Add in Potter got handed the best job opportunity. A team that couldn’t make the semis. He wasn’t going to be a full time coach. We had some shocking losses under him as well, don’t forget about them.

Mick Potter had us playing better than this rabble. Even with the injuries CC, aka barrett 2.0 , has more to work with. Just pathetic.
Burns, flanagan, averillo, perham, should never see first grade again.
Reed, sutton, rfm, burton all need a kick up the as* after the last few weeks.
lol who da fook is this guy

Hopefully it improves, but the decision making at the top is pretty horrible at present
Coping a bagging hey Scoobs but you are correct IMO in that we do seem to have some better options with players who aren't just space fillers whom CC is continually picking. Theres only a few mind and its not clear they would make that much difference anyway.

Things will look up towards the back end of the season and that's what we have to hang onto.

If we didn’t beg smashed from injuries, we’re sitting 6-2, 5-3 at worst.
If we didn’t cop those injuries, we’d still be 3 and 5 and you wouldn’t have your excuse. If Melbourne and the Cowboys didn’t get smashed with injuries, we’d be 1 and 7.

Ciraldo is a dud. I told you all he would be from the beginning.

Swoosh, nothin’ but net!

W3ho ya gunna replace them with ya fuckwit?
That’s a good point. The cupboard is bare. But it doesn’t excuse how bad we are travelling. Not to mention Ciraldo’s recruitment decisions and positional selection blunders.

Signing Crichton when we don’t have a halfback or fullback would have to top the list. Also signing Perham and turning him into a project fullback just lol

Nasheed here,
Until we sort out our spine we aren’t going anywhere.
And no Olopu won’t be the answer

Hi Nash, can I call you Nash?

I agree, Oloapu isn't the answer right now. Watching his performance in NSWCup today instilled to me that he is some way off. Can definitely see that he won't offer 1st grade much more at this stage of his career, but the talent is there for future seasons.

You seem to have some solid cred on this forum, what's the way forward?

In my thread last month I showed that we do indeed make metres which indicates the forwards are ok.

We are the chistopher reeves of the nrl.
Our problems are purely spinal.

A proper fullback
An organisational half
Even Burton I’m not convinced. He floats in and out too much. Even Jack cogger and frawley turned it on every few games.

Crichton is a luxury we didn’t need. He might make it at FB but he might not

We need our sole focus to be an experienced half.
We blew our golden shot at Townsend 1.5 years back. Nor did we enter the ring for Reynolds.
Hynes I understand bevause no one saw it coming.
We need to be looking at the Keary situation at the chooks or if Wighton goes to the Rabbitohs, we need to poach Walker.
Keep eyes on Griffin and Hunt.
We need to keep the salary aside until one pops up.

I’d re-sign Thommo at a discount and look for cheap backup like Frawley in the halves.

There are rumblings king Gutherson miggg be pushed out of the eels. He’s a real fullback I’d be looking at him.
I’d also experiment at Burton at fullback later this year.he was a junior fullback and he has footwork and could be our latrell.

And no more expensive outside backs.

Our forward pack is decent.

We just can’t create tries through the halves.
Scoring will help us defensively as we get breathers.
