Lets be honest next week against raiders is a big L. Dont see us coming out of it with the W, netherless heres my team:
1. Doueihi (Has been Solid last 2 games)
2. Nofo ( Top try scorer but his defence is average)
3. BJ (can't defend to save his life, but attack is good)
4. Mbye (Only just makes the team he is that bad)
5. Taulau / Bradley / Thompson ( Literally anyone, if I see jennings in that squad on tuesday I will officially be a roosters fan.)
6. Benji ( had a ordinary game against titans)
7. Brooks ( finds it impossible to kick a ball through the line )
8. Aloiai ( decent forward I guess)
9. Grant (stand out for us against titans)
10. Packer (Im personally not a fan but Forwards need a leader I reckon)
11. Garner (Been pretty quiet but better then lawrence and chee kam)
12. leilua (Solid player, average in both attack and defence)
13. Twal ( our best forward, defence machine)
14. Chee Kam ( Better then Lawrence, hopefully gives us another last minute winner)
15. Mikeale ( More impact coming off the bench then starting I reckon, Maybe swap him and Aloiai cause he will be strong of the bench)
16.Musgrove ( Gives us that punch of the bench which we will need, cause as soon as aloiai and mikeale came off Clark and seyfarth gave nothing in attack.)
17. Taylor (Need a defensive forward on the bench and he's better then clark.)

No shade on walters but I think Grant needs to play the full 80.

Great comments about the team in general.

Not watching this week.

Yep i think the same however prefer to support the players that have been picked and see if they perform better??? It's shaken things up with selections.
Besides rather have some league to watch than nothing at all. :facepunch:

 

[Tigerbuck63]

You know , everyone is saying we can't make changes

But guess what ...the team we played and beat us coach drew a line in the sand , dropped two SOO players and guess what ...he got a reaction from his side

They were only playing us...

Not even that ...the half arsed version of us

Yep

Your agreeing ...what's going on ......

Glug , Glug ....drinking problem ??

A lot of broken Forum members this week ....a lot higher than normal .....a mass verbal protest to the club might be the idea ...what's Madge's email address

Well i think it worked maybe Madge was reading the comments about the team performance and how disappointing were felt as supporters.
I still can't believe that the media are hyping on why Benji was dropped his general lack of defense in missing tackles close to the line cost him plus his goal kicking.
It also sends a clear message to the rest of the team that no one is exempt now for not putting in 110% for 80 minutes and i think its a great call.
If the team want to play with Benji they need to all perform, and brooks might also now start getting nervous.

How do we know this wasn't planned ....

Giving footy to blokes to keep them match fit and match ready

Yup we can't believe anything

The earth could be flat and jennings could be the next Korobeite

What .....

You don't want players like Musgrove ,Reynolds etc sitting not getting any football

You lose all your timing etc .....you can't get to match conditions no matter how hard you train

Yea True

well if we dont perform this week, does that mean we see a influx of my Reserve graders come into the side to get some match fitness?

e.g. ET, Huth, MCqueen

Bellemy said exactly the same thing..plays Brenko Lee some other nuff nuff debuted at 27..out this week..

Reckon you are onto something..changes were warranted of course..Jennings went Clark went...Marshall I'm not so sure it was because of form line..more a 35 yo getting trampled by the Raiders would have been no good..give Reynolds game time he needs..Garner under a cloud still might come back in

The bench is certainly better balanced against a team like the Raiders..

Yes , you may see a fringe first grader brought in ...or the players replaced come back

Do you want to get 3 injuries in the forwards in Rd 11 and have to bring guys who haven't played since 2019 ....

There was no way Benji was going to play 18 rounds straight ...form or no form

If you had a clue you would understand that your body starts fatiguing badly after about 9-11 rds of footy ...and that when serious injuries can occur

And the game has just got 20 % quicker ...adding more fatigue

 

[JC99]

I definitely think squad rotation plays some part in it but the main reason is definitely because of the poor performance. Madge is putting the players on notice plus giving some guys a match win win really.

Keen to see bk against his old club hopefully he rises to the occasion

Madge needed to put his foot down and make a statement and as you said Jennings had to be replaced ... with what happened to Josh perfect timing for him to take his anger out on something useful ......Musgrove will be foaming at the mouth hopefully to get a permanent position in the 17

I'm calling calculated changes myself .....plus the impact from our forwards from the 20th to the 40 minute had to change

Some things I saw from Benji ...maybe he is wishing he hadn't gone around 1 more year ... the way he stood off when they scored the 1st try ....even if he had stood in front of the Titans player they probably don't score

Be keen too, whoever bk is.

Ben Kennedy's clone we created 23 years ago ....

or BJ Leilua

Choice is yours Russ

 

[finnzo]

Yeah sorry haha bj

 

[JC99]

BJ is either gonna have a crazy good game to stick it to Ricky Stuart or it all goes to his head and he starts getting angry and making dumb decisions like he did against Newcastle. That’s Joey for you though 😂

Mate I just fell off my chair
You agree with Happy
It just goes to show
Anything is possible
ANYTHING

Well Ricky and the boys will know how to get under his skin
And they will know his weaknesses better than anyone else

It has me very worried. Hopefully we can finally just give him some early footy in attacking position.

We’ve not used Leilua the right way at all so far, Benji is too concerned about doing trick plays down that edge sometimes I think. Just let Joey run! So far he’s only been used as battering ram inside our own 20
