Montoya cant be picked after yesterday
He dropped the ball that led to the winning try but if it wasn’t for that shit **** Lewis who has no idea what he is doing passing it to him result would’ve been different. Lewis is the problem

I agree the pass was dumb but very catchable

Our first set with the ball he did a shit mid field bomb for a nothing play, the next kick was rubbish too. Foran took control and we start winning. Foran goes off injured and we left with Lewis running the show and lose the game. Can’t believe anyone is even thinking of him in the team for next week let alone ever again.

Whoever takes Foran spot. Needs to put plays on like the run around with separation for Meaney to score untouched. He’s used it for years at Manly. If outside man comes in passes wide for center to score. If they stay out short ball to fullback to score. Did it with snake to Melbourne in grand final. Hopefully one of our halves can do similar maybe Averillo. Leave Lewis there tell him he’s main job. Tackle and kick long. If he forgets just tackle

Thompson came down to Aussie as the beat PROP in superleague. We play him at lock and third or forth hit up...lol

Play the man at prop.

Lewis needs to play for 80mins
Actually I thought that Lewis turned us around by finding the line with some good kicking in the first half, but somehow he again failed in the 2nd half.
I thought that Meany went reasonable at FB, disappointing that he has not been given a fair go their to develop his game, the coach or club should realise that top spine players are hard to find, and Meany may make a reasonable no 1, I liked the way he ran down that much bigger winger. They may think that Hoppa and Averillo are better FB's, but Hoppa is also needed at centre and Averillo should make a really great no.6 if he is allowed to develop there.

It is inconceivable no one has tried to teach Lewis how to close out a game. Hence, it tells me he doesn’t listen and thinks he has all the answers. Yesterday proved he doesn’t, and as the controlling half he lost that game from 12 points up.

Was he meant to be the controlling half or was JMK meant to be it...regardless Lewis hogged the ball and took all the final plays (except when he stupidly got tackled on the 5th) so he assumed the role.

Lewis has proven yet again he’s not a controlling half, he didn’t contribute significantly to our attacking successes, he continues to run out of the on-line defensive line and leave a complete mess behind him...he’s had 30 games to improve and hasn’t.

If Foz is injured AGAIN, or chucking a tanty over the lowball offer, whatever, the halves IMO need to be chosen from Wakeham, Cogger & Averillo. Young and inexperienced, sure. But they aren’t selfish snapperheads living off their uncle’s name.

If it’s the board that keep selecting Lewis, Georgie needs to tell them to f**k off and let him select the side.
Well Tell me what Wakem, or Cogger have done & Averillo has not been tested at halfback, are any of them any better than Lewis. Last year with won the last 4 or 5 games with Lewis at half, with the others I don't think we've won any games at all ,don't get me wrong they are all terrible and not 1st Grade players & your right about Lewis not being able to shut down the game yesterday but would wakem or Cogger have done any better? in my opinion NO. This club Needs to Buy 1 A specialist Fullback .6 A five/ eight . 7 halfback & 9. Hooker we need a hole new Spine.

The turning point was Lewis' failure to find touch, losing us the advantage to close out the game. At the time I was muttering "Just make sure you put the ball out - don't do anything stupid", and what did he do?
