Don’t I know it, watched ressies as well. We need Olam and Naden back ASAP.

Well I was there and watched both closely. Jnr didn’t try to make a difference seems to have little awareness. Charlie at least had a real crack. Toa well he needs to be dropped with Jnr.

At the ground, it was embarrassing for the most part.

This side is a train wreck. Except for a couple of players totally out enthused. Just going through the motions most of the time!

Good defence in the first 20mins.

I was concerned about this too but lately with Cam Murray leading the way with his M.O.M. performances as a game-influential #13 hopefully Hastings can see the future in it.

I only watched the game last night and I agree with most of what you say, although there were some pretty dodgy calls that went against us around the ruck area! I also was expecting worse... not that we were great, but the Warriors played a very good game. Mostly we were out-enthused. Yes we did...

I think it's as much a Luciano problem. When at his best he plays a very up-tempo game, rip-tear-bust type footy that makes him extremely hard to contain. But that style also exposes the body to injury, and even a slight injury really takes the edge of his game. He loses that dynamic aspect to...

Std Tuesday announcement after a Monday game...

Saw Sheens at Henson Park watching the ressies last Saturday. Plenty of people were talking to him, no doubt asking similar things and he was obviously happy to talk to them.

I do get it mate. My main point is that the lip service is over, the coach has publicly taken control of the team from him.

But has it, up until now? Certainly not officially/publicly. I just think that he has been given enough opportunities, with enough halves partners, in enough different teams. I just don't think he can do it. He'll be a really capable 2nd fiddle to another half, and probably at another club.

Okay, I should have written that officially, "another player has finally been given the reins". We've been told for too long it's Brook's team when he clearly isn't up to it. In his two games Hastings looks more likely to be up to running the team so this is a public backing of him.

Well after watching the other options get points stacked against them by Newtown last weekend, I totally understand it!

Agree with this on the field but there is an off-field statement being made with this change. We're being told it's official that Hastings has finally been given the reigns instead of the usual lip service that this is Brook's team. On field, I think it's more about backing Hastings than...
