Trent made a big mistake moving Big Joe to centre.

[Rocky Rhodes]

Trent, this ain't it, Big Joe is a terrible first grade centre - he has no positional instinct in either attack or defense, it's a complete shambles - he needs to be back on the wing effective immediately, he's fantastic as the widest man.

Don't overthink it.

Big Joe and Toops on the wings.
Manu and Momo in the centres.

Cut the shit Trent.

Agree but wouldn't go as far as calling big money Joe as a terrible centre...leave that to Hutch.

Money Joe's best value to the team is on the Wing atm...his best assets is under the high ball and hard run backs. Those assets are best suited to the wing.

That is our best backline IMO. Maybe in the final third of the season when we are playing catchup Trobbo will work it out, like with Keary / Walker swap last yr.

My pre-game tip was Melbourne by 30. I'm sorry I didn't make it public on here beforehand.

Well you were wrong. We lost by 20.

I’m just playing 13, I know fk all.

Yes Mate I know that. I was only stirring.

[Sentimentinel]

Don’t forget about Latrell either Robbo dumped him
back to reserve grade for a season and it took him time to become the best centre in the game also.

You’re speaking to much sense mate to all the panicked, impatient, resident super coaches on this forum they want results immediately.

Its typical of the day and age we live in mate everyone wants the best things straight off the bat coz who didn’t own a Ferrari when they were 17 or who’s first house wasn’t a mansion in Vaclause being 18 and the first job that dropped in their lap was being a Surgeon.

Anyone with even an ounce of common sense knows it takes time to build confidence and cohesion and combinations being able to a read play and making the right decision this will come in time it’s round 5.

Our biggest competition is ourselves, even when we were double champs our completions weren’t to crash odd but our defence was just on point and no 6A we haven’t adapted our play to this rule change on top of that the NRL have clearly been cracking down on late and forceful hits for years now.

Radley’s stupidity was the final nail in the coffin on top of our already poor discipline, sprinkle in a few 6Agains some penalties and that’s all she wrote.

But you know this, that much I can see you can’t argue with dumb mate.

Fkn hell, I think I just found my soulmate on here. Well said.

And yet a weaker Storm side beat Souths, and a similar Storm side lost to the Bulldogs by a similar score to last night.

Stop panicking and realise that everyone has off games, especially early in the season. It’s a long season, there are very impactful players returning soon, and we have time to find our mojo.

The first 10 rounds of 2018 was all over the shop. 5-5 weren't we by then? I think we're better placed at the moment, especially like you say, more players filtering in and plenty of season to go.

Whilst this is a total bait post that offers nothing I was a schoolboys state champion in league and squash at the same time so please just bugger off.

Big Joe has no instinct for centre, he is being misused by the coach period - it's a complete shambles watching him week after week and there's no reason for it. We need Joe in the back 3, his returns and hitups starting our sets, and he being a giant target out wide to end sets were a big reason for our winning streak at the end of last season, he'll be gone by the end of next season so why oh why he needed to move the guy I'll never understand. Stick him on the wing where he's clearly more comfortable and bring back an actual centre to play centre - no more Drew, Angus, Nat Butcher fill in nonsense.

Cut the shit Trent.

If big Joe was hanging around I'd be all for the short term pain for long term gain with him In the centres, . Very similar to what Joey Manu went through. Now we all know he is leaving we need to play him where we can get the most value and I believe that's on the wing atm

[Carlos Parra]

Well you were wrong. We lost by 20.

I also tipped the Bye to win by 30.

[rcptn]

Kinda dumb he was one of our most dangerous and hard too contain. The problem was the teams lack of possession and the wet conditions therefore Sualli didn't get much ball out wide.

[John Corey]

Said this before the season started. In today's game big athletic wingers have greater impact than a centre. He is worth more to us playing on the wing. And that has nothing to do with last night's fiasco.
And now he is going, who cares what his preference is
