    What if next year

    I don't think Macca in the halves is a very good idea... He is a workhorse tackler and developing as a hooker well. He isn't overly creative in attack and that's what you're trying to remedy by moving people around. Doubt he would perform as well as Wallace. Personally, I think the key is...

    Round 25 vs. Manly Discussion + Voting

    I like his defence, I like his speed out of dummy half which seems to lead to some good service. He seems to get the team rolling forward like a good dummy should. Don't know much about his kicking game but he just strikes me as a sharp dummy player and I'd much rather watch him for 10 minutes a...

    Round 23 vs. Bulldogs Discussion + Voting

    I've lost a lot of faith in Wallace lately, but there is no way you can pin that one on him... The Jackson try, halfback on a second rower 5 meters out, where is the defensive line? The Barba one was a missed tackle but that kid is a freak. If fingers are getting pointed at anyone after that...

    Norman to Fullback?

    Hahahaha.... Oh my...

    Alarm bells will be ringing now.

    Yeah I agree with this. I was happy with our attack at the start of the year with the idea that it would hopefully develop throughout. I didn't want to be a team that relied on the throw the ball around and hope style of football some other clubs do. The way our defence was getting a solid tidy...

    Alarm bells will be ringing now.

    Agreed. Petro's retirement couldn't come too soon to be honest. I love the man and have been a huge fan of his for his entire career, but I think he went one too many. I'm predicting huge things from Hala next year, if he doesn't injure himself for the 80th time...

    Alarm bells will be ringing now.

    I don't think we can really judge too many individual players at the moment. The team itself is incredibly down on form, tough run of injuries and a representative period that took its toll. On top of that, a couple of key players are in a pretty bad stink at the moment. Probably most noticeably...

    Captain Slammin'

    Yeah I agree Thaiday has been disappointing and that off field press commitments are well an truly down on the list of important qualities. Worth a mention though. He used to be great at putting on that one big play - a massive tackle or hit up at 200mph that could really change the momentum of...

    Captain Slammin'

    Thaiday handles the press well. He speaks fairly coherently. I don't think Glenn does nearly as well in that side of the captaincy - he parrots Hook too much and speaks in as many cliches as anyone. The public image is a big part of captaincy as well. Great footballer though :)

    Round 22 vs. Canberra Discussion + Voting

    I disagree. I think Wallace has been rubbish for about the last 5 games. I think are forwards would be similar. So often there were plays taking hit ups from standing starts, literally a meter or 2 behind the line of the play. Compare that to the way the entire Parra attacking line had depth...

    Round 22 vs. Canberra Discussion + Voting

    If you don't name Wallace, you don't name Gillett, Thaiday, Petro, Norman etc either. Defence and lazy forwards were as much/more to blame than Wallace. Wallace was f**king rubbish, don't get me wrong, but it takes an entire team to play that badly.

    Round 22 vs. Canberra Discussion + Voting

    Team posted. Hoffman in for Capewell. Otherwise, the same. Probably a bit too close to finals to have heads rolling unfortunately... Start docking their wages for mistakes or something. That defence last night was deplorable and the attack was equally as shit house. I want to believe its just a...

    Round 21 vs. Eels Discussion + Voting

    I'd think Lui would drop out.

    Should Wallace be dumped?

    Norman goes before Wallace. Wallace has been substantially better than him all year. Hunt is far from a miracle replacement. Have seen very, very little in his kicking game that I like. I do love his ability to get into space though.

    Round 20 vs. Titans Discussion + Voting

    I'm not. We actually looked pretty good up until our usual origin period. It's close to impossible to win games when 7 or 8 players are changing every week. It just messes up training and attacking plays and everything. Stringing a few games together with the same team will hopefully do us...

    Round 20 vs. Titans Discussion + Voting

    Some depth in the attacking line and a little bit of spark please. I was fine with the attack starting the season a little slow but it really hasn't built as I'd like...

    Round 19 vs. Warriors Discussion + Voting

    We can only dream Pete... I'm hoping (again) for a solid performance from Corey Norman from the opening stages, not just coming into the game at the 60 minute mark if we're winning... Will be key in the run home. Can't wait to see Glenn with a little room out left, he is a real finisher when...

    Parker and Thaiday

    Yeah that was one of the moments I was talking about. He certainly showed a couple but I couldn't help thinking he looked a little lost without Billy always lurking at fullback. Huge advantage for any half to be able to work with such a massively talented fullback you've played a hundred plus...

    Parker and Thaiday

    I think it was more that Cronk was extremely average save for the field goal and a couple of moments. It left Thurston doing everything on the left.

    Round 17 vs. Sharks Discussion + Voting

    He had absolutely nothing in support but he had some pretty shitty decisions. Give us our regular team back for a few weeks in a row and we shouldn't have any problems. Also, please never play Lui at lock again... Any reports on Reed or Hoffman? I'd guess Hoffman should be right, just...
