Regardless of our issues, we should still be doing a lot better

You can't live on past reputation. Those players might have been rep level, doesn't mean anything if they're past it (Eg Eastwood).

Also barring Klemmer and Jacko I doubt you'd find an Nrl club willing to take on any of the others listed.

There is no reason why our current roster is going worse than last year .. no injuries only Tolman to boot

And only 1 of them is a current rep player. None of the others would be selected now.

Biggest issue now is the same issue we have had for a while, but worse this year. NO HALVES. This year one is playing broken. Frawley may go ok if we had a controller in the halves. Someone like Maloney/Pearce/Hunt. But Foran is shot. Frawley cannot steer the side around. As per recent years, we have 2 running halves and no fkn organiser. A good half will put people in holes, and spot weaknesses in defences and shift it that way, and will score a try a match with kicks.

The difference a great half would make to our side would be ridiculous. We have good forwards but nobody to turn their ground gained into points
We started the year with 3 NSW reps yet we only have 1 now...this is also a problem.

Why do think the ball is oblong?
It bounces everywhere when kicked, so bloody kick it to give us half a chance.

Our issues are well known, but in terms of where we sit on the ladder its still not good enough, i mean I aint saying we should be top 8, but our side does consist of a lot of experience
Morris Brothers - Former NSW and Australian Representatives
Will Hopoate - NSW representative
Kieran Foran - NZ International
Aaron Woods - NSW and Australia
David Klemmer - NSW and Australia
Josh Jackson - NSW and Australia
Greg Eastwood - NZ International

That's interesting!
People were death riding tolman last year maybe those people might want to apologise . The guy brings boring metres but without errors which is exactly what we need.

I don't think errors or defence is our issue if those are the things Tolman is good at. I'm fairly certain we rank high for completion rates.
Attack is the only issue and Tolman does not solve any of that, in fact he makes it worse

To be fair Jackson hasnt done a lot wrong but is up against strong players for the spot and Woods wouldnt have been picked by Fittler if he has coached last year. He wasnt going any better at tigers

We are not losing games by much... We just cant win, they have forgotten how to.

That and so much dropped ball and stupid penalties in the second half, its doing my fucking head in, I seriously don't know how many more games I can watch before absolutely losing my shit.

You mean that you haven't lost your shit here already like the rest of us have? I'd say you're doing quite well.

Wake up to yourself most them blokes should of been retired years ago. And woods has never been any good. Hoppa filled in on the wing for nsw cause of a couple of injuries so that leaves jj and klemmer. Cant win against 13 blokes with 1 prop and 1 back rower. Look at north queensland i dont know what everyone is crying about. Toughen the fuck up.
