If it wasn't for reed we would literally scrore no points. That being said we arn't protecting him like we sould, he is being forced to make 50+ tackles every week a number of those on the back foot being targeted. I think until we get botn Kiks and RFM back at least we should start the first 20 min with Brown at 9, then move him to lock and bring reed on, a bit like what the panthers did with Api, who is very similar in size etc to Api. Seeing as Brown played 9 in NSW cup this week, maybe that is what CC is thinking. Team for this week cup side should be very interesting.

Guy is a big reason why teams are marching through the middle. Time to implement a 2 hooker system and limit his game time until he gets back to his peak.
I've warned this would happen after the 2nd round, Mahoney is doing too much but once the team is injuries free at full strength there will be no issues with him, in the meantime we need a halfback and 2 props to make life a lot easier for everyone.

He was at the top of his game at Parra. Comes to us turns to career worst form.

This pattern has been happening over and over. We need a circuit breaker.

Lucky Burton didn't play long enough at 5/8 for Penrith. Otherwise he'd be getting ripped big time as well. Fans would also be scratching their head at how he has gone backwards.

He should probably be in reserve grade at this point

Let’s be honest he’s offering nothing in attack and is an absolute turnstile in D
Maybe a stint in Jersey Flagg to get his confidence back.
You muppets have no idea. Geez.

No mate..it isn't.He only has one account i'm quite sure.
04dribbling was put on ignore some time ago however because he is a group 1 shittalker .. seems like he still is.

Sure looks that way, we are career killers.

He’s not an 80min hooker anymore because he’s the only bloke willing to put his body in front of 115kg monsters - our middles are powder puffs coming in second man in. That didn’t happen at Parra, Paulo and RCG lead their defensive lines.

Unfortunately I have to agree, his either burnt out of just mentally weak by the constant week in week out floggings
He's worn out from carrying our forwards in defence. He is targeted by big units because of his small stature, and our forwards are doing nothing to help him.

Our defence is non existent the last 7 weeks I’ve seen no kick pressure on the opposition when the half’s are kicking
I cannot believe our lack of attack when the ball is put up. The worst that could happen is that we drop the ball - they were going to get it anyway.
We could force an error, or score a try. So, why are we the only team not contesting our own kicks?

Our contesting of kicks is diabolical, there was a game we weren’t even contesting kicks defensively on 5th tackles - it looked like their sole focus was trying to create legal escorts - but someone forgot to actually contest the ball.

The bloke wears himself out running around everywhere trying to defend because we’re continually going backwards missing tackles and either being ran around, or over the top of ..

Watch him, he’s in just about everything .. definitely needs a spell while we’re in this go backwards situation ..

Put a bigger pack around him with more heart and he’d only need to do 1/2 the amount of work he’s trying to do now and he’d be twice as effective in attack and defence ..
Absolutely spot on 1967. He can't do it all. The good teams have strength across the park.

Obviously not impressed with his form, but of course he would turn to shit in this shit team.

Good players come to die in Belmore
