It was last year till injuries & poor team selections in the early part of the year .. Last years squad was great on paper .. We were fkd as early as rd 5 because of the above reasons..

I'm not saying I rate myself or this forum at all. I'm just one who has learned not to accept the obvious. Question everything is my motto. You may be right...but then you may be wrong. Same with myself. If I'm wrong then I'm wrong, but I'm not wrong for questioning.
As for the club not giving a **** about what we think, I doubt that is completely accurate. If they didnt why did they bother to say how good Parcell is. Why did they seek to refute the claims that he was being shopped around. And they've responded in such a manner a few times in the past. Why bother if they dont care. It impacts on some level, but its not a question of not caring, its a question of degree of interest in what the supporters are saying.

Man , all I want to do is tuck you in to bed and wish you a good nights sleep. We all support this team , and it gets very frustrating watching their decline...hopefully we come back
Valid points and can add disrupted pre-season with DCE operation and loss of new starters Taupau and Brown to International duties, loss of usual first grade pre-season opponents to WCC, followed by a draw with short turnarounds reducing review and combination building time. A perfect storm for a rookie coach.
Facts, not excuses, but also a guide for what needs to be done this time round:
We need a couple of decent trial matches (it's OK to lose them as is our wont, but not by 40), and to stand up to the NRL on the draw. It's our turn to get decent turnarounds, more family friendly game scheduling, as well as more free to air telecasts to shore up sponsor support. They may not like us, but seriously, we are MWSE Rugby League Club, not the AFL!
And back on topic, really glad we keep Parcell. His enthusiasm reminds me of Buhrer's, and don't we need enthusiasm like Buhrer's.

Now let me dissect the comments you've made here Wombat. Hmmmm. You either think I see the world too glowingly, or you've got the hots for me. Gosh Wombat, I didnt know you felt that way. Throw me a kiss and I'm yours...all 66 years 140kgs, 1.9 mts with bad breath and sweaty arm pits of me. Ah love. Aint it grand.

If Api practises his passing 6 hours a day over the offseason he might turn out to be a good hooker
I think I might have picked up the (or a) flaw in Api's delivery from dummy half.
Watching a few games on replay shows that he has this habit of picking the ball up at its points and that is how he throws the ball. Its like he's rushing it after looking around to see who he is going to pass it to. By holding the ball like that it gives him less control on where the pass is going to go, as we saw far too many times in 2016. When he picks up the ball with his hands closer to the middle of it his passes are usually just fine.
He needs to learn to grab the ball with his hands more to the middle of the ball all the time rather than grabbing it at the ends. Do that and his delivery from dummy half would probably improve a LOT.
Might go a long way to showing who is really in charge.....which if true is a pity because I think TB does have the makings of a good coach if he could be given a proper go.

Bugger all. Just a brief snippet in the "Blindside" section on the inside back page of the "Daily" listing the three rumours: Sironen, Licha and Parcell, with "the club" apparently saying "no, no and no".
You are like happy Joe happy @Mark from Brisbane compared to some if the grinches and conspiracy theorists on here

you have got to remember that they have all the time in the world to make up their mind and prep to where the ball is being passed whilst it just sits stationary in the ruck whilst some fat guys have a lie down and rest

Haaaaa I know mate and I've since discovered its some dood called the fly half that throws those balls and not their hooker generally. (Silly me) I guess my real observation was just generally the union boys pass better than our guys so it's obviously just a technique thing they focus in more then NRL. Most seem to throw lovely spirals left and right while our blokes are still passing like they did in the 80s lol most of em

Looks like I'll need to have a word with my young bloke Mark, I wouldn't have minded seeing young Sironen in Manly colours though
now it seems you will .... so much for the Mainly Daily setting things right ... so much bulls**t flying around I think I'll just wait and see who runs out in Rd 1 2017
