Guler 35 mins
Kerr 35 mins
LPT 35 mins
JH 17 mins

I suppose if you look at that, Egan and Stewart didn't do too well either.

The main job of forwards in the modern game is in defence. Our forwards did their job last week (and most weeks this year).

 

[BekB]

Leilua is back from suspension and has taken his place.

Yes where is Halangahu has he been dropped. Absolutely ridiculous how he doesn’t get a start

It was more to compare Jacob and LPT against Guler and Kerr. Obviously Lawrie didn’t play but my point is how are LPT, Jacob and even Sele missing out compared to the other 3. Should have probably explained myself better.

Guler off contract. Do we keep??
Lawrie off contract. Do we keep??
Kerr playing like a busted.
Sele can’t get a run, doing very well in cup.
Jacob, getting chicken feed minutes.
Loko, decent hit out at 35 mins.

How many chances week after week are Guler and Kerr getting?? Lawrie, at least he didn’t play. We need to be focusing on locking up LPT, Jacob etc moving forward over Guler, Kerr and Lawrie

Probably they want to get minutes into him in Cup. He's played 17, 0, 14 in the last 3 weeks.

 

[jodragon40]

Yes, he played 17 mins, Bye, 14 mins in the last 3 weeks.

If he is not going to be used more effectively in 1sts give him the minutes he needs in ressies to stay match fit. He is built like a brick shithhouse he can't be sitting on benches for 65 min

 

[Mug Fan]

Yes, he played 17 mins, Bye, 14 mins in the last 3 weeks.

Played 80min of Cup after the 17min FG

Agree

Thanks. Didn't know that. Still only 17 minutes in 2 weeks, though.

 

[Morgan]

I'm over Kyle, his attack is soo bad that his defence isn't worth it. I'd rather go in with LKT & Atko, maybe something sparks. Kyle is a known product now...or just play Luch at 5/8th.

Can't believe he dropped Reed and LKT.

 

[puff]

Can't believe he dropped Reed and LKT.

Reed is injured.

 

[Morgan]

Reed is injured.

Ok. In that case, I'd have gone Atkinson and LKT.

 

[RufusRex]

You know and its just my view. I can't find another team who have dropped their 2025 top try scorer. I know Sloan is poor defensively but he scored 17 tries last season which placed him 6th. We need speed and points because we are certainly not good enough to defend ourselves to a win. He is not a fb, he is not a centre hes a winger at best yet he is now not considered in the top 2 wingers we currently have. Doesn’t quite sit right with me.

Yeah but he scored 17 of about 25 decent opportunities

Alex Johnston has the record not because fast but because smart and committed that is what gets him the games to score all the tries

He's a pro.

Not comparing him to anyone outside our club just what we currently have within

 

[Dave03]

We have to keep buchanan or sloan on the bench because of the injury issues in that backline.

 

[Dave03]

Who is the creative player on the left since Luch is on the bench & Kyle in the starting side?

 

[Dave03]

Bench i hope is the four of Luch, Sele & Kerr as fwd rotations then Haele as dummy half with LKT & Sloan as the potential back ups for any injuries.

 

[redv13]

We have to keep buchanan or sloan on the bench because of the injury issues in that backline.

Surely Buchanan comes in for the lame Holmes. He’s no good atm

 

[Dave03]

LPT starting, I think it's his first start in 1st grade. Awesome to see!
