Ok Madge could come up with new ideas and some creativity but with the players we have I don't think there is a magic fix.
We have a shite and deteriorating squad.
We are a shambles.
At my work today some guys said to me geez Souths were so so so so bad!!!!
Sometime next week it might be an idea to try and get onto your mate.
We need to sweep the broom through.......
Shadow I have a question for you.......
Why oh hey did we re-sign Kyle Turner???? He's so ordinary and a NSW Cup player. He continues to deteriorate.
George: He is deteriorating more. Doesn't put his body on the line. Slaps at tackles and can't catch.
Tom: Same as George
Sam: Our best as you know.
Burns: He is trash. Can't catch bombs and gets ragdolled.
Cherrington: Struggles to keep up with the pace of first grade and is made of glass.
Clark: Gets pushed back and can't make metres. Not big enough.
Cook: Needs more game time. He's quality. If we do not give him match time he will want to leave.
Crichton: He is a gun and could be as good as Sam was when Sam was in his peak.
Deitz: He is so ordinary. Doesn't cut it.
Farah: Doesn't have the speed to get us on the front foot. He is solid for us but is becoming a has been now Shadow. What is he now??? 34 I think.
Fuimaono: He has a bright future. He's a second rower and not a centre. He already is a lot better than Turner.
Goodwin: You know I really like him. But he's coming to the end and his body is struggling and keeps getting injuries.
So out of those 12 guys the only ones that'll cut it next season are Sam, Cook, Crichton, Fuimaono. So that's 4 out of 12.
I know you really like George and Tom but sorry Shadow they are becoming big liabilities.
Gosiewski: Not a first grader.
Gray: Very injury prone and wants lots of money. Bye bye Gray.
Greinke: Not a first grader.
Hunt: Nothing special but solid for us. I guess we have to keep him.
GI: He is well past his best. Who knows if he will stay or go to QLD with his family???
Jennings: A turnstile, can't defend. Not a first grader.
AJ: A very good winger with pace. We have to try and keep him but not offer more than 400-450k max.
Kelly: Not a first grader.
Moceidreke: Not a first grader.
Murray: Has potential but he's young. Could play off the bench next season.
Musgrove: Has potential but he's young. A bench player.
Nielsen: Not a first grader.
Hunt, GI, AJ, Musgrove, Murray they'd be able to play first grade in 2018.
That's 5 out of 12 so that's 9 out of 24 so far including a few young ones that we can't expect magic from just yet.
