Interesting times when Smith arrives.

When’s Egan back?
perhaps Sitilli could use a break with the bears to work on his D and learn how to catch a pass….

Walker has definitely improved defensively but isn’t the finished article yet.

trudat and the other point is that he's had a lot of traffic running at him.
he's actually got a better tackle % than joey atm - 31 missed tackles 124 tackles compared to joey 28 missed tackles and 101 tackles.

Sitili should be on the bench at best, Robbo has persisted with him for a season and a half playing 80 mins he just doesn’t have the fitness level or the mentality to do so, when he’s fresh he comes up with lazy arm grabbing rubbish he let AFB straight through two weeks ago then last week (correct me if I’m wrong) but he was the first man up to let Molo straight through or was it SST?
Our defence was so feared in years gone by because of the pressure the inside defender put on the attacker by design I’m sure that was meant to protect the inside shoulder of the adjacent defender, there is no urgency from him it’s like he’s mentality is oh he’s your man, I can’t work out for the life of me why he’s picked ahead of Nat Butcher I’d rather have a defensive wall then a damn turnstile.

Thoughts?

Which other backrower has played better than Sitili this year?

Which other backrower has played better than Sitili this year?

Nat Butcher.

Nat Butcher.

No he hasn’t.
Sitilli has been picked every week Butcher & Angus havnt so that means Robbo is happy with Sitilli. Angus or Butcher havnt been able to nail down the other backrow spot.
