Clutching at straws are we...Bullshit! Taffe covered Tracey's ass when he spilled a bomb in our ingoal. At least be factual with your dislike.

Beating a diabolical Titans outfit doesn't absolve the team of it's clear weaknesses.we win 32-0 and people here still bagging our players. SMH
JAC back in next week on the wing, Tracey needs to be FB and drop TaafeTaaffe is ass. Added nothing yesterday except for the support run try. Tracey to fullback and taaffe to Reggie's.
That's something missing consistently from the whole team at present..but is the F/Bs job. He was much improved but probably is not a long term fix for the position. Tracey on the other hand does appear to be.How many players were backing up when Mahoney made the break up the middle? One, only one, that would be Taaffe. If he's not backing up, no try.
Always a Bulldog
I've read Xerri has been missing a lot of tackles (like 5 a game) in reggies. He / Ciraldo need to fix that up before they consider him for NRLI agree with all this. If Xerri keeps improving/getting back to pre ban levels I would also have him in with Kiraz taking over from Wilson. Kiraz has been pretty good in centre & Wilson ok as well. Wilson just suffers from a smaller frame. If/when Fox is back we can’t afford both wingers to be so small when returning kicks.
On the topic of Xerri, anyone seen him play since the season commenced? How is he going?
It was against a poor opposition. We cannot we content with yesterday’s performance. We should always look to improve despite winning. JAC should be able next week and I’ll play Tracey at FB.we win 32-0 and people here still bagging our players. SMH
I’ve been saying it since preseason too. If anyone had watched Sharks in the last few years it was obvious he’s a very reliable and professional player. No nonsense, just does his job well every week.Been saying it since Tracey was signed. He is the best fullback we have at the club…… Better yardage. More speed. More dangerous coming through the middle. Classier player. Taaffe won’t catch a contested kick. He just can’t do it.
I also said if gus and Ciro want him in the 13 then he takes a half spot. I’d personally give him some time in reserve grade to find his mojo and get some rhythm. Shame Tracey came injured because I’m sure he’d have the 1 with a full preseason with the boys. Even when the ball when to him. The way he returned it and engaged the line. Very fullback like.
One thing that is for sure. He doesn’t miss out when Foxx returns.
Xerri has dropped down the pecking order tbh. He was solid in his trial games but has been average in reggies. Samrani has looked better.I agree with all this.

Yes he is! He’s been terrorising his locals Maccas!Fartrell isn’t terrorising anyone, anytime, anywhere. Kiks will bone that fat fuck.
Damn you beat me to it grrrFatrell is only terrorising the drive through staff at KFC and Maccas.
Is he playing left and is better on the right?Xerri has dropped down the pecking order tbh. He was solid in his trial games but has been average in reggies. Samrani has looked better.
I don’t think it’s that, because he had a strong game in the Sharks trial on the left. It’s partly the ball mostly going right, but also he seems to have dropped his head now reality has set in. He setup a good try yesterday though.Is he playing left and is better on the right?
He looks a bit lost atm.
He is getting jammed up with Papa running towards the corners but he isn't cutting back in. Looks too muscled and lost some agility.I don’t think it’s that, because he had a strong game in the Sharks trial on the left.

I agree. And I think your are right with cirro. He is a very stick and pick type of player which is good for player confidence. But it’s obvious Conner is the best 1 we have at the club. Safe, speedy, and a meter eater which we need. Everyone blew their load because Taaffe ran for 160m last week. But more games rather then not he runs for 120m. Tracey on the other hand will get you 170.I’ve been saying it since preseason too. If anyone had watched Sharks in the last few years it was obvious he’s a very reliable and professional player.

I’m worried about Ciro picking Taffy again for the foreseeable future just like with Perham. Look at Hayze now, well entrenched in reggies and barely good enough for that. Taffy is slightly better perhaps and he is very good positionally. Always in the right place, but tbh we need more from a fullback.
