he's injuredhe hasnt dont himself any favours not playing tonight
you know that both will be picked. he didnt even take the uncoordinated fuck off at all in either trial, he played the full 80 both times despite being fucking terrible and no doubt will get a start round 1If Knockonmor and JMK are picked then that proves baz is not a coach at all.
I agree. A few weeks of gelling with the combinations in real game time will make a huge difference. Not just Hethro, but the team as a whole. Deep breaths and a little patience.hetherington was good on the edge, had limited ball but his carries were very strong
to keep burton at the club longer then his 2 years, we need to avoid being close to the spoon at all costsI want this year to ride off, I genuinely hope we get close to the spoon again so we make the right changes
Yep I think its pretty obvious the 17 last night will be the 17 picked in Rd 1. Even if RFM is fit I reckon they play him in NSW Cup for at least a week or 2. I am surprised that they are going with Wakeham at 14 though. To me BBO is a much better option in that role.No matter what team is picked for R1 we need to stick with it for a few weeks. Changing the combinations every week will kill us.

Notes
*I think Burton as I mentioned in another thread I think Burton needs to play both sides of the ruck not just kept on left side.
*TPJ moves to lock where he should be JJ has to go back to backrow but after tonight he would be lucky to make the side but go no depth
* i would start Josh Cook did more in half a game them jmk has done all his career and Wakeham of the bench as the utility but I no Barrett will start Marshall-King
*RFM not due back to Round 4 or 5
* Hoffman to centres Naden replaces Okunbur on the wing thought he looked solid against knights
His defence is SUSPECT as fuck. He can’t read it. Two tries in two weeks. Cause 1. He’s scared to tackle or 2. He just is lost defending in the halves.I like Averillo and was backing him as half but after those 2 trials I’m very concerned.
He wasn’t the reason we lost but he needed to straighten the attack to create an overlap or ask questions of defence we had a chance of scoring instead he just catch and pass. BBO is imo the only threatening half we half.
And cook needs to be 9 far bettter service and awareness.
I'd rather see Lewis at Half back and that is really sad!!With Averillo at HB and Okunbor on the wing, we are guaranteed of a bottom 4 finish
I'd rather have Mbye at HB than Averillo.....that's how shit Averillo is at HB
