Barrett in the press conference was really disappointed with some defensive efforts and some effort in the game. He mentioned the right edge chasing kicks and some bad line defence. I think some players may be introduced to Mick Potter and the Mounties staff this week

Half the team should be playing Mounties but who do we replace them with. It’s a terrible squad

Agree, but at reserve grade level. Would rather stick with Topine.
Yeah he's doing well but we really need to be promoting specialist depth instead of having all these bits and pieces players.

We've constantly ignored guys like Woolford and Cleeland - guys who aren't superstars but guys who can be your 2nd or 3rd option at the club, in a specialist position, who can come in and do a competent job.

Without Cotric at centre...we have the worst centre pairing in the comp.

We have the worst hooker in the comp in Katoa.

DWZ and Allan are meh and I can't wait untill they are gone.

Katoa is an average winger but we have no choice.

Finally Napa is a fucking putrid **** bannish him to local leagues.

As it did back then... It will always piss me off that poor Cleeland never got a first grade game. MOM in both NSW Cup and QLD Cup GFs and key player in state championship victories. Fuck you Des and every other fuckwit that dogged him.

I think Cleeland was a bit over-hyped. Seriously if he was any good you’d think he’d get a spot at another NRL team, even as a back up half

Well he didn't get a run with us because we fucked our top 30 as usual. But nah he was solid just very unlucky, plenty of worse halves and utilities had got a debut

He was pretty good. Carved up CC don't even know how he never got a run

Agree. He did carve up CC. But we have seen way too often players that don’t make the transition up to NRL. You’re right he never got a run so we’ll never know if he had it or not. But all I’m saying is that some other NRL club surely would have seen something in him to at least give him a go.

Team I would go next week
1. Jake Averillo (he needs open space where he is most dangerous he can be 3rd ball player at the back and add speed at the back and hide him in the defence )
2. Nick Cotric
3. Corey Allan
4. Aaron Schoupp (need him in grade I can't take another week of Katoa )
5. Dallin Watene-Zelenark
6. Brandon Wakeham/Lachlan Lewis(don't rate either of them but one needs to come in)
7. Kyle Flanagan
8. Luke Thompson (C) (Best forward at the club and needs to be made captain)
9. Jackson Topine (Start him he can handle it)
10. Jack Hethrington
11. Adam Elliott (Lucky we don't have any better backrowers misses to many tackles and give stupid penalties away)
12. Matthew Doorey (Time to bring him up should have been team earlier and waddell is fucking shit)
13. Josh Jackson
Bench
14. Bradley Detiz (According to bulldogs site he in top 30 fucking use him )
15. Ofahik Ogden
16. Renouf Antoni
17. Ava Seumanufagi ( got to be better then fucking napa)

Drop the following imo
Will Hopoate , Sione Katoa, Corey Waddell, Dylan Napa, Tui Katoa

Yes agree. We must use this game against the Cowboys to see if Avo can handle FB. He is prob more suited to 14.


But we need Kennedy or Dufty. Allen is a centre atm.

Allan is a reserve grader...what a waste of money. I miss centres of early 2000s like Vagana, Lolesi
