How did he go tonight?

 

[DSM5]

he went very well.  Maybe that's why the Ox went better than I've seen him go for a month or so..

 

[Matabele]

Sad thing is he's probably in line to make way for bullet. 

 

[DSM5]

If Des dumps Foran for Bullet he's stupid.

 

[Kiwi Eagle]

Lyon played 5/8 all night.

I liked Foran's game last night, but am unsure that if he is going to be used that way, if he is the man I want in the centres once Stewart comes back

 

[Darren]

poor old foran gettig shunt out to centre and then 5/8 etc, ain't going to work, it will be lyon to centre when stewie comes back, Foran will get a shot next year, I am a big fan of Foran

 

[willstyles]

He defends at 5/8, plays centre in attack.

Gives Killer less work to do in defence and keeps him fresher in attack, and also provides a good way for Foran to work into first grade. Less pressure on him to be expected to provide the winning play etc if he isn't playing fulltime in the halves.

 

[Dan]

on last nights performance Matai should make way for Stewart, he was back to his worst, Tony Williams makes Matai look good, with know T-rex there Matai looked crap. Out of the whole team, matai plays as an individual not part of the team

 

[KaZa]

Farrar back at centre when Stewart comes back? nooo.

Hes too small and he cant read how to defend there especially 1 on 1

 

[DSM5]

My guess is that Matai is injured (Kiwi?) He's not playing with any confidence, slapping in tackles and not making those bullocky runs from dummy half.  Is he a spent force in need of replacing? 

 

[Kiwi Eagle]

He has that permanent injury DSM that won't be healed around the neck, other than that I am not sure

Last night when he went down early, it was either a finger in the eye or a whack around the eye

As I said in another topic, I really want to see him run out of the line and smash someone again, it might re light the fire in him.

 

[Dan]

It's not just his defense he stalls our attack and tries to do it himself whilst forgetting about the team around him

 

[Kiwi Eagle]

He definitely is drifting to the sideline too much at the moment, he has an awesome step which is not used. And although we got the ball back last night, I would like his foot cut off too

He is our power centre, so I would like to see him hit the line hard rather than drifting, when he hits hard and pokes his head through, he has a good offload

Need to give him a DVD of that semi v Warriors, or us at Parramatta last year to look at and see where hard running gets him
