Pity Flanagan prefers old has-beens than giving the youth a shot.

they cant keep losing with the side they have and if they do, he will have to get a run soon. hes absolutely killed it in this game so far.

i also want dylan walker in my side. seen him in charity shield absolutely kill it and tonight has been no different.

matt lodge went to my school hes improved heaps from what iv'e seen.

klemmer has been disappointing, and george jennings looks as dangerous as his brother but his first try shouldnt have been awarded.
 
Mateo to Dragons firming up?

I wouldn't mind cashing him in, it would allow for a new culture at the Warriors, I think he and Tony Williams went to the same school of 'hard yakka.' Spends half his time on the field asleep and not fully pitching in. Should do his NSW chances good too if he gets motivated to perform again in a new environment.
 
Put Mateo in a great team that he doesn't feel like he needs to try anything and everything and I think he would show his full potential. He is class but tries to overplay his hand way too often.
 
Fifita has been amazing, how he isn't starting for City and a certainty for NSW amazes me. Gallen has been poor this season IMO and Lewis is still finding his way.
Gal is at his best when he knows the outcome doesn't revolve around him, he tries way too hard for Cronulla.
On form, Lewis wouldn't be in my NSW side.
 
id have lewis just based on the game the other night. bringing him on completely changed the game, the first half was dominated by NZ
 
lewis and gallen have blinders.

then fifita combines with graham for another great try

put a sharks jersey on and they turn to s*** :(
I'm seeing the same thing with Dogs players in these games. Pritchard had a great game Friday night. Perrett went OK as well, can't hold the ball with a Blue & White jersey on.
Ennis has been pretty good so far today, especially with ball in hand. Different players????
Except for Tony Williams. :whistle:

pritchard always grows a third leg in test matches. to bad he dogs it for club.

dont know about ennis, he didnt do much wrong other than a forward pass but didnt see him do much either.

tony williams, has all the ability but is just plain stupid. if he got the ball at pace he would be like george burgess scoring tries and breaking tackles. but half the time he over'walks' it and is standing in front of the person trying to pass the ball or gets it flatfooted.

Gallen has been off a but this year and I think it is because the Sharks have such a great pack this year and are not as reliant on him for their go forward or second phase play. I always thought that aside from Gallen's motor his biggest strength was committing 3 or 4 defenders and then popping an offload but this year he just seems to be taking the ball for a hit up or offloading well and truly before the line almost like a 5/8. His ball to put Lewis away the other night was sensational though.

I couldn't believe Fensom didn't get a country jersey this year; he may not be flashy but always omits two or more defenders and carries them over the advantage line. His de
Fence is superb, 50+ tackles per game, rarely and alot of dominant and one on one tackles. He is the kind of player you can build a around like Brad Clyde.
 
TWilliams will play well towards the end of his contract....

That's what every one said about Mateo - last year of contract, giving up alcohol, making a real go of trying to be selected for origin. He can barely be bothered to make tackles. I know it is hard to look good in a team like the Warriors, but he is the most vilified player in NZ at the moment. Many will be happy to see him go; I'm not one of them, because I think he is a confidence player that will rise again, but I wouldn't be against seeing him spend some time in the NSW Cup.
