Classic case of panicing in defence when he doesn't need too.The way this **** rushed off his wing when the second rower had it , guy has zero idea
Why don’t we try Holland and Smith combo again...Classic case of panicing in defence when he doesn't need too.
Holland's giving him fuck all help though.
Hence I reckon Holland to bench to replace Lichaa, move CHN inside of Okunbor, and bring in another second rower like RFM.
We get so fatigued from defending, that our decision making and execution in attack is woeful. That’s also the reason our support play is non existent, if they weren’t so gassed they’d be pushing up in support, so on the rare occasion someone breaks the line or gets an off load away they can capitalize on it.He copped some sh!t passes against Souths, can’t hold that against the young bloke. Thought he did some tough carries coming out our own half that warrants acknowledgement.
What cracks me up is no one said sh!t against the storm when he steamrolled Cameron Smith twice and ran for 200m+ and all of a sudden, he’s the issue? Seriously, reality is, we are still building and these guys need experience.
I was at the game and saw some obvious problems:
Holland ball hogs.
Lichaa’s service and game awareness was poor.
We reverted to a lot of one out footy inside attacking zones.
What happened to the expansive style we utilised against Wests Tigers and Storm?? Vanished.
Lol don't start me on this. How on earth Pay thought it was a good idea to split these two up is beyond me, I can't find a logical reason to even consider it.Why don’t we try Holland and Smith combo again...
I was trying to figure it out after the game thought maybe 50 game Holland’s experience would help the other side but then realised he was replaced by the more experienced Hopoate so fucked if I know why we went away from it. Maybe Hopoate can’t play one side of the field ....Lol don't start me on this.

I said this when you were on your 2 month ban lol.Lol don't start me on this. How on earth Pay thought it was a good idea to split these two up is beyond me, I can't find a logical reason to even consider it.
Sure Holland has issues in D but he had struck up a decent combo with Smith.Lol don't start me on this. How on earth Pay thought it was a good idea to split these two up is beyond me, I can't find a logical reason to even consider it.
That’s looking through rose colored glasses, love your positivity but let’s not be delusional. Vautuvei would pick up and carry OkunborI love seeing Okunbor with some momentum and the ball in hand. But his handling can be attrocious. He's a monster to stop though and when he has a good day it's a massive help. So I don't know if I want him dropped or not. He's got shades of vatuvei about him.
Hoppa looks fine playing fullback on either side of the field, surely centre won't be an issue?I was trying to figure it out after the game thought maybe 50 game Holland’s experience would help the other side but then realised he was replaced by the more experienced Hopoate so fucked if I know why we went away from it.

He’s been solid in the centre this season but he had some shockers there last year. Was that a different side?Hoppa looks fine playing fullback on either side of the field, surely centre won't be an issue?
Played right side last season also. Think it was more an issue of our poor defensive system leaving too much time and space on the edges for the attack. A combo of Montoya, Hoppa and Foran also didn't have anywhere near the speed or lateral movement to cover that much space effectively and a single bad decision was continually punished.He’s been solid in the centre this season but he had some shockers there last year. Was that a different side?
What do you do though, we’re devoid of options.
CHN to centre and Holland to the wing is an option?
I don’t know man, Harper is not ready and Crichton and Montoya are hopeless...
