He’d have to wait for Niu to get injured to get picked at fullback for Souths.

I expect a much worse performance from them next week. They won’t be able to back that up after still losing. If we had of won that game I would have been very confident that we would win this game. We would have got a lot of confidence out of the win and we might have been able to carry it on into next week.
Because we lost I expect a very flat performance and I know what this team is like.
I really hope I’m wrong but if the last 3 years is anything to go by we come out and play like shit next week and Eels put a score on us. Eels to win by about 20 if the Broncos don’t aim up

Why did it take Kevvie 6 weeks to get stuck into the team? Should have been like that from the start IMO.

Maybe but it could be that he didn't want to come across as another Seifail. He came in, gave the boys ownership of the team, it didn't work. He gave everyone a month to prove themselves or not and now he is starting to stamp his authority.
Basically,
Step 1 - Get the fun back
Step 2 - Unify and win them over
Step 3 - Work toward being competitive
Step 4 - Start to take over more and enforce accountability
Step 5 - Start to mould your squad and demand improvement

Just because you have been thinking it for some time, doesn't make it less stupid.
Haas is a prop. Always has been, always will be.

In your opinion and we all know how often you get stuff wrong. I don't dispute Haas is a prop but so is Carrigan and TPJ, doesn't mean a prop cannot play halfback if the coach wants!

A prop playing halfback would be a stupid idea. Much like the idea of wasting Haas on an edge.

Shows you just how dumb you can be. Instead of stupidly blithering on about how terrible it would be an intelligent adult would probably support their derision with a reason. Exactly why would Haas be wasted ? Lost metres you think?

The only player I would be omitting from this game is Flegler, who is at best an ordinary liability, even as a bench prop option. I would be replacing him with Kennedy and bringing Farnworth back in for Kennar who drops straight out. Dearden was definitely the weakest part of our spine on the night but he still tried his guts out, and deserves a chance to build on his combination with Croft. It's not like Isaako was anything better than solid either and nobody is calling for his head, even after the braindead kicks on the first tackle and the field goal attempt.
I dearly hope Kev doesn't hit the panic button and brings Milford back in. Between how the side performed last night and Lodge's comments to the media, he clearly doesn't command the trust of his teammates. Kev also needs to maintain the sort of passion that he showed in the pre-game rev up. That's the sort of verbaling this team needs to cop before every game until they can prove they can deliver what they did last night consistently.

He would be wasted because he is one of the best metre eaters in the comp, which is vitally important. He is also someone who struggles laterally defensively, which often is exposed, and would be exposed even more so on an edge. Did I mention that he is an amazing metre eater, and I'd prefer he wasn't used on an edge and only getting the ball occasionally. But you're right, he has such an amazing offload. The grand total of 1 he has made so far this year was elite.
I kinda went with it being such a bad idea, it didn't need to be explained.

Given the forward pack we have and the over abundance of props, trialling him as a second rower would be interesting. It certainly isn't the worst idea by any means. In fact, it is quite an enticing idea with his motor, size and speed. Certainly far more plausible than arguing Tuprin is a top 3/5 hooker.

I can only imagine the tries and busted halves with TPJ and Haas on either edge in their 20.
