That’s exactly what I meant we have no nouse and it not just the half backs.

Also Poching is not up to the job. Please explain why anyone in there right mind would tinker with the back line! Why break up a partnership that has done so well this year, sorry but it’s idiotic imho.

As for Lino, one of the worst HB I’ve ever seen at the club, what people see in him is beyond me. He’s not in the same class as Finn or Smith or even Brad Walker. When will we see past the accent!

I don’t think Lino is bad, far from it, however I do think we were sold a false dream when he was signed.

It was made out like we were bringing in a controlling half the line of which we hadn’t seen since Finn.

I said at the time on here he was more of a strike half than an orchestrator, it was clear to see from anyone that had seen him play before he signed however Chester seemed to think different.

Miller had Lino simply don’t work both need an organiser to play with them.

Next year there is the opportunity to resolve that with Milky moving on.

I’m not sure who they go for to replace Miller that fits the bill however Williams has been released by Canberra and he is the kind of player we need.

I reckon we will wait to see what turns up after the World Cup regarding some players as it’s easier to get players visas sorted after playing in a World Cup, it’s some weird loop hole apparently. Who knows there might be some Gun NSW player who has a breakthrough tournament. I think Williams would be a decent option but didn’t he turn us down before we signed Lino.

Yes 100%, that’s why it could actually work out well. If our SL status goes right down to the wire, each week we could be losing out on potential targets. With this been a WC year it could unearth potential players who might not of got the light shone on them for the tier 2 nations.

I have posted on another topic that Hall is still relatively inexperienced which comes with young players. This in the game yesterday cost us a chance to draw level when he failed to pass after the hooter sounded despite having support on both sides. I suppose this falls into the lack of ability throughout the team, he has a chance to learn but for others maybe a little too late.

been saying that since the day he arrived , his only saving grace was his kick percentage and he hasn’t even been doing particularly well at that

Tackling - turnstile
Taking on the line 1 out of ten,
Creating a try or break - averages about 1 every three games
Kicks from hand in play - I can kick it aimlessly down field

Has to be not only the worst half back I ve seen but also in the top three of overseas signings

At least miller tries his heart out , and occasionally has a fantastic game - can only think the wigan rumours were created by his agent -

Re: Loads of effort no ability : Mon Aug 08, 2022 9:08 pm  

Last two games his stats are
Tackles 19 Missed 2
Tackles 30 Missed 1

I think he is working hard on his tackling.

Think looking at some recent events not only does it put life into perspective but im led to believe that alot of the lads are still very close with danny k and also with jack , one player in picticuler who been put down by some matbe not on here but on social media,the lads are only human and will of been affected so think its more than right to lay off for this week,
