Burns has the best hands out of any CTW we have. For all his defensive issues, Burns is easily the best foil for Fox to get him unselfish clean ballIf we want to see the best out of JAC with some ball then i think Skelton could possibly be that guy but its just bad timing right now. I really don’t think Burns defensively can keep up with the game that well enough and thats just mainly due to all the shit tons of injuries he has had on his legs throughout his career so he kinda isn’t a preferred option either. This has been said multiple times already but they are putting Alamoti on that side to help with his defensive issues (to which showed in the Sharks first try) with some known experience edge defenders in JAC and Kikau. Remember, we are a rebuilding team so stuff with these young raw players just has to be done firstly so it works better long term. It’s frustrating but its just what has to be done
He made 15 tackles and missed two. The Wilton one and the Iro one. The Iro miss was one that can be called out as a terrible effort because that's exactly what it was, the other one is not. He still could've made a better decision but that doesn't mean he's he only bloke that gets the criticised. I can guarantee Ciraldo will be highlighting the blokes on the inside that failed to do their job far more than an Jake in a lot of these tries.You're underplaying how important missed tackles one on one are in our 20
We cant afford to have Avo at centre, smart opponents like DCE and Grant will stretch our defence and get him one on one again and againHe made 15 tackles and missed two.

You need to go back and watch these tries and just see how much time and space we give the Cronulla playmakers and how isolated we leave our edge defenders. The Shark edges are EXPECTED to score with those opportunities and if they didn't it would be down to insane defence or them fucking up. If we had created the same opportunities then I'd be expecting the likes of Averillo, Kikau, Fox, Alamoti to be scoring too.
I give up. I do not understand how you can't comprehend this. We've leaked points for years down our edge regardless who has played there and it has far more to do with what's happening on the inside rather than our edge defenders on an individual level.We cant afford to have Avo at centre, smart opponents like DCE and Grant will stretch our defence and get him one on one again and again
Lol, lets agree to disagree thenI give up. I do not understand how you can't comprehend this. We've leaked points for years down our edge regardless who has played there and it has far more to do with what's happening on the inside rather than our edge defenders on an individual level.
Everything seemed to go south for us after the Avo no try. Don't worry Critta im not bagging him for that either, that was sensational play from their fullbackIf this game was a true reflection of our teams ability, we might not win until we vs Dragons in round 9... imagine that haha...
Hopefully we can break the Belmore hoodoo in round 3 against the Tigers though.
Na I'm actually concerned by that, like how the hell did he get run down lol.Everything seemed to go south for us after the Avo no try. Don't worry Critta im not bagging him for that either, that was sensational play from their fullback
Just to confirm you'd rather have Burton than Hynes? I must be watching a different game.im pretty sure he was playing 5'8 along side cherry evans in the prime ministers aus team.. so i will take that as 4burton hynes 0
I thought teams generally only have a "Captains" run the day before a game. Flogging the players is reserved for mid pre season or a couple of days after a loss after recovery. If our main excuse for today's performance is that the players were flat after training to the point of dehydration on Saturday then Ciraldo achieved nothing out of the trial. There needs to be an investigation into this.This sounds very dumb and full of excuses but anyway. All our sides lost this weekend apart from the Tarsha Womens Cup. We have an awful record at Belmore Sports Ground, reliable rumours saying players ended up dehydrated and by the sounds of it exhausted over the last couple of days of some hard trainings to which one was only yesterday and looked to be the worst training session of the lot. We weren’t good but it obviously wasn’t meant to be. I will start to worry if we looked even worse or the same against Manly when losses actually matter.
I thought he was in for all money, i knew Kennedy was quick, but that was unbelievable.Na I'm actually concerned by that, like how the hell did he get run down lol.
Rep jersey as a centre.....PM 11 isn't a true rep game. Hynes didn't just win HB of the year he won the whole thing....Dally M player of the Year.so how many rep jerseys for hynes? im still waiting you can even throw in his halfback abilities.. i never doubted the dude and we shouldve purchased both tbh but im still waiting to see how many rep jerseys hes worn? cant mention the dally m as burton got one of those as well, before hynes lol regardless!!!
Rep jerseys at centre, that he really only got because Turbo and Latrell were injured. If Cleary was injured, Hynes would have likely been NSW and Australian half. I think Burto will improve, but at this stage there is no comparisonRep jersey as a centre.....PM 11 isn't a true rep game. Hynes didn't just win HB of the year he won the whole thing....Dally M player of the Year.
I'm just waiting till you tell me being player of the year is nothing because Ewan McGrady won the Rothmans Medal in 1991 yet he didn't play rep footy either.....(apart from representing Northern NSW v Touring Poms). We won't be getting much out of Burto, he's already wrapped up his contract extension, so what happens now isn't that relevant anymore [emoji3]
Yes Kennedy is fast and the angle wasn't as bad as it first looked but Jake should've pulled away. Seemed to accelerate okay but didn't seem to be able to stretch out and maintain his speed. I'm blaming saturdays session for everything bad in the trial lol.I thought he was in for all money, i knew Kennedy was quick, but that was unbelievable.
In the words of the late and great Tommy Raudounikis, at a post match press conference, when he was coach of cellar dwellers, Wests Magpies, years ago. when asked what can be done to improve things at the club.We been learning for the last 10 year
The players can't magically unlearn the shit they've been taught and learnt over the last years of dross. Especially not in one preseason.In the words of the late and great Tommy Raudounikis, at a post match press conference, when he was coach of cellar dwellers, Wests Magpies, years ago. when asked what can be done to improve things at the club.
TR: “Mate, I can only piss out of the dick of got”.
True Tommy style and very apt for us over the last 10 years.
