LMFAO, let the kNightmares begin.

That side is sheeaatt. I can only hope Freddy was drunk when he named it and he wakes up with a hangover and a clear head.

[Guest]

Drunk or just couldn't give a shit???

[Guest]

Is it just me or are there 2 many forwards, we need someone creative on the bench! Add Sa and Jones arent natural centres and many see Anasta as a lock.

I really believe if the team fires up we can beat the Knights. Willie Mason at lock LOL

[Chookies74]

Our season is over, so why carry on with this sh*t?

Start restructuring the team, and, wow, it might give them a phucking incentive to gave a full on go.
This is phuckin sad.

P.S Those that are close to the club, pls tell them they won't get any more of my cash this yr (min 2 tickets when we go) if they keep rolling out this side that 'tries hard' but gives me no incentive to watch.

I'd have the team like this ^.

Why mason is having the start at lock is beyond me. Best played as a bench player. And someone tell me why he isnt turning in the tackles looking for an off load instead of taking a hit up. He is tall enough and has the build to get easy offloads yet he is playing like a prop.

That looks like a much better balanced team with what we have available currently mate.

As for Masons use im stumped also, both with his not being started from the bench and his hit up role. I can only presume thats how hes been told how to play by the coach???

No logic in much of what weve seen this season so far from the club IMO.

Because there is no one to offload to. Have a look at this weekends game and there is no one looking for the offload. Just going for metres. I hope Freddie addresses that...

It was Minis role in the past from what I recall mate.

Id say Tansey has tried to bob up and look to trail players looking for the offload. Trouble is either we are coached not to offload or have forgotten how because it doesnt come off ever for us.

Ive always wondered why Perrett doesnt play more like that, he certainly has the pace to be effective in the role. Watching Chris Walkouts last few outings hes still the master at it. Remember how good he was off Freddys hip in the middle of the ruck???

I think at times we are coached to play negative, hit ups one out and inside balls, cos the coaches fear mistakes. Trouble is we make basic unforced errors anyway, its what we are best at. IMO we should at least be making errors playing an adventurous style of play. It cant get much worse that what we offer at the moment, the most obvious and readable gameplan in the comp.

[Pass the Ball]

OK - This game shapes up as the best coached team in the competition against the worst coached team in the competition...

I assume you all know which one we are..

This one could result in Freddy getting "the full support of the board"...

Of coarse this is just my opinion...

[Guest]

coach needs to go

fitler needs to gooooooooooooo

he is like nathan brown as a coach clueless

[Guest]

Do you want to say it again.....

I dont think the people in the back heard you......

Dear god, this is the only bad part about a free forum....

I reckon Ben Jones has been pretty useless, I would put Perrett at centre he can actually break tackles and has some experience there, and Waqa to the wing.
