  • Kurt Baptiste

    This guy needs a go, Friend was hooked tonight and deservedly so. Radley can take Butchers place as a roving utility.

    Only problem is Friend, will become our new lock as Robbo wont drop him!!!

    you are right... getting rid of friend will give the entire team the ability to tackle again.


    seriously do you even hear yourself? are you that delusional that you truly think changing friend fixs all our worries? you are either clueless or just jumping on the bandwagon.

      All Baptiste has to offer is a super efficient dummy half service with slick passing , rugged defender with a zippy attacking running game is his main weapon. hhhhmmmmmmmm.......

          Dump one player and all is well again - nope it don't work that way - Baptiste was well down the pecking order as dummy halves go at the Raiders for a reason. best idea is for a full team and coaching staff meeting to fix what is wrong which is plenty even 6 games in - need to change the way they play in all areas- Cronk the on field team manager should be allowed to give a full and frank view of where the team is at and what needs to change and improve going forward.

            Baptiste couldn’t get a start at Canberra, and can’t get a start in a losing Wyong side either.

            I don’t believ he’s the answer.

              I’m betting you have never even seen Baptiste play.
              Friend wasn’t hooked he was given a break mid-game which he has done in every game so far this year. What is a roving utility? Does he move from seat to seat whilst on the bench? Like musical chairs for footballers?

                Friend was hooked.

                He came back on after his stint on the bench; only to stink it up like never before and get the hook.

                  Baptiste will add spark off the bench,just needs a chance..
                  Friend can come off the bench as a back up lock forward with a tackle first mentality,but he’s killing us at hooker!

                    Friend will stay in the team because we have no depth.

                    By my count we only have 19 first grade standard players (18 if you don't count Friend).

                    Butcher and Baptiste are the only two outside our top 17 who meet the standard imo.

                    That's pretty dreadful.

                      1. Baptiste couldn't get a start at Canberra because he was playing behind Josh Hodgson who came 7th in Dally M voting in 2016 and was the 2nd best hooker only behind Cameron Smith
                      2. He did start for Wyong last week but is forced to play with guys like Mitch Cornish

                      He only left Canberra because they needed to become cap compliant

                        I'm a big fan and believer in Chris Smith. He deserves a genuine go but only if head coach adopts a demote/promote mentality. FFS make them work hard and be accountable to retain their spot each week.

                          Maybe as I said before Robbo should channel some Big Jack Gibson in asking them why they should be selected and what they will bring to the team and what will they do in the game- call them KPI's nowadays. Obviously has to be a commitment from a player to do and not do xyz in a game or as Big Jack Gibson would do - get someone else in who will do what they said they would.

                          6 games in the signs are not positive one has to say.

                            He wont come into the 17 till Fergo is playing SOO or he is injured.
                            You cant have 2 baldies in your team. It was outlawed in 1989.

                              I am guessing that rather than acting like a ciggy butt brain and throwing everybody under the bus after a 2 try loss, Robbo is instead reviewing footage and talking to Joey, JT, Mini and Fitzy about what went wrong.

                              Pretty sure the lot of them will come up with something better than:
                              - Sack the captains
                              - Bring a few nuffes in from Wyong to replace them
                              - Offload more
                              - Call everybody in for a massive hollywood-style emotional talk where everything is put out on the table
