Except for nearly every edge forward and a handful of hookers and middle forwards.
Coming on as a middle forward probably. I doubt Bellamy would stand for an edge backrower who can't play 80min.
Agree but why?
Excuse me sir but marking Stephen Crighton isn't impossible. Very far from it.
BOD shd've stuck with him. Seemed to have a better rapport with players imho.
Carr did far better with what he had to work with but I'm not giving up on Flanno yet. He needs and intervention vis-a-vis Kyle. That might be the slap around around the ear he needs to stop picking rejects from other clubs and start picking both Couchmans and winger Finau immediately while fast tracking half a dozen other young players for possible first grade selection.
Done nothing close to that before or since. His running metres are still poor. The workhorse in our pack is Lawrie , yet he is still bagged unmercifully.
Please explain.
I'm sure he thinks Kyle is the best player in the team and possibly in the NRL. But he needs to face the reality that isn't the case. Someone, like Craig Young or Ben Haran needs to sit down with Flanno and explain clearly that Kyle just isn't an NRL quality player.
Lawrie is a hard worker but his leg speed is slow and he isn't big for a prop. Lose forward momentum when he is on even though he probably makes more metres than Frank Molo because he does much more work. I think he's worth having. Every good pack needs a really hard worker.
That was only 2 games ago before last Thursday. He does his job as a defensive forward. If only the other players would do their jobs . Same as Lawrie does his job .
Good edge forwards tackle and run a lot. Having a supposed tackling machine in the pack is doing very little for the actual defence. See below.
Well there my friend is the problem , the boy's club continues to raise its head ........ I have no doubt that once Flanno is finished Deano boy is ready to take over ......... The Youngs , Doust , Gordon's , Piggott , Graigh , and all others Millward and co are slowing killing this once feared mighty club ....... And throw in a CEO who does what ever the f**K he does .......
Agree. Eisenhuth was unfairly targeted in my view and to my eagle eye. It's easy to lay the blame on a tired and now known to have been injured 2nd rower. You could tell by the change in his tackling style something wasn't right, and although entitled to their opinions having such a player marking a SOO centre was never goingtoend well. Just my views.
HAS FL FORGOTTEN HOW TERRIBLE MATT WAS LAST TIME HE PLAYED FIRSTS. Yes he is going fine in Ressies, captain and fullback but that is where he needs to stay. Nu Brown is a utility, can play hooker or 5/8/half, how about centre? Please not Marschke, he aint first grade standard. We are on the end of another walloping if he is our play maker..
This is a hill you will die on.
Very dramatic statement. People can point and lay the blame on an individual player, that is human nature especially when your team has been given a footballing lesson on the field and humiliated. Perhaps next time we lose a back with no utility on the bench Eisenhuth won't be placed in that position. I personally feel that I'm tobogganing down the hill. Just my views.
I don't think you are wrong about him not being a centre. I just think no matter what position he is in, missing those tackles was unacceptable. 1 happens. 2 is a concern. 3 in 10min isn't acceptable. Not even if he was a little halfback with props running at him. Still should do better than Eisenhuth did.
