I think you’ve nailed it, it’s a neurological issue lol

This thread is the gift that keeps on giving, there was some classic Lewis un-co moments in that game yesterday, I’d love someone to do a video collection (to Benny Hill music) of all his clanger passes, ruck infringements, pathetic attempts to run through the line, and kicks either drilled...

3 Foran 2 Meaney 1 RFM -50 Lewis -30 Wakeham -20 Montoya

I’m talking about this season, Cronk and Mitchell were never on the books for 2020, teams have to spend 95% of their cap, so the most they could possibly have had (legitimately) to spare is $490000, pretty good accounting to get Josh Morris and SBW for that

Those players weren’t injured on rep duty so there’s no salary cap concession. So we’re to believe that before the season, with their stacked roster, they were far enough under the cap, to sign Josh Morris and now also have room for SBW. In the words of the great Geoff Toovey, there needs to be...

Pays gone but we’re still rewarding mediocrity, how on earth can Holland, Montoya and Lewis retain their places, zero accountability, have they learnt nothing from what Maguires doing at the Tigers

Only if he’s quicker than his brother and not as dumb as his dad

Montoya stiff to miss out

Has he been hanging around with Adam Elliot

Would like Griffin as GM of football but if Gould’s pulling the strings that won’t happen. Players make coaches so number 1 requirement is being able to recruit and retain talent. From what’s being reported players in the Manly and Penrith systems love Barret so he’s the right man for the job...

That’s the team Lewis, Holland, Montoya and Chrichton should be playing for

Very ordinary footballer, gets monstered in nearly every hit up, slow, un-coordinated, average hands, poor defensive reads, but but but he’s a local junior, seriously how he ever got a contract extension is beyond me

The report saying he was fine was from fox sport he passed the HIA but I think you’ll find there’s another issue, if he was able to go back on I’m sure he would have

Yeah I like him as a player, more game time will help but most professional clubs know how to get/keep their players fit, if he’s not playing the minutes then he should be doing extra training so when the opportunities come he’s ready, our club is so amateurish

I wish someone would come through and smash him into pieces, the opposition don’t even bother putting pressure on him because they know the chances of him doing anything productive are minuscule

Two chasers on the right hand side of the kicker were at least 1 meter in front, bullshit decision

Ogden’s fitness is a really poor reflection on our conditioning staff, he runs and tackles well but just can’t produce repeat efforts, compare him to a Junior Paulo or Papali, similar physiques but they play 50 minutes comfortably, this bloke is sucking in the big one’s after 10 minutes

It wasn’t his fault either that he didn’t find touch when we got a penalty and had all the momentum

It was at least a good 25 it was at least a good 25%, our attack and kicking game was diabolical without him

It was at least a good 25 it was at least a good 25%, our attack and kicking game was diabolical without him

Then gives them a 7 tackle set with another shit kick and then gives a penalty away with a high tackle from the twenty meter restart. So basically conceded 50-60metres in 20 seconds. . He is a dead set liability, I guarantee you he would not play 1st grade at any other NRL club and would be...

Lewis not only has bog average skills he’s the dumbest footballer I’ve ever seen, why keep kicking to Saab who’s 7ft tall rather than Dufty

I want to punch Lewis in the face so hard

Although it was accidental as there was a set restart on the first, habits are hard to break

We’re much better when Tolman takes it on the 3rd instead of the 4th lol

And who’s Kieran Holland

Has he been good in any year?

Couldn’t agree more, fancy picking players like Montoya, Holland, Lewis and Chrichton ahead of him. They’ve all proven they’re not good enough for first grade, and have zero upside. It’s disgraceful that Averillo isn’t in the team.

Sick of people suggesting it’s an easy fix, just get Bellamy or Bennett. It’s not going to happen, why would either of them contemplate tarnishing their legacy/record by taking on our mess at this stage of their lives.

Bet he regrets the day he signed with the bulldogs, has been really hard done by, not saying he’s a gun but he’s a much better player than Lewis and Wakeham, and thought he outperformed JMK when playing 9 a few weeks ago, now he’s not even in the 21, the development of players and talent...

0 out of 9

PK was correct, Buzz was clearly drunk again, why on earth didn’t the club challenge the charge, there was nothing in it and if he did insanely get found guilty the penalty was still one week. Weak as piss, now without him and Averillo we have the pleasure of watching reserve graders Holland...

