Regular season review

[nita]

I agree with kiwi on the wangman thing. He is defo not a fullback, but he was far and away the best option we had. He's filled in at fullback in the past, so that was an easy choice IMO.

And yes.. Poor Cuthbo.

 

[Cletus]

agree that cuthbo might be the best pick for the bench until kingy gets back (and given how long it takes the big units to get up to speed, maybe that's all folks for kingy this year).

cuthbo will be desperate to do the business out there, and jw-h is so green: he looks like a big herman munster in need of some finesse. cuthbo has that in spades. If he picks his moments to offload he could be great (if we get past this first game).

The trouble is he hasn't learnt how to do that in a couple of years. I'd still prefer him to Hargreaves because I think Cuthbo is a better defender but he needs to forget about offloading so often.

 

[Andrew..]

Unless Des can guarantee that Cuthbo won't do one of his brain explosion impossible passes, I think I would rather play safe and stick with JWH.

hang on....wait.....back this whole **** up for 1 second.

Tony Williams in 5/8.

Oh my god. I think I will save the petrol and not go down there

I think Robbo did a fine job at fullback considering. You can never acuse him of not busting his gut to do the right thing. Sure he's not a fullback but i've never heard him claim he was. That Farrer should have possibly been there sooner is up to Des not Robbo.,

 

[DSM5]

ads, no-one in blaming Robbo.  From the first game one could see he was not a fullback, he's an excellent winger.  That's not having a go at him.  Sure he busted his gut, but he was not a fullback.  And I've watched him before at that position and he's not been good. The same can be said for Hicks when he had to fill in.  Winger and fullback require a different set of skills.  And manlyborn, surely you can't say 'play it safe' with JWH.  The guy can't tackle and drops the ball.....often.     

 

[Andrew..]

Can't argue with what your saying DSM, but I'm hoping that JHW puts in because it was his choice to go to the roosters and he may feel he owes the club a big one (fingers crossed) where as Cuthbo was basically given the punt and would be given the punt back to the sunshine coast on return of either King or Rodney.

 

[DSM5]

I wonder what Cuthbo did to deserve his treatment.  Surely signing with the Sharks is punishment enough. 

 

[Andrew..]

No idea, but to take a stab in the dark i would say he probably lost heart in the club for not making last years grand final squad after making a fair contribution throughout the year.

 

[Canteen Worker]

Cuthbo did some good things in 2007 but certainly did not deserve to be in the 17 last year on form. He had every chance of making the grade this year with the departure of Bryant and Beaver but he hasn't stepped up. Always sad to see a Manly junior pass on to another club, especially that scum but that is life.

He will always be remembered as Ryan's wing star!!!!!  ;D ;D ;D

Cuthbo had his chances last year, others stepped up and he didn't, not their fault he is languishing on the coast.
From the team posted it seems he cannot even make the starting line up for the SCSE (maybe due to being in line for a call up to the big time- is that likely?).

 

[Dan]

no matter where cuthbo plays. he is a bench player. I would say he would be a bench player in C grade. its just the type of player that he is
