Uate....what is going on?

[lillchip]

6 runs for 44 metres while Jorge made 18 runs.

Clearly lazy as all hell.

How is this even vaguely forgivable?

Should be immediately dropped.

 

[Eagles2nv]

Without Walker, most of our play has been on the left.

Watch Turbo as well, he is hanging round mostly the left side.

Croker is also new, so DCE is covering the whole field.

With Walkz back in the next 2 weeks (hopefully) things will change.

He will be, from Survivor by Friday!

 

[Spartan Eagle]

It's the same form that saw him languishing in the reggies at Newcastle

 

[Mr Manly 007]

Uate needs to start performing. Also , Anderson is playing well in reserve grade, as are several other outside backs.

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

He can take his poor defensive reads, clueless expression and exaggerated hairstyle elsewhere.

 

[MadMarcus]

He clearly seems to be the one putting his hand up to make space for Walker to return.

 

[Nordburg]

Interesting the reaction of people to Uate’s form.As I said last year after he had a good game and everyone was bagging the Knights for having him in reserve grade,his true value will be revealed in 2018 when Manly are paying his full contract and the motivation to prove Newcastle wrong is on the wane

 

[damiennp90]

Most of Jorges run meters are the tough ones coming out of our half. Nothing to do with what side were going to.

He has to get in there more to help the forwards. Especially when we're going backwards.

 

[Shoe1]

I have been most disappointed with his knock ons in our own 10 metres.

 

[Bearfax]

Two changes that wont happen now but I think will occur soon. Anderson for Uate, Hastings or Tom Wright for Croker. When Walker comes back I suspect another option is Parker for the wing, though I would prefer someone faster...perhaps Kelly on the wing, Parker at centre. But I like Anderson and feel he needs to be in the side soon. Also noted from Smokin' Joe that Tom Wright is doing a lot of the kicking, which a good 5/8 needs to have.

 

[Ned]

Yeah, would like to see a big improvement from Uate for sure.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Yeah, would like to see a big improvement from Uate for sure.

May well be missing Walker.

As good as Parker is when he actually gets the ball he tends to go himself rather than pass on!

We're missing Walker for sure but Uate's issues under the high ball are back with a vengeance this season and I don't see it going away any time soon.

 

[Bearfax]

Anderson plays a lot of full back as does Tom Wright and both are great under the high ball. These two need to be in the side at some stage. I also still think Parker would make a great lock or relief back/forward on the bench.

Hopefully it’s just a case of missing his buddy walker.. the whole team say walkers the energiser bunny that rallies the boys together at training etc
Uate probably feeds off that, they’re as close off the field as they are on it. I wouldn’t ‘drop’ his confidence before Dylan makes his comeback as that would cause too much shuffling.
It does cross my mind that Uate might have a habit of getting comfy and enjoying the ride too much once he feels a sense of belonging like he did in Newcastle once he felt the rep scene hade made him a locked in 1st grader. But he’s so humble in nature I’m sure he’s grateful and just missing Walker

That's a really good point. A lot of the big moments in the close games last year came off the back of Walker. Our right side has suffered both defensively and in attack big time with him on being on the sideline.

 

[The Who]

The Faders have two of the best wingers in the comp. Without Jorge, and given Uate's current form, we have two of the weakest.
It's not hard to predict where Canberra will attack. There will be sweeping backline movements and a plan to minimise forward play.

That makes sense to use there strengths to attack Manlys weakness, but I reckon they will attempt to use Boyd, Paula and the big boppers through the middle first, after watching Souths dominate so easily up front last week.
As for Uate....please have faith in your inside men and stop coming in, giving your opposition winger a saloon passage to the try line...

 

[bob dylan]

Should never have been signed. The reason he was in second grade at the Knights wasn't just his onfield performance.

Another master stroke.
