The Greenhouse

Woodgers

Not only is Bateman the best man for the middle, he also plays his best football in the middle, and prefers it there, he’s said as much himself. And Tapine and Whitehead both play their best football on the edges and prefer it there. This one isn’t rocket surgery, it’s strange to me that it’s even ...

Woodgers

Great addition. Very pleased to see Joe back.

Woodgers

Sounds like we're reading tea leaves. Freddy got the culture pretty right last time. If he decides Fergo is a better bet than Cotric to keep that going (when talent is on par & age favours Cotric) then Freddy is as dumb as he sounds (prepared to entertain the current argument that he is not dumb, j...

Canberra Raiders closer than past fortnight suggests It was Canberra's second close loss in two weeks, but don’t try and compare this current iteration of the side to the one that made narrow defeats an art form last season. "We've given ourselves opportunities to be in the fight and they're two of...

Woodgers

Fair enough, it's improving but it is still a deficiency in our attack at this point in time. He looks like a smart player and a guy willing to learn so I think his passing game will pick up dramatically the more time he spends in the top grade. I'm still worried he doesn't have that acceleration an...

Woodgers

Agree on James Roberts, Pat.

Woodgers

I don’t think Fittler hates the Raiders at all and I know I’m in a minority but I think he’s got more footy smarts than most pundits in the game but poor articulation. I think he’s less likely to pick a Raider because he’s one of the most Sydney centric people in the game. Imagine the volume of NSWR...

Great, so now Woodgers wants CNK dropped. Typical Greenhouse

. As you know I’m not invested in the halfback argument either way but what I would say is I’m not sure we’ve had a player who deserved to be dropped in 2019 so far....

Woodgers

Hope so GE. I think the key to the sweep is the initial pace from behind the ruck to create the extra man before the defence can shift. I think that and some other stats i've seen show that Jack is deceptively quick and helped him get really good at that play.

Woodgers

I was pretty happy with that performance, we're going alright. Dunno if already mentioned but the main issues that I think need addressing: - Too one-dimensional and predictable in the opposition 20. Need to work on some variety to eliminate the endless crash balls. - Need to find a way to get CNK m...

I don’t think size is an issue really because he’d probably be marking Michael Morgan.

Yeah fair point but will they know that for sure when at the selection table? Morgan being played out of position would even up the margin for Croker changing sides too.

Woodgers

This exact issue has had me pondering the left side/right side player thing. It is interesting that it seems those specialist threequarters are so specific to their role these days that changing them to the other side of the field could be a disaster in the way they pass, or read the defence or even...

Damn. Just when he was looking like he could go onto bigger things this year. Big loss but we move on.
You might be able to move on, but I CAN'T, DAMMIT! I'M NOT READY TO DEAL WITH THIS!!!

I’ve become very very good at facing adversary

Woodgers

Woodgers

Agree on Wighton, Nickman, he would be wasted out there with the skills he has. Just to echo myself, so would Bateman.

Woodgers

No way you move Wighton. I wasn’t a fan of his move to 5/8 but he is proving me wrong, if he continues the way he is he will be wearing the number 6 for years to come. He is not at 5/8 for a stop gap, he is there to develop long term. Sent from my iPhone using The Greenhouse Agreed. I love what I'm...

Woodgers

I'm glad the Club is getting another opinion. Some doctors have vastly different opinions on treatment. It must be hard to continue in a contact sport, particularly with BJs alpha male playing style. I agree with the side selected in that Oldfield will get first crack at right center. Why shuffle 2...

Woodgers

Whitehead or Wighton to Centre? Or Bateman when he’s back!!! Wighton to centre and bring Sezar in surely! Can’t continue to have a $500k a year player sitting in Reserve grade for to long Sent from my iPhone using The Greenhouse Not a chance in the world i'd be moving Wighton now. On the other poin...

Woodgers

Terrible luck if he is out for the year. He must have been close to Origin when you look at the right centre options and how poorly Roberts is going.

Turn a negative into a positive and give Cotric a go there like others have been saying. That would be our best option.

I'm with Nickman, I like to give all players a clean slate to start the year so I hesitantly do the same with Ricky due to the reasons mentioned first up.

And as Tony Grieg used to say "A grudge is just a place to park your....cannon"

YES! I was wiv ya all the way Nickman.

Woodgers

I agree with you both Edwahu and NR, Jack is more likely to do something so gets the ball. That makes perfect sense to me. The points I’m making is Williams is being criticised for his involvement which I think is unfair. The bloke has holes in his games but if people are going to pelt him then it ...

Woodgers

I just think it's funny that given how many close losses we have had with Sezer running the ship the past few years we turn on his replacement so quickly. Williams isn't setting the world on fire but he is doing enough to help the team get over the line. I would think his error count is very low am...

Woodgers

I would be aiming for the least disruption possible. We want the same middle rotations that have been winning us games to give us the best chance against the benchmark. Sia leads that energy at the first interchange, I wouldn’t want to mess with that. Agree with Whitehead on the right so the best op...

Woodgers

Fair enough mate. Point taken.

Woodgers

Most of the major points are covered but just a few other short ones. That was easily Whitehead's best game of the year on both sides of the ball. I was really impressed with his game. Keep him on the right next week against Cordner and Mitchell I reckon and find a replacement at left edge. I think ...

Woodgers

Because if the hooker doesn't go himself, he prefers to pass the ball to Jack. Or it could be a coach directive, your guess is as good as mine. As I said 3 weeks ago, we are a team of ball carriers. So if you look at the way we set up with the ball and play, we're mostly trying to break teams down w...

Woodgers

Defense was excellent. Same with Oldfield on that same side. Looked like an Achilles heel pre-game but they stood up to the test. He still needs to do more with the ball. Only 21 touches compared to Jack's 51. 0 run metres from those 21 gets as well. Too much catch and pass stuff. I agree with you ...

Sezer drops off the bench, definitely not playing tomorrow. This is going to get ugly.

Yes I can imagine Ricky in the change room before the game.....
RS: "Jack, how's your arm?"
JW "It's feeling great boss"
RS: "Good take this note to the referee, we forfeit"

Happy to take your word for it, I didn't see the match so just looked up this for reference: https://www.nswrl.com.au/draw/nsw-cup/2019/round-7/sea-eagles-v-mounties/ The bloke who did the stats must have had Nickman at Shark Park quantity of schooners :lol:.

Woodgers

Im now back in the Sezer camp. Better defender. Just realised that maybe the reason Hodgson is not using the backline enough is because Williams isnt demanding the ball? I've tried to figure this out too. I have no idea. Part of me thinks Hodgo just does whatever he wants. Sam and Jack are told to ...

Woodgers

I'm not firmly in either camp on this debate so i've been staying out of it, but what I would say is using Sam's defence this weekend against Kikau to enhance stats and the point that he can't defend isn't really playing fair. Chances are Sezer would miss any tackle on that behemoth also. He ran ov...
