Player in crap environment (worried where the next pay cheque is coming from, probably) exhibits poor form shocker? Have IQs regressed to such a point that I need to explain this once again?

In any case - wasn't St. Pete saying we NEEDED Tasi because he's a "better player" than Mose? What gives?

Can you produce the evidence where ive said that mose isn't better than Tasi? I think he's 100% better value for money but that doesn't mean I think he's a great signing.

We need good props and tasi is decent at best. If he lasts more than 8 mins per spell snd hits double figures for carries in a game then he is a upgrade on mose.

Do you know how many hit ups mose did in his first spell last week ? None!

We only had about 2 completed sets when Mose came on his first spell, if you look at the replays we never had the ball for 4 or 5 mins we kept giving the ball away with errors and penalties.
Bad timing from the bench, Mose seems to come on when we are in a defensive spell of late, don,t think Richards made any carries either and only managed 2 carries in the game.

Didn't notice Richards till the last 10 minutes myself, thought he only came on for that one late spell.

Re: Tasi : Tue Aug 25, 2015 9:45 pm  

He came on for the first time on 65 mins or there abouts.

He must have got thru some defensive work in that first spell then as he didn't last 15 mins and didn't use his energy with hit ups as he did none.

I just don't get why people on here keep making up excuses for his bone idle can't be bothered performances. Alex and robes are running their blood to water while he just walks about with his hands on his hips.

Has anyone noticed thst Mose no longer warms up before coming on with the rest of the lads on the touchline. He just sits on the bench.

His performances over the past 4 weeks are utter shocking.

Thats correct did a fair bit of tackling, Roby used him as a decoy runner a few times, I think Mose also gave away 2 penalties, one of them for lying on or falling asleep whichever you prefer.

Re: Tasi : Wed Aug 26, 2015 1:13 pm  

The Tasi signing seems to highlight a concern that speccies have that we can't "polish a turd" anymore. Other clubs seem to be able to spot players that are under performing and get the best out of them. Hull KR seem pretty good at that, even to the extent that they then sell on their players at a profit to clubs like Saints. We have done ok with Vea this year, but otherwise, I can't remember the last time we really unearthed a gem? I wouldn't include big Alex in that, because he already was performing, albeit at a lower level.

Re: Tasi : Wed Aug 26, 2015 1:53 pm  

Vea was he signing of the season before he got injured. Amor had a stonking season last year. Walmsley was a great find. I even think you can put Turner in that category. He's certainly performed better than a lot of people predicted. Combined with how we've brought on some youngsters, it might be a touch harsh.

I think the stagnation of Walsh and, to a lesser extent IMO, Burns has probably tainted our view. Had they been performing better, we'd be thinking things are a lot more rosey all round.

I can imagine Tasi going quite well for us. Whilst he wont come up with the big runs Mose can do, he'll be generally busier and likes to bash them in defence, which will help add impetuous.
