All I’m saying is they offer a lot more in attack than the players in their positions that played tonight.
In a perfect world it would be nice if we had better, but unfortunately we don’t.
I think it’s pretty clear Kepaoa has to be offloaded, he’s a big unit, but doesn’t use his size to advantage and struggles defensively.
Nofa looks like he’s doing his best, but looks to be busted and now lacks size and pace, we should look at offloading him to the UK even if we have to still pay part of his wage.
Hopefully we can recruit another outside back with more ability than what we currently have.

Definitely need to upgrade. Naden appears to be another bust despite showing glimpses when he is actually available (hardly ever).
 
Brooks has missed enough games this year to prove the problems run deeper, but the illusion will linger all off season that somehow we are going to go to the moon next season. I don’t know how you can be any clearer. Api, Ice, Klemmer, Bateman, all seasoned vet’s and we are still dead last. What’s one more in Sezar going to do? Throw In a rookie coach and a lunatic asylum running the club. Thinking that a switch is going to be magically flicked in the off season and we’re going to be anything more than a bottom 4 side means you are either delusional, and makes me ask if you smell burnt toast, or you are trolling for shits and gigs.

A pity we can’t play 17 year olds next season, Onitoni Large would probably be our best centre already based on his insane highlights package playing rugby in the centres.

Sheens fooled everyone.

But it was pretty obvious from tonight's game that a good half can make a difference. Luke Keary was creating havoc tonight.

The formula for winning in the NRL is 2-3 superstars in your backline. Chuck in a stable spine and a forward pack who other teams fear.

4 or 5 vets around a good hooker and a heap of kids is not the answer.

How does any coach think just shuffling the ball sideways with no forward movement or digging into the line is NRL standard?

Jeez I crave a team who works on fast PTBs, forwards hitting the advantage line, deep backlines, halves putting backrowers into holes or playing out the back to a fullback at speed.

Jeez I hope Benji ball is different to Sheens ball! I

Nobody gets deep and runs on the the ball, the back-rowers included.
You can only hope the inclusion of some more natural attack minded halves will help bring everyone onto the ball.

yet some on here bang on about how we’re such a well coached side
 
I was at the game and noted that we play with little or no depth in attack meaning we seem to get dominated and no roll on.

The lack of creativity in the halves is concerning as we find it difficult to apply score board pressure. I think teams are not concerned when they turn a ball over or give a penalty away as we cannot hurt them.

Are you serious?
He would be the most targeted player in the league and let half a dozen tries in every week.
With ball in hand, they’d snap him like a twig.
 
I have not watched many Tigets games this year predominantly to save my sanity and the fact that I am over this club in general. I did however watch the first 40 minutes before I switched channels, only to see the usual garbage no matter whom the coach is at the time. Paper thin waif defence, slow play the balls, allowing too many metres, dumb penalties or repeat sets and offering next to nothing in attack. Seriously does anybody of sound mind possibly think anything is honestly ever going to change.

He can’t play at age 17 in any case.
Any young player gets targeted, but the exceptional ones stand up to it, he looks exceptional.
