It appears he’s out, no matter whether he plays well or not. That’s the message, loud and clear.

Souths aren't a team that attacks with kics

No, they prefer sweeping back to the left and Johnstons wing, but we've got Douhei and LL on our right side to handle that. Now fellas hold your line, no rushing up, man for man marking. Got it , then do it !!
 
I know Stef is capable of a lot more than his lazy efforts the last few weeks, but honestly what kind of message is Benji sending selecting him after these constant lazy efforts.

It must be so frustrating being dropped due to a few errors, but then you see someone like Stef constantly selected week in and out even though he is barely contributing to the team.
 
I hear the comments for changes but for me this is the best form of accountability.

In regards to some comments above…

Naden needs to have no hope of playing first grade. We need him to go elsewhere. No mixed signals, tick!

Stef comment above is how I see it too. Don’t give him an excuse to sulk. He owns his terrible effort and contribution.

Klemmer and Bateman will be reading that the press are turning on them. Don’t let them hide or they will just take their pay cheques all next year too.

I struggle to understand Latu as said by many above. Give him cup time. It’s so risky running a utility that can’t play the whole game at a pinch. It does show how much they rate him. He must be showing a lot at training.

Bateman or Sezer to be our now traditional sin binned player?

I say Sezer, he’s been a tad lucky in a couple of recent games. I’m just wondering if he’s going to start or are last minute changes possible ?
Bateman no longer has the passion to fire up, imo he’s just going through the motions to seasons end.
And plus he’s captain this week.

There must be late changes planned. It's the only reason I can think of Doeuihi & Faataape still in the centres, Stef & Klemmer still starting and one of our better players last week Porter dropped to the extended squad.

Interesting that Api is still in the 22. Surely Latu gets more minutes in NSW Cup to get his rhythm & fitness back.

Also interesting that Bud & To'a not even in the 22 after being 2 of our 3 best players in Cup last week.

Thanks for the reminder who is showing form and who has not.
A mystery how so many disasters are still there?
 
How about a please explain ? Seems Papalii and Tupou are available but not picked ?
We have a height problem with our short wingers trying to outleap Tall ones
Would have thought Junior Tupou could help here !
If NSW CUP performance helps you get promoted then the 2 standouts were Sullivan and Starford Toa who are overlooked
Who is the better center Faataape or Toa
Third issue is Latu Fainu back in 1st grade ? What has he done to earn this ?
This is simply a question as maybe some have witnessed a dazzling performance ?
Fill me in here!

Benji is sucking up to him big time I reckon. 💋

Bud couldn't even get a look in on the extended bench
after serving up 3 try assists last week that's hectic



I think this is him throwing the gauntlet down and
tasking them with a challenge before he cuts guys

That’s the problem Kaito, if you are not selecting teams based on form, what is it based on ?

Wow, that bench is god awful.

Some of Benji’s selections are head scratchers to say the least.

Don’t understand Benjis obsession with Faatape. Bloke can’t tackle or pass. Anyone know why Feledy is so far down the pecking order? Wouldn’t hurt to run him.

Fainu needs more time in cup, hope he dosnt get injured again.

Is ice still not available. It says he’s available.

Can’t have both Klemmer and Stef starting. Too slow around the ruck. Pole to prop and Matamuaor Twal or even Bateman at lock.

Don’t rate Sione, is so weak in contact in defence.

It’s scary how poor our roster is especially when talking depth. We have barely anyone unavailable and the side looks horrible.

These are my opinions S.
Tupou and Ice leaving so have dropped right down the pecking order. I have no issue with that.
Sullivan being forced out as well, whilst Toa usually soft and Faataape obviously favoured.
I think they want to get Latu in to see if he’s got the potential everyone says he has. Hope he’s not underdone and does anymore hamstring damage.
