Brad Takarangi must be in the 17 every week.

[Jacks Fur Coat]

Yeah he seems to add something big Tak. Size and skill.

[Guest]

Last I checked centres weren't sposed to tackle wingers either.

Without Taka we lose 13+. He set up 2 tries FFS, but I suppose you like idiots like arona doing their "honest toiler" work and taking one out settlers every tackle

And with him he cost us the game with his stupid decision to try and intercept that pass that lead to the second last try

That's life, and that's rugby league.

If only Pearce pushed across on Inglis, maybe a try would not have been scored.
If only SKD(?) tried to score by transferring the ball to his left hand to put it down.
If only BJ waited until the Rabbit's cleaned up the ball in goal and forced a drop-out instead of going for the try.
If only we kicked a penalty goal (we didn't score a try until a few sets later).
If only the video ref awarded BJ's try (no excuses for that).
If only the team ran harder to chase and shut down the final play of the game (reverse angle showed so many players jogging down-field - surely there was something in the tank to make a last ditch effort considering the game was about to slip away).

We could go on and on. Every moment has impact on the final result, we wouldn't have come close had Seluini not come on and if the guys didn't start getting quick play the balls.

I can't pin the loss on one player. With 10 minutes to go I said to myself that I would have rathered be 4 points down with 5 minutes to go than 10 points up.

Pity the dope cost us the game with his attempted intercept which he was nit even close to

Without Taka we dont' near winning that game. Give this bloke game time and he will develop into a better Mateo.

Chook.

But they do. Taka was great. Its just the dumb inexperience of youth that cost us with his rushing out of the line. He otherwise was very good and looks to become a star.

[Guest]

Taka is the 5/8th we are needing at the moment,til Maloney is here next year..
Unfortunately we get no attack from our halves,so Taka is a must to fill in that role and create some oppurtunities as he did last night.
Next year when we have a real 5/8th in our team,we wont need to rely on Taka as much..

[Guest]

He's no 5/8th. But deffinatley our most creative and 'ab lib' player.that is the direction Smith is supposed to be taking the player group too.
But fair dinkum, park footballers concede tries off kick offs not first graders. Just sums up the season in 20sec of football, just lazy and dumb football

well it was taka that actually let the two trys in... Hes got that big hit ot nothing mentality,

I think we do have the talent its just the maturity that lets us down... Thats where the actual so called leaders should be stepping in.

Take for instance Brisbane everyone talks about their young guns but its guys like thaiday and parker and before that darren that kept them in check and their getting the rewards for it..

Change of leadership is vital and coaches need to take more of the blame without coaches their no good team!!

[Thirteen]

When will people learn Anasta is not a lock.

.....but didn't his hair look great last night!

[John Corey]

And running out wide, he has the skills and can cause havoc one on one.

Chook.

Agree 1000% Chook. This guy is a 5/8 in a big man's body. He is a player that can do great things and has to be there. I also think Guerra was huge. Great attacking player who can sniff out a try. Did a lot of tackling as well.

[Rooster_Luke]

Agree 100%

[Spanner in the works]

End of next year FPN out Taka in?

[roosterproud]

taka is good of the bench and then should stay. he is how maubs used to be but with a damn good kicking game

[Guest]

He didn't get many opportunities against souths. Every time he gets the ball we look look. I like him when he gets good early ball.

[roosterproud]

i think taka and seluini are gouing to work well if they are on the field at the same time
