ALM Rd 9 vs pub team fc

[Stuartmcateer]

i did play the game for over 25 yrs up to State league level as a central defender so have an idea about defence

Your analysis of the game says different.

Kaltak has not been at his best as he has to worry about the team as captain and is playing out of his best position LCB

Another excuse. He captains his country so that shouldn't be an issue.

I agree he has made more mistakes this year resulting in goals to the opposition but

No but, just agree.

Paull does not show the aggression or urgency to play at this level. His positional play is poor

He is learning at this level. He hasn't played 30 plus internationals. But he is improving this season. I don't think he is a starter but could be a decent squad player over time.

Obviously You would pick Paull who has played in less than a handful of wins when he is a starter to Brian a double championship winner

Wasn't DWH a 3x championship winner? And now where is he playing?

For more money overseas?

Acceptable away point, could’ve easily won. But it was just the same old story. No genuine goal threat to compliment the consistent chances created. The ball watching for their shit goal was embarrassing and I hope Jacko really lets Kaltak and Paull know about it. But aside from that everyone was pretty decent, plenty of stand outs. The theo hate is laughable, yeah he wasn’t brilliant but aside from a couple fouls he didn’t really see the ball. Relax people 😂
Eames, Alfie, Doka and especially Noah were my picks of the bunch. Noah really impressed but unsurprisingly ran out of legs, his delivery into the box was excellent. We lost nothing and gained a new dynamic with him there. And even though sains only had 10mins or so, Geeze the defence immediately looked more comfortable and solid. We can 100% build from here.

I have been wondering why he couldn’t get a look in up until now, as for mine Maraugis has been a mixed bag and should have been benched before now. I was dirty that Jacko didn’t give him the last 15 against Adelaide, as there was little to lose and it would have helped him a adjust to game speed last night.

Hopefully he will now be given a proper chance to lock down a spot and I wouldn’t mind seeing him paired with Lucas on that flank like they did with Noah and Faz a couple of seasons back.

Sains will help because...

... he'll replace Paull. I don't rate Paull very highly, mainly because of positional awareness, however I was actually quite impressed with some of his hitherto unforseen drives forward. Amazing what a bit of pressure on your place in the team can do. As we see players return from injury maybe competition for places will drive the team's motivation a bit harder.

In a 343 Paull will play alongside Brian and Sains.
