WTF are people thinking?

Cook isn't even our best hooker let alone our 2nd best available centre.

Shifting him to centre mid game is bad enough but picking him to start at centre is sheer madness.

The fog of Flanno seems to be descending on some people in this place.
Agree. Liddle starts and Cook uses his speed at the 30 min mark then Liddle comes back on for last 20 mins.
Cook at centre, or lock when Liddle comes on is just dumb.

I love Liddle coming off the bench when the game opens up

if u go back and watch the game and others this year Cookie has very sharp passing to start the game and much better than Liddles passing game

what I see from Lids is still quite clunky passing from dummy half but his other attributes are very strong in the running the ball and creating impact in the open parts of the game

I think the win win is extending minutes for Liddle in the open parts of the game ie after 20mins or so of first half is where he has his impact

Harry Grant maybe runs straight once from dummy half in the first 20mins ?

maybe the biggest question is if we don’t sign cookie for small $ 2027 to combo with Liddle who are the no9 options for us in 2027 or 2028

im feeling a meltdown for me and the forum 😂

Rob, my sarco meter is not working, so I will take your comments about Shane as being truly supportive.
?? 😉
And admit that I hope SFlan survives the board meeting on Tuesday.
Else maybe Brownie.

But agreed, it's desperate times and Reed should come in to the team.
Kyle to 14.
Bring on Tuesday!!
A huge day for our season.
The board meeting is next Tuesday not this Tuesday.
 

This Year?

How come every other club has 2nd rowers that can slot in at centre but ours can't?
I feel like there is no versatility in our squad and they are if heaven forbid they have to do something different they have no adaptability.
Everything needs to change or we simply won't be able to compete in any game.

We used to, and not that long ago. Tom Eisenhuth, Joel Thomson, Will Matthews, Jake Marketo, Jackson Ford all had a go at centre at different times, with varying degrees of success. You'd think Luc would be able to handle it, given his brother was a pretty fair centre.

Thanks wacky.
I had assumed.
🙄
I guess I wanted it (the meeting) ASAP.

But in fairness to the Club, I suppose they need several days to gather some facts and hopefully interview a few of the team and support staff.

Ot,
My post was done tongue in cheek to show how flanno could keep the staus quo with his team instead of making the changes he should.

Centre used to be a specialist position. Why does everyone want second rowers in the backline these days?

Cook is not a centre and never will be. His defence is good in the middle but out wide he has trouble laterally. H.Stuart would be better but I would rather a youngster from reserve grade.
