We struggle with the transition of players from reserves to firstgrade, Renouf, Ogden, etc killed it regularly in reserves yet other blokes who made far less of an impact at that level look more at home in the NRL than they do. Going to be the same story for this next lot until we address this issue.
Didn't we appoint an ex cowboys coaching staff member to do exactly this late last year? I forget his name.

Yes, but I don't think he will be able to do much this early. I think the simple fact is that we are going to struggle until we get some quality experience into the side. Until we have that then we're always going to struggle bringing youth and inexperience into the 17.

We need experience...imagine for a 28/29 year old Graham would do for our side and younger forwards.

I dont expect changing one player for a reserve grader will swing our form around.
I'd rather see a reserve grader being exited to make the team and giving everything he's got, than a first grader not giving two fucks, just ridingout his contract!

What are the odds we don’t score the next 2 games?

Its quite evident that Hoppa can't make one on one tackles.... Baz needs to address that by moving him to the wing.
A bit further out and I would be happy then he can catch Lewis’s passes in row 10.

Might as well make money off our misery. Haha. I reckon we'll finally score a couple of tries as Souths will clock off when the game is wrapped up. Still expect us to lose by 20 plus though.

To your point it’s probably why Seufumatangi got in the 30 today

Experience/journeyman bookend

That is exactly what i have done the last 2 rounds, may as well salvage something from the misery..and if one is a drinker they can drown their sorrows with money won on our very average team losing :laughing: not sure we could score 2 converted tries though maybe one late?
