Official Lachie Miller

No defence. He didnt know where he was at times

Not big enough to play wing. Hiroti should have been the fill in.

Yep , we need someone who can bend the line on early tackles in an attacking set & Miller doesn't do that . Realise Hiroti is not a favourite on this forum but certainly would have been better than Miller last night

Fitz looks like he gave in to temptation by picking Miller. The guy has good attacking upside (though I've only really seen speed tbh) but lacks the defensive fundamentals Fitz is suppose to be all about.
But he's not alone in wanting to play with the shiny new toy, I think most of us hoped Miller would break out.

Still shake my head every time I see him submit in a tackle, legs splayed like he's starting a maul... Sigh...

Haven't understood the hype all year tbh, gets dominated in every tackle, refuses to catch the ball on the full, worst defense and positioning I've seen in ages.

But hey atleast he's fast.
If Dykes and Iro aren't ahead of him 2 weeks into pre-season I'll be shocked.

Dykes seemingly ahead already for fullback.
I said a while back Miller is just a Laurie or Savage, can give a flashy highlight and will look good when your teams winning but doesn’t (currently) have the skills of a top fullback.

Hope Fitz does go into pre season with an open mind and may the best man win.

I appreciate the guy is on a steep learning curve but for me he is simply too lightweight , speedy with a step , but it's not enough for a team looking to win a premiership , another on the " only use in emergency situations " .

Really good backup fullback
Probably about what you’d expect as a 5th choice winger

 

[Western Sharkie]

A good offseason developing his halves work a bit more and he would be my choice as a utility on the bench.

Has X factor, has speed, could then cover 1-7

The last 3 words don't belong together

Sorry but a squad filler at best.

He never should have been moved from Fullback. Kennedy was not mentally ready and was way underdone.
We were flying with Lachie at the back.

Not Millers fault. As much as I love Fitz it was a horrible decision to play him on the wing. He is a fullback and that’s it.

I disagree, and it wasn't because of Lachie if we were. Our attack was completely disjointed when he was playing at fullback.

 

[SF]

He had the softest introduction of any player to NRL ever, playing Titans, Dragons, Tigers, Manly, Bulldogs, Knights.

So really his first proper game last night. He looks like a smart enough guy who can learn from it. One nice offload near the end. Has to work on getting that step to take him forward, not sideways.

Our attack was built on Kennedy linking sweep plays as he can’t do anything else. That’s not Millers style.
If we make a play style around Miller or Dykes and our attacks completely different was to hard to change for a few weeks so stuck with what we had done all year.

Whilst I agree with you there, to say we were flying with Miller at the back seems a little, for a lack of a better word, disingenuous

No we weren’t..

This. Can't step round 13.

No we weren’t..

40-6
16-0
38-16

yeh we were, he also attempted to make tackles and support players

we just attacked differently when we was in the side

bringing will back from an injury was a dud move, he didnt want to use his shoulders, his link up game against souths was dreadful
