The fainus have never been loyal to Benji. It was Fulton who got them here.

Who would you want to see walk? I think Bula is on stupid overs. Luai also but he is already on his way out. There's a few others I'd like out of the joint but none others I think on massive overs (I think Averillo will prove to be also but don't want to write him off before he gets here). A...

All of your FACTS are opinions. I'm not necessarily advocating for sack Benji. I think only those inside the club would know if that is the right option. But will players leave if he goes? Can we get anyone else worthwhile? We don't know. I personally don't think any players would walk out if...

Is getting pumped in NRL actually better for their development? I would think sure give them one or two games so they are aware of the step up in speed of play but besides that keep them in reserve grade to hopefully experience a winning side and enjoy their footy.

In 05 I gave us every chance of making finals. Sure, I didn't expect they would win the whole thing but I was very confident of a good showing.

I want to say no I wouldn't follow them, at least during that time frame. But each year for the past 5 (at least) years I've given us no chance of making the finals before the season has started. Yet I still follow the team throughout the season. So I guess I would.

He is. He also wasn't up to it at 18.

I think his leaders put him in that position as much as the coach. Api giving away the penalty. Luai zero communication. That does not absolve Makasini but the leaders did not do their job.

After some searching I believe Roberts is probably out for the season. It was a broken foot which should be healed by now but apparently there is about 3 months of rehab after the 6 weeks for the bone to heal.

Again, I can't see how you give the 7 a pass And call is clueless inside the 20

3 Toa. Defended strongly and plenty of carries. 2 Skelton. Took the hard carries (as he always does). Chased kicks all game (though not sure who thought he was the right choice for a kick target). 1. Sukkar. Couldn't really find a 3rd option, pushed up for a try and didn't do much wrong.

Wasn't much of a chase from standing 40m behind the play*. If he (and all the others) pushed up and presented a line then there would have been no space for Young to run around them. *Agree he wouldn't need to be standing in the backfield if he was playing 60 instead of 80.

I believe so as he hasn't been named in any grade for a while but can't find any info on the injury type, duration or when it happened.

Anyone know whats going on with Ethan Roberts

He's had some good moments but hard to call our halfback our best when the attack has looked absolutely clueless.

I read somewhere (here maybe?) that Toa's left arm is healed but he hasn't yet got the strength back to where it should be (due to not being diligent with his rehab). I wonder if left wing is to protect the left arm from being exposed?

He left Souths about this time last year to work through his mental health concerns. Hard to move the dial when you haven't played for over a year.

His work rate in terms of runs and tackles were statistically the equal of Graham. Graham adds all the extra work of line speed, pressuring kickers and kick chase at all times. Schuster didn't get off the line or pressure kickers but his kick chase was always decent.

I'm not even sure it's a work ethic issue. Ball playing at lock and on an edge are completely different and just because you can do one does not mean you can do the other. Not saying he doesn't have it in him but we have never seen it whereas on edge he 6 or backrow he has shown his raw talent...

Yep. Keith Titmuss. Schuster was very close with him, also the Fainus (mostly Manase though).
