Hey trent

[Mark from Brisbane]

Fmd

I think that should be in caps

FMD

Indeed!

 

[Woodsie]

The fact is with 15 min to go the game could have gone either way ... Baz made the conscious decision to back the players (incl Api) to get the job done .. and they didn't let him down. These are the moments and events that build character and team spirit. Baz understands that.

 

[Budgie]

And here I was thinking this thread would have a go at him about not wearing the beanie - don't mess with the product!

 

[The '47ers]

TB had the luxury of having Hastings on the bench.

I agree ss78, it's a luxury and shows our strength by who we didn't use!

 

[pjayz]

I think the point is that with an injured Walker it might have been prudent to rest him and put on Hastings who can cover centre. I too was a little perplexed as to why we would not have brought on a fresh player who has played really well every time he has worn our jersey.

Just because we won doesn't mean there can't be improvements and that every decision that has been made was the right one.

Having said that, I loved our performance - a great win. DCE was awesome.

Hey Trent.

99 percent of us are over the moon with a convincing win, where most pundits tipped the Titans and we were without our no 1 attacking weapon.

Steve calling Zorba after the match.

The interchange sequence was already disrupted with Nate not returning in the second half . And WOODSIE was spot on with his assessment of the trend of the match during those stages Really a non issue . It was a great result and win and nothing should detract from this fact

 

[Fibro Eagle]

I do think after the team selection of not putting Hastings at fullback
TB wants to use Hastings as back up for Api but this week Api was going strong all game different to last week
Maybe Brown could have come on earlier for Walker then Hastings for Jorge but in the end all is well
A great win to be proud of

You don't think we would be better sered with hastings playing longer than 5 min?.
Up 24- 6, Api tired, fresh legs would have given us a boost. .
But no..

don't be such a bitch

 

[TokyoEagle]

Was Trent backing the guys out on the field to do the job? Changes can sometimes work for you, they can also work against you.

 

[yokahontas]

Reminds me a bit of what Des used to do, in terms of barely using the 17th (and sometimes 16th) man some weeks. Yes, it sucks for the guy getting splinters in his arse, but it means when you get to the really tough, grindy games, your starting players are used to going a long time without a breather. When you're in a tiring, grinding game, use the bench rotation more and it gives the team that little boost they don't need so much in the comfortable wins.

Don't forget, we also had a couple of forced replacements tonight, and Walker was iffy - not a bad idea to hold back a player just in case he had to come off, or someone else copped an injury or head knock.

 

[Genius]

Thats why Trent is a first grade NRL coach and steve is a keyoard critic. Idiot faction.

When you consider the try that Walker scored to ice the game, you have to say the decision to leave him on the field was somewhat vindicated.

I do agree that there can be improvements, but the OP is a clown who is not simply giving opinion, but aggressively criticising Barrett and other members of the Sea Eagles inner sanctum (in other threads); people he doesn't have a clue about.

He is a clown haha.

 

[Danly Manly]

We will probe you tonight for this!

 

[Harvies elbow]

I find I become more of a super coach when we lose.
When we win I realise why I'm not.

 

[Dan]

Take notice..
If you don't think we have 17 first graders to play then **** off.
You have abused hastings way too long.
You have no idea how to capatalise or finish off a game

Hastings? I didn't know you posted here, welcome buddy, you've been playing really well.....in short bursts.
