We all know there'll be none after jagging a win, but this is what I'd like to see moving forward.

Immediate changes:

BHU -> FRO (f**k right off)
Sifa -> bench (40+ minutes of game time)
Gabrael -> left centre

Next Cab Off The Rank:

Herb -> go find BHU
JC -> start
Max / Felix -> bench

Lift Your f**king Game Or Else:

Trindall -> Puru and Pollard are waiting
Katoa and Ramien -> Vea'ila is snapping at your heels

There's others, but, based on who's available, that'll do for a start.

Yes to BHU and Kaufusi. Hazleton seems to give us a better impact and less mistakes off the bench than BHU. JC has been very good and rudolf much improved recently as well.

Fully fit, Id run with a bench of Puru, Hazleton/Rudolf, JC and Talakai. Kaufusi still probably starts just because there’s nobody else.

In a perfect world I’d like to see Kennedy gone before Trindall. Sadly we don’t have Ison or Dykes available right now because I am absolutely sick of WK. I’m over his lacklustre impact as a last ditch defender and often poor positioning. I’m hoping he doesn’t get re-signed but I think there’s a chance he will

Dykes is going. It's probably very safe to say WK is staying. They are NOT going to put all the eggs in the Ison basket.

Puru, JC and Talakai is pretty much 3 lock/middles. Not enough POD.

The first change I'd like to see?

In the coach's box.
Reminds me of Fantasia where Mickey Mouse runs riot as the scorcerers apprentice, and creates a shitshow whilst the boss is away.

See I dont think any of those stooges is really a first grade coach. Nuck nuck nuck.

It's concerning they were handed the keys to a top 4 outfit and the club has slid out of the 8 on their watch.
It's concerning they identified Sifa as a bloke worthy of 10 mins a contest before injury gave him a start.
It's concerning they put so much stock in a bloke with very limited ability on the bench as the 14, who has actually signed to leave the club.
It's concerning they had invested so heavily in a quarterback who has never played the position before. He plays so short of the line I couldn't call him a halfback. His previous coach knew where to play him to get the most juice of this lemon and it was nowhere near running the team.
It's concerning they cannot identify, nor correct this shitshow that is our halves pairing but continue to defend it - even as we slide down the table.
It's concerning a bloke like Billy Burns made his debut and did everything asked of him and more yet was dropped only for the limited-skilled, walking-out-the-door Atko to sit on the bench each week. If Burns made his debut for any of the top 4 teams and went as well as he did he would been retained in the 17. Same goes for the bottom 4 teams. And the 4 in the middle.
It's concerning on their watch that every player bar maybe Sifa and KL is having their worst season and has been on the slide since mid last year.
It's concerning that no matter how poor we play, how half hearted players turn up, how many defeats, nobody is put on notice. Nobody.

I reckon Hannay and Price are clueless.
Gal, Jimmy and ennis coached the side when Price was there in 2016.
Hannay meh.
Fitz is a nice guy. Players could love him.
Or maybe they dont. Whatever...they dont play for him. Well the hooker does. Maybe thats why he gets the same gong each year at awards night.
But I dont think he's the right guy for the club.
Or maybe the club is not the right fit for him.
He earned raves for his work at Rorters...whatever it was he did. But I couldn't think of two more different clubs than us and them.
I rate what Benji Marshall is doing higher, with his roster, yet I see benji under the pump every week on 360.

Yes some of the coaching box decisions don’t add up. Time for a clean out.No one supports BB, AFB walks into the defence like he did when he was at the Warriors. I’m not seeing enough of Burns,Calhoun and Sifa.
But lastly McInnes , please retire him now I cannot stand seeing him being rag dolled anymore.

Gabrael needs match fitness. From a good source they scoped him out last week with the view to look at bringing him up and was gassed after 60 in cup. Not ready just yet.

Uele yeah f**k. Sad to watch. Not the same guy from a few years ago. He had a stinker on Friday.
