on 2026 form? Not so sure.

He's had what, 2 good games all year? There comes a time for hard calls. Lots of coaches have dropped big names when they are playing like shit. Particularly the legends, like Wayne.

Stripped the captaincy and dropped King Wally. Dropped Kevvie. Dropped Sailor. Dropped Boyd.

Langer quit mid-season to go to super league - many still believe that Wayne had a hand in that because he was going shithouse for us.

I didn’t think Boyd got dropped, rode the wave all the way to baby gender reveal then retirement.

Oh so now we're limiting results to one particular coach? So no longer "there is not a single coach in the game" - but now a single coach? Talk about changing the goal posts.

Sure, they lost 8 games. But watching those games, it wasn't Munster solely to blame for their woes, the whole team was playing like shit and they were chopping and changing players regularly, particularly in the middle and on the edges.

ARey has been dogshit for months with the odd good game. He's frequently hobbling and struggling to get through games. His kicking was back to a good standard early in the year but went off a cliff again. We basically have to permanently hold a bench spot free to bring in a half to cover for him as he's either been injured in and struggled on, or come off injured in half the games he's played this year.

Compare that to a 32 year old Munster who played like shit for two months at the start of the year and has started to find some form as the year progressed. Hasn't had the injury woes. Still has several good years left and went on to captain QLD.

Adam's gotten worse, not better.

NAS isn't Munster, but he sure as shit got dropped by Bellyache for not performing and was on probably the same or more than what ARey's on this year.

Hasler dropped FiFi, one of the highest paid players in the NRL.

and also:

"Bellamy, widely rated as one of the best coaches in history"

Who is the master coach? Who again? Bennett. He's the master coach. I went straight to the top for my example.

Bellamy dropped Slater too. Bennett dropped Lazo to reserve grade in 94 Plenty of examples of stars being dropped.

One Souths forward made it from the 84 Grand Final to the 85 Grand Final because Bennett decided they weren't going to get it done for him- five gone in 12 months.

Bennett dropped Ben Hunt in 17 after two straight loses. Didn't Mam get dropped this year for Duffy.

Reyno looked seriously lost last night... and why wouldn't he... Reece was playing his position and role in the team so he had no idea what he was meant to be doing out there.

Problem is that Reyno hasn’t played like a quality half for most of the season so Walsh has no choice but to do his job too!

Next week have Bhunt and Mam as halves as Walsh can kick long if needed.
