management have brought this on themselves

look this f u c k e n shits me to bits.
widdop has just re-signed at the storm
hopoate is leaving the game for 2 years on mormon duties-they always come back shit
the fact is we have the bloody players to win 100 games,but you have to question the tactics supercoach uses every game.
why is the italian dummy half,why does he run the ball from kick-offs and not pass to a fwd.
why the hell we talking about bj into 2nd row-we have a 1000 2nd rowers.
why has jake friend all of a sudden become a scapegoat for lack of direction in the team plays.
Who the f a rk told riddell to kick in general play,i dont remeber him doing it at saints, and parra.BTW-why doesnt he kick the f a rken goals.Anasta is haphazard at best.
The directions and guidance these blokes get from the off feild people beggars belief.Brandon Costin was a 'capable'player,and he coached some s h it team in some s hi t league in Qld,how does that qualify him as assistant coach in the nrl.
That trainer/conditioner/moron from the bloody brid=sbane lions-what is he doing in the nrl.
They punted cherriaco mescia, and they havent used the 'fall guy' fabri since the preseason.
In summary,I go back to my original statement,we have the personnel to win 100 games,but we do not have both on field direction,or off field guidance.

Also...Hopoate might be hard to get here but doesn't he have some brothers? Any of them inherited talent?

If not, we could always do with more bouncers at the club !

And for the last time, keeping Soward would have done **** all for us.

Since Finch mach 22 came into 1st grade, when did we give a young bloke a shot ?? In his 5 yrs the recruitment and development of decent young halves has been non existant, Pearce has had 1 maybe 1 1/2 good years in that time, which aprt from an off season of protein shakes, has failed to reach the dizzy heights his sect has preached.

Playing without pressure has done him more harm than good, for when it comes time to step up and be the man, he cant.

I can compare the Mitchell Pearce situation to Australia.

Long bow, bear with me.

If you look at every country that had to fight for it's independence then it's national pride is strong. Look at America, barring the fact that their presidents have been more and more incompetent over the last 30 years, they have national pride and if anything affects their country, like 911, they kick up a hell of a stink over it.

In Australia, a country that was given it's independence, along with a constitution that has successfully stopped 99% of the attempts at reform, the collective people wander along like Brown's cows (or dragons) and it takes the prospect of paying more tax (regardless of the merits) through the carbon dioxide tax to make them raise their heads from the cud, and even now that anger is subsiding (barring on late night talkback) and people are starting to return to the cud.

Now to Pearce - he is Australia. Scott Prince, who has been pressured and pushed his entire career, is America.

Anasta is China, greedy for money and not giving a damn who gets hurt, embarrassed or harassed to get it.
