He was great trials till he fucked up in that 10 min period against sharks and hasn’t been the same since. Confidence is shot and overplaying his hand. Will def need to play nsw cup and regain his confidence cause he was a lost cause against parra

He will never be the same again

Honestly didn’t need hindsight to know Taffe was a dud signing. Watched him play live last year. Far too light. Doesn’t worry the opposition at all. Bring Tracey in ASAP and if that doesn’t work give Crichton a chance. To soon for young Papali to come into a loosing team.

 

[Doggfather]

He will be the first to be dropped this week.

Taaffe should be giving unlimited massages with happy endings to Addo Carr this week for the ridiculous pass he threw to him.

Brainless rabbit.

 

[Kempsey Dog]

Tracey should be fullback

I would like to see him replace Burton at 6.

 

[maroondog72]

He should be dropped for the pass to JAC alone. Not so long ago he would have copped a smack in the mouth from a teammate in the change sheds after the game for throwing that pass.

That’s a pretty good call IMO.

1. Crichton
2. Kiraz
3. Xerri
4. Burton
5. Wilson / Skelton
6. Tracey
7. Sexton
Could struggle with defensive combinations, but this is the best we can do in attack imo

My team as well

My team as well

We got to try something different and get some power running, enthusiasm and "fun" back into their game. If CC can bring a cross between Potter's ad lib and his Penrith defence then we might pull it together.

 

[Moedogg]

In other words....he was Taffe to watch.

 

[Tassie Devil]

People honestly expect CC to change it up after 1 match? Not going to happen.

He'll remain fullback and rightly so as CC clearly wants him to start there so have to give him a fair crack

 

[Hound Dog]

He done alright besides that 1st error.

 

[Moedogg]

He looks like he's playing the childrens cat and mouse game when returning the ball, scampering around, looking for openings and trying to duck under defenders.

 

[ddt192]

Slot Tracey tf in.

Taffe to watch with Taffelon hands.

I'm not sold on Kiraz as a center. I think it benefits the team more if we play Xerri in the centers and use Kiraz and Skeletons yardage to come out of our own end. Wilson unfortunately misses out.

agree, get another big body to help with yardage. wilson is too small

 

[Philmus]

hopefully taaffe is just keeping the seat warm for tracey

 

[Raff]

Ciraldo very resistant to changing players. Very late in the season hey may replace Taafe with Tracey. Burton will unfortunately be our 6 for years to come.
