At what point do we start to worry about our defence ?

We have the competition worst for and against and most points scored against leaked another 20 plus to a team that’s struggled to score points

Ciro was framed as some defensive guru but he’s failed on this aspect thus far

Ciro confirmed Flanagan is back next week

Fml
What's the point of whining about flanno? No matter who we play, we will never get a 50/50 call, the opposition will get away with murder and we will cop dodgy decisions that will cost us the game.

Ciro said flanno will get an opportunity and probably next weekend. He didn’t say Reed was out though, so maybe Flanno on the bench instead of Rajab

I am prepping the Rob Schneider meme "oh no we suck again".

Our next 2 points will be the bye! As long as Dragons & Tigpies keeping losing and we stay above them.

about 13 rounds ago. I’m not going to judge until he’s had a year under his belt without all the injuries.

I don’t get the Averillo point (no use moving him again)

If you have someone just as equally capable of playing that position …

And Averillo could greatly strengthen a weaker position … why is it no use moving him again ?

Let's have Patolo & Brown playing consistently dominating performances in NSW CUP before they get an opportunity in FG.

Because he won't be fullback next year, CC will play Crichton there. I want Avo to extend his contract, continuity is whats best for him after being fucked around for many years.

I get that, but I don’t see him as a FB either … I think he’s the attacking 6 we need … his skills are wasted at centre … he needs to be in there using his speed to run it and get his hands on the ball a lot more ..

Kiraz can do exactly what he does at centre, maybe even better & Averillo can strengthen the 6 position ..

Look forward to seeing Pele and TPJ in the same team as interchange for each other. Both have the ability to bend the line on their day.

1. Wilson
2. Fox

5. Kiraz if fit. If not Skelton for yardage
6. Burton
7. Nu Brown (to steady the ship and execute 7 plays)
8. King
9. Ciro said Flanno
10. Tpj
11. Preston
12. Morrin
13. Edwards

14. Rajab
15. Pele
16. Patolo/Hughes/Thompson
17. Hughes/Patolo/Thompson

No OKi, Waddle, Perhaps Sutton
Not a bad side.. Wendog.......I would like to see Wilson given a shot at FB and I think that Nu Brown could work at 7. I am a bit concerned about Max King and while he has been our best forward with Preston, I think that his game has dropped off a little in the past month.....I think that he is either carrying an injury or is just plain bloody tired. Not convinced with Okunbor.....he has not made 100 meters in any game since his switch to the forwards.....

Okunbor back to the bench for backline coverage.
Topine can cover hooker from the top 13 if needed, & Rajab covers the havles.

Perham gone. Waddell gone. Sutton gone.
Flanagan? C'mon. We have to start building combinations for 2024 (unfortunately, that loss has most likely reduced our finals chances to "mathematical" status). Time to get on with players that are likely to be here next year. Flanagan ain't one of them.
