reliability In the air, better kick returns then meaney.What would Hoppa add on the wing?
It’s more about strengthening our starting 13.

I like Meaney. But he has no power. He isnt an attacking weapon. He certainly isnt on Allen's level for FB. I dont remember him having opportunites with the ball in hand near the try line Yesterday. I think he was good defensively. That near try DWZ off Allan's pass, if that was Meaney that didnt score instead of DWZ, Meaney would still be copping a flogging on here for it. DWZ, nothing said because it wasn't really on any way.Meaney did nothing wrong in the game. However wingers in the modern game are strike weapons, able to find try line through a strong defensive lines, act as a destructive extra forward when needed. I just don't see this Meaney.
Hoppa on the wing? yeah right!I think most people believe both DWZ and Meaney need to go and many are of the same opinion about Hopa. We couldn't win a comp with any of these 3 in our backline. Okunbor will come into the side when recovered. Maybe bring Schoupp in now and push Hopa to the wing like someone else suggested. Hopa's too slow in both attack and in D to play centre. Offers nothing really. DWZ too unreliable. Meaney's too weak. He can't make any ground which is half of his job as a winger from kick returns etc. He gets pushed back just about every time he takes a carry (actually loses metres)
Schoupp was ordinary but you missed the 20 mins when Dietz was on? That’s when Schoupp was on and played really well....Schoupp and wakeham for me were very ordinary,I misssd the 20 odd minutes that deitz was on the field,my son told me he played very well,and has a better passing game than jmk or katoa.
Well he has this season to prove everybody wrong. I can't see that happening, and I'm sure the Dogs have his money earmarked for JAC. Off to the West Tigers I would think.So this year’s lower grade saviour is Dietz? We always seem to have a winger that everybody hates and it seems DWZ has taken on that mantle.
If you are referring to DWZ I'm pretty sure he got an extension and won't be off-contract until 2022 so we’d have both guys on our books at least for a year.Well he has this season to prove everybody wrong. I can't see that happening, and I'm sure the Dogs have his money earmarked for JAC. Off to the West Tigers I would think.
I still recall us beating XXXXXXX a few years ago and the were some exploded loads over YYYYYY.Exactly right.
I still recall us beating Penrith in a trial match a few years ago and the were some ecploded loads over JMK.
And now look,
Everyone wants him sacked.
If he held that form, they'd still be doing thatExactly right.

Everyone has a different opinion of this player and that player and that is the beauty of "an opinion". Nothing set in concrete, simply a point of view based on the way that particular person interprets what they saw. Diversity is a nice thing and if everyone thought the same and said the same what a boring old conversation that would be.Anyone thinking a footy club supporter site would be any different has rocks in their head.
You have a glaring deficiency in the team and a new player comes along and has a good game in that position-fans get excited.
You have a player who isn't performing-fans turn on him.
TK no different to any other NRL fan base, Cricket, NBL, Manchester, Liverpool, etc.
NRL fans more critical bc you have non-performing players taking good money out of your precious salary cap and then it gets critical that you can't compete with the top teams.

Cotric was only on the wing in defence, he played centre in attack and did fuck all apart from running over the sideline....Cotric was on wing today and Meaney on centre’s. Which suggests to me Burton at 5/8 and Averillo in centres
Thank you! glad someone else is talking sense!BULLSHIT! you must be joking, the guy can handle, fullback, winger or center positions and don't forget his a pretty handy goal kicker as well he's pulled of some good solid tackles, if you watched the game today you would have seen a great ball and tackle by him 10metres out from the line, he's got safe hands under the high ball, when he has the opportunity he pins his ears back and has great speed, he sticks to his wing in defense unlike DWZ on the other wing who let to 2 identical trys in on his wing today by being out of position & dropping the ball for a knock on in his own quarter and running 60mtrs sideways across the field the passing it to force our player into touch, Meaney did nothing wrong today so who do you prefer on the wing? well it doesn't matter because I think you'll find that TBAZ will stick with Meaney
