McQueen was rested…concerns over Lawrence backing up...
The rest nah not so much...don't think we will see many unforced changes..

Accountability is what our coach has said will happen. Won’t be and shouldn’t be 6 but maybe 1 or 2 and Packer Liddle back from injury. There are some glaring issues with a couple of players, all I ask is for Ivan to act on these issues. If not we may aswell have Taylor back as coach.
The only change I would make is Sue out. He really is plodder material. One good hit up every three weeks is not good figures.
I'd tell everyone to take a deep breath and get the playmakers, both Brooks & Marshall to cool their jets and stop the fancy shite.
Hard work and persistence got us started. Its a simple game. Run hard and tackle hard.
With those coming back from injury, we should be going decent again.
Ivan Cleary hasnt forgotten to be a top class coach in the last month!!

Our roster was always going to struggle when the grind kicked in. I keep saying we seriously lack speed,skill and punch. I doubt there will be a lot more wins this year, but on a positive note, games like last night in the past we would have lost by 40\. If Cleary can get three or four quality signings for 2019 we will have a very good side but at present they are plodders playing with some ticker
So another re-building ..re-engineering.. watershed ..build a foundation ..always next year year…sweeeeet...

Sadly yes
Very hard to drop players who in the first six rounds played out of their skins to get us in a position that no one saw coming -:after one poor performance. It is the only game that we have played where we were beaten convincingly - and with 43% possession and 12 men for twenty minutes it could have been worse. Add to that- injuries have made forced changes to the squad almost every week as it is
Its a long season Cleary has to try and get the best from this squad and weilding the axe after a game when the whole team was ordinary is not the answer. They need to be given enough opportunity to get back to what they were doing in the first rounds and if they dont - no doubt he will make changes.
Our squad has lots of weaknesses and they have been exposed in the last few weeks. The miracle player to turn things around does not exist in the reserves and Im pretty sure if he did Cleary would have already picked him.

Relax.
Remember being in the Ashfield Hotel around semi time in 05 and a couple of ole Wests and WT die hards said to me this is a good platform for next year. Remember saying we should take it now luckily we did.

Accountability doesn't have to mean dropping players, especially when no other better options are available

Sorry mate…this outfit is not even close to the 2005 outfit and they will not get close to the eight. In 2005 we had a great spine,Hogo,Benji,Prince and Farah, this year we have Thomo,Benji Brooks and a different no 9 most weeks. They are a team of honest workers, or as others would say Plodders. They are well coached,show plenty of ticker and have a dig, but they have no pace,little skill and lack a power game.
Iam not bashing them as they have exceeded my expectations already as I thought they were morals for the spoon, but come September they will be closer to the bottom than the eight..
It’s not all doom and gloom, but they will need to recruit some class for a change rather than heading to the mark down shelve. The Robbie Rochow type signing has to be a thing of the past.
Anyway enough of my rant but I think for 2018 they will compete hard for the rest of the season,but win very few

Agree this is no 05 outfit. But think we make 8\. By the way back in may 05 nobody thought much of our spine. It was only in July yhat year when we smashed Cronulla at endeavour that I put 1k at 20 to 1\. Could've sworn on GF day benji had ice skates on when he set up Pat. Anyway back to the present reckin the addition of Packer Lolohea and Reynolds and Liddell will make a difference. Atm I would play MCK in the back row in place of Rochow and Lolohea when availableat FB with Thompson and Fanau on the wing .
Its time to go back to basics as i think we have brought into the media and think we are better than we actually are…
We really need a hooker that can make metres from dummy half and draw penalties.. Liddle is the best at this for us.
I also agree on signing some players to get to 29/30... Surely we have the money to pick up an aggressive player somewhere.

No I think we are this good evidenced by opposition coaches saying it was good to win against us.
As for hooker personality wise don't want him but there is a guy going cheap that fits your pre requistes who has a point to prove. Was playing for Norths at Henson on TV on Saturday.

Yes GEO,we have heard this many times,but for me this year is one of the most promising years since 05 to build and develope a squad with an outstanding coach who cares about the team and club…..if we hadnt had these woeful injuries to his main players I think we would be in a far better position...
Packer,Reynolds,MWZ,Tui and Liddle are very capable players and yet we havent had a huge blowout score this season while they have been sidelined....
