Hurry back Jorge .. we need you!

[Mark from Brisbane]

Jorge was at times incredible like the 2012 finals series and all of 2015 once he returned from injury. Sadly no way back for this club favourite now with Saab + Garrick going well plus some really promising up and comers on the way

Yep , sad really but that’s footy!!

When do you think Des will pick him on first grade. He is fit enough. Now.

First time Saab loses us a game because of his defense ... ..

 

[The Who]

I'll be surprised if we don't see Tippytoes get some First Grade experience leading into the finals. He is still yet to debut for us and we signed him for four years, which must mean he is well thought of, or at least was well thought of pre-signing.

tippytoes has made his debut for us. He was activated 18th man.

I would not be surprised to see Horhay play centre if we lost Lionel and Scorpio this year. He was being played at centre in reggies for a reason.

But we'd also have to lose Walker and Suli !

So u think we need to lose 4 first? I highly doubt Walker gets a run at centre in the "new" game. If we lose our current 2 then it may be Suli and Horhay. Would not surprise me.

Another thread (title at least) that hasn’t aged too well!

 

[The '47ers]

But we'd also have to lose Walker and Suli !

And the other 29 contracted players

Jorge is an important part of the squad, training with the boys and doing his job.

He may not see first grade but is no doubt very professional and doing his bit bringing experience and strength to opposed sessions and drills.

I've only seen him a few times in the Reggies, and I've gotta say that he was way off the pace defensively.
In fact he was downright diabolical against North Sydney (had half a game at centre from memory).

Was playing at centre though, so that brings its own challenges.

I think Saab has been important in turning some half chances into tries but ironically, the best attribute that Taufua possesses, is the area where Saab needs most improvement. Helping us out of yardage. Saab does not carry enough, nor is it effective enough. He is lucky we have Trbo and Garrick who are both excellent in this area.

If Suli can play like he did last week, he could be an option on the wing due to his strong carries in the backfield, which is finals footy, are so important. Brian To'o - exhibit A.

Agree

Garrick's best improvement this year has been his yardage. He always almost makes some PCM which last year - he was probably making negative PCM.

I still love Saab at the back because I can't remember the last time he's dropped a ball (was it that Dragons game in rd 3?)

Agree tho... would love him to dig in a bit more... needs to get involved and emulate a bit of To'o
