Waddell

[Huge]

If he's fit and healthy he'll offer the same or better than McCullough. We have much bigger problems than the hooking position. We are not good enough to win it this year and although for minutes at a time we look okay we are not top quality. We are only just top eight in reality but at times we look 16th. Hopefully Waddell gets a run and let's no one down.

He's a Qcup hooker and he just needs to defend well and give good service that's all.

Granted we didn't play great last night but not top 8? If we are going to hate on the team, at least have some perspective. Outside of a motivated bulldogs team early on and game against Melbourne when we were missing 4 of our best players, we have looked like a top 4 side every game... unfortunately, teams pick up against us, we are a team that other teams circle on the nrl draw at the start of the year to prove they are the real deal. This is where we are having trouble as a club, the storm, the roosters, the cowboys and the sharks all manage this better then us as they have experience of being the hunted rather then the hunters.

He said only just top eight. And if we dish up more of that shit from last night in the coming weeks, we will be battling for a top eight instead of top four finish. Good points, though. It seems to be all in our mentality. We've got the ability and talent, no doubt, but we need some mental toughness. The problem is too many sooks in the team, Darbs reverts to it fairly quickly if things aren't going our way, Milf sooks in tackles, Hunt sooks all game. Some of the forwards go into a shell and stop looking for offloads.

Agree with all of that... although we did play bad last night it wasn't as bad as what people are making out though. we need to give parra some credit and surely we won't get as badly reffed again this season. They should have had a player 10 in the bin at least, and when we were 12 up the refs wanted to make a game of it. Not blaming the refs for the loss but it made us look worse then we were I think..

Same or better than McCullough, Thank you for the laugh.
We'll get more out of Niko/Benji/Hunt/Moose

 

[meady]

when will you get another run bro??

like ol trav as a stop gap while the team is otherwise cruising along smoothly.. but loathe to give him too much responsibility given the way our forwards and halves are derping the **** out of 2017

Still suffering some old age issues with the knee but should be fine to return to the field soon.

 

[Alec]

Gotta be Hunt at hooker, but it'll probably by Waddell + Niko.

 

[Battler]

Hunt at hooker would be shocking in D, but surely he gets a go.

 

[Old Mate]

Waddell is shithouse, Hunt to Hooker for sure.

 

[Number6]

Waddell might be useful for first 20 or 30 to soak up the defence then hunt after.

Waddell doesn't offer a kick, much running or organising.
