Nathan same as ?? : Sat Mar 02, 2013 10:10 am  
Nathan Brown is doing the same as he did at Huddersfield, shipping players into alien positions. This does not work. Instead of moving Lomax to full back he should have left him and Wilkin where they were and brought in a recognised full back from the second team.

I totally disagree on your Lomax point. Lomax has been very good at Full Back in the absence of Paul Wellens. Infact I think Lomax should play Full Back even when Wellens is fit again. He has been superb there.

He is chopping and changing, but Lomax for me should be our fullback.

Saints problem is who to play in the halves.

Wilkin isnt a halfback
Wheeler is a half, but is the proverbial gingerbread man.
Gaskell has the footballing talent but seems to be lacking in the confidence to make that step up
Swift is out injured and is inexperienced
Hohoia hasnt got the organisational ability to play in the halves.

In essence lots of square pegs trying to fit round holes, and one round peg that breaks as soon as you fit it in the hole.

We just need to find the round peg. I think that is what Brown is trying to do.

Giantscorpio is correct. NB loves to tinker and come up with post result rationalisations.

If Lomax is so obviously great at fb why did he not play there in the friendlies and from game 1?

Brown has:

- stated it is about players understanding new playing systems - how long does he need with a top squad?

- suggested problems down to injuries

- suggested after 2 /3 games he NOW knows player strengths and weakneses and will make changes - he was 'appointed' 12 months ago, how long does he need?

- suggested clubs with same personel / coaches have started well and Saints with a new coach (but only 2/3 new players!) may take longer - while forgetting the Giants made many changes yet have started well!

His mumbling repetitive interview after the leeds game was lame and clueless.

You should expect plenty more musical chairs selections / willful ignorance of obvious lack of fitness / inexplicable continued selection of 'favourites' and further excuses / few false dawns.

You deserve better.

If i was to marry, i dont know if i ought to, if i would, if i should , i'd marry a Prop's daughter, she'd go down, i'd go down, we'd all go down together, we'd be alright in the middle of the night going down together!!

Re: Nathan same as ?? : Sat Mar 02, 2013 11:00 am  
Good Luck with that then cos Brown will certainly try plenty of square pegs in round holes, don't be suprised to see Hohia at Prop, Manu in Centres, Roby in halves and most obvious one is Meli into back row

Likes a Tinker our Nathan

He likes to flog the players to death as well by all accounts. Huddersfield players alluded to the fact they get more downtime under Baloo and hope to see the benefits later in the season instead of the annual blowout in August. Have you just been unlucky with injuries or is Nathan driving them too hard too early?

He is making some good selections. It is far to easy to stick with the same team over again. Wilkin is not a 7 but we don't have one in the squad (except for a young lad know isn't ready yet). He is doing his best with the squad he has.

Imagine the difference a guy like Danny Brough would make in this team. Wilkins a steady kicker but he doesn't have the craft and creativity that a half back needs. Also, we NEED to get Manu into the second row.

Re: Nathan same as ?? : Sat Mar 02, 2013 12:42 pm  
The only thing that is "same as" is Huddersfield fans bragging after four or five games!

We've got bags of improvement in us and I still expect us to challenge for trophies.

With the exception of his kicking game, I'm not entirely sure he would make much difference to the team. We still wouldn't look any better with Billy Slater or Cooper Cronk in there because the problem is bigger than one player.
