Don't start the Curtis Sironen at 7 again You can't be a tall half back It is either against natural selection or criminal law

On Sheens past efforts young Sironen will get one ..1 ! game ..and unless he is spectacular will go straight back. ..I could waffle about this for an hour because of Sheens previous efforts…remember he tries Benji at half a few years ago BUT had to change bacause it just did not work. But he hated having to say he was wrong..and even after they took him out of half Royce Simmons said ..he will always be a half...thats why he cant coach.

Struggling to see where Sirro will fit into the NSW Cup squad. Bench maybe. The halves are playing well

He has only come back from injury. Is State Cup a wise move at this stage?
We were so lucky to beat Titans.
We desperately need a General to direct the play. Benji is one of the World's best when it comes to running the ball, but he shouldn't be catching and passing one off the ruck or kicking. Even the commentors on radio and fox are saying Tigers are the worst team in the comp for last tackle options. We are so unorganised. I know Benji is trying his best with his kicking game as well, but wouldn't it be great to have a real half back to take that extra responsilibity of directing the first few hit ups, leaving Benji to weave his magic? Benji hardly runs the ball to the line himself or shown his incredible step off both feet. His talent is being completely wasted!!!
Lawrence is not a play maker IMO. He is a fantastic runner of the ball and also solid defensive centre. Might even do extremely well at fullback, but not at number 6 or 7\. We desperately need a specialist half back to actively pass, kick and actually run to the line - no one else is doing this!
The subject heading is 100% correct - Our kingdom for a half back.

I thought Humble was comming along well at 1/2 and couldnt see anything he has done warrenting being dropped to the bench. If Sheens wanted to try new combinations surely he could have brought in Miller or someone else rather than upseting the entire back line. I get the feeling there may be more to this than we are hearing about, maybe an injury or something of that nature.

Totally Agree. Even an SG or NYC team start with a recognized 7.
Bar Benji or Robbie I'd sell just about everyone to get a class halfback. Once Lote, Heighno and Ellis leave we will have some good coin for a quality half.
If Sheens wants to deflect criticism he could do so by finding a half. We haven't had one since Prince - 5 years ago! WE NEED A HALFBACK IMMEDIATELY!!

Oh, but we've bought another FIVE EIGHTH!! Thats okay though, our thoroughbred champion will be a pacer for the other nags! He should be set free to run riot in wide open spaces where mere mortals get to clutch at empty space. Sheens is so far past it it's not funny.
