There's really no point in changes because Pay doesn't have much of a clue atm. Players look down in confidence, look unfit, no real game plan, terrible defensive system, etc.
This has been something obvious for the past few years - the team looks unfit. There is no energy left to close out a game, and they are steamrolled late in each half. With the best training facilities in the NRL, why can't our players last the distance?

Team list next week should be:

Mbye
B Morris
J Morris
Hopoate
Olive
Foran
Lewis
Klemmer
Brown
Woods
RFM
To’omaga
Jackson

Fualalo
Priest
Martin
JMK

*Lichaa, Elliott, Fine, Montoya dropped.
For goodness sake Dean, make some hardline changes and have some faith in these guys to step up! The team is second last and guys like To’omaga, Brown and Lewis are having blinders in ISP can’t get a break ffs! Back in your day, these blokes would have got a shot because the Bulldogs set high standards!!

Frawley cost us the game in NSW Cup last week. Should be in Ron Massey with Cleeland.


1. Josh Cleeland is shithouse. When Zac Woolford is back on deck it should push Frawley/Lewis and Nu Brown into the halves, and Cleeland to Ron Massey where he belongs.
2. Lichaa at lock? No ... just... no.
3. Clay Priest is a Lock/Second Rower, not a prop.

I'd like to see:
1. Mbye
2. BMoz
3. JMoz
4. Hoppa/Olive/Holland
5. Hoppa/Montoya/Holland
6. Lewis
7. Foran
8. Tolman
9. JMK
10. Woods
11. Jackson
12. To'omaga
13. RFM (let him play both sides of the field).

14. Fine
15. Eastwood
16. Tualau/another prop
17. Ogden/another prop/super sub

Then when Eastwood comes on, RFM drops to second row, and To'omaga rested.
JMK has been good in defence but average in attack. Swapping Lichaa out for JMK would not improve or change anything.

Considering the 5 day turn around.... we'll have the same team.

Same Lichaa giving terrible service from DH, providing no attacking vision.
Same JKM doing nothing in the halves but tackle. Getting RFM frustrated.
Same Elliot at lock doing sweet FA.
Same Jackson on the esge getting wasted.
Same klemmer being a battering ram.
Same woods being dorothy v2.
Same fololo providing nothing from the bench.
Same Holland (a centre) playing 15 minutes at hooker....


Im becoming more of a fan of putting Klemmer on the bench... raiders did it to Shannon Boyd, they have looked better as an 80minute team since doing so. We cant have woods and klemmer both off at the same time.

He needs to make changes and fast. The season is slowly slipping away. We were up 12-2. Pay decides to bring the majority of the bench onto field and we end up conceding before and just after half time. He honestly needs to learn how to make use of bench better.
Such a good point.

If Toomaga doesn’t get a call up, and if Lichaa doesn’t get replaced by brown, then Pay is Des Hasler’s cousin
Even Hasler wanted rid of Lichaa in the end.
After defending him for a season and a half, yes even stubborn as a mule Hasler gave up on the bloke.

To’omaga has been playing well all year. Up until now hasn’t had a lookin. As others have said. Due to the short turnaround Frawley & Martin are the only ISP players a chance to get a run.

But judging on previous weeks they will be number 18 & 19. With the current side being unlucky & as everyone can see they are improving.

As much as I think players like Eastwood are not the same he is still better then fafulo and talau or fine for that matter..

Only players I see given a shot are

Brown at 6
Holland banished
Jmk on the bench
And we can use olive speed and send moytana back to reserves


We don’t have the depth to bring players in...
