Gotta say I’m not a fan of Wade Egan. I know a few in here wrap him but I find he plays selfish first then team second. I watched the replay of Sunday and 99% of his dummy half play was about him first, ie look to run, look to get fancy, go himself then pass.
thats an interesting view but i think technically he is too “erect” and is not really focussed at dummy half when he needs to be and his “go to” play of barging over from dummy half worked when he was in lower grades but at NRL level he needs more to his game
Martin should be better this week and he needs to be.
Bulldogs will not be a given and hope we don’t think we have this won…they will be tough and with only 6 rounds left we need to win them all
Your right as well SBF he doesn’t give from the ground, that is a quality dummy half trait, those extra second/s mean everything when your attacking.
What puzzles he is why we are running with Luai & Egan on the bench. Surely we would be better dropping one of them & putting another prop or back rower on the bench.
I would have thought so, too. But Egan & Luai have been on the bench the last few games and it generally seems to have worked ok.
Agree with SBF & Kevin re Egan. I don’t think he’s egotistical, but his service from dummy half could be better. Kenny’s is better than Egan’s, but his could also be sharper, IMHO.
Fingers crossed for a win today - we need to get back on the horse after last week. I’m a bit nervous about this game actually, whether we can recapture the winning momentum we built up over 7 weeks. The Knights were on a winning run earlier in the year, lost one & fell in a heap. Don’t want the same thing to happen to us, and the Dogs will not lie down. It’ll be a tough game.
We are 1-17. Have to admit I’m disappointed that Leniu isn’t being given a crack today, it would be good to get a run under his belt in case we need him in the finals.
