Ok - Winger options

maxta

First Grader
We have Jade Anderson who has speed to burn and needs opportunity- if not ready today he is very, very close and though Bozo can at times talk smack....speed is a massive plus and we are lacking it.
If not, put Tom Wright on the wing to have that X Factor player who can break a game open.
Uate has had a good run and done well in 2017....May even play well next week or the 1 after....thing is we need to get a youngster to add needed spark and enthusiasm....Time to move forward.... Taufua is a bigger loss than most realise, but again - need to look to tomorrow
 
i keep forgetting who's in our top 30 and who we can select. Last time i checked we cant pick Anderson. If we could, id go him.
Otherwise it will have to be Matt Wright, boring but its an improvement to Uate.
 
Yep, upgrade Anderson and give him his chance. I wanted him in weeks ago. We only have enough money for upgrades, not new signings and we need to upgrade 3 before july 1.

Suli is being added to the 30, so looking for 2 players.

Also a few more game in ressies for Suli, and he may be ready. He would be the No.1 option after Jorge and Parker.

If Jorge was fit, I would play Parker and Jorge. Uate has been poor all season.

Almost... we have lodged the application fr Suli to be added, nothing is a sure thing for us and yes, Uate should be GONE.
Our season was lost when this witch hunt started and the sooner the people in control realise that, the better our future will be. With NO money to spend on new players before the 2020 season we need to be smart and plan for the future.

Suli is a ball-player, a centre, and will be great with Dylan if he gets his head right.
Horge, Anderson and Parker/Kelly are our now and future wingers. Our young forwards are our immediate future.

Soft decisions NOW will be FAR more hurtful in the long run.

Management need to grow some balls and make the hard decisions that will ensure our future as a NRL club.

If they don't, we will become extinct and that is Greenturd's plan, guaranteed. I LOVE the passion of everyone here, including you Eagles2nv, but we need to get a grip on reality if we are going to survive as a club.

I hate to say it, because I admire the way Uate came back last year, but right now his presence on the filed is a guarantee of 6 to 12 points to the opposition. It really doesn't matter who replaces him as long as they can catch a ball.
 
Although important I think wingers are the very least of our problems.

Fist fights at training might need addressing first.
 
Parker has been very solid this year. Safe and runs hard, deceptively strong. He replaces uate when Jorge is fit.

I have watched Anderson and he looks to have a bright future. Fast and strong. Suli is getting better and just needs a bit more time in Reggies but looks good with the ball and I see him as making first grade this year and challenging Kelly for a centre spot long term.

Biggest worry is lack of depth in the forwards. Losing Siro and kelepi tanginoa has been massive
 
Right now our only viable fit options that meet the NRL rules are the Wrights

Tom should get a game or 2 this year at some stage, big enough, fast enough, can catch a high ball and shouldn't have too much pressure on decision making.
 
I am surprised they are not playing Tom Wright as a centre in reggies. He is not a 5/8 and they should be developing him into a position that suits his skill set. IMO he would perform much better on the wing or in the centres.
