The players pay zero attention to these things as should the fans. The fans should take a leaf out of the players book and not give a damn but they never do, they always get emotional ''how dare they not rate us :rant ''
At the end of the day a season isn't based on what the Media think, its what the players do. Focus on that

Bratih is rubbish there is not one person who is not a tigers fan that isnt laughing at us right now signing him. Where stuck with him sadly it was a Sheens signing, Id rather have Siro at Lock, we don't need Bratih from things I have heard he's a selfish kind of player and well look at last years stats he never runs the ball!

The havles were not the reason we were bad last year. the storm did pretty well with a fullback playing at 5/8 the bulldogs did pretty well with their halfback out and there 2nd halfback out halfway through the year.
it was our mental attitude soft defence and lack of size in the forwards

Thats where you are wrong ck, Moltzen remained halfback for the next 3 games I think with Humble at fullback. Because moltzen failed dismally we were sheensified by Moving marshall to 7\. Ayshford to 6\. that failed then we moved Lawrence to 6\. Fail again.. Lets try FULTON my all time favourite which obviously failed.
Im not saying this was the be all and end all for us but it certainly was a major contributing factor and he seen it prior to the season starting. I think he deserves credit for that alone.

If we stay injury free there is no way we will finish last. More likely top 6.
We play best under the radar.
Bring it on.

I think he will be a good thing for us, but we wont know until we get under way. Tomorrow nights trial might give us an idea. I think we will absolutely trounce Parra at campbelltown
However, Im going to be more concerned about how many tries our first grade line up lets in… That will be interesting.

You must have a poor memory - the only reason Moltzen was moved to fullback was because Humble couldn't handle it back there.
Considering he had trained at half the entire off season you would have thought Sheens might have put Meaney there , or even Ryan , rather than disrupt the halves.
However , as we all know, after round 3 saw a revolving door in the halves that I hope doesn't happen this year.

That's not the way I saw it. Tim Moltzen had a shocker for a bout 3 to 4 games in the halves where he did nothing, Humble was going well at fullback IMO, not great, but no where near as bad as Moltzen was going in the 7.
dont think Moltzen was moved to fullback because of Humbles poor performance.

Miller should have been put at halfback and given a go, Sheens was puzzleing with the way he brings in rookies
this is a guy who was going to put McDonnell on the wing for the grand final if Richards was out, this was also a guy who gave Lui a debut game in a must win game against Parra in 09, he also put in BMM for his debut in the semi against roosters and BMM made our first eror which turned the game.
I could never understand Sheens logic he seems he would throw a rookie into a big game and go all season not giving them a run.

Correct Miller should have been given a decent go.
Im very suspicious about the selections of the team last year. I dont think Sheens was the only one to blame. I think a few players (benji) had their input into team selections, and that might explain why Moltzen was never dropped despite his woeful performances.
@cktiger said:
That's not true: there was uncertainty in the halves because no-one knew whether Moltzen would be able to play there. Moltzen didn't move to full back until a few weeks into the season (ie well after Tedesco's injury), and it only happened at all because he was useless at half back. In fact the only impact Tedesco's injury had on the half situation was giving Moltzen somewhere else to play when he got booted out of the 7 shirt for being rubbish. I still occasionally have a bitter chuckle when I recall the two or three occasions on which Moltzen took the fifth tackle kick, and inevitably dinked one 20 metres downfield straight into the arms of the onrushing full back.

If Moltzen was such a success at halfback thats where he would have stayed regardless of Tedesco

One thing that was painfully apparent when Moltzen did play halfback were several things:
1\. No organising game
2\. No running game
3\. No passing game
Which is = predictable and non-threatening, which in turn = more pressure on Robbie and Benji. Anyway, looking forward to seeing the improvements Moltzen has made in his game at fullback, and whether he's good enough to keep Tedesco out this season.
Funny thing is , Willow , is that he had all those things his whole career playing half.
He only got three games last year behind a pack that was going backwards.
They bought Miller in for the 4th game and he failed behind a badly beaten pack as well.
It doesn't matter who plays half this year - if our pack doesn't stand up they're on a hiding to nothing.
I am really hoping Potter puts some starch into the forwards so the backs can do their stuff.

Scott who?
So many things wrong with this guy's arguments.
- We have the worst 25 in the comp? Has he not seen the Penrith squad?! We have the NZ Captain, the 2012 NSW Origin player of the series, arguably two of the brightest youngest backs in the game with Tedesco and Koro, arguably the best young forward in the game with Woods, and throw in some experience and class like Anasta and Lawrence and I truly believe we have one of the best balanced teams in the NRL.
- Doesn't recognise Potter's achievements as player or coach
- Moltzen will be our game breaker? Had form towards the end of 2012? PUH-LEASE
- Praises Miller's game then calls him average?
- Thinks Marshall would be a good fullback? He's obviously never paid attention to his defensive problems
- Doesn't know why we recruited Anasta but says we have inexperience in the halves. THAT'S WHY. We need his leadership and direction, he's a great recruit. Says the Roosters failed to turn him into a lock, but they made the GF with him in the backrow.
- Yes Ben Murdoch is on the way up, but IMO he is best used as an impact player off the bench. If he bothered to actually watch the way he plays he'd know this.
- Pettybourne came from the Roosters apparently
- No excitement in our squad apart from Benji and Farah, yet has a wet dream over Koro early in the piece.
He could not sound like any more of a bumbling fool if he tried
