Can we get rid of the following:
Tolman, reason? Shit ****
Eastwood: reason? I mean.....
Elliot: reason? Yeah exactly
Woods: reason? More worried about his luscious fabulous hair and just no impact, drops the ball and points to the air to the ref.

Potentially Frawley will need to go, I don’t think his game compliments forans.
Woods needs a firecracker. He needs to shut up, stop milking shit and hit hard.

I suggest you go watch the NSW Cup game yesterday.

Here are the highlights: https://www.nswrl.com.au/news/2018/03/10/nofoaluma-scores-double-in-western-suburbs-win/

Not one single forward stood up and will make Pay consider them.

Asipeli Fine MAYBE (in for Elliott) because he was extended bench for NRL, but every other forward in NSW Cup was absolute rubbish.

If you can't last more than 20-30 minutes before your hands are on your hips.
If you can't do a basic thing like wrap up the ball in a tackle to stop an offload.
If you can't bend a line against borderline NRL props with first grade experience.
Then you aren't going to pressure for a first grade spot.

So please everyone, unless you watched NSW Cup game yesterday, don't be suggesting we change our lineup.

I watched the game and out of it only 2 players sparked any interest:

1. Anderson in the centres.
2. Lachlan Lewis (in a bad team).

Neither have an opening in first grade though, nor are in Top 30 players.
What I seen of lewis he was rubbish, very disappointed after how he played in the trial

There’s a big difference playing with better players around you including Foz barking (no pun intended) at you

Plus his role would be a lot simpler in first grade off the bench

Fucken oath. That’s why I couldn’t understand why we bought someone like him if we’re going for the dogs of war bulldog DNA lol.

You must have watched Jerry Lewis. Lachlan was one of our better halves in the trials.
The next 3-4 weeks we’ll see who wants to play NRL.
ATM depth is lacking nobody’s standing out in ISP

Lewis played rubbish in that game. Brown was much better. Otherwise I agree with your assessment.

He may have been in the trials but not in a comp game when it counted. Brown was all over him yesterday.

Hell no. I wouldn't change the forwards.

There's one simple thing to point out. Storm scored 3 tries because Jackson missed tackles. Our captain and the best forward we have cost us 3 tries.

The forwards weren't the problem. The team didn't quite gel against the best team in the league. You don't rebuild an entire club with one game.

I never said trial don't mean anything, i said the score doesn't. And yes Eastwood did perform well in them, but as usual he was back to his usual lazy self and contributed fuck all. He just isn't up to NRL footy.

Tualau has proven he can perform off the bench at NRL level, he simply must be on the bench. I don't care about yesterdays ISP performance, something was off with that side.
I don't know why you pick on Eastwood. Not many players are consistent.
Even your mate mbye is lazy

You need to read it properly.... I said he was disappointing yesterday compared to the trial
