Reimis Smith in for Montoya

[Mr Invisible]

Did you watch the game? How do you know it was the opposing wingers fault for the tries? Perreira plays left wing for the Dragons but I don't know which side our guys play on

I've watch all the NSW Cup games on Foxtel / 9Now that have been telecast. Smith's defence is no better than Montoyas.

Bugger I was hoping he would be the answer. Looks like there's no quick fix to our issues

Bergamin, Lewis, Olive would be the 3 potential players to step up.

Bergmain and Lewis (like Holland) can cover halves or centre. Bergs also can play fullback or wing.
Olive can cover wing or centre.

Kids 19. Needs another 3 years. Plenty of potential.

Reimis turns 21 tomorrow.
Bergamin just turned 22 the other week.
Lewis is 22 in August.
Montoya was 22 in Feb.

Montoya just cant stay on his winger always comes infield and we get caught out,watch the storm wingers how they stay on their man even if the centre is infield as it gives the cover d time to come across

Who do you like the most out of those 3?

Foran is part of the problem though. He makes bad decisions in defence which means Hoppa and Montoya are always outnumbered.

 

[Longtimedog]

Scored another nice try today to go with last weeks 80m effort. Makes good metres coming out of our end and draws a lot penalties with his quick play the balls. He is a big body (197cm - 100kg) so want get dominated like Montoya does.

I agree been saying exactly that for a while. But has feet for hands sometimes. But need a change for Montaya.

The Storm have pace and mobility all over the edges so they are able to cover the space quickly. We have Foran and Hoppa lol.

 

[Howard Moon]

Lewis is a weapon in defence, I dare say we will see him debut at some point this season

 

[Mr Invisible]

Who do you like the most out of those 3?

1. Lewis
2. Bergamin
3. Olive

Your top 2 picks were made bitch’s yesterday, all there try’s scored on their edge.

 

[Boxer]

Why is everyone on Montoya’s back?
out of frustration I even blast him lol, but truth be told is if your centre goes infield the winger must follow.
As a winger you can’t stay out wide while the centre goes in and leaving a big hole.
That’s how every team coaches the wingers.

Only sometimes. It's all about decision making. Sometimes the centre will hit the opp by coming out of the line, particularly if there is an overlap. The winger has to make a quick decision to trust the slide to cover on the inside or to follow the centre in. That's Montoya's problem. He just can't make the decision either at all or quick enough to be effective. That's why he looks like a fool defensively. He can tackle but he just isn't there to do it in time.

That’s why there should be more communication between the two, look at the twins all they do is talk to each other.

 

[Bad Billy]

I want dutchie to continue to play hooker, and come on for JMK with 25 to go.
I’ll take anyone over Montoya atm.

Montoya doesn’t make a decision at all. He half comes in and gets caught in no mans land, between the center and winger.
Every. Fucken. Time.

This is why El Masri was one of the best.. He would just make a simple decision and just take the centre or the space between the centre and the winger. Most of the time he would shut the play down by taking the ball out of play. Still the most underrated defender I have ever seen.

 

[diddly]

Smiths defence is woeful - decision making and physical commitment - has not improved. This year he is running the ball better. Olive would be a far better option.

Well then his shit.
