The big issue for me is the mixing of family in a club. It makes crunch decisions more personal. So Steve being moved on/moving self on and young Walters position in the team has potential to cause friction.
If I was in charge I would take all those issues out now by getting rid of them, Billy...
Parker cares, when Oates said he had no mates at the club he looked close to tears himself. I respect his opinion even though at times it can come across as sour grapes. We could use somebody like him but like you say the players wouldn't be able to take it.
I gave him a 2 this year because of the way we finished. I gave him a higher mark last year because we finished in a better state than when he took over. I feel a lot of the good selections ended up being forced this year, but his bad ones were on him. He didn't return players to the top squad...
Sad to see the this season of promise end this way. We went out with a whimper and only a few of the boys even tried. Lots of work to do in the off season and hopefully whatever the issue is can be fixed. Something beyond the field derailed this season, I don't know what it is but the total...
Disgraceful, obviously they are soft. If you can't take being given a rev then you don't belong on the field. The cancer is still present in this club and more surgery is required.
If Webke got called soft he would have ran at the biggest hardest person on the field every time he had the ball...
I agree he needs to be better but I just with that type of ball we should be expecting a huge running game. There has been a huge drop in our execution across the park and good ball is not going out to either fringe.
we had like 30% of possession, no centre in the history of the game is turning the game for you with that amount of ball. Staggs looks shit when the team is playing shit and every centre in the comp bar Manu is the same.
Sorry mate, half the reason we need to tackle so much stems from the service and the follow on effect it has on the play. Turpin has the worst service in the NRL, his defense is not a problem it is everything else in his game.
I said to mates 10-8 finish and I would be happy. But I am more disappointed now because I know these lads have it in them. But to be honest they likely over achieved this year and still don't know how to stay up when it counts.
It is sad really. The players just don't look like they even like each other any more. I don't know what happened but something stinks and stinks bad. The body language was 2020 levels of poor.
How Kev can't see the impact that the change our 9 rotation has had on our footy I will never know...
I thought RK was really good last year before his infection. Staph from memory, it really rocked him. From there he had to build back his size and confidence. I thought back then he was playing in a Petro style. I don't think that way now and really he doesn't do a lot for me. I don't think he...
I am not a stats man, there is more to the game and personally don't have that much against Kennedy. I see more reason to keep a guy like Palasia in the squad for the reason I outlined. I rate him more and he put in for us when we needed him and Kennedy will be moving on and offers nothing over him.
You know what baffles me the most about Kevs selections- James (retiring), Turpin (moving on), Kennedy (moving on). I know there are others but their form warrants selection. All of these guys have other players still contracted for next year who are better. So why would he be selecting these...
The big issue I have here is the recent team and this weeks team looks close to the team we had running out early on in the year when we lost 4 in a row and now our last month of footy has similar faces and we are back to a brand of footy that isn't working.
I love Kev but this thing he has...
Yeah something is off. I personally think it is to do with player changes. Walters picked the wrong time to start tinkering with the team. Edrick had a good game and has been solid for us each time and didn't deserve to be dropped like he was after a win. Gamble seems to have been forgotten and...
Sad gutless performance.
They are better than this but I think the year has gotten away from them. We are still lacking in the areas that count and the error rate has skyrocketed. The defensive resolve has also just vanished. I think a top 8 finish was beyond a lot of peoples expectations so...
Just read on Fox league that he signed a three year deal with the Panthers. Astute signing for them as he looked the goods. will fit in nicely for them i think.
Also good to see he got a contract just wish it was with us.
I have this feeling that Kev is attempting to get Turps in the shop window as he also talked up his past efforts for the club in the bad years in recent press conferences. I think Kev feels like we owe him and he hasn't got any offers due to being in cup so he may as well let Paix get right and...
