Round 14 v Sharks Sunday

Loko had his best defensive game. But like all the rest, other than Ryan, yes not even Toby, no one averaged over 100m. Shows how little possession we had in the last 40. Shonkies strangled us good and proper.

Tu break showed the talent he has, good bomb defuse then simply burned his man. So quick was he none if our slow coaches could get within 20m of him for second phase play and a certain try under the sticks. Seems to have improved his handling, if he can do same with his defensive reading he could well be a keep.
 
I’m no footy expert by why can Webster average 140m 35 avg tackles and scored 3 tries in 12 games
Halangahu 137m 3 tries in 9 games 97% tackle efficiency
and not even good looked at for first grade same goes for Hutchinson and TPH
It is different 1sts to Ressies believe me I know. Mirroring those figures from one to the other is rarely done. In my view after watching those you have named they will all have the opportunity to play 1sts and test their limits. When and where are the issues

Problem with TU he is a rocks or diamond type of player. Did that particular play brilliantly. Then does a stupid offload that created the ability for the opposition to change the momentum of the game in the 2nd half. Every game he consistently makes errors which are punished by the opposition
 
Noting Tobys mins were well down on his norm. Either having his work load reduced which is a smart thing or because of his two misdemenors last week likely from fatigue.
I said in my other posts you simply cannot expect the numbers they had against the Broncos to be replicated every week. They are still too young and inexperienced

I debate that. Sele is a good player but injury has ruined his career with us. Too much of a liability.
Sele should be in the team as far as I'm concerned. Not sure what the problem is but it seems to me to be something other than ability or performance on the field. He's not very big for a prop. Hutchinson is probably bigger but his height and weight isn't listed on the Dragons website.

It would be a mistake to put all the young forwards in at the same time. Have Couchman's, Stewart, Egan. I'd get rid of Lawrie and Kerr and replace them with Nick Tsougranis or Halangahu and Gular. Stick with that for now and then Hutchinson closer to the end of the season.

Agree with this player wise .......

The bench should be lids, Ryan, Jake and Guler with Luc starting … Ryan/jake getting at least 40 and balance the load with Loko/toby

Instead we waste Jake and overwork the Couchies

Team balance is broken with our rotations

Frustrating and flano/young are going to cost us three very good forwards because racist/stupid or just too stubborn to realise what we need

PS - f*ck crown
