    Not fit enough, it would seem. He is clearly exhausted the final 10-15 mins of each half, and that's when the boneheaded kicks and plays come out.

    Have you ever seen a tired Cam Smith?

      Pity as he doesn't belong in First Grade, he just plain and utterly useless ever since the refs have allowed him to be run of the ball in bomb situations.For all of Trents talk of Burgess not being ready defensively ( As if Fergo is either ) I would accept that as he brings alot more offensively,

        He is a Supercoach's wet dream sure, but his overall influence on our side each week is resoundingly negative
        Pretty accurate at the moment unfortunately. Has gone IMO from the second best hooker in the game behind Smith, to way down the list. Absolutely tries his guts out, but his decision making uas been poor.

          How this fat prick can't just lose some weight to be able to play 80 mins of footy without being gassed 25 mins into each half truly is beyond me
          Friend was playing by himself tonight at some stages of the game.

          I lost count of how many times he was pouring into open space with no one supporting him. Had it been 2013 he would've had 2 or 3 blokes running off either shoulder each time and set up a few tries tonight.

            Harsh on Nikorima too, a 19 year old kid asked to play a position and role that require something that can only be learnt by time & experience. His time will come, there's undoubted talent there.

              Feel sorry for the giraffe, but I reckon you're right.
              Jennings leaving hasn't helped his game either.
              The Giraffe needs a stint in the Wyong team.

                Does Robbo have the bottle to actually drop players though?

                I dont think so.

                  His ability hasnt declined. The game has sped up to the point where two hookers are required. The only team in the top 8 with 1 hooker is Melbourne and they have one of the greatest hookers of all time.

                    Tupou is a strange one. Sometimes he completely sucks and I hate him but a week after he'll score a double and have a great game. I would rather someone who is consistently solid (Such as a Jennings or even a Maloney) compared to a guy who might put two good games together and then be terrible for six.

                    I think Jennings and even someone like Brendan Elliot on the left side would be a lot more dangerous than Elliot/Tupou.

                      never has to date. he and management only drop players from the roster. if toops is dropped i would give johnny sheck a go more so than the ex pat pom thats getting a sun tan on the central coast.

                        Either way, it's going to be a very interesting ride no doubt.

                          Friend is the fittest in the side. No one comes close in the current squad. Morts use to give him a run for his money.

                            Give yourself an undercut.

                              Everyone will love you if stage 2 of your prediction works out.

                                Granville played 80 minutes the other night.

                                He has developed into a great player!