Can you please send that to NRL360 for the ask Kenty segment

That sort of talk would be banned at Belmore, how dare you try and alter our modern and effective attacking structures

This guy might be our interim head coach, I’m sure he’ll present better than Pay, Georgallis and Antonelli although that’s setting the bar low

None of the above

The haven’t been reinstated yet, they’ve just had their punishment reduced by the NRL appeals committee, the club may still stand by their original decision to sack them

They clearly haven’t watched enough of the shocking brand of football the team has played under his watch

I wish our club would grow some balls and just make decisions without the blessing of the NRL or worrying about being politically correct.

It should be but it’s not, and all teams do it to get the man to the ground, so not only should it not be a suspension/charge, it shouldn’t have even been a penalty!

Triple dead heat with Montoya and Hoppa

It’s like choosing between eating a shit sandwich or drinking piss, Georgallis has done such a good job with our attack, so fluid and creative

You had me until Lewis, he should never play first grade again, his kicking game is shit as well not to mention all the other inadequacies in his game. I’ve said it all along, Cogger is the best 7 we have, he should be playing this year and signing a proven 7 should be a priority

This guy would be better than Wakeham

Cause our centres can’t be trusted especially Montoya

Exactly keep it simple, suits his non existent skills, put Meaney in his correct position and use his speed around the middle of the ruck to take advantage of our occasional off loads and quick play the balls

Pretty sure you don’t understand what a marquee player is

That way we could keep our fullback on the wing, and move our winger who’s paying fullback to centre, to partner our other winger who’s also playing centre. Perfect, wonder why we’re running last, yep it’s cause we’ve got young guys

He’s a winger so we could play him centre, full back or back row lol

So why has the attacking coach still got a job, this organization has just become satisfied with mediocrity. If there’s no one there prepared to make some tough decisions, get an outsider with no emotional ties to the club and it’s staff to review the joint and he/she can be the one who gets rid...

Can’t understand this guys love fest with Pay, has he watched our team and players who have regressed under his watch, or how players recruited or retained in his time there have continually come up short. Pays not taking responsibility, he’s blaming the lack of quality and inexperience in the...

Except on one wing where we have a fullback

Awful centre pairing, Montoya is a hack, DWZ should be barred from playing fullback, Cogger was set mission impossible last week and was just about our best player, so let’s omit him from the 17, Holland again proves he’s a reserve grader with an inept display so keep him in the team. Absolute...

The fact Hoppa is considered our best or most valuable player shows just how much trouble we are in. He’s a solid first grader, but nothing special, I reckon there’s 5 or 6 sides in the comp where he wouldn’t even make the 17. Wish him a speedy recovery but we desperately need someone playing...

Who are these young blokes that Pay keeps referring to? Foran, Jackson, Tolman, Napa, Hopoate, Elliot, DWZ, RFM, Smith, they’ve all played loads of first grade and some of them rep/intl football. Such a cop out!

If Lewis is getting any more than a can of coke and a mars bar, he’s overpaid!

Not sure he’s the sharpest tool in the shed, and being successful at the club with the best players hardly means he’s proven himself. Its a no from me

Deano will get a migraine thinking about his replacement. Meaney in, or Reimis back to wing where he belongs, and his love child Holland into the centres, which would give him a chance to give Katoa a run of the bench. I think they’re all better alternatives than Crichton anyway

My 11yo son laughed when Brandy said the one aspect of Lachlan Lewis’ game that we missed was his kicking

Not fair on Jackson to compare him to Dale. Of course he’s standing taller, wins most of his games, plays finals every year, coached by Bellamy, plays alongside Smith, Munster, Bromich x 2, etc etc.

Did you see the first 20 minutes of the raiders v manly game today, Horsborough was the best forward out there, he won’t be going back to the bench for Elliot

Bit of both, but it’s also we mostly get dominated in the tackles, in attack and defense, lack of size, strength and athleticism. It’s not just a personnel problem but also a coaching issue. The number of times tonight that powder puff Woods has three defenders on him and was still able to...

Can’t understand why he keeps talking about the team as being young/kids. Bit of a cop out. Wakeham, Averillo are rookies and Renouf and Ogden haven’t played a heap of first grade, but we’ve got plenty of experience in this side.

