On Lafai to quote Jake the muss, "Too much weights not enough speed work."
Lafai just stops dead and tries to fend everyone off. It's like watching the game plan of an overweight poly kid with a fake birth certificate playing for the under 6 berala bears but unfortunately rival NRL players aren't 6 years olds

Would rather Hoppa play fullback and see what Morris can do back on the wing.
Trial match experiments expected.

We're would you put tha parrot in the centers?
Put the Perretts in 6 and 7 give them both co captaincy and buy as many brothers as possible because that's what's important, also drop Rona, he's shit, scored too many tries last year. BMoz needs to put on at least 20kg and put him in at prop so he can get as much ball as possible

1. Tolman
2. Reynolds
3. Hopoate
4. Loko
5. JMoz
6. S. Perrett
7. L. Perrett

There's 3 of the best sideway shufflers in the comp right there for tackles 1-3. Give Tolman every attacking 4th tackle to slow things down. Train Lloyd Perrett to chip and chase every chance he gets

Yeah but why at the expense of the guy who has played some truly brilliant footy and has the best ahead of him instead of the old bloke who is now, frankly one of the worst wingers in the NRL

lol please. You may not like the team or the way its coached, neither do I, but Des Hasler coached teams don't compete for spoons. We will be in the finals again will we be serious contenders? Who knows, but I would bet my house and children that we wont be competing for the spoon.

2012 team was awful team on paper we make GF, 2013 lost 5 of the first 6 still made finals, 2014 Sam P at FB LMAO and still made GF, 2015 under achieved but still made semis 2016 lose Tim Lafai and we are now SPOON contenders, LOL ok.

Cook played 4-5 games with us and had no bearing on us making the finals, we still would have made the finals had Lichaa not got injured. Hodko MEH, and Thompson lol. The only big loss IMO is Frank. I'm not saying we are in great shape or are serious threats I'm just saying we aren't no where near spoon contenders. Hasler for all his faults knows how to get a team to the finals, 11 years straight.

I would have been happy to keep Lafai around if he could find his old form, but he didnt fire a shot in 2015. In 2014 whenever he got the ball i was expecting something to happen, and often it did. I hope he finds the old form wherever her goes. Also hope that Hopoate can find his old form too, under his old coach. If he does, he will be a good signing. Im not going to judge Hopoate until i see him run a little while in blue and white under Des.

We have the team, a little more injury luck and no repeat of the last Good Friday match this year will help. Mbye should improve being specialist trained at half. Last year he was trained going into the season as a super sub, to cover various positions without being a master of any. We had a shambles of a year in 2015, and still made it as far as winning 1 final. Not a complete disaster, but a lot short of what the side would be capable of if they all clicked at the same time. I dont think we were as far of being premiership material as people make out. On our day we could and have beaten both grand finalists.

Believe me I'm sick of Des too but we won't finish with the spoon. Sure we will miss the 8, but not the spoon.
