Well what do you do Mug fan?, we cant stay like this. Atko is good enough maybe LKT there has to be the change.
We might be surprised and Reed even at this young age is mature and masterful like in the trials.
He showed he has something special.

I know you want a year in cup, we all do, but I think this kid could relish being the saviour, there's something about him.

Blake did play well and im glad for him, he even looked quite fast, but Guler not looking to his left when we had 2 guys waiting for the ball with no one in front was downright ridiculous, they one guy off the park it was a simple catch and pass scenario.

i dont blame a blunt instrument for being a blunt instrument ... Guler could have ignored his programming and tried to be a play maker ...

BUT


Flano shifting Stewart to edge forward instead of Ryan
OR
Kyle being hopelessly out of position to take the ball from Atkinson

these were much bigger errors in that play. Our ball playing lock forward should have been the receiver.

Hey guys, some of you may know me from the other forum. Nice to be here and see some familiar faces I haven't seen around in ages, like Dragon David, RVH and justadragon.

Regarding Reed, it is far too early to put him in firsts. Honestly, maturity-wise, he is pretty much there. I've very seldom said that about a half his age. That being said, he needs to have a consistent period of time stringing some performances together against grown men to be anywhere near the NRL, because otherwise, he will have a target painted on him every week because of how small he is. Not to mention, we've thrown other junior halves into our shitshow of a team in the past, and when things go wrong, the finger gets pointed at them, and it's done nothing but destroy their confidence and development (e.g. Bud, Amone).

I say we give this one a bit of time.

That's because once they join this forum they don't bother going back to the other shitshow forum.
We have one rule here the information posted in this forum stays in this forum.

Good to see you here Kogarah Warrior. I was Saints forever on the other forum, now No Surrender here.

I agree with your thoughts on Reed.

He needs a bit of time in Reserves to deal with the physicality of playing against men.

He seems very smart.

I am hoping he is ready late this season.

He is definitely football smart. Especially at the level of instinct. Sees opportunities early and exploits them. Bit like Galvin.

He seems to not get tackled very often despite being heavily involved. A good playmaker.
