What would people change for the play offs for me I would drop lance to bench bring Gaskell in at six stop wilkin kicking because is kicking is shocking I would keep the wingers as they are ade needs to play is way back in

Wilkin was terrible tonight, everything he did turned into a mess. But Rush is stubborn and won't make changes now. We won tonight due to a much improve defensive effort, but the attacking was far from perfect again. Hohaia just seemed to panic at key moments in attack and Wello was poor again in that regard.

Would keep the same team for the play offs barring any injuries. Don,t think its worth tinkering with the team now, need to improve on the scoring opportunities.

Agree with you again, what's happening to me.

Oh, apart from Wellens. Had a good game.

You complain about Wello, but look at Tomkins tonight. Obviously he makes up for it in attacking flair, but he was shambolic at times under the bombs and even simple kicks.

To be fair I only said he was poor in attack, he literally did nothing.

Tomkins had a mare, I agree with you, but the best players in the world do that at times, even the likes of Billy Slater/Jarryd Hayne/Greg Inglis. He needs to sort his boots out, he seems to slip over far more than any other player, as if he's playing on an ice rink. He's also far too concerned with niggling and being a brat. I lost count of the amount of times he walked past the markers before playing the ball and pushed or lashed out at the markers. Summed him up when he stood on Clough's toes unnecessarily at the end of the first half.

Lance is just hopeless. Get gaskell in, unfortunately won't happen.

Re: Playoffs : Fri Sep 07, 2012 11:40 pm  

Rush would sell his mother before changing anything now so the point's moot - the same 17 will plod on for the next few weeks regardless. The time to experiment and try some different options was about 3 months ago, not in playoff games.

They do it to us every flaming year it seems:

Blame lance all you want, but lomax was terrible (with ball)

Would have to agree with the Sad one regarding Wilkin, he tried to give us back a man advantage as best he could!
