Round 2 v Bulldogs at AAMI Park

[Mstorm1999]

Nothing against Anderson, but IMO just don’t see much in him and don’t see any real potential.
Doesn’t offer much speed & strength & isn’t a strong ball carrier either. In this age of the nrl you have to have at least one of those attributes in the backline.

It’s why Penrith have been so dominant the last two years & went back to back, they have very strong ball carriers in the back line to help the forwards out and then the spine can play at their best off the back of all the momentum & fast play the balls.

Agree with you. I find our outside back depth pretty uninspiring TBH. They're all either pretty vanilla or have peaked in their careers (Seve, Ieremia, Jennings, Young T and Anderson). Only Sua and Warbrick show any real potential. That part of the field needs a complete overhaul IMO.

Lucas a bit harsh on Young Tonumaipea but valid point re: the other depth backs.

Xavier Coates, Chris Lewis and Joe Chan drop out of squad.

Time to unleash the Pez?

Would think it's a good chance? Can't see a winger staying on the bench

Bradley for Anderson. Pez to 6. Wishart to the bench

Id like to see that, no better time to get experience into youngins

Ah so Bradley on the bench for some reason. Good luck to him on debut.

I can’t believe another random guy has gotten his debut before Howarth. Feel like the fan base is getting trolled at this point.

I'd have thought the club would have given us some kind of info regarding his status, it is now open to conspiracy theories. My theory is relationship breakdown with the club and both parties don't like each other and neither are ready to pay out and part ways so it's reggies forever. Happy to be wrong.

[Lucas]

How about these jumpers?! Phenomenal!

Not harsh. Accurate.

[blazza18]

No player looks more out of depth in first grade than Anderson. I don’t get why he was brought back.

Because he had that one great game on debut....
It's like they're trying to capture lightening in the bottle.
I feel for the guy tbh, he got lucky, now there's just a mountain of expectation that he's unlikely to ever climb

[SunshineCoastStormer]

I don’t want to pick on players but how you can pick Anderson over Fa’alongo is beyond me…

[blazza18]

Lot of arm grabbing from Loiero. Been poor.

We look so slow and nowhere near athletic enough in comparison to the dogs. Getting run off the park.
