Belmore line is closed atm and you'd have to go to redfern then to sydnham for replacement buses to get back to belmore. Or train to yagoona then catch the rail replacement bus.

arrh great probably end up getting an uber there now it’s fine.
 
But CC didn't even use him at hooker. Waste of space.

Salmon not needed also.

8. King
9. Mahoney
10. DSF
11. Kikau

Between Mann and Sitili, most positions are covered if needed.
i wish this was our pack for the year
 
8. King
9. Mahoney
10. DSF (or Hughes when fit)
11. Kikau
12. Preston
13. Mann

14. Curran
15. Hayes
16. Sitili
17. Todd

I wonder if we rolled out this squad we would consistently win by 12 more points than what we currently do with an inferior bench. Or possibly win a tight one instead of losing at the death. We will never know.......
Winning the ruck creates pressure, leading to opposition errors or penalties. This builds our game momentum which is so hard to stop once we get it. Therefore, our bench selection is more pivotal than people think.

I know why Ciraldo is picking Salmon but Harry would be a better bench pick. Period. Hayward covers hooker or lock, Hayes covers prop or edge and Sitili covers edge or centre. Todd can provide x factor (once he is ready), I know he might not be there yet.

but but salmon. Winning culture, panferz, knows how to win
 
Are we expecting a straight Hughes for DSF swap next week when Hughes is hopefully back?

Or do you think that will finally maybe force Hayward or salmon out and one of Hughes and DSF will take a bench spot while the other starts?

Then making a:
King
Mahoney
Hughes
Kikau
Preston
Mann (some hooker)

Salmon
Curran
DSF
Sitili

Or is more likely DSF straight back to cup and both salmon and Hayward stay
 
This stubbornness and favouritism makes me have doubts around whether Ciraldo can be the guy moving forward. Just get the win but fuck me if Hayward and Salmon are the reasons we leak points through the middle again just like we did as soon as they were both in the middle than serious uncomfortable conversations must be had

Many coaches are stubborn. Once they make their mind up on structure and who fits that structure, the only thing that changes it is player unavailability.

We‘ve had a few. Hasler, Kevin Moore, Folkes and going all the way back to Warren Ryan.
 
When u have Salmon/Mann in the team Hayward makes no sense at all.

Hayward out, Hayes in all day. We are already 1 forward short, confusing AF.

And the announced lineup, could be a smokescreen with a late change announced an hour before kick off, when team declarations have to be finalised. Happens most weeks with at last half the competition’s coaches not revealing their hand until they have to, for tactical reasons.

hope so we need to have fresh legs to combat fifta
 
That’s not the point, if Hayes is doing Salmon’s role then he can’t perform his role, which is very different.


That we can agree on.

Team Work

So when Salmon gets injured who takes on his role ?

Yep.. depending on availability the only changes will be Hughes in, DSF out.. and kiraz in .. probably Wilson out (although I'd drop Monty first). But I guess let's just get through this week first.
 
Meant to be hot as fuck on Sunday in Sydney yeah? Bit worried that if their forwards get on a roll then their quick men could run havok if we run out of gas again like Saturday.
 
I didn't watch it when I saw who the lineup was tonight. Did the wanker have a huge cry that Crichton didn't get suspended?
Brought up some tackle in the broncos game as well he just kept on going on and on how we get all the calls from the refs also. Someone needs to knee this flop in the head. We spent 8 years getting no calls
 
No they werent, wilson too far infield first one, second critta was out of position cause he was down but wilson didnt trust his inside man and came in, 3rd one, we had numbers and he shot in off his wing to gutho who tapped it on and tuipolotu came in and scored
View attachment 132071
Wilson too far in? Are you sure?
Well yes? Does you think Holmes gonna go around critta and score? No. He had him covered, wilson needs to tryst inside man, a couple metres further wide and he tackles him
Wilson wasn’t in far enough.
he put himself on an island. When facing that shape his job would’ve been to get to the link man (Queen Fucko). He came up halfway and panicked.
 
How about him bringing up the covering tackle on Arthurs from the trial saying it was almost just as dangerous looool

How this bloke has a job and is on tv is beyond me
Saying ref's r bias to the "better teams" or "flavour of the moment" but he's not being biased at all due to his hate for the club

He gave me a good laugh... he's clueless
Yet nothing was said about the high tackle on Tracey when Wilson scored.
It's simple, the media have an agenda against the Dogs...period!!!
 
Why tf would Crawley say we get favorable calls because we're a big club? But when we were struggling for years on end getting dud calls that wasn't the case then? Absolute grinch!
