Cowboys and Broncos have looked better than a few teams. Tigers, Warriors specifically, but Dragons and Raiders are also not great. I don't even think Souths and Roosters are very good anymore. Both 1 from 3 and have only played well in patches.
Is he actually playing
People give Dez too much credit as a coach…he has never done anything without comp leading natural talents who were able to thrive & succeed despite Dez’s best efforts to sabotage the team’s performances!!
And to ensure DCE doesn’t get any 40-20’s….this could be enough to get their clunking team clicking & deflate our boys to the point they fold at brookie if it happens at a vita point in the contest…our middles have been strong in both our games while theirs have been below average…hopefully that propels us to a W
I will never forgive him for picking mbye at hooker for the 2014 grand final
For sure, it was a game in wet conditions that was most likely going to be close. I'll be unbiased and say I believe it was forward, the angle of the body didn't help though. Don't know why the nrl hasn't adapted the line that nfl use. Anyway there was still plenty of time from that point onwards as opposed to nearly losing it on the bell, We would have still had a chance to win. Which we did. All I was pointing out is that I believe if we don't change the right wing, all our great work can be spoiled from being a liability defensively. To be honest I think it was a tactical error from the opposition in both our games that they didn't target that side enough. It was even mentioned in the commentary
Reni Matua was the option if I'm correct. He was ready made for the situation.
What if the team was
It's not. Either play Jake in the halves or centre or don't play him at all, playing him on the wing is ridiculous. The forward pack isn't changing, maybe TPJ bench because his fitness looks shocking at this stage but i doubt we'd see anything else.
I like him in the centre but I thought start him on the wing and gradually get him used to tackling out wide.
Fake news ?
He has been tackling out wide already, plenty of time he defends inside the centre and has missed only 2 tackles all year. He has that sloppy play at marker that lead to the try against the Cowboys but other than that his defence has been fine. Wing is just not his position, he's going to get caught out way too much and we need a more powerful ball carrier. The answer is and always has been Naden so hopefully Baz hurries up and makes the call because we can't afford to have Naden out in the centre bombing tries because he refuses to pass the ball to JAC.
Whoopi to score after a bomb from Burton to the corner...Matt to miss the conversion
Hahahaha @ EB18
