wish we had 22 zerrets

 

[Happyskeret]

Is Merritt forward now? Not a bad idea if getting heavily tagged.

 

[brownezaka]

normally I just read others post but thought I’d make one myself.

It’s so frustrating to see below average players sneak there way back into this team and then be considered apart of the regular starting 22

, there is nothing worse then when a bad player gets a lot of the ball because it breaks down the rest of the team structure as soon as he takes on 3-4 players and turns it over which he does a lot it leaves us so exposed behind him and relies to much on others to cover his man. I’d rather have a bad player like weideman play a game and not get a touch because it doesn’t hurt the team as badly.

Sorry about the rant, I’m in a bit of a mood today, just wish we could be better!

 

[Vindicater]

Lol. I reckon we should pinpoint goatee with our kicks from now

 

[Yoda_]

Cox is showing some nice flashes

looks confident

 

[citizen-erased]

Are we?

So far as I know Port is sniffing around and he would be wanting more money than he was on before so it's probably convenient to entertain it.

But about a year ago I remember hearing Hurley telling us (semi-privately) that Zerk was the future of the backline and they're investing in him. So I don't think after all that investing in him we'd be actively throwing him out the door now that he is finally starting to do things regularly at the level...

Was more referring to this board

 

[Beerfish]

that looked still in

 

[Vindicater]

A small slip I to insanity on my part.

 

[Beerfish]

great kick darce

 

[Happyskeret]

Balders has got a nice set of hands

 

[TheGrizz]

That's the back breaker we don't need Darcy.

 

[sameolds33]

woeful skilz

 

[bommer16]

Where’s the pressure Ess!
Cmon.

Hind is if nothing else, is creative.

If anything, it is poor list management that Hind continues to get a game because we have no one else to try and do that running half back/wing role

 

[HirdsTheWord]

great kick darce

nah mate darcy is kicking well.

those who dont think so arent watching

 

[Vindicater]

**** me we are a bad team.

 

[citizen-erased]

So much jogging

 

[Yoda_]

Oh hi Essington

 

[ScrappyCoCo]

piss weak cox got to mark that

 

[Yoda_]

* me we are a bad team.

We are just shit

 

[TurnOnTheBrightLights]

Cox just doesnt have his head in the game

 

[Happyskeret]

It’s an interesting game I don’t think norf are playing that bad.

 

[TheGrizz]

So a couple of poor kicks from Tsatas and Parish goes straight back with interest.

The game is basically the same as it was earlier this year, Norf are crunching us at clearance.

 

[NoWuckingFurries]

we're nowhere near as slick as we think we are

 

[brownezaka]

I agree he is creative, but I’d much rather personally get to a situation where redman and mcragth are in better positions to be creative and hind not play, just my opinion and I understand a lot of people will disagree
