Robson looked good today and he spent most of the game in the second row. It's a shame we can't sign anyone as he would have been perfect.

Only because I like disruption...How about Lewis at Hooker.. He has excellent defense, a great pass and some pace. Also provides an extra kicking option..
Left field but I like it also can play the full 80

I know one way to stop Tolman getting the ball all the time from dummy half.

MAKE HIM HOOKER!

Can't get in the way if he is the one passing from dummy half :D

We're just shuffling the deck chairs.

Lichaa was no good and who knows where JMK should even be football wise, he hasn't managed to show much promise in any position he's been in.

Pay tried to confuse the storm by playing Tolman at halfback on a set play, except the pass to Foran went behind him..... the boys must be excited when they turn up training knowing there's going to be a few trick shots from the coach! Hopefully the skills coach can work on their passing in these tricky moments!

Hes had enough time in FG to prove himself..

I would drop, replace , release JMK in a heart beat.. he doesnt cut it as a NRL dummy half..

We need to start making some 'tough' calls and start looking to offload our dud players ..

Plenty of ESL clubs will pick up our duds..

You would of thought the supercoach would of worked out the chambers side (right) is very good defensively so attacking the left is much smarter but no we attack the right all day even the commentators were blowing up about it just a dumb coach

You know you have a bigger issue when you pick the team on basis of " he did nothing wrong "

Well well well he didnt do anything right either MR Coach - if you stand there and make 6-7 mettes every run with no thought of second phase etc you will do nothing wrong

Our centre pairing has to be the only one who just cannot break the line
The runs from dummy half are actually depressing , they cant even make 10 metres and over the top when we are struggling to make metres Mr Tolman in the line to run twice - full marks for involvement though lol

Even the commentator said it yesterday in a cheeky way - Tolman kills the momentum and when he touches again - " tolman at it again lol "

Apart from the stupid drop, Monty was okay today
Crucial drop though was 14 /6 at the time wasted opportunity game turning and a head dropping out come that was our chance at snatching a win

Cogger would’ve just kicked to Addo-Carr on the last anyway

It’s not Tolman’s fault. It’s the hooker that decides to pass to him on the 4th. The hooker if clever can pass behind Tolman or go the other war or go himself.
I love the way people on here are blaming Tolman for our attacking wows. It is as if he is pushing people out of the way to take all the passes.
Even though our only try yesterday was organised and scored by our middle forwards. Just to highlight our issues in attack.
Cogger must have a sore foot as all he did was kick the ball to storm players all night.

LOL @ anyone blaming JMK for our attacking woes.

Did anyone see how Cogger went yesterday? Absolutely abysmal. His attacking bombs were at least 15m too far for our chasers every time, Carr's first try came off a shit kick off him. Second half they had the sun in their eyes, Hughes had just copps a gash to the head....any A grade half would know to just bomb on every occasion...what was he doing? Low kicks that Hughes was having a field day with.

Foran is only going to be as good as his halves partner. He's passed it.

Also, first half...every time we were in attacking position, which was quite a bit... we dropped the ball cold. Simple errors that a first grade team shouldn't be making.

Don't blame JMK. He is the least of our problems.

So who kept giving the ball to Cogger on the 5th? It’s either JMK’s fault or JMK is following Pays instructions.

Apart from being a team full of average players the problem is Dean Pay.

He is well out of his depth.

He is the Problem mate
Being a Senior player as asks for the Ball and get it

Foran didnt call for the ball once in that game on the 5th tackle - hence Cogger getting all the ball and kicking it the way he did
So you really think he is just given the ball ??

They are dropping the ball with the try line wide open, standing still, or running alongside the attacking opposition, dh throwing it to Tolman, not backing up teammates and giving away reckless insane penalties through lack of confidence and trust in the processes. There is a total lack of respect and resolve to carry out the gameplan. This malaise has infected the club for at least 10 years (with intermittent successes). There is STILL the need, after the Hasler years, to clear out the joint and get a leading respected coach to start emphasising the "no compromise/no excuse" standards. I think Gould should be a priority as well to rebuild our media standing and gain some respect at HQ and with the refs. The downfall of this club is many faceted and it appears our problems are too big to be adequately handled by those alone at the Club now.
