RFM is shit
Even if you think he is shit he can’t be shitter then Elliot or Chris Smith. Surely
RFM is shit
Its the start of something good, all he needs to do is take it in his stride, get his play the balls right, hold it tight in the hits and it should be a good debut, everyone is looking forward to this guy enjoying himself.He needs to be given time in firsts ,how the fuck does c smith get picked week after week ,watch renouf make one mistake and pay will drop him to reserves
Talk to pay, duh !!!Honest question, how do I get a job like Adam Elliot and Chris Smith, turn up and do fuck all huh?
totally agree.Glad to see Ogden back in the team and Toomaga to finally get a shot.
Knowing Pay, he will put Toomaga on around the 76th min mark and then never gets picked again this year, while Elliot and Smith get every freaking opportunity in the world to shine (oops i meant to stink).
Toomaga and Ogden need as much game time for rest of the year to gain more more experience and be able to show what they are capable of.
Line breaks don't equal aggression.
He shows good aggression when he ran over the top of Smith twice!!Line breaks don't equal aggression.
Pay and his persistance with Meaney is ridiculous.. kid needs to be in reggies. Creighton or Harper deserve a chance.Wow Meaney on the wing again lol
Dean bought him; so Dean's playin him.Pay and his persistance with Meaney is ridiculous.. kid needs to be in reggies. Creighton or Harper deserve a chance.
Moral dilemma.. Crighton or Meaney... Sounds like Deano's a White chocolate man.Dean bought him; so Dean's playin him.
And then he'll change it.Dont mind this bench actually if pay gives them a good run best we have had. We might get some go forward for a change.
Stop talking sense mate- Okunbor should be on the Wing.
- Hopoate moved to left centre.
- Holland back at right centre to partner Smith and be our goalkicker.
- Meaney dropped to Reserve Grade.
To'omaga was used extremely poorly, Pay started him about 3 games in against a rep Dragons pack while he had Klemmer on the bench. To'omaga didn't even have a half of NRL experience at that stage. Yes he looked nervous during his stints, but maybe with better man management from Pay then To'omaga might've overcome it and kicked on. Pay seems to struggle massively when it comes to managing different types of players and setting our a clear role for them to execute.Plenty seem to be forgetting that without Meaney in the team atm, we don't actually have a goalkicker of any note in the 17. He's not gonna set the world on fire on the wing, but he's not gonna let anyone down either. From what I've seen he's been positionally sound.
And let's reserve our judgement on Pay's use of To'omaga til after the final whistle on Friday. A big reason behind his short stints last year were the fact he came on and made errors, and was subsequently hooked. People seem to have a pretty selective memory on here regarding certain issues.
Good luck to To'omaga and Wakeham, hope they do well.
I dunno, I'd love to find excuses for his performances last year but I can't really. I rate the fuck out of him but he was disappointing in his FG stints last year.To'omaga was used extremely poorly, Pay started him about 3 games in against a rep Dragons pack while he had Klemmer on the bench.

Wakeham is playing this week and he's a much better goal kicker than Meaney. Potentially Pay doesn't want the added pressure of kicking on him and fair enough, but he doesn't really come across as the type of player that would lack the confidence to take on the role.
Yh I just think certain players need to be managed differently and To'omaga is one of those players. He can look hesitant at times while at other times he could be terrorising defences with footwork and power.I dunno, I'd love to find excuses for his performances last year but I can't really.

Yeah he played a couple different roles eg. when picked to start, but sometimes coaches will throw someone in the deep end to see what they're made of/how they handle it. Maguire did the same with Oliver Clark at the Tigers the other week against an experienced Souths pack. To'omaga is a big, mature body with probably 100+ NSW Cup caps under his belt. I didn't see much of an issue with it. It's not like it was an 18 year old prop promoted out of Flegg and straight into the big yard starting.
