I said this all preseason and in the trials. But I am a fool or I think the quote was I have dicks for brains :sweatsmile:

The quicker Tracey and Xerri come into the team the better we will be. We probably don’t win tonight with them. But atleast Tracey can run the ball back and make decent yardage to start a set. And kiraz on the wing is an upgrade on Wilson. Same as xerri at centre is an upgrade on Kiraz. It’s the musical chairs that should have happened.

What else can I say tho?

I realise people want change, but for me it's all about expectations.

I never thought we'd set the world on fire, but just wanted to see improvements in defence.

A better structure.

More commitment.

Greater determination.

I think we showed that.

Of course we need to be better, but we've got a really hard first 5 or so games to start off with .

We'll get there

Preaching to the converted brother this place has always had trouble managing expectations vs reality.

He's a great winger.
People that shit on Wilson are similar to people that shat on Meaney. Wouldn't make the 17 at Melbourne most said... But now he's been starting 6, 1, winger and now trusted by Bellamy at centre. Guarantee if Wilson went to a better club people would cry and want him back.

It was a terrible pass, crucifying him for dropping that is laughable

Not me mate. I'm happy.

It's just footy people. No point getting too carried away with it.

Change, good change, takes time.

We're getting there

Actually I'm happy, but about my son.

We beat Cabramatta today in our first trial and my boy folded a massive islander kid in half with a solo tackle, picked up the ball and offloaded for an 70m try to our FB.

Fkn proud as punch. Perfect technique, head to the side, shoulder into the lower rib cage, hands around the thighs and drove him into the ground with all his might and weight on top of him.

Ohh then after the try he checked on the boy then went to celebrate with the boys.

4. One was that shit pass, another was him going from an intercept that stopped a try and another was from contesting a short drop out. I can't remember what the 4th was. They're hardly the absolute blunders you're making out, the bloke is just the new scapegoat on here because certain fans can't accept that bigger players on bigger paychecks aren't doing their job.

Everyone knows my agenda of having Skelton in FG, but FMD even I can't blame Wilson for knocking on that putrid pass.

I'm happy for either of them to have a chance, I don't particularly care. Just find it funny that certain fans are going so hard after him.

That spine is awful. Taffe 5/10, Burton 4/10, Hutchinson 4/10, Salmon 6/10, Mahoney 6/10.
All playing behind or in (Salmon, Mahoney) a dominated pack. Kikau and Preston are decent edge back rowers, King and Hughes are decent props. Curran should be starting at lock. But gee outside of that the cupboard is bare. NSW Cup middle forwards had Edwards, Knight, Todd starting, with Patolo, Tetevano and somebody else on the bench. Knight is way off, Todd is the least experienced. Tetevano is 33 and played small minutes. Patolo looked way off being ready to return to NRL. Sutton and Fifita would walk in to that NRL pack and KO can't come back soon enough.

a drop out he could have just caught?? And the intercept he could have taken? Any other player and you d be rinsing them, just because you like wilson you cant bare to, if you think hes good enough long term, you are part of the problem
