Trent Barret to shift Averillo on the wing and bring Lewis in.

[djdeep4172]

DWZ out for x2 weeks. Averillo on the wing. Lewis at 6 and Wakeham on the bench. Strong rumour happening, board meeting on Monday to release rep forward for Burton.

Round three Burton called it weeks ago or rumours are tumours.
Let’s wait and see ,
I’m sure Napa is gone if you were the coach lol

 

[JUNKYARD DOGS]

And Flanagan links up with Jake literally 0 times all game. There's something massively wrong and Baz has to address it asap.

This.
Hard to get in the game with the attack we are playing at the moment.

 

[BlackJackBulldog]

Is that Brett or Josh Morris?

Yes

 

[dogzofwar]

He barely touched the ball as theyve been playing wet weather footy with 1 out runs to forwards (that were getting rolled) which takes his running game out of it. Flanno running the show.
We played no expansive footy past two rounds which doesn’t help his cause.
Throw him on the wing and his confidence will be shot to shit and might aswell let him sit in reserve grade and bring in Lewis.....

He needs to be around the ball as a half should always be first or second receiver not waiting for the ball to come to you I have to disagree about the weather doesn’t help his style i understand what you’re saying but that’s no excuse for not being involved

I'm totally confused with our attack...not sure if it's not working because our forwards are getting smashed, teething problems, players aren't executing or we're just shit from coaching right down to the players lol.

Looking at the new spine individually I think they are talented and “should” work. But clearly aren’t combining well at all, haven’t seen Allen to a fucking thing in attack, Avo’s running game has not been tapped into. Flanagan is pick of the bunch but we are not linking up at all.
Something needs to be done and that’s in Baz’s court.
IMO we can’t change the spine at this stage, will do more worse than good. What we do need to look at is our go forward, there simply is none.

 

[stinkypinky]

Why not
Lewis to lock
Jacko to 6
Avo to centre
Cotric to wing
Utai to hooker
Holdsworth to bench

Don’t forget jarrod hickey

 

[BULLDOG 4 LIFE]

DWZ hasn’t been too bad this year if anything he has been pretty good!

At least DWZ gives 100% each game. He needs to sharpen his skills but you can never doubt his effort

He can't play on the ball because that's literally Flanagan's role. Flanagan plays through the middle third with Allan and Jake playing short sides. To this point it is yet to work as Flanagan is WAY too dominant and the other playmakers have been suffocated out of the game.

I think we need a dry game to confirm everything you said

Yeah, this. Or... Avo is just a deer in the headlights and needs to fuck of back to reggies until his balls drop.

Entirely possible, not unusual for a young player to struggle and go into his shell, even more so in a shit side.

 

[Nasheed]

Dear @Nasheed, mate I know you want to attain cult status on the Kennel. You don’t need multiple identity’s liking and arguing with yourself.

Just study old mate Isaac, an absolute natural...

Again with the accusations

 

[Bazildog]

I actually think Jake is a prospect. But with COVID and last years disrupted competition and our shit roster/management issues/ coaching staff etc he has been dragged into a role probably a season to early.

We are only damaging him by forcing it, that is why I suggested Hopa @6 until Burton arrives. Put Jake back and bring him up on and off at 14 to build his confidence. Otherwise we might burn him. And then he will turn up at the Rooters or Storm and be nurtured properly into a gun player that comes back and fucks us.

 

[Bazildog]

Wtf?? I have not accused you or youboys or the other guys of anything bra..

I know that’s a halfback role I’m saying it’s his job to get his hands on the ball to create something out on the edges but I do agree with you about flanno hogging the ball

 

[CrittaMagic69]

I'm not sure if it would make that much difference, this was something I noticed during the trial and was slightly concerned then. Wakeham and Allan had basically no involvement in attack unless we ran a long sweeping play. Most of the time they were just hanging back on the short side totally inactive and the defence just had to track Flanagan.

 

[_G-Dog_]

Isaac belongs on the Rorter$ forum..

 

[Kurrupt78]

I wonder if sports bet has a market for who will touch the ball more next week between Flanno and Lewis?! LOL. Especially on the last tackle.

 

[Rassayri]

DWZ out for x2 weeks. Averillo on the wing. Lewis at 6 and Wakeham on the bench. Strong rumour happening, board meeting on Monday to release rep forward for Burton.

The forwards are the main problem they are not laying a platform for the rest of the team
