Been butt average of late. Goes MIA.

 

[joeboy]

Need more from the man

Goes MIA.

You'll find him in the dressing sheds.

 

[Chunkytuna]

This guy's a flat pitch bully. Doesn't hit the line with any speed or real commitment. I've never understood the wraps he gets.
Big body, small ticker.

I’ve been saying this for a long time. He has ZERO mongrel in him. None. How he made it to Origin was beyond my comprehension but I think we all saw he was (and is) nowhere near that standard. I don’t know how you wake someone like that up?? All the potential but no desire.

 

[Rackets]

He needs to run the ball like Spencer Leniu. He can be a wrecking ball but like I've said before in other threads, he and Paseka are never deep enough when receiving the ball. They walk or jog to the line.

He got there the usual way with some of these fringe SoO players. Talked up incessantly by the Nein commentariat (Andrew Johns! Come on down!).

Tony Williams, is another other Johns Academy alumni.

 

[Kalvin]

Well he is contracted for the next 10 years or something so better get used to him! 😆

His sin bin last night was ridiculous - it was shoulder on shoulder contact - even Greg Alexander said that & was gobsmacked at the sin binning - Mason’s head whiplashing made it look worse.

I’m interested in seeing what the MRC makes of it.

Would be better to try and get him more on a one on one attacking situation but last night hardly allowed that much opportunity .
Heavily spotted these days also but again fairly important to find a better way and maybe getting D C E working a bit better with him .
Ridiculous send off for him last night but still playing with plenty of vigor and sure that he can somehow be used to better effect just off the ruck area .
Noticed he was doing a bit more direct ruck running occasionally last night and that is not where he can do the most damage

Good news, Schmole won't be missing any games. Fine only..

NRL Judiciary Report: Kiwi games counted in NAS ban

Storm prop Nelson Asofa-Solomona will only miss one game at the start of the 2025 season after it was ruled that three of New Zealand's Pac Champs game would count as part of his ban.

He shouldn’t have been charged at all. Ridiculous. That said, he needs to pull his finger out cause he owes the team and the club.

 

[mave]

Paseka should fight the charge.

Only gonna cost $500 extra to piss off the NRL

DCE needs to look at the way Brooks straightened, attracted the outside defender and created space for Ola to run into, which led to one f Turbo’s tries. There’s no use giving him early ball and watching him plod into the line, and then try to push for a few extra metres of ‘post contact metres’. That’s great, but defences can eat that up all day. He needs someone to say run with me AT TOP SPEED and then I’ll give you the ball.

The only time I've seen him sprint into the line was when attacking someone from behind, in his civvies whilst sitting on the bench in origin. Put on a players jumper....... no nothing to see here.

 

[Andrew..]

I was a little surprised when he was picked for origin and I was hoping the selection would bring more urgency to his game. Hopefully, he's still building and will achieve his full potential in the next few years. With Burbo still being a work in progress; the loss of Lawton and the possible loss of Lodge could be problematic next season.

 

[Hertera]

Got his big money 7 year deal and now delivers a duck egg these big deals need to be looked at. The same with Paseaka new deal now gone to bludge town.

They should say nothing to see here ... but the damage is done

His three best mates played well .... used to be Sea eagles

Think he just answered the criticism lately. Was absolutely in destruction mode tonight. Please keep it up Haumole.

Agree he was great tonight... but also think a lot of the criticism has been justified...

He was VERY unlucky to get 10min last week but his impact has been minimal for an extended period and has looked plain uninterested at times...
