Then there's Braith Anasta. I've always liked him. I don't blame his performances on going west in 2013 as he's been the same all year. He is a player who performs well in good teams. We aren't a good team. I'm not excusing him - he's the captain and needs to be a prime mover in creating "team". We don't play as a team. We show no evidence of being "a team".

Key Issue:

In my opinion, we are playing like a team who don't seem to like each other or trust each other.

I say move Jake Friend to lock. Start with Seluini and Mortimer to the bench.

This!!! Friend is fat, slow and most of all DUMB!!!! He takes the wrong option so many times, and has the pace of a three legged wombat!!

Some on here say he will be the next Qld SOO hooker.

[Spanner in the works]

Some on here say he will be the next Qld SOO hooker.

I used to think that. Now I'm not so sure.

Some on here are stupid.

I can't think of any player in our squad that has improved ever since Smith took over.

[Ray Stehr]

Friend at best was only average.

Anasta has not kicked out on the full this year

Anasta has not kicked out on the full this year

I can't remember him taking a hit-up this year.

One positive cancelled out by a negative.

I will say one thing, i am glad that some on here have no place in our recruitment.

We would need a squad of 56 for all the changes that need to be made week in and out.

Please learn to differentiate form and actual potential. We have a lot of good players that are just not realizing their potential. Martin Kennedy is a perfect example, when he was on - everyone was on the bandwagon. A horrendous run in form and all of a sudden he is a player with no future.

PLEAAAAASEEEEE

We already have enough Cogburns on here.

No offense Ray - love ya work!

Anasta never took a hit up though.

We are such a shit club.

[Guest]

Guys its not the players who r shit its the whole coaching staff,,

E,g look at the dogs last year under kevin moore compared to des hasler and all they bought was James Graham

[RooSta]

I don't no why people ( not all )
Bag arona or even tasi I think they actually have been 2 of the more consistant players well I've seen tasi play better but I don't think he's been poor he's been pretty good coming off the bench and arona has been one of the very few improvers this year he's stats all year have been fairly high and he looks like he's dropped a few kilos and worked on he's fitness. I thought he was very hard done by getting dropped a few times this year been better then Kennedy aubo and mose all year, FPN is annoying because he shows glimpses of wat he can do but then go's MIA he's game a couple weeks back against the tigers was best he's played in 2 years they couldn't control him was breaking tackles off loading at will and tacking hit ups every set but ain't seen him produce that consistantly since he's also a main offender for laying all over the player in the ruck going to far and giving penalties..
