Weekes - need's Blacktown ASAP

[Nordburg]

Several I suspect looking for a classy potential full back. Dogs, Warriors, Dolphins, Cowboys, Knights, Dragons. Their present custodians are good but who knows.

Crichton is going to the Dogs to play fullback
Warriors have CNK and RTS is on the way
Dolphins have The Hammer
Cowboys have Drinkwater
Knights have Ponga,who is playing fullback this week and Miller
Dragons have Sloan,who is hot and cold,and Ramsey,who is the same.
Weekes is not taking any of those players spots

Newcastle are looking to keep Ponga out of full back and so Miller is a make shift. Drinkwater is doing well but he's a five eighth playing out of position because they have Dearden (who's played SOO) and on the rise, and Townsend their captain at half. They didnt have a good enough full back so Drinkwater moved back. Crichton may play full back at the dogs but he denies that's a factor in his move. The dogs dont have a strong centre pair and wouldnt be surprised if that is where Crichton ends up.

Weekes is not the messiah, nor is he anywhere near a first grader.
Another total disappointment vs Newcastle.

He would be the absolute worst defender in the NRL if Copper Johns wasn't in our team.

 

[Merdy33]

Yeah, I can see the other clubs smashing down our door to sign him after today.

He had everything to play for today, including his career. Just too passive.

Unfortunately your right
Was a star in the juniors where defence is not as important
I feel he came through as a star , but has not been able to adjust to the rigours of NRL.....hope he can, but simply a big letdown so far.

Yeh sadly been given more than enough chances. Koula starting to look the same too.

He needs to return to Blacktown and take Johns with him, Johns should never see firsts again

I think Koula still has a lot of upside un his game. It's been tuff for him since he got back from his knee injury.

And the fact that he is still only 20

Where is Ray Vaega. Surely him or even Tuipolutu to wing and Garrick to fullback was the logical choice for today.

Garrick was immense today

 

[Marto1970]

John's doesn't help, he made Parker's defence look ordinary when he played that side

Easy to be wise after the event.

Plenty of Weekes fans here and he needed to be given one more opportunity. Unfortunately, he wasn't up to it.

I think a few poster on here painted him as the massiah…… based on some games he played in the lower grades… same with A Hopoate!!!

Always ends in tears!

Just sayin’

Yeah he needs time in reggies for 18 months.
He did not help Schuey at all in 2nd half in attack, defence wise needs work and was out jumped by Best.

Passive seemed to be the theme of the day for the backs.
