Wrong bench

Richie goes off our bench is exposed. Not enough big men. We have to play up tempo now. Hope BA rethinks his bench in the future.

  • Are you saying our forward pack is too small.  How dare you say that.  No Moeroa, no Pauli, no Lussick, no Junior Paulo & no Edwards".  It must be the smallest pack ever!  My concerns highlighted in my blogs "Our Small Pack & Our Small Pack - Part 2", is hitting home. 

    • It's bloody frustrating Dave. We honestly pick the worst bench in the comp. is it any wonder our standing on the ladder.I don't rate Newcastles pack but their outside backs are outstanding. You'd think our squad would be the biggest we can field to hinder their strengths in the backline. What would i know though.
  • That's exactly why Degois has to go. Having Tep and/or Pauli would be much better for our team. Not to mention we don't need to hookers anyway!!!!!
  • I'm listening on the radio while the kids use the TV. The commentators have been praising the bench, especially Terepo and De Gois. Same game?
    • Camo come around to my house and watch it next week.
    • Yeah, you know you've got problems when the Eels are playing live and the Xbox takes priority.
      Part of me was happy not to watch. Listening was painful. Not sure I would have coped. Sounded like we only just hung on.
      A win is a win though. Bearing the Knights in Newcastle isn't easy.
  • Can't count for concussions, the rule needs to be changed by the NRL to be abke to carrt an 18th man for concussions.
    • Agree Ham.What is the new interpretation anyway? If you have wobbly boots, you cannot come back on? Matai would have played a lot of 10-minute games if that rule was in  the past.

    • I think if the concussion is caused by foul play you definitely should be able to use your 18th man.
    • Agree. They need to allow the extra man now.

      Take the Morgs one where he was hit high in Tigers match. The guy cops a penalty we are short a player for 40mins .

      Again today short a player on bench for 60mins? NRL is a big business about time they make the change and allow both teams an even chance.

"Some players need to get sacked from a club and risk losing it all before they really knuckle down and put in the work.  Why did he get sacked, was it lack of discipline for footy and training or off field issues?"
