On our NSW Cup Semi Final win if you haven't seen the off load from Villiame Kikau which led to Christian Crighton's try do yourself a favour and have a look. Wasn't allowed to off load when playing in our NRL side but this is what this guy can do!!!!!

He also had a knock on trying to offload as well.

Needs to pick and choose his timing.

There's no doubting that but given our inability to create scoring opportunities inside our opponents 20 metre zone it is clear we need to offer something different. We need some x factor off the bench.

We had some X Factor off then bench on Friday night.

He was lazy for most of his time out there, then he put RCG through a gap for a try, and then he tried to chip and chase for himself.

Seems to me like we already have someone who needs to pick and choose their moments.

Hard to blame Carty for the chip when our halves offered absolutely nothing

I don't disagree. Carty never should have been expected to make the play - I think Cleary got caught with the ball on the 5th again.

For me, Friday's game was probably the best evidence for the 'Bryce Cartwright is not a 5/8' argument. Especially coming off the game before against Manly. He is so much more effective in the middle of the park. He got stuck on the left edge against Brisbane and saw no ball.

Bullshit.

Tyrone May was carving up out there. I mean yeah. Not creating tries or linebreaks or anything. But thats not what matters at 6.

It was the most complete performance a 6 has ever put in.

The chip was a woeful play IMO. He has played enough in the halves to know that was the wrong play.

If we haven't improved next year Gus time is up. How long does it take to rebuild? We are stuck on a treadmill of mediocrity right now. 6 years he has been here now, he has done his good work and rebuilt our juniors, let him go.

If he has resigned Griffin already then he is running the club like he owns it not like he works for the fans. And constantly lying to fans is not a way to build up trust and loyalty, quite the opposite in fact.

Any player causes a bit of trouble he just gets rid of them and brings in the next great prospect which sounds great in theory but in reality isn't going to make us a good team. How many local stars do we have to watch go on to succuss at other clubs? Meanwhile we are still building 6 years in......

Ok, what about Todd Carney? Would Gus be considering the Todd?

Positives - When he's playing well he rips teams apart. He would be cheap. A better option than Cartwright.

Negatives - He's Todd Carney! - Fragile (More injuries than his best mate Dugan)
Loves a drink.

No. Gus would never do it and for good reason. There's a reason he is always 'injured'. He's 30 and probably been a heavy drinker for half his life, he's done, and a huge risk besides that.

Green is a good organiser and kicker. Would take pressure off Cleary. Want Moylan to stay though.
