I wouldn’t call Jake a big bopper. He doesn’t bend the line at all. His legs ain’t thick or move quick enough making him an easy tackle. Aloiai seems back in form this year. Just needs to have his head screwed on properly.
I think players can train to have an offload. Also when you slow down, you have to play smarter. Learn to play the ball quicker. Stop using the player you just tackled to lift yourself up.
The speed of the game nowadays make his type of player a liability.
Brig back Aloia for Burbo and I’ll be a happy camper.
Suprised Talau played wing and not Garrick since Garrick has the speed and Talau has the strength.
Jake has no impact that’s the problem. He and Burbo don’t know what a tackle bust or an offload is. Jazz is so much better at first receiver. The ball moves so much quicker.
I’m happy to lose Turbo so we can get rid of his bros. They have no idea what a linebreak or offload is. And they are too slow in defence. Prediction Turbo misses half the season from injury.
The storm know how to pick new players. They are all hungry and desperate to win no matter the...
Harper? He has less speed and strength than Garrick. Both our centres lack strength, and footwork to be good centres. Turbo would be great but he’s always injured even at fullback.
Only in the team to make his brothers happy. Sick of Jake giving away 6 agains. Bound to get sin binned. Jake and Ben do not win the ruck both in attack or defence. That’s the big issue with this team. Last week Cowboys were able to make easy metres even though we dominated possession because...
Loved our attack.
Did not like how Cowboys made easy metres even when we dominated possession. This was a problem last year as well. We are not controlling the ruck on defence.
Yes, Burbo needs to be dropped. He is as slow as Jake but can’t tackle like him.
