Reality Check

[Guest]

Ahhhhhhhhh now your onto something, our kids (along with all of our experienced players) have no chance with Smithy and Son and Elliot running the show!!

I just love it on here how certain people make out as though no other team in the NRL except us have any 18-21 year olds!

Stop being disengenous dickhead. My post sets out to demonstrate a lack of balance in the experience of the team which results in a lack of success.

You continue to sprout agenda driven bullshit.

So then what chance do our kids (and they are kids) have?

They will be alright in the long run, I think we have some decent young players. At least Anasta is gone next year, that's a positive. Shame he couldn't take Mini with him, he is a disgrace. He is our worst player and easily the worst fullback in the comp.

Where are the idiots that were happy with his re-signing now?

Oracle speaks the truth, unlike the crap that you come out with.

Tonight showed some amazingly dumb coaching decisions. Kennedy left on the field when he was clearly struggling, leading to him letting in the softest try of the night from dummy half. Coach subs him from the in goal area after the try. Coupled with Seluini taken off with 10 minutes to go replaced with the attacking dynamo that is Jake Friend when we are 10 points behind and need to score to win the game

Really, please demonstrate where the experience you speak of is in the above list of players and games?

10 out of our 17 were more than experienced enough tonight!! We would of had 1 more if Perrett didn't leave cause he can't stand Smiffy. Just how many experienced players do we bloody need or just how bloody many games does a player need to have for God sake??????????? 200 games minimum???????????? What is your excuse for why these 10 experienced players are not playing at their best????????? Why aren't our super talented young players not coming on as quick as what they do at other clubs????????? Why do you keep on defending Smiffy sooooooo desperately at the detriment of our club?????????????????????

here. if he had a pack in front of him rolling their sleeves up, not giving away silly penalties and playing consistently as well as a 6 with a bit of ability, he would not be being criticised. he is not being used properly and that is a coaching and structural issue. if smith had a clue, he would not try and make mini play like barba and slater because he cant. instead he would tell mini to purely support play in attack and run good straight hard lines around the ruck off forwards like he used to. he still has the fitness to do it and defensively he has been pretty good all year. we also need him from an experience perspective with RTS, moga, leilua and SKD rounding out the rest of our backline. even if its on the wing, there is a place for him next year. difference between him and anasta is even if you thought they were both equally bad, being a fullback/winger, mini has far less of a chance to affect the game negatively when compared to your 5/8

1. Punctuation is not an argument.
2. Where did I mention the coach.

I have been saying for some time that the balance of this squad is all wrong, which I believe is the key problem for our failure this year.

Mini does run in support, he just isn't strong or fast enough to make an impact. He was finished years ago.

I agree with Cogburn.

We are rubbish.

My agenda is to see our great club back at the top where it should be!!!

im not saying he is still at his best but he has something still to offer imo. the reason he doesnt have that much impact is because he is being asked to play in a manner that he is not suited to/accustomed to even if he were in his prime. when was mini ever a second 5/8 style fullback. whenever he is support playing, the passes he receives are so poor/heavily telegraphed or the play is so mistimed and that he made look like a dill more often than not.
