    The Jake Conundrum

    I raised the Jake "Conundrum" about 2 years ago under the title of "Jake - Mr In-Between". The issue of his seriously declining leg speed must be pretty obvious even to Jake. This raises other issues in terms of his contract worth and his position in the 17. Re the latter, I think there is only...

    Coach Seibold thoughts so far.... so good

    I think that is the secret sauce to how we go one step better in 25. Maybe several steps better. I really like young Navale and this new guy Patolo who has already played a bunch of NRL games. If Seibold can integrate these type guys into our monster pack and fix the obvious issues in our...

    Coach Seibold thoughts so far.... so good

    He certainly deserves a lot of credit for where we ended up in 24 particularly with the forwards that he inherited. So all cudos to him. However I do believe he failed on several very specific objectives that were well within his control. One was to reorganise our right side defence and the...

    That's a good piece of work SE1. Lets hope Seibold has some other options. If that is our "go-to" pack of forwards in 25 then I would say absolutely no chance of making the 8. That list would be Easily the slowest and most immobile pack in the comp. I think Seibold has to take some chances with...

    Bateman

    Fair opinion. I just think he is that tough aggressive no compromising player we currently miss in our pack. Obviously he has that same style off the field and up against massive ego's like Stewart and Benji i can understand why there were issues. I don't think that will be the case with Siebold.

    Yep I think it's there or thereabouts for our middles in 25 plus Taukeiaho. Not a bad bunch and might actually do the job over 27 grinding rounds. Be a good group to "blood" a couple of the young up and commers. Jake and croker the interesting challenges for the coach.

    Bateman

    I think Bateman would b a huge coup for us in that left backrow. Would have preferred a good young middle but sounds like the club has a different strategy in that department.

    I like your thinking and direction here @Ryan. I doubt however we will ever see Jake an Lachlan as reserves. I am still big on loyalty and allegiance (yes I know) so I would not be interested in ANY of the Fainus back at the club. I wont elaborate any further.

    That's fast. Tolu still the best at 10.56 Looks like we have the fastest 3 guys in the comp. Lets see if we have game plans to match!!

    So far off the pace

    Spot on Maxta. My frustration is that this problem been around now for several seasons. Still not fixed. That's not good coaching. Not a good sign for 25.

    So far off the pace

    Yep good call. Definitely need to change a few things to go a few steps further in 25. Be interesting to see what the coach comes up with. We all have front row tickets!!!

    Croker

    Both lachlan and jake are my two favourite players in the side. Unfortunately they will be the same two players with the biggest decisions hanging over their heads for 25. Don't envy Seibold one bit but I think the required changes are becoming more obvious each day.

    So far off the pace

    Bear there was absolutely no doubt in my mind that Reuben had / has serious defensive issues out wide. Just from watching the games. The more intriguing question in my mind is what Seibold will do about it for next year. Persevere? Change? I would definitely go the latter ala Zac Lomax and shift...

    Move Heaven and Earth...

    Sadly I agree. I have posted several times on big Taniela. Love the guy but he is unfortunately not our man in the middle. He cannot carry or inspire the team when the chips are down. He is not a leader. He is at best a support act and even that is inconsistent. For example, he was MIA for the...

    Lehi the 1 Turbo centre

    I think Hoppa to FB is an inevitable move just a question of when you press the trigger. Lots of benefits here. Firstly just in preserving Tom as far less running required at centre v FB. Also he seems much more comfortable at Centre...less pressure less focus?? Definitely running like his old...

    Move Heaven and Earth...

    Yes pretty obvious for anyone who has watched any of our games last couple of seasons. We desperately need a dominant mobile middle forward (or two). Even more obvious after watching the Tonga v Aus game last night. Taniela is our main go-to-middle and he looked seriously pedestrian and way out...

    Move Heaven and Earth...

    This quote if accurate says it all. Not a good mindset. I would be looking elsewhere for our middle bull.

    Bateman... no, no, no, no, no

    We might agree to disagree on this one @Ryan. Yes he looked somewhat out of shape but I thought he played well and had a a really good presence and involvement out there. Harassed the hell out of the opposition in defence and took the ball up with gusto. Not sure his stats were all that good but...

    [Resurrected] Paseka

    I think best to stop assessing Taniela based on expected or potential performance and start assessing on actual performance. Best for all our collective health and frustration. Based on actual performance he is pretty good and would definitely be in my 17 each week. He is just not that leader of...
