S G is certainly not doing anything that might help either Barret or our club next year.

 

[David holland]

Line up and collect the spoon for 2020,mass changes are you joking

 

[jof]

FMD. I called it that he'd bring Lewis back in. What a step backwards Georgy boy! Cogger was playing okay all things considered. Not his fault the senior half goes missing.

And what the fuck even is that team?? Yeah Thompson really needs a rest. The ***** done sweet fuck all.

 

[enoughsaid]

I just here to read the Love for Lewis, Tolman, Dwz, Montoya and Holland

 

[fiordog]

Wow. Just wow. Stevie G promised some changes and he sure as shit made them... wondering if he's got the Raiders 13+ / Raiders at the line (doesn't matter what the line is) / Raiders HT/FT double multi-ed.

At least To'omaga is on the bench??!

*edited so i could properly rant*

Wtf is this team. How does:

1) Lewis walk straight back in and Cogger get dropped
2) Lafai get dropped for Montoya (yeh yeh apples for apples I hear you saying)
3) Napa taking Tolman's spot instead of being on the bench
4) Tolman go to Lock and Jacko back on the edge when Jacko was actually do a fair job in a position he's been wanting for a while (way to piss off your capt.)
5) Thompson get left right out and Britt comes in (what, was Chris Smith unavailable so you had to pick another reserve grader instead of your England rep who could use as much game time as possible?)

What about a back line of the below?

1	Nick Meaney

[Mr. Ditkovich]

Excellent team selection.

Whoever picked these teams will never get another coaching job in the NRL.

Absolutely useless.

 

[COVENS]

Oof. That is fucked
