Forward Rotaion?

[The Thracian]

Gee they let Robbie off the hook in the presser, why leave our starting middles off until 10 remaining, when it was too late fkn late? Did he forget they were still on the bench, made a hell of a difference at the back end

[Teddy]

Penrith put the cue in the rack they had done enough, ground us down to dust took the foot off the throat, score flattered us we’re not where we need to be unfortunately.

Egan Butcher is not a first grade standard player for a club wanting to win a Premiership. Middle to bottom end club perhaps but when you are competing against top tier clubs he just has too many errors that cost you. Same goes for Suaalii, not top tier . Top tier is the 1 % plays , working in a system ( ie not jumping out of the line to make the individual play but trusting your defense structure).

Both player mentioned above have not really improved over the last 2 years , they are young so have time but you can’t WIN premierships with this calibre of player

crichton played great when he came on and should get bigger minutes. personally i'd be happy for him to play the full 80 on the edge and play nat in the middle

[A Country Member]

Especially when Trents style is through the front door. It was good test for the side last night. We aren’t quite there yet.

See how the Bulldogs go against Souths today, as they are our opponents next week.

Yep Angus was good. We have no punch with Butcher out there. He needs to go back to the bench.

I don't think it's Nat that should be going to the bench. He should be on one edge for 80mins. He is a tackle bot. Rarely makes an error and adapts well to a system.

Sitili on the other hand, has been hooked 3 weeks in a row and cannot defend nor is he doing anything with ball in hand at present. Do not rate Angus at all anymore but he can't be any worse and given he is taking up a chunk of wages to play 15mins, maybe it's time he plays bigger mins.

I think suaalii is great if played on the wing, and I’m really not sure what Wong has done to not be selected over Egan? Can’t just be a rotation thing, his first two games weren’t standouts, but can’t see too much he did wrong.

[Kelby]

Egan shouldn't play in firsts again.............................. ever.

Reserve grader at best.

Do we drop Toops or Dom for JS on the wing?

This is beginning to look a lot like 2023. Same old same old cannot beat the better teams who are easily dominating us up the middle. Collins and Leniu might help but our kicking game is a big problem leaving us coming out of our own end all the time.

Not wrong there. Remember when we thought he was going to be a world beater?

commentators rave over him , he has done nothing I've seen that's been impressive aside from dropping 3 balls a game ...

Going by how Robbo singled Young out in the presser, he may be next to be shuffled.

[BTRD]

Young has always been clumsy.
