We need a new wing option, as Ferguson needs to be demoted. He is no good for team morale and hasn't been performing. So I have put Perata in, but I'm not sure how he is performing as I don't get to see much NSW Cup.

I think Covell is too slow for the wing, but perhaps we could see Covell in the centre, and Pomeroy on the wing (with the pair swapping for high kicks).

I think Gordon moving to the right side to see a bit more ball would be a good move. Collis is more likely to look for a pass to the outside man, and Gordon's speed could be extremely useful.

I think that is the best team we can field, and I honestly don't mind it, covell would gotten over the line a few time last night, he just knows how to even when he shouldn't!

What makes you say Sticky will scapegoat Fergo?

[Inferno]

Sure about that? You have Aiton both starting and on the bench.

Aiton is good but can he play the same game twice??

I don't know, but I bet he would have been able to read good enough you see Glenmoreshark apologise and edit in the next post.

Why would you put him in then?
Players like him wont get a run anyway. Costs the club money and there are other top 25's available.

I got to excited about pointing out someones mistake i didnt even scroll down... haha well done

 

[millersnose]

What makes you say Sticky will scapegoat Fergo?

1. it wouldnt be a ricky squad if he didnt shaft somebody on the team

there is a ricky tradition to shuffle the side around every 10 minutes after losses - cant have combos developing

2. ricky always has a scapegoat

3. apparently (and i didnt see it or hear it) rickies post match interview contained a 'fergos comments affected us' element

3. after sacking players who signed elsewhere last year he has set a precedent

 

[Inferno]

Fair point Millers, but if he's clause is based on Sticky's exit, I don't know if Sticky will have the club's best interests at heart. In addition to that, he does have the excuse of not having Gal, Baz and Snowy.

For those that watched the game, did Smith have another Barry Crocker? If someone had to go, I think his head should be first on the chopping block.

Even though it may have, Ricky never said anything of the like, it was more like, I haven't read the article so i dunno anything! Dougie was the same.

Thats the side i would have.

 

[++ Gregos v.4]

I think Tautai has been excellent for us in the second row.

He didn't have a barry but I thought he was quiet. Porter made more errors and was found out a bit at 1st grade level but he was having a go. I expected to see more of smith given he should be considered the senior halves partner.

 

[Dragon Slayer]

Smith & Porter are useless get them out of the team.

Ferguson has dumped on us and is leaving so f**k him off.

Our strength at the Club is our hookers so lets get all three in the squad.

Time to blood a young player or two because our hunt for a finals birth is finished.

Vave as a good player he will be badly needs some minutes and should spend some time in N.S.W Cup.

This is the team I would have a go with.

[Inferno]

A loss against the knights I think would 100% end our season. I think it will be much the same team, with hopefully some experimenting in games following it.

 

[Inferno]

Only re-jigging I'd do with the backline is Cov in and Fergo out.
