Feeling my age but I totally get what gramps was talking about when he went on with the “in my day spiel” of having to walk barefoot 50km to school and back uphill both ways while it was both snowing and 50 degrees Celsius.

I’m more than willing to give Maguire a mulligan for this season but what does concern me is that seems unwilling to drop dudes that need dropping.
Now I’m aware of the injuries obviously and so I’m willing to give him a mulligan on guys like Gosiewski because forward depth has scraped the bottom of the barrel.
But what I’m not ok with is Paix, Bunt and Reynolds getting picked again and again despite having replacements available.
Reynolds still has skill but his legs are unreliable, you cannot pick a guy who will break by stepping slightly out of a straight run.
You could easily say you are managing Bunt too if you don’t want to drop him outright.
You can’t carry three busted blokes in your spine. Hopefully Mozer keeps getting time when Reynolds and Mam return but I doubt it.

Making meters doesnt automatically mean you are the best forward. Its an easy stat to pad out.

Thats true, but there are still games to be played. If by some miracle we win 90% of our remaining games its still a failure of a season, but statistically, it will look a bit better.

It's not a Madge Vs Kevie thing. It's more of a mistakes I think Madge has made, or failed to correct.
We have the worst forward pack depth at the minute. We get monstered in the middle, which means our backs make more mistakes. It means we're less likely to run support plays, because playing with any momentumn is rare.
