[Precise]

RFM better get a fucking run before 20 to go.

He should be starting over feet for hands Elliott

BTW Elliott let in the final try

 

[silva]

Dogs will win well

 

[Bulldog_4_Life]

So Lichaa who is leaving next season is starting at #9 however the player that will take over from him is starting at halfback, just Des things.

It's unlikely Moses will play 9 next season and Des won't be here so he doesn't care anyway.

If Feastwood makes the final 17 than it shows that Des is one messed up person even though we know that. Leave the same team as last week. Its a good bench except for Stanley and I would give Martin a run in his place. Feastwood hasn't played for weeks so image his stamina, the fat dumbass only runs when he realises he left some of fries on the table and Kas is still inside. Give the young boys a go

 

[boggie23]

Des won't be here so he doesn't care anyway.

Exactly. And he hasn't showed he has cared for the last 4 seasons atleast.

His presence was always there but his heart wasn't.

The list of reserves does me. We could almost have the exact same line up from round 1 with some changes meaning nothing has progressed in the end

And you would think kas and Reynolds make an appearance for their farewell too at some stage in the next fortnight.... so we will end up with the same team all year even though they will have 8 wins is it now? And 14 losses? Not sure. Haven't checked the ladder for a while haha.

Thing is any other coach would have changed personnel by now. And one of our best forwards is not on the field in the first hour of the game..... Hasler can't read games. He has the game played before getting to the stadium and has his substitutes organised before hand. Substitutions must be based on vmax performances

 

[craigo]

None of those on the extended bench should be named

 

[Gubanaculum]

Just named them so they cant play ISP cup.

 

[KiwiDog7]

Looking forward to seeing our skipper mumble his way through cliches on NRL360 tonight

Yawn

Nope until the club say otherwise , des is here for another 2 years after this year.

Titans will play likes God's now just to stick it to Henry.

Is Hayne playing?

It appears Des is leaning to Brown as #9... but who knows how that mind works.

Is Brown a better 9 than Lichaa????

 

[ddt192]

I have a feeling Lichaa is gonna have a big game .. idk just a feeling

 

[D.O.W.]

Is Brown a better 9 than Lichaa????

I don't know, what I do know is that Lichaa hasn't reached his full potential under Des, we know he can be much better, but still has an issue with some fundamentals at hooker.

Nu Brown is a half, he's played a bit of hooker for Sharks to help them out in an injury crisis situation, but is he the answer? I haven't seen enough of him to comment, but what I will say is we need to start playing guys in specialist positions to be taken seriously.

Wingers playing fullback, hookers playing halves and halves playing hooker just doesn't work.

How did he go KiwiDog?

Hopefully Moses exercises his "Des clause" and fucks off with Hasler when he gets the chop....
