More changes probably needed, but off the top of my head this would be the first 3.

OUT
Perham
Alamoti
Okunbur

IN
Wilson
Burns
Topine

TPJ is a fuckwit, but unfortunately we stuck with him.
Agree with Perham to Wilson.
But not Topine.
Pele will come in.
What about Kitione Kautoga, can he get a run this year?

I don’t mind that team but would only have one of Brown and Flanagan on the bench, I would keep Morrin.

Watching that presser seems to me Ciro is putting our defensive issues down to players not buying into his system and individuals lack of effort on scrambling

Like a few of us have said tonight our attack wasn’t all that bad we just lacked polish (dumb kicks or forced passes) we broke their line multiple times and Fox also bombed that last try so I have no real issues with scoring points but geez we need some serious work on defence

CC picked out Rajab, Oloapu and Preston as our 3 best so there’s your 3,2,1 [emoji23]

Bench full of skeletons, getting rolled.
First thing Olaupa and Okun to not miss tackles

I agree. There’s too many soft one on one misses that lead to direct tries. Every week. Not sure if it’s an attitude or fatigue thing but it’s bad. Cc can’t be responsible for individual attitude but he should be able to drop them.

There can't be mass changes, we do not have the cattle.

We might get some minor tweaks but that is it.
We have a NSW cup side leading the comp and won 64-12 today. It's time for changes.

It's just that half the squad is still not NRL standard. Polish that turd all you like but it's still a turd.

No idea how Karl was anywhere near our best, done absolutely nothing other than that run to setup Burton and then eventually moved to lock. Just on that why the fuck are we changing our 5/8 during the game and moving him to lock? I don't fucking understand.

Ciro said he was more impressed with Reggie’s defence than the 60’odd points

Surely at least 3 changes are made

...and until Gus pulls his finger out and buys a halfback the club will still be screwed.

Exactly this.

Which comes down to recruitment & retention. I think the model of bringing in quality young ones and developing from within is the best long term decision. However we have been building without an NRL standard half for years now and nothing is done about it. We have had a poor middle rotation for years and we just add duds like Sutton.

We have the worst roster in the competition both in quality and balance.

He’s the only bloke who hits with his shoulder. Too many arm grabbing pansy efforts today.

Spot on it all starts with an experienced halfback. If Gus can't deliver on this he's wasting our time. Blind Freddy could have seen this going into this year.
