We need a strong ball running 2nd rower

[djt]

young hindmarsh??? Hindmarsh use to rip the defence apart like no tomorrow he was a great tackle breaker.. Warburton has showed zero in attack never busted one tackle or one offload ... He is sub par at best!!!!

exactly!!!

Id love to see Mateo wearing the blue &white jersey, And with Parra re-signing Hindmarsh for around $400k, Hayne $500k, & signing Poore for something like $350k & Shakelton for good coin. We just may be able to make an attractive offer for 2011. Not to mention they want to re-sign Mortimor & with the season they have had I'm sure some of the other players would be looking for a pay rise.

x2 Would luv him playing in blue n white

im hoping martin tapau from the 20s develops into a damaging 2nd rower.. it would have been nice if we had a look at Dane Laurie too...

second row
daaaaahhhhhhhhh

 

[magdog]

second row
daaaaahhhhhhhhh

Warburton,Paea,Gordon,Ryan,Halatau,Harrison,Lee T etc. all playing 2nd row.
You couldn't see him at 5/8th with his ball skills out to Morris/Goodwin/Idris, hmmm daaaaahhhhhh.

Our weakness is creativity in nos. 6, 12-11 and bench. Kimmorley, Stagg and Ennis are fine. Eastwood is gone now. Can't carry both warburton and ryan ion second row. Too similar. Same with hickey, hodgson and armit up front. Not enough variety. Someone else in the forum said Roberts would be a great bench player. In a perfect world, D Mortimer at 6 and Roberts off the bench at key points would be good. As for next 7? Blake Green reminds me of that guy Greg Mackey that we signed in the late 80s to replace Mortimer. You really need to sign or make a star there. Putting a journeyman won't work.

We tried the No 7 journeyman in Holdsworth and it flopped dismally.

I'm tipping he will see some first grade next year.

Very exciting prospect, our best in the 20's by far this year

Kevvy said he will be training with the FG squad during the off-season as well as a couple of others.

number 12

number 12

LOL. Giant HATES Ryan.

LOL. Giant HATES Ryan.

he is only in the team cause he is our captain he hasnt shown anything else tbh and makes to many errors for a man with his experience

Got to agree with all the comments suggesting we need a hard running and creative backrower.

We really need the second phase play, Parra showed on friday night how dangerous it is. Buddy Gordon and Eastwood have been consistantly bending the line all season, with Eastwood adding offloads, we need an adequate replacement for him - Buddy stands out at the momment.

Also agree with the Andrew Ryan comments - he has been below best for at least 3 seasons now but it is a bit of a jam because he is club captain if you drop him it could lead to other issues such as a disharmony in the team. Something to think about

 

[Chicharito]

hopefully paea and/or halatau can help us out in that department

they can get over it they are grown men bk or l patten to replace him if he is still not performing by round 10 imo

I have been thinking about this since the eels game.
Im sorry to say,but we miss sonny bill big time. Think of what he would of done to half the parra scum team.
Those cute offloads to put josh or jamal away for a try.

I know we have a good team and all that, but the x-factor he brought to our team was incredible, and i know he would of put hayne/moi moi and clan on their back side.

But as we all know, the idiot lost it all by doing a fricken mundine.

I miss him, and i wouldnt mind the club talking to him in the near future.
He is too good to be lost to Rugby League.

P.S. Id rather he come back to us then to another team, cause that would really hurt us supporters. EVen if you think it wont, trust me it will.

No doubt his talent on the field was exceptional but remember the clubs motto:

"It's the Club first, Team second and the Individual third."
