Throw in a pickled pearYep Pele from Sharks and Pere from Cowboys both would be good signings. Then we could have a bench next year of:
Pole, Pele, Pere.

Yeah I did that with the first wife. This one is way too good for me so she can watch what she likes and I’ll get comfortably numb.Reality TV is banned in our house.
If our forwards can't punch through the line then we need to promote the ball and chew the metres with 2nd phase play, yet our 2nd phase is nonexistentThe issue yesterday was the poor execution of the game plan as opposed the forwards not doing their job. They were in position two wide but rarely got the ball. This was a halves problem yesterday more than anything. I'm not saying our forwards are great but I'm pretty sure the game plan was to attack the edges with mobile forwards - not four hitups with the outside backs followed by a shot at the edge and a kick. When they got it right they made yards - they just didn't get much of it right.
Agreed and I expect this is what Noddy asked for based on the location of the forwards on the paddock in attack. It certainly isn't what he got. Noffa and Ken were so predictable with the hitups that the markers and A defenders had a field day. Once we stop tripping over ourselves or running behind our decoys in attack we might get a little better.
What I didn't see from our halves was any attempt to go to the line and cut the forwards out to get our centres at the committed defence.
Good plan - shit execution me thinks!
Listen to the Hot Action Cop versionWT really need 30 players who play with heart and soul each and every week, play to their full potential and have pride in the jersey.

Spot on, our 2 wingers are not even in the top 5 positions we need to fix firstThe funniest thing is I’ve seen people on here bag Ken, but he’s consistently our best and at worst top 3 metre makers and every carry he takes, he makes post contact metres, if we didn’t have metre eater wingers we’d be lucky to make our 30m line.
I think it’s a bit harsh on the halves to execute a plan when there’s no continuity in the team, pretty sure combinations went something like the following:The issue yesterday was the poor execution of the game plan as opposed the forwards not doing their job.

Probably was Luciano but he was also CFO - chief fast-food officerListening to Benji I heard him say every team has a CEO,
that's a Chief Energy Officer.
Who's ours.
Hastings maybe voice wise but I wouldn't call him a Jack in the Box.
Do we need one? Someone who is hyperactive to rev the boys up and lead us with his action.
Our spine will continue to look substandard all year while the real problems continues to fester.I think it’s a bit harsh on the halves to execute a plan when there’s no continuity in the team, pretty sure combinations went something like the following:

When we had them all on the park at the same time attack looked really disjointed. I don’t know any team that would chop around their playmakers so much in a game like we do.
Players need to know their role and that’s especially important in the halves, that’s why the Storm have been so successful, give players a simple role to play and have them execute that within the game plan.
You're right, chopping the hooker and halves in and out provides no continuity. Having said that none of the combinations executed the plan well. It was the team that couldn't execute the plan but a lot of it comes down the the halves as they were responsible for getting the ball to the right players at the right time.I think it’s a bit harsh on the halves to execute a plan when there’s no continuity in the team,
Don’t disagree with that but I do feel for the halves when they had no consistency throughout the match.Our spine will continue to look substandard all year while the real problems continues to fester.
Yep. Can’t be good for our highest paid player, whose confidence is absolutely shot from years of being the whipping boy amidst so many cock ups.Don’t disagree with that but I do feel for the halves when they had no consistency throughout the match.
Agree with your assessment but reading your previous posts (you probably know better than I do) but throughout a match playmakers get a “feel” for the game and how it’s playing out.You're right, chopping the hooker and halves in and out provides no continuity.

Forwards were running two wide but didn't get the ball from the halves
Outside backs were taking 4 hitups because the halves didn't get the ball from the ruck
There was a game plan but we didn't execute it well. Hard to change it all up mid season. We have no depth so for the rest of the year we can do nothing but give them time to work on it.
100%, he’s part of the problem but not the whole cause.Yep. Can’t be good for our highest paid player, whose confidence is absolutely shot from years of being the whipping boy amidst so many cock ups.
You need one with the other. A flat running forward pack won’t make space for any offloads or if they do manage to offload at the line the speed of play will ensure the forwards don’t get too far up the field.If our forwards can't punch through the line then we need to promote the ball and chew the metres with 2nd phase play, yet our 2nd phase is nonexistent
Too right.We need to pick a halves combination for a game and let them play out the match.
Agree & even the early stretch to the edge on a compressed defence. It stops them compressing the middle & opens up meters inside.I like to see our first 2-3 hits ups from forwards 2-3 wide of the ruck, left then right. We have to make our hit ups less predictable.
By taking the hit ups wider, it forces them to run faster and harder.
We did this a couple of time yesterday and made ground easily, then they stopped and were easy pickings often being tackled by the markers.
