As we all know this year is gone and a lot of change is needed having a look at what we have signed and resigned I hope we go wit the following team. I feel if we change our halves and move on James graham we could really change team and direction. You might think why James Graham, but I believe players would have to have a certain amount of input into the style of play, so I if get rid of current halves and Front rower halfback things / style will have to change. I also think our forward is too similar and needs mixing up slighty. The only thing in the team below I have thrown in is James Roberts. I strongly believe we have to go after someone like that at the moment as we have no one in our team that can make something out of nothing. also I believe 1 of the Morris boys has to go. so I have released Brett to the super league

1. Hopoate
2. Lee
3. Morris
4. Roberts
5. Montoya
6. Cleeland
7. Foran
8. Tolman
9. Brown
10. Woods
11. Jackson
12. faitala Mariner
13. Klemmer

14. Elliot
15. Tualau
16. Toomaga
17. Mybe / Martin

Even with the addition of Foran & Woods I cant see enough changing to make us contenders..

the issue is mainly with the spine & there isnt enough change there

That's all good in theory, but the reality is des is coach till 2019.:upset:
We need to build a sqaud that can launch a decent premiership campaign, so far haslers proven he cant build shit , and cant see us miraculously being up to speed by 2019.
By that time a huge clean out will probably be need and start from scratch. Give it 3 years to form a competitive sqaud , we may have a decent chance by the 20th anniversary of our 2004 victory.

Im torn man.... ive been an advocate for Graham getting the boot, but the other night when Frawley scored you could tell the motherfucker really was pumped up for the boys... hes just slowly dying under a dud coach :/... At this stage id rather us let Mbye go first, depending on how James neck . shoulder holds up post surgery. Morris boys both need to stay, final year for both of them in 2018. I know Lee was decent in attack, but im in no hurry to see him in 1st grade any time soon. Idris could turn and chase quicker XD.

2018...? Different year with the same shit peddled by the same shitheads.

We'll still have Hasler selecting players out of position not having a handle on what they're supposed to be doing. Everything we do will be focused on defence, probably no kicking game and attack being an unwanted option. This will produce the same place on the ladder and of course the same points for and against shit fight which will stuff us up again in the pecking order when it comes to a place in the top eight. But why bother about that? We won't be in contention for a top eight place anyway.

Two new players, Aaron Woods and Kieran Foran.

Woods should go okay as he is a front rower (but look what's happened to Klemmer).

Foran? Used to be a terrific five eighth in both attack and defence. But now has still got a rooted hamstring and we don't know what head space he's in. Just a pessimistic prediction but I reckon Foran will be out injured more than he's in the middle playing, because hamstring injuries are ones that just don't want to get better and Foran has had this one for too long..

Mate foran is an old man now and Woods will be a fat slob after he has been introduced to all the kebab shops around Belmore. Nothing will change with these 2 coming in. There needs to be a culture change aka a complete clean out with exception of Jackson and klemmer.

The fraud will be still in charge so I'm not expecting shit.

A broken down half is not our saviour.

Thats haslers game plan go so bad this year , no matter what next year will be an improvement. We will scrape the 8 des will mumble some shit about completions. Dib will give him another 2 year extension comparing him to Bellamy. Our children will be cursing us why we made them support the dogs because they have never seen a grand final win
