Our bench lacks Impact

[The Eagle Has Landed]

This game on Friday night will be a tough ask for us and we need to win especially playing the scumdogs. With suspensions and injuries our bench is depleted and worst still there is no impact. Hasson played 19 min last week ran for 25m and made 15 tackles. Symonds played for 24min ran 6m and made 18 tackles.
To their credit Buhrer and Rose played well.
We need another big bopper to come off the bench like Ligi Sao.
Hasson should make way for Sao.
Thoughts?

 

[mozgrame]

Yes. I agree 100% It's Sao time!




Actually......it is smoko too isn't it?

 

[Kiwi Eagle]

What Hassons stats show is that he came on when the refs were riding the Warriors in the 1st half.

15 tackles in 19min is pretty good work

 

[The Eagle Has Landed]

He was lucky to get a run normally we just play with 3 reserves for whatever reason

Jamie Buhrer i don't think is offering too much this season. Glenn Stewart is much the same. Hopefully both find good form this week. How far away is Fa'aoso? Does anyone know? We're just lacking a bit of go forward at the moment. The Warriors got on the back foot and instead of pushing off loads and silly long balls they just rammed it up. Tackle after tackle. It's what we used to do and it is the only way to get back in the game. I ****ing hate watching us push stupid passes and dropping balls.

Spot on.

 

[Kiwi Eagle]

From memory since Fa'aoso has been suspended we have played Dragons, Roosters, Storm, Raiders and Warriors so he will still have 3 more to miss

Richie is due back round 16.
Ready to play The Rorters at Allianz.

Round 18 vs Cowboys


I asked the same question yesterday and looked it up (on Google).
Very difficult finding info like that. Mwse.com doesn't update it.

 

[The Eagle Has Landed]

It says on NRL.com he's due back round 16

I also read it elsewhere on hate to say it but

To try and get Ferris involved and give us some spark from dummy half, id be giving Matty Ballin a 20-30 minute breather. Ferris just isn't getting enough game time IMO to make any impact.

THis is correct, pretty sure...
He was suspended for 8 games, not 8 weeks.
Taking into the account bye rounds, he is back against Cows.

I really don't think anyone knows

Correct. He returns in round 18.

His 8 game suspension was in fact a 10 week suspension once the 2 bye rounds were factored in.

Just for a change I would start with Buhrer and use Gifty off the bench.

 

[Masked Eagle]

I like the look of Hasson. I've been reasonably impressed with the limited minutes he's had and the situation he's found himself in on those occasions.

I'd rather they start with T Red out the right and bring Gift on later for defence.

 

[Stevo]

Yeah taking T-red off the field has slowed down our attack i think. Horo was playing well at the back.
