Garricks performance at centre

[DanielTurbo888]

Let's see how he goes next week. He just needs that breakthrough game to get his confidence up.

I dunno mate, he's looked quite good in attack in a few games but not even close to looking good in defence in any!

Is Talau not a centre? Why are we playing these two players out of position. It’s rhetorical, I get why with making Garrick happy, but that’s enough.

The coach needs to make the decision if Garrick isn't performing at centre move him back to the wing. He doesn't have the credentials at centre to get upset at that decision.

With Ben T to come back into centre I don’t see a position for Garrick. Talau has been very solid in last two games and hasn’t let anyone down.
Garrick could be the weakest link.

He could be Lomaxed 😜

Great winger , not anywhere near a great centre ( maybe he’ll improve but it’s no where near there yet).

Ben will come back to left edge.

As my @NREagle said to me mid game, how many consistent weeks has he had with his wing partner to build chemistry, learn and adjust ?

2 is it?

Maybe give him time..

Lolololol……yeah ok mate!

Saab and Garrcik on the wings bring Talou into the centres at least Garrick can kick a goal and Saab can score a try but both are liabilities under the high ball and in defensive reads

 

[TokyoEagle]

Bring back, Hank. No issue in defense and runs those tough lines.
TBH, when you look at the way the players respect his input, I am not sure why the fans are so tough on him.

I love giving Garrick his shot in the centres, but defensively been terrible and if he can't get they right quickly, back to the wing

I'm not sure how long they can give Garrick at centre. Does anyone know if he played junuors there?

He said he played centre for all his juniors.
Maybe that is why Dragons let him go as he didn’t cut it as a centre. Manly then selected him at centre.

Did not see the game. Was he crap in D again?

 

[Mal Cochrane]

I missed the game and watched the replay after reading comments on how the players went, I failed to see why he is being picked out after todays game, a couple of misreads and also made some great tackles. He was ineffective in attack today however he has been going well in that area.

Not the best defensive effort. It's either he is not communicating with his winger or just jamming in and not reading the play.

Several Titans tries came from Garrick misreads or ineffective tackles or both. Our right side defense has been very poor in matches that Garrick has played this year.

I remember reading before he signed with us that he was a centre in St George lower grades

Kelly made him look 2nd rate a few times tonight

How many consistent weeks did Ben T have to build chemistry, learn and adjust with his wing partner?

How many weeks did Lachie Croker have to do the same when he was marking RTS after Ben T did a hammy?

Garrick is a fine, fine player....on the wing.
