I'd knock the door of Kane elgeys manager down ASAP. Play Chisholm there next year and then pounce of elgey hard

Hodko was playing for a contract, thus the increase in form.

Cook and Chisholm MIGHT be options, and that allows Lichaa to slot back in at hooker.

Those ***** aren't geniuses. A blind man in Turkmenistan can see our halves are shit.

Seriously, we aren't going to win shit for another 4-5 years if we are lucky. So throw all the young guys together and leave them in their positions

1. Cook
4. Mbye
6. Graham
7. Chisholm
9. Lichaa

our halves would look 100% better if our backs got deeper, with this flat style you can't really throw a cut out ball or hit a guy with the ball who has a head of steam up because there's 8 or 9 other guys standing between you and him....with the backs deeper Reynolds has no need to run sideways either or throw a big harbour bridge pass up high and over the sideline trying to cut out a few players to hit an outside team mate in space

I want this and line speed in defence.... I'm sick of our defensive line just standing there waiting for the opposition to come to them, we put no pressure on teams with our defence

I'm willing to give these guys the off-season to get their shit together.

Reynolds had a disrupted season with injuries and suspensions and never really got to string a large number of games together, while Mbye is still freaking young and experienced. Mbye is going to improve out of sight come Round 1 next year... only thing that worries me with Mbye is all this contract talk.

Mbyes contract ends next year so he's going to have to play out of his skin to get a renew. Reynolds is kinda like that alcoholic relative, whens he's sober he's great but when he relapses you dont want him around.

The problem is that both Reynolds and Mbye are 5/8's who rely on a halfback directing the team while they both play off that. We need an actual halfback to play in the 7 with either Reynolds at 6 with Mbye in the 1 or to put Mbye in the 6 and release Reynolds.

Who the **** would agree with the shite that dribbles out of Matty Johns's gob.
He's a Johns for **** sake.
He probably also agrees that his allleged pill popping, alleged enhanced drug testing dodger brother should be an immortal.
Johns (M) sells media and sensationalism and the first thing that springs to his comical mind.
They'll probably turn out the best combination of the season and Johns will say - they have improved.
Bring back the biff Matty - and start with an uppercut to yourself !!

So you disagree and think that our halves are not the issue?

Dogs are in the same situation like the NSW Blues have been for the last 10 years.

Shit halves with only 1 series in the 10 years. If only we fluked a premiership over the last 10 years

Everyone has their views in the Bulldog halves. Not long ago people thought Mbye was the new messiah and they were calling for Hoddo's head.
People listen to Matty Johns like peple listen to Ray Hadley and Alan Jones. Some people hang on their words.

I'm not sure what you mean by are halves are not the issue. John's has made them the issue yet it is easy to make them so.

I don't think they are the issue and believe they will stand up next year. Their combination has been hardly tested for peats sake.
