Madge said no one back next week at this stage and possible ACL for Walters

Bad news re Walters.

Strangely He didn’t even look upset about the performance. Weird press conference.

Doubt he wants to air the dirty laundry out in public again like last week.

People tend to develop interesting imaginations and start to claim certain things based on assumptions

Last week his was absolutely filthy. He wasn’t tonight, and we were worse. Why would that be?

There maybe external factors involved, ie what has happened in Beirut effected players, not a lot that could be done about that. No point going off your nut about things you have no control over.

Look they are just weak.....why would what happened in Beirut only have affected our team... I'm sure that players from the opposition team would have felt the same way, but they won the match by 40 points ....not good enough:angry:
 
feel sorry for AD it doesnt change teh guy is not a fullback he is a centre or 6 or maybe just put him on the wing

Why would you put him on the wing 🤦
 
no Gnr4life you dont know.... i have nofo in the team ... world hates a smarty

Where’s the mysterious fullback to replace Douihei? He’s the best fullback at the club. Was the best player for Souths in an finals game last year in Canberra at fullback. He hasn’t been bad just not a match winner at fullback.

I believe he could be a star at 5/8 his passing game is excellent and he can kick. Also a bigger body defensively with another offseason of weight training.

For now there are zero options at fullback we have Benji, Reynolds to cover 5/8. Leilua, Talau to cover centre. Madge can only deal with the cards he was dealt.

but who have we got to pick, there is no young talent to pick unfortunately, if lawrence or benji get another contract for next year im out

For sure. No more over the hill players strangling our cap space.
 
AD should be tried at 6 for this year and beyond and manufacture a fb for the rest of the year and buy alex jognston for next year dont knowni f its Nofo or Talau etc this year but somebody should have a crack
 
Playstation Team VS Dogs (With boosted attributes of course because our team looks like a bunch of slugs)

1 - **Mbye** (Dude looks slow and stiff compared to his early days playing FB for doggies. Needs a few days in the sauna to drop some kegs and get his speed back)

2 - **Nofo** (Makes as many metres sideways as he does forward. Tough to do and takes some skill)

3 - **Kepaoa** (Played mostly right side coming through the ranks and looks to have footwork and power. But mainly to get him away from having to catch bombs on that left side)

4 - **Doohey the Doobster** (Should not be last line of defence. Could be a revelation here and has nimble feet along with good strength)

5 - **Bradley** (Never seen him play but he's tall and that's gotta help right!... It also keeps with our trend of debuting everybody on the wing. Consistency is key)

6 - **Tommy** (Played his junior footy here. Would make sense to play him in a familiar position. He may also make his first line-break of the season)

7 - **Grub** (The man reeks of energy & enthusiasm. Added benefit of him actually communicating with fellow teammates through speaking rather than sign language)

8 - **Russ** (Just give him the ball. Should be first hit up of most sets. Can lay a platform and scraps like a gutter rat)

9 - **Liddle** (Makes me nervous thinking about his first run post rehab. Dude deserves some luck but will need a couple spells. Maybe 40 min in total)

10 - **Twal** (Won't provide much impact from the bench so he needs to start. Solid defensively but needs more anger when running the ball. Get those forearms up and start crushing some larynxes JWH style)

11 - **Blore** (Left side is his mojo. Best attribute is his hole running apparently. Get some depth in attack and let the Thor loose)

12 - **Lucy** (Plays like a gutter rat and would be more effective on right side given I've benchied his bro. First man picked)

13 - **Huth** (Same deal as Twal. No impact from bench so he has to start. Somebody please tell him that he's the biggest man on the field each week and he is allowed to punish defenders when hitting it up. Needs to get those larynx crushers up and offload the damn ball)

14 - **Garlic Sauce** (Dude looks like he's already played 80 min before he steps on the field each week. Less social media and more agro please. Can provide good impact from the bench)

15 - **Mikaele** (There should be at least 1 defender struggling on the ground after each of his hit-ups. Absolute unit but needs to hurt more when in possession. Get some offloads into ya)

16 - **Garner** (The dudes a game breaker if used correctly. Spell the Huth and give him a license to roam from edge to edge. Can hit a hole so get some depth and let the man work)

17 - **Simpkin** (Lids will need a spell and there's simply no other option whilst Grant is out. Might be early but his development has stalled with no lower grades)

Honorable Mentions

18 - **Joey L** (Dude looks fat and slow. Someone call KFC and tell em to refuse him service if he shows up. Needs lots of sauna sessions along with a plant based diet)

19 - **McIntyre** (Great potential and has worked hard to get where he is now. Needs to develop his game and become a ball playing 13. Can become that Cameron Murray type to link the halves with the outside backs)

Bradley isn't eligible to play FG until after round 16. I don't think Simpkin can play FG this year at all.

Covid changed laws development players can play grade now
 
Does anyone recall a captain (of any team) being dropped for poor form? I can't think of one.

I reckon if Mbye is dropped (I don't think he will be) the media will start (undeservedly) going after Madge.

When Benji was dropped some clueless media commentators just couldn't believe it. If he drops Mbye too, who really deserves it, they'll carry on that he's lost the plot.

I Think Doueihi should get a shot in the 6 or 7
Try Brooks at fullback
I know he is small but that never stopped Hodgson or Bowen
Brooks is actually bigger
You see players move from fullback to the halves
Why not halves to a fullback
 
Maguire said he didn’t expect any players back for the Dogs game. Unsure what that means for Twal and Liddle. Thinking we might just see Reynolds in for Walters

Last week he said he could’ve played Liddle this week and the injury report says he’s eligible for round 14. I think he’ll play, Twal might be out again though which sucks. Hopefully Benji gets dropped
