I could tell within the first 5 minutes of the game that we were in trouble our middles where just letting the panthers roll forward with offloads and quick play the balls which had our outside backs just back peddling and we weren’t working hard from the inside it was a super lazy performance...
I guess that’s the issue isn’t it, there really isn’t a stand out replacement but Kelma isn’t going to improve unless Seibs takes action I’d drop him to bench and take a punt of either Samuela Fainu or Condon who played most of his NRL games with the cowboys in the second row.. not ideal but...
Poor really poor is the only way to describe that effort poor in defence and only 56 running metres in 69 minutes on the field has to be dropped to the bench for next week
Not sure he has the build to play centres, I think he is mainly on the bench for spine cover (FB, 5/8, Half, Hooker). Cooper Johns didn't offer much on the weekend I was hoping Seibold would have dragged him and given Weekes a go in the halfs
Interesting to see in the training photos - Harradyn Wilson a half back from Souths Logan Magpies played 13 games this year in the Q-Cup, could be a handy prospect hopefully he develops nicely playing Flegg and NSW Cup next year
Not sure why everyone is complaining, Johns might not be a big name signing but he has played 11 NRL games in my eyes that beats the dud Ron Massey Cup signings we have made in the past for our Cup Side. I'd rather Johns then some journey man half that has played at every club across the state...
John Morris as coach wouldn't be a bad option he guided the Sharks to the finals in both his years as coach and did it on a budget due to salary cap restrictions.
Hard to adjust to playing second row he bulked up a bit for that role, so I have faith in him give him a full pre season at 5/8 and give him a couple rounds into next year before we can fully judge him in his preferred position, his two games there this year we won 44 - 12 (Warriors) 30 - 4...
Realistic targets from that list, Herman Ese’ese would give us a little bit of impact from the bench, and Matt Doorey might be worth a punt, he is friends with Schuster and co still young and promising coming off an ACL though
The definition of “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.”
I'd like to see something different, I'd like to see us go down swinging by trying something outside of the box. Weekes to fullback Koula or Parker to the wing, Schuster back to 2nd row if Davey...
Such a waste cut ties now, any promising first graders that have to play in that side it is not good for their development. Look at the sharks tonight Miller stepping up plus Ikuvalu Blacktown is hurting us compared to other clubs players making the transition to first grade
