I’m not sure I’d be putting Averillo at FB but when you say “lost the fullback spot for QLD cup”… because he’s on the bench for the NRL side, not because he isn’t good enough. Bula needs to improve next year to keep his spot. On current for he’d struggle to make the top 12 fullbacks list. I’m...

Pretty sure by the Christmas we could get Madge back too.

If you’ve seen some of our players tackle…. plenty.

We desperately need Bula to put on a few kg and become a tackle break threat. I understand he’s been playing injured but even before that he has never been a tackle buster. He becomes infinitely more dangerous if he can start beating players 1 on 1 but at the moment he is purely a finisher and...

The last part doesn’t make any sense though. If that were the case why hasn’t he been dropped back to cup at the Dogs? Instead he’s played every game while they’ve rotated half the club through as his halves partner. That doesn’t sound like they’re undoing our mess. I’m sure I don’t need to...

He went from Parra outcast to NRL in the space of a few years with us. He has now played more NRL games for the Dogs than he did for us. I don’t know how you could possibly claim our development hurt him in any way, although I do agree with some of your other points.

Inserting the word fact after a sentence doesn’t actually make that sentence factual. I get the frustration and disappointment, but that’s no chance.

Of course we are… we develop them till they’re ready to go to a decent team.

Well I guess that will all come out and we’ll see at that stage if it changes things, but I can’t cop what Doueihi has done. For me 2 non negotiables in any team are do as your coach says and never let your teammates down. He’s done both. I said at the time Benji should never have been...

You’re missing the point. It’s not an issue about selection. I understand that in your opinion Luai should be dropped, but I don’t agree and that’s fine, I don’t need to change your opinion. It is my opinion that any player who wants to dictate team selections to the coach should no longer be...

Do we know for sure that Benji isn’t doing exactly what you say and moving on? Maybe he has seen enough of Adam at 7 to know he’s not the future, I know that’s how I feel. One thing we sure as hell can’t have is players dictating to the coach who get picked and who doesn’t or what positions...

I don’t agree with AD being selected at lock. Personally I’d have selected him in the centers and not pick Herbert but at the end of the day the coach makes the call. If the results don’t go our way he will pay the price. The only person we have evidence of doing anything disrespectful is Adam...

OK well since Jerome is the problem can you just remind me how we went when he didn’t play against the team coming last? There is clearly a problem and both halves have contributed in some way, but only one is refusing to do as the coach asks which is the first rule of any team sport.

The best team we can field this week has both AD and Luai in it. The only person that’s stopping that from happening is Adam because he’s too self centred.

Because he’s a bog average halfback. You could die of old age waiting for him to pass the ball. He only would have got a look in for NSW as a utility, which he apparently doesn’t want to be so he wouldn’t have played anyway. This is dead set Glen Morrison/ Ben Teo level and I honestly can’t...
