Brooks should never of been selected you have a fit Reynolds to play in the halves ! This real stinks and not in a good way ... protected? This guy has done NOTHING over the last few months to gain selection just to be a passenger . TBH lost all respect for the coach ...being bullied by the player group and cowering down no extension for mind he is also done at this club after this week !

Brooks kicked a field goal a few weeks ago
Gives him 10 weeks immunity 😂

If we are being honest neither has Reynolds or Walters or Marshall. None of the halves have done anything amazing but then again our forwards are constantly being bashed by the opposition so its hard to build pressure from halfway every set.

Probably gets another 145 games off that field goal ?

Well disappointing but not unexpected because we have little depth in the side. Madge is all hot air with selections.
At least the hard call to not renew Benji was made.

Talau - Dropped Kepaoa lets hope he has a better game this time?
Mybe/Doueihi - swapped although AD should have been dropped as well based upon last performance?
Marshall/Brooks - Swap lets see who demands the ball and if Benji still crabs across field?
Aloiai - Non starter with child due now we know why a late change last week, Congratulations. (Club communication poor)
Mybe still captain this week and plays another position, call him Mr Versatility.

Players 1 - 0 Madge
All talk nil action should have given Madden a run.
Who leaked the internal chatter should have been dropped?
At least the club has made a statement stating that Benji won't be around next season although old news.

Karma might come back to bite one of the sides he is looking to play for is Manly, another shocker with wayward defense might seal his fate.

We have not won at Brookvale since 2003.

Garbage. I was sitting on the hill at Brookvale with my son in 2018 and watched the Tigers win 32-12

Here’s who missed out:

**Blore:** Not match fit
**Bradley:** Seems very average
**MCK:** We know exactly what he adds, very little
**Cini:** not rated by many on here
**Clark:** Off contract and a plodder
**Hoffman:** Not in our top 30 until 2022
**Jennings:** Major plodder and off contract
**McQueen** Plodder and off contract
**Seyfarth** Off contract and average
**Simpkin** deserves a run
**Dylan Smith** off contract and looks average
**Jock Madden** Deserves a run
**Talau** Has been down on form, played plenty this season

Really not many options for Madge when you look at it. People wouldn’t be happy if we played Seyfarth, Clark and McQueen over forwards who are actually contracted for next season?

Simpkin and Madden the only two who really deserve a shot

I find this post to be delusional, at best. You offer your own opinions with some sort of air of confidence that you know something? Who are you to judge who is "average" or "not match fit"?

And, why would anything anyone on here posts have any bearing at all on the selecton of players??? "Not rated by many on here". "People wouldn't be happy if ...."

You're joking, surely ?!?!? As if any of that matters one iota.

Who am I to judge? I’m a fan who watches every game. Never once have I said I’m right and everyone else is wrong, everything I say on here is purely my opinion.

Clearly nothing I say has any bearing on team selections but I’m pointing out that in my opinion, majority of the guys who aren’t played aren’t really worth playing in response to other fans OPNIONS who are saying the team should be different.

Sorry, completely forgot the no disguised swearing rule, sometimes hard to abide to.
*Original post edited*
I have a feeling Harry is still in our future plans until the storm announce what is happening with Cameron Smith. If an announcement of him moving on or retiring happened prior to today I’d say Simpkin may of been named in the 21.
If there’s a chance to keep Harry, giving him no game time with four games to go would certainly backfire on us.

The halves is the main problem in this side.


They’re literally just swapping numbers ?

Nah nah this time Brooks has been told its HIS side ? ? ?

Brooks shadow got in the way of him leading the team.

 

[izotope]

someone mentioned the frenzy on the team lists good time.

Would've like douehi at 5/8. Can't see him being a centre tbh but hope im wrong.
Maybe this is the team based out of the "honest discussion"

I hope we see Madden some stage this year, but understand not throwing him to the wolves as well

 

[tony soprano]

No Simpkin and madden. Disappointing.

 

[tony soprano]

Why hint them and not play them

Just enough to get him past Robbie's appearance record, then retire him as one of our greats.

No Simpkin and madden. Disappointing.

I was hoping Madden too...

Either he doesn't want to bring in a young half in a losing team to shatter his confidence moving forward

or

The fact the club advised Benji is not wanted next year he and wants to give him the last 4 rounds to say goodbye to the fans..

Need to settle the media a little I suppose

 

[Harvey]

Bradley and Cini both become fully fledged NRL players next year. I would have like to have seen one of them get a run.

 

[tony soprano]

Wow Aloiai press conference!!

Admitted the team is far away from being an aggressive hard working team that he wants.


Has to be captain with nofo

I expect them in if they loose this week

Its his opinion.

The only player he said wasnt match fit was Blore. Did you actually watch the game last week? Blore was sucking in seagulls after 5 mins.
