killed Moses a speed bump look at him now , I agree about Bailey , he may not be a Lomax but he doent make too many mistakes either
as for our forwards they are all up and coming forwards they will mature , they held their own against Manly and Broncos , if we played the storm now the would be anywhere near that high , we have the ability to beat any team on paddock
Well you fcuked up everything in that post....I may as well bring up the fight in the dog as well.
See your still missing it.
The recruitment was concentrated in the middles and 6 we landed none of thee above.When your coach mentions how good and how important the recruitment is and the mentioned spots aren't filled your a weaker side despite what is up n coming.
Speaking of up n coming how long does this take when matched up with Moses's prime hence why losing Lomax and DB magnifies this issue right now you have to maximise the mentioned prime losing DB and Lomax lessens the chances of doing the mentioned and not upgrading the talent in the recruitment areas weakens the side and the mentioned chances that's the issue I see with this side right now.
how did I fuck that up ? Poppa
"listen , it now about how big you are in the fight its how big the fight is in you" ,
I think the analogy you were trying to use was "the size and the fight of the dog"
"2 years ago they killed Moses "
"he has more tries and try assist than Brown had for the 10 games"
The comparison to Brown to my way of thinking was odious!
But hey I just happen to believe Brown was a wonderful player for Parra with the exception of his final year....playing with a torn ACL and being burnt out trying to be everything to what everybody wanted in the absence of Moses.
Unquestionably the best defensive 5/8 in the game and he was no slouch in attack when Moses was actually able to play. Throw in his form for the Kiwi's after a long break and the difference between Pezet and him....really is chalk and cheese!
Yes these are losses Coryn but not as big as you might think. Bailey ran for 244 metres last week and found his front a lot, if he can keep that up consistently then tick. DB didn't play for half of last year. Papali was actually very good in defence just didn't offer a lot in attack but we played well regardless. Pezet just has to improve his defence, that's the bottom line. We definitely miss the aerial threat, I was hoping Samrani could maybe fill that void from centre somewhat. We are 2/3 and our 3 best players are not at their best atm. Moses, Iongi and Ryley. Need to improve sure, but certainly not panic stations
Bailey been fantastic the first 3 games but let's not kid ourselves here he's not Lomax.
Papali made the b3st of his opportunity but make no mistake he's not in the same stratosphere as a player DB is in attack of defense.
Samrani correct he's been good also but what we have lost talent wise we haven't replaced and we just haven't quite got the talent to match it with the best.Even though we beat Brisbane showing real grit I thought that first 20 we looked like boys playing men I no everyone saw that and the game was looking ugly.
Melbourne yet again completely outclassed Dragons also exposed a soft underbelly.
I look for indicators all off season and first contact and physicality in the middle was one of those markers.It's why I mentioned over a month ago I thought Sam Moa was a key component fixing that clearly we haven't.
Dont get me wrong here JR is doing a good job for what he has and I'll give him that but this team is devoid of talent in key areas.Spine players middle fowards and outside backs.We haven't replaced DB we have a soso replacement for Lomax.Still a steep hill to climb.
Yes he's no Lomax but Lomax wasn't massively effective in the air last year either. I think you're underestimating the talent we have within our young squad, a lot of these guys are learning how to play 1st grade still. Our middle defence was extremely weak early last year and improved dramatically., guys like Kelma were dreadful early on but really improved while Ryles kept them accountable.
