Some of that reads like a horror story.
 
I’m convinced that Macca has a sex tape of P.White in a gay (not that there’s anything wrong with being gay, when you’re not married with kids) club toilet.

Two issues with mass changes Seibold trains 13 on 13 so guys aren't playing ISC, they get kept back for training so guys are not playing consistently in ISC.

Turpin 2/4 games (Development and can't play anyway)
Kennar 2/4
Paix 2/4 (Development can't play anyway)
Farnsworth 2/4 (Development can't play anyway)
Mago 4/4
Dargan 2/4 and been injured.
O'Sullivan 2/4 and been injured.
Tagatese 3/4
Carrigan 3/4
Perese 2/4
Fai 4/4
Shibasaki 2/4
Bullmore 4/4 (Development can't play anyway)
Boyd 3/4 (Development can't play anyway)

That's before you look at form and nothing in there has shown ready for NRL.

Have to get out of this with the 17 from last night plus Haas.

I will say Carrigan is the only one putting any pressure on, he started the season slowly and his minutes were down but last week his minutes were back up and his runs were with purpose and thought which was his strength last year.

He's one guy that would benefit greatly from just playing every week, he got in a good groove last season in the ISC and by the end of the year was up to 80 minutes.

I think there has to be a shake up of sorts. Seibold needs to send a message out that rubbish like last
Night won't be tolerated. We still have enough players to do this but there will be a few gambles involved.

Carrigan should start though!
 
TPJ looking at 2-3 weeks for the Cronk hit. NRL loves to kick us with suspensions. Got to protect the poster boy Cronk

Look I'm ok with him being suspended, it wasn't a great look.

Having said that, i'm not too upset with him - again, at least he's trying. I would rather players try too hard and do stupid things and learn from it than lack effort and heart.

What pisses me off is that he hits anyone else its grade 1 max

Really? That's ridiculous. Penalty is sufficient. In real time it's borderline ok, only a split second late. I would compare it to JWH's on milf last year. What did he end up getting?

The commentators did their best to crucify him last night though. Johns, Thurston, Sterling (3 halves)

Totally agree.

If we are going to say you can’t do what TPJ did, well we best outlaw the dummy too.

It’s not as though TPJ took 3 (or more) steps to get to Cronk, he took one. He cannot stop on a dime and if he doesn’t make contact, Cronk dummies and runs past him and TPJ gets lambasted for different reasons.

I’m all for protecting players from foul play.

But equally I do think if you’re going to run to the line, turn your back at the last second so the defence can not see if you do or don’t pass, then I believe the defence, in what is literally a split second decision, should be allowed to tackle you as they would if you held the ball.

I think we need to remember this happened in less than a second. If TPJ takes more than 1 step to get to Cronk, that’s a different story. But that’s not what happened here, so I think it’s a gross overreaction.
 
Great. Absolutely been smashed by the MRC this season and it’s only round 4. One eyed one sided pricks
 
If we lose this, it's officially time to start panicking.

I feel he could have easily pulled out of the tackle but I also agree the commentators made a bigger deal out of it than it was.

This exemplifies my attitude toward Isaako. I wouldn't mind the mistakes is he was in making lots of runs and running hard, making metres and tiring out the opposition forwards. Right now we get the mistakes with the hard work and hard running.
 
He deserves 2 weeks, might be best to have some time off. Haas will need to step up but.
8. lodge
10. Flegler
11. Fifita
12. Gillo
13. Offa
14. Shiba
15. Glenn
16. hass
17. Mago / carrigan

Maybe Fifita to center and staggs to bench for a stint at nine.

I think he has been given first shot. I actually don't think he is playing badly either, but he isn't the halfback we need.

He's not playing badly but his long kicking game looks pretty poor still

Milf is kicking better but he doesn't look natural with it... his torp bombs rarely come off the boot well and he's not always getting those early 3rd tackle kicks into the in goal, which is key.

We need that natural long kicker next to Milf.
