Just watched Ciraldo’s press conference. He has called out that senior players are underperforming and will be paying close attention to NSW cup to see which players put their hands up. He gave signs that the 17 will be changed as players are not doing their job so hopefully we should expect some changes next week. Also noticed he mentioned they will look at potentially starting Oloapu. JAC should also be good for next week.

The biggest worry amongst all the rubbish being dished up is that the players did not respond to the gruelling they coped in last week's press conference.
It's a worry Ciraldo couldn't turn the team around.

I think we all have PTSD from Des, Pay and Barrett’s team selections. Let’s see if Ciraldo makes some big calls this Tuesday. So far his dropped Casey and Flanagan, which was both for deserved reasons.

Not sure how Casey was even picked multiple times in front of Wilson. Clearly an inferior player
Casey was in top 30 and Wilson wasn’t. Casey was already signed to the club before Ciraldo got here. Ideally Skelton would have been above Casey but he probably went with the fact that Casey had first grade experience with so many injurues. Otherwise a backline of Perham, Alamoti, Averillo, Burns, and Skelton would have been torn apart due to inexperience.

But picking perham and pangirl negates the droppings

He said last week that some players were not doing their job, and that he would address it.
He didn't.
Every coach we've ever had talks about change, then sends out the same players the following week.
I reckon we'll see the same duds back out there next weekend.
