You just need to start winning and playing the right way. Ref's on those 50/50's generally go with the better team. With the effort I've seen I can see us turn a corner, but the draw is pretty hard after the Titans game then 3 after we really need to cause some upsets. Gutsy losses won't be enough.

As much as I would change the fullback and halfback, at this point I feel the best way forward is just get some combo's working. We have no quick solutions in our ranks at this point, but as the season develops I feel that this could all change as players push for spots.
Gus really rates Tracey whenever he talks about him on 6 tackles etc. If JAC is fit very likely Taafe is dropped for the Tits game, if JAC needs another week Taafe will get one more week with the same line up.

Gus era has got to come to a close. He's taken us backwards. At Penrith, he got rid of cleary. Cleary comes back and they win 3 out of 4 GFs. He's picked up a bevy of fringe players and missed out on marquee big men in the middle, namely Adin Fonua Blake and Tino. Couldn't even get tino over the line woth laundy pub shares. Time for him to go. It's never good having a media personality in the set up. How can you do 2 jobs at once? Doubling up salary, but splitting time. We're not getting the most out of management. Recruiting has been poor. Just two big blokes in the middle could take this club back to the semis. Management have failed in identifying and recruiting some big props. How can our halves and backs fire with no platform? Gus has got to go. His glib and contemptuous commentary on 9 is of no value to the club. He can't get the marquee forwards we need in the door. This club was always built on that platform. Big blokes up the guts. Tunks, Gillespie, Dunn, britt, Bella, Price, Mason, o'meley, kasiano, Graham, pritchard. Teams were scared of us. How in earth are Canterbury going to compete with the packs of Brisbane and Manly? It's been years since Des stuffed our salary cap up. The excuses need to stop. Buck stops with the boars and management. Gus has got to go.
What do you say now Simmmo.

You were always going to use our first win to abuse the fan base here who has concerns on the future of our club. Its so pathetic mate and everyone can see through you.

While I am also concerned about Gus's loyalty, due to his past/present relationship with the rotters and politis, since he came to our club the media barrage against our club has virtually ceased, now we have to navigate the residual affect of all those years when when Gus's lapdog weidler and others were doing their best to turn players and the RL public against us.
It is interesting to note, that Gus came to our club after the Moore/Andersons family departed, or were forced out.
It is also interesting that he hasen't signed any really good props for us, we will never be a great team without at least 2, while I really like King he is to nice a bloke to ever be intimidating.
However at this stage I believe that getting rid of Gus might do us more harm than good.
