Our wingers are crap

[Wearnze]

Laumape and Vatuvei, and Hurrell are all big, strong outside backs. Not everyone has good outside backs. They have really good outside backs, as well as the Fish, and look at how they are going along. Wingers dont have to be the best player in your team. They have to be consistent. Stanley, Thompson and Brown are all consistent. Can't ask much more of them.

Are you serious ? Just cause thompson and brown are average that doesn't equal consistent and solid as some people keep saying ,thompson was very poor today ,stanley is the only guy who deserves his spot

I must have been watching a completely different game. Thompson was excellent.

Hard to say he was excellent. But definitely played with heart and didn't back down and tried to make up for his errors (errors in which most wingers tend to make when against Vatuvei in the air). He was solid.

wouldn't say excellent but no where near as bad as people are saying on here, it's like the t-rex bagging all over again. he has had one bad game in 6, in his first year in the nrl

ok if you were describing what skills each position needed to someone who knew nothing about league......what would you tell them were the skill set a Winger needed?

1. pace.........Thompson has none
2. safe under the high ball....fail
3. defuse cross field kicks.....fail
4. finish of attacking chances.....nope again

don't get me wrong he gives 110% but heart will only get you so far.....skill and ability needs to be there as well, but for Corey its lacking....he could be a solid QLD cup player and thats about his limit

In all fairness to inu, it's pretty hard to look good in the centres if your halves have no idea and you get no quality ball. From what little opportunity he had , l believe he went ok today. I'd rather inu than Thompson

i have to agree with this

ill take you back to the break thompson made down the right edge, if we had a quicker winger he scores indefinitely there but thompson was way too slow couldnt see any thing special- just a mediocre kick

there was a bloke coming across in front of him, hence why he slowed down a bit and put the kick in, he also almost scored if not for tomkins knocking the ball out and it should have been our feed for that scrum

 

[no1bulldog]

Thompson is a little bit like Gavin "Mo" Lester just without the speed

 

[Bob dog]

Those Warriors were tough today, our wingers made a few mistakes but are still on a learning curve, Thompson should of had a left step and its Mitch's first game back.

Ding ding ding bingo we have a winner. Im with this guy. Lets wait til our wingers lose a game for us to change them lol. Talk about being reactivr over proactive!

 

[Tegga]

yes i saw that but he left me wondering if more could have been done i think there could have been

looks like the kick came off the boot awkwardly, he was likely trying for a grubber back inside llike reynolds' to tolman and miss-hit it

so we put inu in and then lose, what happens then?

This thread could more reasonably be titled "Our wingers are below average, but that's fine given their minimum salary status, which allows us to assemble a monster pack on big salaries."

If there is half the kennel members calling for ur head then umm houston we have a problem. Id hate to be around the day that my club starts rewarding mediocrity and selecting players over others due to "personal issues". I dont get along with all my work mates but i try to be professional and get on with the job at hand. If u can honestly say we dont have one of the bottom 3 wing combos in the nrl than il give it away. Id even take goodwin back over brown and thompson and that is saying something.

Why do we have to lose for mr negative. Stop being mr australian of the year and defend every "average" player we have in our side. We all support the club to win the bloody comp not reward mediocrity. Were we losing in 2012 when he played left wing???

 

[Baseball Furies]

yep we jagged this one.....against the top teams they will target our wingers and kill us, enjoy today but plan for tomorrow

^^^^
This is spot on.

You'll prob also tell me josh jackson had a blinder today and didnt get dominated in every tackle or hit up correct???
oh but the warriors are big boys and he can be forgiven coz we are playing under 10s and there is always next week.
