Opinion These players need to be replaced

[bradyk]

No he isn’t in the top 30. Reynolds took the spot he should have got.

Hoffman did

 

[boggie23]

It’s easier stating which players are retained then replaced

list will be too long otherwise.

 

[Haddaway]

Rfm needs to go, he's average.

He doesn't hit holes, he NEVER passes. Havnt seen an offload in ages.

All he does is run and wobble his head around lol

 

[Bulldogsteve]

Rajab isnt top 30.

And doesn’t deserve to be, he was terrible yesterday and is not fg ready

 

[The DoggFather]

Officially our top30 is full, are you referring to the rumour Brandon Clarke is being released & who else?

I checked and it said 29 spots used.

Let me try to find it again...

Morrin deserves a 30 spot for his play yesterday

His motor needs Cuck Jnrs body

 

[Geoff Chambers]

He cost us more points than he scored when he was a regular, and has not been effective at all this year.

JR's just got no business being a participant in an NRL fixture. I'm sure he knows but he was very effective with his publicity over the holiday months. I read so many stories about his "train and trial deal" and how he's the "truest bulldog of them all" Which is all well and good but sadly it doesn't = match winning performances on game day, he shouldn't be out there at all. IMO of course

 

[dogwhisperer]

Flanno is years away yet he has 50 first grade games.

The biggest problem is lack of forwards. No platform for anyone to do anything.

I think a lot of people are underestimating the injuries we’ve had in the forwards. I would have loved to see Thompson under Ciraldo. You’re never ever going to get good defense and attack with players chopping and changing every week. Puts things out of whack when you have a different defender inside and outside of you every week.

 

[flamebouyant]

And doesn’t deserve to be, he was terrible yesterday and is not fg ready

Unfortunately a lot of these young halves we have on the books are not ready. Grub appears to be the only real logical choice to replace Flange. People may not want this or like it, but a change is needed, and he is the only one capable of filling that hole at this point.

You omitted Fa'amanu Brown from top30 & also recent development player Kitione Kautoga, so no spots available.

I didn't "omit" anything, it's obviously a cut and paste job from a news article.

Must of been from earlier in the year.

Plus there is a question mark over Clarke and his situation, so we may have 1 spot left.

 

[Robbothedestroyer]

Morrin needs to develop an offload or passing game or better step otherwise unfortunately will get dominated in the modern game. Bash and barge at his size will not cut it.

 

[Dognacious]

Hayze perham has had 8 weeks to show something he brings nothing

Kyle flannagan needs to be replaced and it’s not by KO I think khaled rajab should be given a go

Everyone else is playing decent

Both players are replaced, Perham by Critta and Flanagan by KO. Just not yet. We were never winning the comp this year anyway, so doubt we try and change anything for this year. So yeh, dont think they need to be replaced. And they haven't been the biggest of our issues anyway. Having 11 on the injured list, the most in the NRL right now, plus a couple of big name signings playing under expectations hasn't helped. I'm looking at Burton, Mahoney, and TPJ. None of them are making an impact worthy of their pay packet at the moment. Flanno and Perham arent even in the top 5 problems. So dont expect any changes unless injuries get worse. Maybe Ciraldo will give KO a taste this year some time though.

 

[Brian Boru]

Next year's backline should be

1. Crichton
2. Xerri
3. Kiraz
4. Almotti
5. Addo-Carr
6. Burton
7. (An experience half)
8. King
9. Mahoney
10. TPJ
11. Kikau
12. Preston
13. Edwards

14. Nu Brown*/BBO/Oloapu
15. Hughes
16. RFM
17. Pele/Patolo*/Sutton

I really do think we need to sign an experienced halfback and a decent prop.

Watching Edwards and Hughes play lately I must say deserve to be in FG. Edwards game has developed a lot compared to last year. I see him a ball playing lock which will come good and defends well.

Xerri is a centre and Kiraz is a very good winger. RFM should be co captain of the reserves with Sutton.
KO hopefully or if he moves to 13 any other 1/2 than Flanno.

 

[Robbothedestroyer]

Next year with new additions Xero, critta, and young semrani, gabreal, papa, Wilson coming thru we should have the makings of a decent backline.
Hughes and the big unit from the titans should add some size thru the middle. Would also add skelton to the forwards for impact.
Half back is still a major hole if KO still needs time. The young kid we signed from the qrl seems to have disappeared or is injured.
