Latrell Mitchell

[Insider]

I thought Collins was a backrower?

No he's a Prop mate, would like to see him get the nod. Anyone but Jayne actually. Big game to debut in, but we only need him to be willing to have a go and I think he has it in him. If not then I'd prefer Smith over Jane as well.

He was talking about Vunakece, no?

Just he decided that 'Vonakaluluvolcanolulu' was a better way of typing it (to highlight the point that it's an ethnic name).

I figured he was talkin about joseph ratuvakalevulevu

What a BS excuse.

Not an excuse 13, its reality.
Is JWH playing as good or as consistent as he was before his injury?
His carries have no where near the force or aggression that they did before his injury. He was dominating games, when was the last time he dominated a game?

[One Eyed Willy]

If he's not back this year, I doubt he'd be any better next year. He's a big guy with plenty of weight for his knees and a year older, that will count against him. If he was a little bloke like Gordon, he might have more time.

He has shown glimpses of his old self, but not consistently enough, time will tell

I think he's a family man now so his priorities are different. Self preservation is important to him now and it use to not be.

I think it's a combination of his playing weight a lot lower than what he is used to plus the fact that the ACL injury is having an impact.

[<ME>]

I think JWH is doing it tough purely because not as much going with him-Cordner the only exception... Liu has been bland, Guerra increased effort but ineffective in middle, Maubs tries hard but not big and Napa not kicking in like needed him to. Minus Moa and no SST he's very much one man band in middle..

Playing ok for mine. Especially with increased minutes which is great for us. I agree SST won't get back to his best this year. We really miss that 3rd middle prop/lock, and really always have. Massive concern Napa and SST be playing rest of year hurt/coming back..

Don't most footy players have children in their early to mid 20s ?

Can't see that being a reason for having less impact on the field.

I sure don't like it when I see that knee strapped up like it is every game.

most footy players have about 20 women in their early to mid 20's every week

Didnt you watch the game?

Yeah but you didn't answer my question.

fair point 13, I just don't see the physicality in him this year much like last year. Before his injury he was 150+ m per game. He struggles to make 100

[Mickie Lane]

Yeah but you didn't answer my question.

Because its a dumb question if you watched the game.

We used to do alright against Brissy ...last couple of years they have had our measure.
There was just so many things wrong with this last game ..it was a zillion things.
This wouldve been the whole team for above .

Do you guys reckon Latrell will play v Saints. The Saints attacking Right edge is bloody dangerous with Aiken, Frizell & Co
