This the idiot from the bunker last week?

If so 80 mins with him is going to be fun

Yep, ref from the bunker vs Sharks.

I cant seem to find them. Crichton is a centre. (best in the world). Kiraz is only a winger.
Tracey is a hot and cold player and not a fullback. Wilson is a good winger, but not a fullback.
Maybe its JAC your referring to.

Taaffe isn't a NRL player.

Its a team full of utilities they can find multiple ways to lose. If the side was actually picked with an eye to the future, and yes regardless of wether some of them are ready, considering NSW Cup and NRL players, CC could pick.
1. Papali'i
2. JAC
3. Crighton
4. Xerri
5. Kiraz/Skelton/Wilson
6. Burton
7. Sexton/BBO terrible options
8. King
9. Mahoney
10. Hughes/Patolo
11. Kikau
12. Preston
13. Curran
14. Mann
15. Kautoga/ Morrin/Salmon/Samrani
16. Hughes/Patolo
17. Knight
The halves remain weak, and the rotation of forwards doesn't look exciting.
Plus Todd, Sutton and Fifita later in the year would help forward rotation. But still with these players in mind, they will struggle to make the 8, without a quality 7 and an Alpha prop.

Yeah but the bunker guy who actually ruled the no-try ...we got him ugh!

Finally!!! someone else championing BBO.... when he moves clubs and excels you will all be sorry

That was more the refs fault, once he said he thought there was ref interference would have been hard for the bunker to overturn. Ref should have just blown the whistle.

 

[Moedogg]

Honestly, we've got a decent squad capable of overachieving, it's not like the Dean Pay era where we basically had reserve graders making up most of the squad.

CC just needs to get the players in the right positions. Shift Burton to where he be more potent and that's at center. Bring Sexton to 5/8th and Keep Hutch at HB. Critta or Tracy goes to FB.

 

[KLil]

Who gives a shit

Ur an idiot.

 

[CrittaMagic69]

Ur an idiot.

Na uh

 

[KLil]

Na uh

De fo.

 

[KLil]

Yep, ref from the bunker vs Sharks.

He is going to get railed at Belmore... I feel sorry for the match stick.

 

[CrittaMagic69]

De fo.

You beat us with Bruno in defence and Maguire in attack, defence ain't all there is to winning games

 

[chemdog]

Yeah but the bunker guy who actually ruled the no-try ...we got him ugh!

we'll be fine....

im sure the home crowd at belmore will boo Todd Smith all game if we cop shit decisions

 

[wendog33]

When has that ever helped? Only makes them feel justified in going harder. Probably deliberate move by the refs.

Hahaha touché... Though you probably loosed because your defenders were too busy attacking?

Bro i reckon wait till we get some decent props on board and see what happens first.

I swung through training today and had a look at how the middles were going. Tetz is a beast and Patolo looking really close... I wouldn't be surprised if they start pushing for spots in a couple of weeks if they stay healthy... Bit of extra size would do us wonders.

Also the boys looked energetic, positive and up beat... Plenty of laughing going on.

Attacking... tired.

Sounds like everything is on track.
A string of wins is not far away.

Our middles are at least 2 years away and that doesn't mean they'll be good enough either. If we're hoping Tetevano and/or Patolo are the answer that's very optimistic.
