Finish him off :grinning:
If he puts even a decent showing then it would do his confidence well. If he doesn't then even he himself will know he isn't FG and should bide his time at Mounties.

The problem is there not up to it. To many are not true footballers but big units who need step by step instructions. If we play advantage line passing our drop ball will increase. Like pay did. If we play early ball they can’t read where to go as to many options. The only style most of our players can play is Des ball which is boring and no good in today’s game I point to Manly. 1 true footballer out and there system fails. We need a clean out and new players. Our juniors are getting better we now need to clear the troth in firsts. Once mountys forwards can be used I’m expecting change and improvement.
I agree with pretty much all of that except the Mounties forwards making much of a difference.

Doorey and eventually Topine are the only ones I'd like to see given a go.

Agree but its high risk.

Meaney to fb and shift Allen to Hoppa's spot only improvement option at this stage with so little to chose from. Avo wing next 2 games.

Deck chairs but..

I have a feeling that he has told the 15 shit c***s that they won't be re-signed.
Yeah but like you said, even then they should be playing their ass off to get a contract somewhere else. Even if it's the ESL.

Not to mention, what soft cock that loves their sport doesn't naturally play hard because they have pride and competitiveness? Guys in local comps across any sport care more and play harder. I know I and my teammates do! Even when we're practising we're competitive.

It's as if all of these players are just there for a pay cheque. Too bad they're too dumb to realise they'll all be playing park footy this time next season at this rate.

I agree with you but 1000% we are getting demolished the next two games.

I know it's a risk but they only different outcome I see is losing by 50 instead of 40.

Def looks like a massive scoreline against us.

We now play for pride and some semblance of competency.

Can't chop and change halves have to give them more of a go to get combinations. Major problem is service from 9.avo just doesn't see enough of the ball. Barrett swapped meany and Allan late. That might be a sign. A major problem is right side defence. Need to get hoppa out of there just too slow in cover. Probs won't get dropped but needs to either go to wing or fb at least in the second half when fatigue sets in. I would also put Jackson on the right edge to help with d after he has had a spell from playing lock. In terms of improving attack no idea...

I don’t really mind this as we might get to see if something different works.
The problem is, we barely have anyone to replace him with. I guess Chris Smith gets a run on the bench with Elliott at lock and Doorey on an edge?

His lack of leadership as a captain sure won't be missed.

No, keep Elliott on the edge for SC reasons please.

I’m not sure. I think Elliott will probably stay on the edge he’s been going well there he just gets way too much ball.
I’d rather Doorey get a run over C SMith. If we are going to waste a year I’d rather younger players get as much game time as possible.

Jackson is going to be suspended for two weeks for a crusher tackle.

Somehow Suluka-Fifita is only looking at one week for punching a player on the ground in the back of the head. What a joke.
Radio said might get off or max 1 week as not a crusher but head slam. Not sure how it is better but...

Doorey should have played regardless of the suspension. Hopefully someone like Britt doesn't get a call up instead. Unfortunately Napa will play every game at this rate because there's no one to drop him for.
