Nahhh thats just sport today.

Man, that looks great!-- If only.

Can't argue with that, and the coaching has yet to be rated. FB is still up in the air with Laurie, Stains and eventually Bula. I still think Stains could do well, but many don't. The fact they chased Moses so hard shows they doubt the halves can do the job. Good ones are as rare as undoctered...

Thanks Paws, some don't realise that Canterbury bought big last year, and had little improvement, They had a far better side then ours. They are continuing to upgrade, as are we. We bought 5 players and probably needed 10. We can't discard players with contracts , that takes time. Then some say...

So simple, and only to be expected. The club bought 5 new players, and tried for 6. They have to control the cap space and money. Class players by the way. This is the coaching staffs first year, and we are yet to play a game. 1st gde has obviously been the priority at this stage,and the rest...

I'm 50/50 , he's built like a brick shithouse, and tough. Klem, Papi and Api might just re energise him. As an ex SOO forward and a proud man, i think he could surprise.

We have yet to trot out our first grade side. The coaches are new,, and had limited time, also 5 new players to blend into the side. It will be a tough year, with better players to lift our game, but people thinking we will be in the 8, or even close are dreaming. I believe this will be a big...

Depending on future performance, but i think Stains will be on the wing, Laurie at fullback. If one of the halves goes down, Laurie to half and Stains to fullback. Maybe Tupou, or Reilley on bench to cover the backline. Just a guess.

Jedi, the captain does little in the game, take a kick or not? Argue with the ref call. Many can do this, but the main job is to inspire his team, and to kick arse when needed, you don't have to play 80 minutes. Wingers play 80 minutes, but are to remote from the play to influence the game. Klem...

Api, is a leader, and was always going to be the player to lead the side aroud, no matter who the captain is. The hooker today plays like another half, most plays originate from the hooker,and he has the respect to chastise his forwards and halves if they slacken off. A good choice.

We are thread bare from 1 to7 , we need and hope the whole lot step up, or we will feel more pain this year.

Agree but far faster then Hastings, AD, and Cleary is no speedster. But to me ,unless you are exeptional, speed is a priority in the halves.

I don't know if Stains is the answer, but he has yet to play for us . That trial does not give us an answer either way. Reports are he is not vocal enough, but that could change. Laurie tried hard, but did not look like a promising star, but the reports are that he has improved and will be first...

Mate 9 out of 10 would have been steamrolled. He did not lack courage. Look at some of the pea hearted attempts at defence from last years fullbacks. LOL.

This coaching and recruitment has only been together for a few months. Many of the players were signed by the previous crew. Sheens major concern would be the top side, for which he has done a great job. The glaring lack of talent in the cup side, will be remedied in time with some promising...

Well it looks like the baggers are out in force with a new target-- Stains,. He had limited chances in a side that was flogged . Most rated him in the top 3 or 4 players. Now we have silly stats, he has no speed, he has a weird face and other unfounded rubbish. In a backline that will rely on...

After the next trial, i'm sure of one thing, most of the current opinions, will change. The first trial was no indication of ability, too many nervous kids, and no direction.

What you say makes sense, the problem is the nsw coach and selectors don.t have any. We lost games that were unlosable.

Hodgson was a risky signing, past his best and now going through the injury phase that happens in a big career.

At the start of last year i tipped him to play SOO, that's what i thought of him, he just missed out. Flat foot Freddie couldn't pick his nose.
