Harper, Schuster & Olakau'atu

[XV-1]

I can see Schuster and Guac having huge matches next week against Souths.

Haumole attracts a lot in attack.
Teams are onto him.

If he can learn to pass when he is about to hit the line, he will be awesome.

That would give him the ability to attack the D and/or pass at the line.

I hope so. Schuster's form is quite concerning for mine.

Having Walker in the middle has affected the way Schuster is used in attack.
He needs to ge given some more freedom in attack, not just told to tackle.

Yeah, I thought Haumole was much better tonight. Schuster / Harper had another shocker in my opinion. Schuster is supposed to be a difference maker, but ATM he's getting carried. I'm starting to think he's being coached to play that way though , he's lost all ex factor, and is ordinary in defense

He had a few chances tonight and dropped it cold 3 times

He will bounce back. Too much talent. He is still a weapon on the edges, attract s a lot of defence. Just been off with his timing

 

[Simonmyers11]

Shuster just needs to get a little deeper and have foran give him a little more space. Shuster is best with ball out in front, defence holds off him. His link to Tom has been off as well. Dez has mixed it up, went with some different plays tonight.

The few times Shuster had the ball he lost it. Can easily bounce back though

I thought Harper was better made some good reads in defence Tedesco tried it on that side but Tedesco would get on the outside of most backs. Schuster has had a long season for a rookie playing edge forward does seem a bit flat but tackles everything that comes his way
These 2 guys playing a full season in first grade is not an easy gig
can only get better and it shows sometimes

 

[Rocky]

Its great experience for these youngsters. I agree the Schu's form is a bit concerning. Ideally i would like to see him off the bench. Maybe Lawton could start at second row, the Schu replaces him and plays the last 55 minutes..then Lawton replaces Froggy with 20m to go in the game. Wont happen but just spitballing to get the best out of the Schu.

 

[Maxim]

Schuster will be back, what was clearly proven tonight is never count a Sea Eagle out.

 

[JBW]

Harper was better, he's lost pace since coming to us, I presume due to that strapping on his knee. Cody Walker is going to run at him all night next week and I don't think Harper can keep with him.
Guac looked good but hurt and Shoo didn't look great. You don't make changes now but for next year Des has to decide what Shoos best role is.

Agree somewhat but he only had 40 run metres today, he doesn't run with any intensity and let in 2 clean line breaks. Jake was trying to give him early ball and get him in the game but he just looks disinterested and completely out of form. We need him firing and I hope he can turn it around asap! He needs to watch Keppie and play with a bit of desire.

If Harper sticks to his ground and does not back peddle, he will be fine.
Get up in Walkers face and Cody will choke like he normally does.

Harper had 3 individual missed tackles tonight.

Maybe 2.5 as he caught one of the players with 2nd effort.
Zero tries against. Inside and out backing him up.

Yup, solid all round performance. I expected us to win, but not to that degree.

I had us winning 32 -12... net gain of of 16 points. Sometimes it's good to be proved wrong, oh yeah!
