Game Round 6 - Dogs vs Sharks - Pre/Post Game Thread

I think JMK is more of an issue than Lewis as I don't believe our guys are afforded the same time upon receiving the ball as other clubs.. Need to get Katoa in who has much quicker service than Jeremy

I agree jmk is very average as a starting 9. I still think he'd make a decent bench player. I have absolutely no faith in lewis, there were times in our earlier games he almost pushed his own team mates out of the way to make a tackle, and seems to be trying to show everyone he's a superstar when he comes across as a reserve grader at best.

Part of that is on pay imo

Jmk and Lewis are a big issue I’m sick of Lewis just bombing.

I guess in the case of Lewis, we really don't have anyone better, but we saw over the Summer that Kotoa might bring something to the table, which JMK still has not.. JMK is just another Mbye in that we will keep playing him in hope, but it's just never going to happen

We have wakeham, based on little I've seen of him I think he offers infinitely more than lewis.

Katoa played one trial, played well and hasn't been sighted since

I think Wakeham has proved himself and deserves a spot over Lewis

It's really a no-brainer

But it is pay so I guess that explains it

Yeah Wakeham has good instincts and a feel for the game, I just hope he asserts himself next time he's in the FG team.. Lachy is so frantic I hope playing with Kieran might help him change his ways

I really don't understand it.. maybe Katoa pissed Pay off or something, because a centre was picked over him for a bench hooker role even

Makes you think what happens in that brain of his.

It’s pay he picks players based on training lol

I see where you're coming from, but to me lewis doesn't know how to read a play, can't pass properly, rushes out of the line and has been the cause for seven tries scored against us this year.
He put several horrible kicks in against manly, his only decent one in the 70 minute averillo stole the grubber Lewis put in (which he intended on regathering himself). That to me is a rightful F*** you to a supposed "senior" playmaker for hogging the ball and coming up with spastic options all game while trying to be the superstar.

To me pay has nfi, and it gets worse each week.

yea fair enough.. I'd like to see Wakeham get some game time with Kieran because I don't think Brandon can build his game with Lachlan getting in the way and messing sh*t up.

whilst I would agree, same was said last year but then the Titans continued to outdo our shitness, and this year is looking no different but to be fair I did think we looked better in attack against Saints and I don't read much into the Roosters game because they will do that to opposition all season

Not saying will get the spoon but will be favourites to get it especially if pay keeps fucking around with players positions.

We have to top quality wingers inDWZ an smith and pay play’s them is in the centres SMH.

Pay needs to put the best players in there position and stop screwing around.

Yeah that's the irony isn't it, we actually have the players to create a strong backline, and there is a couple of ways he could do so... yet he seems to do it all wrong... it looked good against Saints though I will say, I don't think that win was a case of us being the less shit team on the day, which is normally how a lot of our wins go