He’s handsome too lol

Think he’s updating his CV, or putting in his jobseeker application

No vision, too slow with his passing and decision making. The fact our offensive ruck speed looked better with Holland (an average centre) says it all. May as well try the other bloke now

Problem is the effort and attitude is there and we still can’t beat average teams. Sp what happens, they get disheartened, and eventually the effort drops and attitude falters. We need to get everything right and we’re still getting a lot wrong.

He’s better then Lewis, but so is a cardboard cutout! I’m happy to give Wakeham some time but I don’t see a lot in him that excites me. Don’t think the coaching, lack of game plan help him. I’d rather see him playing 1st receiver, flat at the line and passing to forwards, rather than them...

I’m so happy no Lewis, and much more confident now we can beat the sharkies

For me it’s not all about the money. Bellyache has only held 2 senior coaching gigs. He was unsuccessful as NSW coach, and although he’s been hugely successful as Storm coach he’s done it with once in a generation players in key positions and some dodgy accounting. If he truly wants to be held...

I reckon he’s still got Hoppa and Lewis covered lol

Surely he’s gone when Staggs comes back, and Deardon in for Milford or Croft

Wonder if Seibold has the balls to drop Boyd, he’s woeful

If anyone on here gets tickets to the game can you pls make a banner “Lewis is a MYTH’ think embarrassing Pay publicly is the only way we can rid this team of his insidious presence

Deck chairs on the titanic, any way you line them up it’s a woeful back five, every player has glaring deficiencies in there game

This is really scary stuff. How far we have sunk. Our squad is so poor we’re going to extraordinary lengths to try and ensure Tolman doesn’t miss another game. He shouldn’t be resigned, regardless or any discount, the game has passed him by, by all means make him an ambassador or water boy, but...

Not sure Tolman plays unless they reduce his quarantine period

If I see Lewis named in the 17 I’m going straight to the chemist to stock up on panadol and ulcer medication. Watching him is wreaking havoc with my physical and mental wellbeing

Has his best game for us on the wing, so what does Pay do move him to the centres! He’s got poor skills, and average intelligence, keep him on the wing and make it as simple as possible for him. Don’t think, just do!

Tough initiation for the kid, playing outside the imposter Lewis, he gets rubbish ball in attack and then gets left isolated in defense cause Lewis reads it about as well as Montoya and John Olive

Problem is only way we can improve is through recruitment and even though we have a ‘war chest’ I can’t see why anyone would want to come to our club. Its not to play under Pay, we look miles away from playing finals let alone a premiership, play a boring unimaginative style of football, have...

Anthony Griffin pls

Agree, he’s a class above, beautiful hands and passing, created space for the outside men, they’re just not good or quick enough to capitalize. Thought he looked pretty good physically as well

We almost look like a first grade side when we go right, when we go left to Lewis it’s like watching park football

Left Napa on too long, he was gassed

Watching him catch and pass is painful

DWZ hands like feet

Set restarts are bullshit, let us finish our tackles, it’s not touch football

Lewis so dumb

I’d take Hastings over Lewis every day of the week and twice on Sunday

No cause if the players positive then all the other players are at risk of being positive/contagious so they would also have to isolate

Probably something to do with the selfish protests

Should we send Baa to the airport to pick him up?

Fair play to Hill and Co if they can make this happen. I’d also be doing a loan deal with the warriors for Ogden. He needs some game time to further his development, then we bring him back next year to take Tolmans spot

Holland’s injured mate, he won’t be playing

The black jersey would go beautifully with those dreamy blue eyes

Harsh on Napa, I thought he was strong against the Dragons, some good carries and strong hits in defense. DWZ should stay on the wing, we need his strong carries to get our sets rolling early, he’s got average catch/pass skills so the simpler the role the better for him

Wakeham in, Lewis out pls Harper or Holland in for Smith (if suspended)

He’s too cranky, reckon they’re over coached, they’re tense with the ball and scared to make mistakes, it’s a bit like Desball, turning them into robots rather than letting them have a good time and play some footy. He should get on the hooch, and unshackle his playmakers, tell them to have fun...

Not sure why there’s a knock on him, he’s loyal and busts his gut every time he plays. He’s up there with Radley and Trbojevic as the best one on one defender in the comp. His attacking game has been stifled by conservative coaching and playing outside mediocre ball players. Sure he’s a great...
