Okay has cheekbone fracture,I think someone said 6 to 8 weeks,the season doesn’t start for another 5 months with. Bit of luck Thompson might get of because we’ve had such a shit season they might feel sorry for us,and with the quicker recovery times for injuries today who knows,positive thinking .Showed today he's got nothing. Cogger passed to no-one AGAIN when we were in the opposition 20m but he should have got more game time (unless he was injured ?). Yes we bag Lewis and I agree he's not good enough either but at least he can kick long and can come up with some decent tackles. If we start with Wakeham next year (while Green is still recovering) we're at a huge disadvantage from game 1. Might have to start with Lewis and Avo (unless we can get Burton early)
Now for the start of the season we're already without 3 players from our starting 13 in Oka, Green and Thompson How F..ked !
You mean his passes will now hit the chest of his players instead of the grass or row 3 lolI think Lewis will improve greatly under Barrett I'd like to see him and Burton as our halves to begin with provided we jag burton
Yes it really frustrates me when Lewis or any half kicks down the throat of the opposition fullback or winger. In the Souths game Lewis actually found some space with a couple of kicks before he got injured. Having a long kicking game can relieve so much pressure. As we saw against the Panthers we were kicking on the 5th from around our own 20 metre line so then every set the Panthers were back in our half early in the tackle count. Players then get gassed in defending close to their line and then have little energy in the tank for attack.Lewis has got a great long kicking game, that's fantastic, straight to the opposition winger or fullback.
But why do we always need a long kicking game, because we go nowhere in sets.
Every half currently at the club is lacking.
It's interesting you should bring this up.Frawley master class tonight
A player who needs more time in reserve grade (he still hasn't had one full season in reserve grade because of the lack of options at the club he got fast tracked from under 20s to first grade), who's surrounded by the team coming second last against the team top of the table who are both great at attack and defence, what exactly were you looking to see?
Still has more potential than that shit lewis.
Great, so you're saying all we have to do to unlock the mythical talent of Wakeham is sign the Fijian WC team...He has ability, not sure what the fuck you lot are expecting when he plays a game here and there in one of the worse sides in the NRL while his confidence has also been smashed to bits. He has got the job done in the lower grades and while playing for Fiji and I'd much rather persist with a bloke with ability that's struggling to transition to firstgrade than a bloke the size of a fucking forward with no skill.
They are both as shit as each other except Lewis has had more opportunitiesSo, is Lewis NOT surrounded by the team coming second last? Or is that only an excuse for Wakeham and somehow not Lewis?
Just Kikau.Great, so you're saying all we have to do to unlock the mythical talent of Wakeham is sign the Fijian WC team...
I see the lewis nuthuggers are fucking morons.So, is Lewis NOT surrounded by the team coming second last? Or is that only an excuse for Wakeham and somehow not Lewis?
