The ref letting sharks lay all over us didn't help with any continuity.
He has done it the past 2 years though hasn't he? He is a conservative coach walking on eggshells with a poor halves combo who can't execute. He could change that. Up to him.
Yes, but two years ago no-one could’ve picked the horror run with Foran and the inexperience of the rest of the squad. He hasn’t had a lot to work with (we had Frawley for the first half of 2018). But you’re right, it is up to him this year to get a working combo with who he’s got and if he doesn’t there may be consequences.
I hear you. He has the attributes of a half which we have been sorely missing. If he plays well next week against a full strength Raiders team Pay will have no choice but to pick him.
What merit? Pick the best team for the job. This whole Wakeham wait your turn, Foran will come back into the team etc is bullshit. We need to get moving or we will never be contenders. We havent got time to wait 6 rounds in for Lewis to prove once again he isnt a half. Ill be fucking dead before we win another premiership.
Yup 100% !! Also if we mess around and don’t give wakeham a chance we risk loosing him, and that would be the worst outcome.
Well said
I’ll change my tune once I see a sustained performance from him against a battle hardened NRL standard opposition. This forums blowing their loads over a couple of performances against lowly ranked international teams who had amateurs in their team, and a slightly above average 2nd half performance against tired Sharks reserve grade team.
Do you believe coaches Cleary, Siebold, Nathan Brown, McGregor have always picked the best players in their best positions?
Stop all these generalized comments please. About a dozen of you ‘gilded’ posters are getting dragged into bitch sessions with just a couple of wobbly Posters.Classic. Just off a long flight so missed the action. 500+ Kennel meltdown messages (I’ve only seen a handful) with impending doom and calls to sack players and the coach. And we still won.
It’s a trial - first 80min of the year.
Let’s see how they go next week leading into Round 1 before anyone works themselves into too much of a lather
No-one is blowing there load. We all know our halfes situation is the biggest issue for us this year, we have no-one to blow our loads over
Bag Reynolds all you want but the facts are he helped guide us to 2 Grand Finals and played a role in NSW winning an origin series in that same era. But okay let’s just say he was shit.
Nah not really , one was busted, slow and uninspiring. The other was erratic unpolished and inconsistent.. the evidence of this is how their careers have panned out since.. great halves don't have careers like these 2.
