It's strange, we had so much hope with a new look pack that apart from last night was equal to the first 4 teams we played and all it did with the extra space it provided our spine instead of helping them shine as you'd expect, it potentially ended 2 N.R.L careers by exposing how inept and impotent they are with and without the ball.

Ok so ive had a night to digest the tripe that was served up last night along with the previous 4 rounds. Our 1,6 and 7 are reserve grade standard, how the hell Sheens think Doueihi is the answer at the back is beyond me the man is senile. It wouldnt surprise me if the media reports of Benji having opposing views in the background is true.
It might be time for Tim to take a step back things werent good enough under Madge and they are no better if not worse with arguably better cattle at least in the forwards. But with all the improvements we've made in the pack they were walked through like they werent there last night. Things need to change and change quickly, we need to bite the bullet and pay the cash for transfer fee's from England. Try and get Williams or Dodd try and get Welsby out here put the Brooks Doueihi experiment to bed Brooks isnt going to change multiple coaches have tried and failed Doueihi has never done anything of note anyway its a shame we resigned him more bad management.
Finally someone has to go for me its Pascoe the fish rot's from the head, thank you for the COE but its time to go. No one else in sporting administration could over see such mediocrity and survive. To put it bluntly these performances must be costing money in the form of sponsorship ect so we need to arrest the slide and do it sharpish.

How does a bloke who has consistently gotten worse at his job get more money, he’s having a laugh.
AD is my least fav player at the moment.
But then we did have that blow-up doll called Anasta.
They recruit players that are good humans before they are good footballers. By that they recruit guys that have the attitude to put the work in and build themselves up.
Bronson Garlick an underrated example but Josh King is probably the most high profile example.

I think we need to sack Pascoe he’s had his chance and failed time after time then work towards getting benji the best assist coaches in the game next to him to help him get success in 25. Then work on getting the best halfback money can buy. Then promote bula to a top 30 spot and play him the remainder of the year to give him experience

Wayne would take him at the Dolphins and prob turn him into a star.
Why we chop and change is beyond me. If you're in the team to play 6 and you're shit, either you go back to reserves and earn redemption or you get moved on.
We don't owe AD anything. His mum doesn't own the club. No point in being here

ROSTER OVERHAUL
Released: Maumalo
Off contract & not to be resigned: Brooks, Staines, Talau, Wakeham, Laurie,
Seyfarth, Api Saukuru & Tuki Simpkins.
Off contract 24 & 25 to be shopped around: Doueihi, Nofoaluma & Sione Fainu.
They lefts 8 backs & 4 forwards to come into the squad. My suggestions to fill these spots are as follows:
Players are off contract in 23 & 24.
Backs: K.Weekes, T.Jenkins, Kayal Iro, G.Williams, J.Campbell, A.Clune (back up half) & M.Hiroti (back up outside back).
Forwards: J.Curran & Jack Johns.
Leaving 1 back & 2 forward spots open to promote from within the club.

Slater, one of the smartest minds around the game today - suggested AD to lock.
Cmon now... he can't tackle, he's scared of contract (so is Laurie) he can't hang in the pack until he toughens up.
AD has proved he's a myth, I can't see a position in the team for him going forward.
You do realize Ken already was paid a portion of his salary right, the only reason he moved on was to free up a roster spot.

To put it in context …he said AD is not a fullback… and then got asked if he should move to a center… he didn’t want to say no.. so he said move him to lock…
I agree that would be a disaster…so would him playing center…
The only place fir him is 6 big you can’t have him and Brooks as the two halves
On another note… who is the lady in the box with the coaches at 2.07 of that Channel 9 video?
If that figure is accurate it is as bad a contract as what Packer was on
Kassidy Grant, analyst.
She helps Simon Dwyer with his role...
AD is a 6 and a 6 ONLY.
But yes, as you said.... our spine is so below standard.

That makes me irrationally angry.
2007 is more than a few years ago.
Best example is probably Parramatta besides the Broncos. You need to look at what happened at Parramatta between 2015 to 2016.
They won back to back spoons in 2012 and 2013. And didn’t look out of it until 2016.
