Uate finished

[nightster]

Don’t feel sorry for him Ryan. He has had a fair run for a ‘confidence player’.

Time for him to go. He has helped to kill the team’s momentum on several occasions this year (Newcastle, Souths, Titans, Tigers) and they’re only six weeks into the season.

Sadly the relative lack of depth probably means that we’re stuck with him until the first week of September.

I really think even Matt Wright would be better on the wing. I'd like to see Jade Anderson get a chance with Brad Parker while Horhay is out

edit - just saw your post Sheikheagle ... obviously I agree

Did he drop the pen at fan signing at club ?

Nobody asked him for a signature today

How much is Uate on?

About 6 tabs of acid during the warm-ups before games.

Why wasn’t uate hooked from the field? We had an able replacement on the bench. Especially straight after the half time spray and uate knocks on with first touch. TB is not a coach that makes tough decisions. Uate has been poor this year and today’s effort was embarrassing from him

Able replacement? is that what you call Matt Wright

Who knows as no-one turned up

WTF!

no wonder he had a shocker

On the other hand, he moves well for a deceased fellow.

Nice work on the part of the club’s team of funeral directors also.

Quite an undertaking.

More to the point can Uate LEARN how to catch?

For a winger who has played 22 test matches (17 for Fiji, 5 for Australia) and 5 Origin games for NSW, he has shocking hands.

How much is Uate on?

A bottle and a half a day, judging by his trembles.

 

[wedgetail eagle]

He might have to drop the Mic...

It certainly wasn't easy conditions yesterday for anyone to catch the ball, but I did get a chuckle out of Uate not knocking the ball on when the ref ruled he didn't even get a finger on it.

I daresay he'll be feeling pretty bad today. I wonder how much practise he does in catching seeing as they have those machines that fire the footy high up: so it's not as if it's wearing some kicker's foot out?

I'm sure he can catch the ones the machines fires at him. it's when he has opposing players running to smash him is the problem

Facing a bowling machine in the nets is all about muscle memory and techniques.
I assume a bombing machine has similar effects.

It is about your headspace and the variables on the day that determine success on field.

Uates head is gone. Confidence on game day is gone.
He needs a break from 1sts.

Can someone please tell me suli carved up in reserve grade and is looking fit?

Tigers game plan: kick to Uate

Agree. Every NRL team's game plan : kick to uate

 

[Brooke]

Bring in Funa, he is in the squad and couldn't possibly be any worst than Uate. He was great for the 20's last year.
