1 VS 15 doesn't seem like a fair fight though.
1?.... Ummm... There was more than that 5 weeks ago.... And are you really insinuating that the people sticking up for seibold and what he is trying to do somehow instigated all this?
We simply responded to about 2 months of relentless BS from a few people who based a 5 year coaching decision on about 2 losses before they started go insane with their week after week, continuous posting about the same crap...

See, this was the problem. Criticizing Seibold is not sticking up for Bennett. Unless Bennett's name was raised during the conversation, it was always about Seibold. A lot of people have become irrational in regard to Bennett, Seibold, Boyd, McCullough etc. this season but the Bennett lovers have mostly dropped it, the Boyd haters have chilled, the McCullough haters have taken a break (Except one of them), the Seibold haters have jumped on the bandwagon, but the Bennett haters are still out in force.

I never said it was. It is different. But, it's still mostly the same people doing the Bennett loving/seibold hating.
Wait a second though.... I didn't see you coming on here being sick of the seibold criticism for months on end, yet 2 weeks of Bennett being criticised like seibold was and the anti-Bennett people have gone on too long and taken it too far? Additionally, If you did a word count of seibold negative words compared to Bennett negative words I'm sure you'd find the seibold haters have been far more vocal

Oh you must be new here. 2 weeks of Bennett hating? I wish. Do your word count, I'd love to see the results.

With Roberts gone and Bird injured do you guys really see Shibasaki as the guy to rely on for the rest of the season? He’s a solid backup but not particularly exciting. Any chance of Fifita moving out to the centres for this season and Sua coming onto the bench? If Fifita could handle the lateral movement at speed in defence he would certainly be a handful in attack.

If Coates continues his current trajectory, he might well be thrown in early. Siebs has already shown he isn't afraid to back the promising youth this squad has. This kid reminds me a lot of Inglis without being an Inglis clone like Mitchell.

I haven’t watched him yet but he’s getting big wraps that’s for sure.

eh, it's not like we haven't got anyone. Perese, Farnsworth are going ok in Q Cup. Could be called upon if necessary. Everyone starts somewhere.

I honestly wouldn't have a lot of trust in Perese in the centers tbh. I think On the wing he would be fine.

it wouldn't be ideal, it's just not end of the world. you could always do the shuffle and have Boyd defend at centre but attack in FB, just shuffle around near the end of the set.

again, not ideal, but i think it's better than playing someone out of position like fifita. yeah he's fast but how agile is he? need to agile to play in the centres otherwise they'll just run around you.

I'm pretty sure Shibasaki is a left centre. I could be wrong on that one.

I would like to see how he goes on his preferred side.

Does Katoni normally play on the right then? As if he doesn't i think it would be counter productive to move both as Katoni seems the more potent.

If that is true it would seem an odd decision to play him on the right given Staggs is a naturally right sided player currently playing in left centre

That's interesting, I wonder which side Kotoni prefers. Playing on your preferred side can truly make a difference and it's a shame Bird only got such a short time in his preferred spot on the right before he went down; he really was looking the goods with that shift.

This whole time when people were saying Coates I legit thought y'all were just combining Corey Oates as one word...
Yes, got me too! Can you promise to never ever write or say 'y'all' again? Thanks, appreciate it and the rest of Australia appreciates it too, I feel sure.
