Kelma Tuilagi

[Eagles4Life]

Is Sam Fainu ready ??

I think it's time to find out. He needs to be on the bench against the Storm.

Yeah Tuilagi must go. No matter how good he is In attack if you defend like that you can’t play NRL. Kills the teams confidence and other teams like Penrith exploit it

Can't be any worse can he ?

 

[The Eagle Has Landed]

Think he's been playing too much touch footy. He looks lazy in defence.
He been ordinary the last few weeks.

 

[Pepi]

I'd be dropping him and giving Fainu a run or even Condon. His defense is not first grade standard.

 

[Scorpio]

Poor really poor is the only way to describe that effort poor in defence and only 56 running metres in 69 minutes on the field has to be dropped to the bench for next week

I agree that it wasn't good enough but who can he be replaced with?

Karl Lawton looks like he will be out injured for some time, unfortunately.
Ben Trbojevic is injured
Sipley, Keppie, Bullemor and Woods... they are not edge forwards.

Which leaves Ben Condon, I haven't seen enough of him to know if he's an edge forward.

Josh Stucky is worth a shot. He's been outstanding in the last few games hes played with BWSE

Condon does not stand out in the Blacktown games...

I guess that’s the issue isn’t it, there really isn’t a stand out replacement but Kelma isn’t going to improve unless Seibs takes action I’d drop him to bench and take a punt of either Samuela Fainu or Condon who played most of his NRL games with the cowboys in the second row.. not ideal but Kelma can’t dish that up 56 running meters as a edge forward is ****house he definitely wasn’t putting his hand up to help out yesterday bloody turn style in defence

 

[JenEagle]

All we need is an edge forward on his side who can defend.

We have plenty of strike with Dce, turbo, Saab haumole. We just need a no frills backrower who can run a line and defend. Kelma is an absolute liability and gives away two more more tries every game.

 

[Leho]

It’s ashame burbo is injured, I would like to see him string a few games together starting in the back row.

 

[Eagles4Life]

Josh Stucky is worth a shot. He's been outstanding in the last few games hes played with BWSE

He's not in the thirty, and we probably won't get an exemption for him, as we have other players in the thirty who can cover that spot (Fainu, Condon) etc

 

[TheSoaringEagle2023]

All we need is an edge forward on his side who can defend.

We have plenty of strike with Dce, turbo, Saab haumole. We jus need a no frills backrower who can run a line and defend. Kelma is an absolute liability and gives away two more more tries every game.

We really need to ride out DCE's tenure and let him go. As long as he's captain of the ship, the mediocrity will only continue. Either that or make Jake the captain to bring some more perspective into the performances.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

As Ive said elsewhere , yesterdays loss couldn’t be attributed to the forwards ( although they made a few mistakes).

Just look at where most of the try’s were scored ( apart from the one up the middle).

No no no no mark it's 90% on the forwards they are softc@kc's except Jake and croker. This pelicans attempt (if you can call it that) on edwards that left to the first try was under 8s stuff. He needs to rack off back to concord and never return. He is a pussy

Croker is a park footballer.

 

[swoop]

You have to wonder why we signed Tuilagi when we had lots of forwards like Fifita, Fainu and others. We should of been going after an established centre.

I saw it differently - we lost the middle (tonnes of offloads), which allowed them to run rampant down the flanks. Line speed was horrible, and we didn't make contact with our hits.

Oh man, it still hurts thinking about that game. I think I will just have to flush the proverbial and move on..

 

[Shoe1]

I saw this deficiency last year, and hoped there would be improvement.

Does anyone know why Jacob Preston went straight to the roosters from Belrose/st Augustine’s? He’s obviously at dogs now but wtf, he’s a decent young second rower, goes all day.

I could tell within the first 5 minutes of the game that we were in trouble our middles where just letting the panthers roll forward with offloads and quick play the balls which had our outside backs just back peddling and we weren’t working hard from the inside it was a super lazy performance.. things will need to improve massively against the storm or we will be staring down the same barrel, I don’t think we need mass changes but I think some of the poorer guys need a wake up call that they can’t dish that **** out
