Forwards

[Stewbojevic]

Unfortunately, Brandy has nailed it…

Summary: Bully is our only good forward, the rest are not up to scratch except for Paseka who is out for the season.

Wow?!! He’s not including Ola as a good forward??? Bit harsh. Sure he could be better but he’s pretty effective and last time I checked he was leading the tackle bust leaderboard - or close to it. If he was referring to middles only, then I’d have to agree.

We started the season with not enough props ( and now Tent gone) and missing our hooker.
Burbo in the 13 shows lack of depth.
Our remaining forwards lack punch and footwork.

Then our game breaker (turbo) is out.

Of course we are going bad.

Yeh mate, he is 100% referring to the middles , not the edge...
But Fridays game Haumole was 2 different players.
1st half drifting sideways and looking to pass before the line, trying chip kicks and an attempted miracle pass when it was a 3 on 3.
2nd half did not look to pass, just powering forward and demolishing them....no tricky stuff, just hard ass Power running and he should do this "every time' and if gunna pass, do it after skittling defenders and "through"the line, don't try become a half back.

Should this thread be retitled ‘Backwards’?

We need Haumole in the middle. Put Schoupp right edge forward

I’d take sideways at this point.

Indeed, Elgaelabolg.

Where do we get some decent Props/middles from? UK Super League? The best there are Ese'Ese, Pangai and Kaide Ellis.... we dont seem to have anybody 1/2 decent coming through the system so will either have to pinch youngsters from elsewhere looking for a start, or go all-in to try to get Payne Haas, and that would be a longshot to land him?

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Try Navale, Patolo, Aitasi James, Sykes, ...Dunford
One or two of them might seize the opportunity and try to become first grade forwards. Team needs an injection of youthful enthusiasm. Currently there's too much experience and not enough agility.

Brown has been ok at times but it is starting to get very frustrating seeing him shoot out the line just to miss the tackle. I can appreciate that he’s trying to fire the team up but it leaves a massive gap in behind which results in a line break or extremely quick play the balls
