Michael Lichaa

[Dogs1938]

Hey guys I just wanna ask on your opinions with Michael Lichaa.. I think he's a great player and has a lot of potential but the reason he looks shit half the time is because des. When watching him at Cronulla he was a beast, used to always kick from dummy half, run for dummy half and used to gameplay. I absolutely love him. What do you guys think?

 

[ThePedigree]

Nah Des said he doesn't shackle players last night and that Mick Ennis only said that because he's a paid commentator on a platform and he is paid for an opinion!

 

[Doggies2035]

I agree he has a lot of potential only problem is des wants him to get fitter so he makes him tackle and do simple stuff. But if given a new coach watch him perform like crazy

He can't pass. In 3yrs that hasn't improved. Admittedly his running game has gotten better, i just wish when he runs it doesn't look like an accident and he runs with purpose.

I've never seen a more stunned look on a players face when he scored that try on Monday! Poor bloke couldn't believe he'd scored himself and off a run roo!

Des will say just about anything to keep the fans on his side at the moment. The pressure is on

 

[Spoonman84]

He's a absolute plodder he has the worst pass of any first grade hooker in the history of the NRL, no pace, no vision and no kicking game. Only thing he provides is tackling and even then they are rarely dominate tackles.

 

[B-Train]

He's just not very good and most of that has to fall on Lichaa and Mbye for not working on their game and improving.

Both players possibly would have flourished under better coaches but at the end of the day they're the ones that deserve almost all of the blame for being so shit and getting worse year after year.

Des limits his ability to pass well

 

[steeliz]

Has plenty of potential but his strengths do not fit into the Desi Gameplan. Des wants a tackling machine like Matt Ballin and all the tackling Lichha has done blunts his attack.

Under a different coach he could develop into a real weapon, but if he stays at the Dogs he will have wasted his career.

 

[Bulldog_4_Life]

Does Des tell him to not pass of the ground? Lichaa isn't the first hooker to be coached by Des and while the others haven't looked spectacular none of them have looked garbage other than Lichaa.

 

[Phalangist]

He has potential and I don't think he is as bad as some make out. Ennis was shit for years before he left

Are we talking about the same Michael Lichaa? I'm sorry, but he lacks the most basic skill required from a hooker, efficient passing off the ground. It's been a failed 2 year experiment. Yes, he's had a couple of good games for us but in reality, he's just short of the mark.

 

[COVENS]

I never watched him at the Sharks did he pass off the ground there?

 

[doggieaaron]

Shithouse service no thanks but hes a plodder so des will re sign

 

[Bulldog_4_Life]

He is the least effective tackler in the whole comp

 

[David holland]

The coach has fucked him

 

[Papa Emeritus]

He seems like a likeable guy but he just isn't a very good player. His passing is is really slow and ordinary, which no matter what Des has done to hinder his play style, should be of a much higher standard.

He makes a good amount of tackles, but anyone can do that. Even if Des let him do whatever he wants, he doesn't seem to have the raw skill to be able to effectively play what is in front of him. I would honestly prefer we stick Mbye there than re-sign him.

 

[Malpass]

When he signed I read that he was a running dummy half and quite quick. But he's got no speed whatsoever , has more of a darting running style.

I was more impressed watching woolford on the weekend against the cutters. Made a break from dummy half that set up a try in the second half plus his passing off the ground was impressive and hitting lewis who was quite deep at times.

Only problem is woolford is quite small in statue like his dad was but he didn't go missing in defence put a good hit on luciano leilua. But then again NRL is a different level and he would struggle at the moment.

Not really. He was more agile and sorta used to draw the markers and use short passes.
