Have to change for the remainder of the season!! Even if that means putting either Grant or Liddell in the halves.
Madge give Benji the last game of the year, hell even put rowdy in the 6 and bring Robbie out of retirement and put him at 1. We are such a train wreck of a club but I think Robbie could beat his lebonese counterpart in a foot race. And catch a bomb too.
I really don’t care that Madden hasn’t played all year, it’s got to be better than what’s been put on the table the last 4-6?weeks.Put Nofoaluma at 1 hell even Jennings would be better than black boots Talau.
 
1 Dylan Smith
6 Doueihi
7 Brooks
9 Grant/Liddle

We can't play Madden at 7, the players around him cannot look after him in defence. They cannot do their own jobs
 
blood Madden. put Reynolds next to him for a bit of confidence and see how he goes. we've got nothing to lose.

The saddest reality is that without some Benji brilliance (and we all know that can’t be relied upon each week), we had no creativity in attack.

YEP

And thats what people seem to forget in the emotion of a loss....as much as its a kick in the balls, without Benji, we have no one that even attempts to create opportunities...zip.

Thats scary when you think about it, the fact that next year we as a "professionally" run sports organisation do not have a single first grade playmaker at the club.
 
Get a halves coach and better middle forwards.

No point shifting deck chairs. There is a reason why all 4 halves we’ve tried have looked terrible.
 
We now have to look forward and play who McGuire thinks is going to be in that position next season. If Benji doesn’t come out this week and say he’s retiring I’ll eat my sweaty old hat.
I’d probably go
1 Mbye
6 Doueie
7 Madden
9 Liddle
Probably wouldn’t have Moses at 1 but no real other option and he is our c
 
What does it matter, the season is over. You think a couple of games chopping and changing is going to make a difference about what happens in March next year?

Yes, I see the need for a season-hardened forward or two, to lead the way with our young pack. A Josh Maguire-type who has a bit of mongrel about him but is consistent and reliable. It's not Packer, that's for sure. So, while our spine is in need of a re-furb, so are the forwards.

We need to find at least a half, fullback, prop and a couple of outside backs.

Possibly. At least if we can't attract a suitable replacement for Marshall, Madden doesn't have to endure a long drawn out build up of stress. Let him in with no pressure on the result to gain some experience and traction with his probable halves partner

I don’t think we are going to be looking for a replacement for Marshall. I think he’s almost Winx odds to go around again.

I'd lose faith in the coach if that was the case.

I think a lot of the blame for Benji goes on Cleary. He brought him back to the club, which to his credit, he was good the first year back. But then he re-signed him AFTER he packed it in and decided to walk out on his contract. Another reason you can blame him is because of the length and inflation of Reynolds contract. Madge doesn’t rate him, yet can’t offload him. So he’s going to want cover for Reynolds till Reynolds is gone. When Reynolds goes, Benji goes.
 
Really, what does it matter if Benji plays on. We’re struggling either way in 2021. The key is what we do with Packer and Reynolds money to set us up in 2022. We’re treading water till then.
 
Halves are our major issue. Doueihi is solid at the back and still improving, obviously if we could sign a better fullback and move Doueihi to 6 I’m down but definitely need to fix our halves up
