Do we consider Maitua for 25th Spot?

Westie, next time you go and watch some footy, pin your testicles back so that you are able to see whats going on.

Te'o was a lazy piece of sh*t. Harrison was played out of position. He was never going to get to play where he wanted with us, I didn't want him to go, but if he wanted to go somewhere with his career, after such a great start, then he was going to have to leave. Same for Flanagan.

As for O'Hara, we had no other props in the team who had played origin. At the end of the day, if your form is good enough for long enough you'll play first grade.

Moreso when there's a massive lack of props at the club the whole time he was here.

Yet he failed to be a regular in the top grade.

Wank over him as much as you want, at the end of the day, he wasn't good enough to make our top side, with the lack of props we had the whole time he was here, players played out of position ahead of O'Hara being called up to fill in in the front row to cover a lack of depth there.

O'Hara was crap. O'Hara is crap. O'Hara will continue to be crap.

Just because he'll be playing in SuperLeague, and most likely carve up, doesn't really mean much at all, given the huge gap in quality of play and players in the english comp compared to here.

Like Eddie Iam on record to be in the anti Sheens fan club, a foundation member along with MOTH but Iam with him all the way with Teo,Harrison and Ohara.

To make the play offs you need players who play well week in and out. Not a blinder one week and than three crap games. Teo and Harrison both fell into that catagory. Ohara for what ever reason never made the grade.

We need Sheens to go through the place like a doggy vindaloo and move a lot players on who are in their comfort zone and dont like extending themself.

17 super competive average 1st graders will beat 17 unmotivated super stars everyday, canberra are your perfect example. Sheens can take some blame but at the end of the day the players are the ones who get paid big money to perform

I'm not saying they were anything near consistently good. But they are obviously a class above the calibre Sheens is collecting. Like all the others, they will go to teams better than ours (with the exception of newly promoted CC) and you blokes will come back in a few years whinging about how we let rep quality players go.

What is Sheens' job if not to turn volatile young men into quality, consistent footballers?

We all know perfectly well they will go on to bigger and better things under coaches who will have a better winning percentage than Sheens within a year, despite all having their first season in charge.

It would be great to keep everyone but we operate under a salary cap and we have to juggle the funds to best suit our needs. We need a no7 and a couple of class front rowers plus resign Marshall and Farah. To achieve this we have to start culling players. We might not achieve this to 2010 or even 2011 but we have to start culling now to be in a postion to strike when the right player is available

you're argument has now become stupidly confused.

So if these guys f**ked off for 3 years, became the greatest players in their positions and decided to come back to the tigers, Sheens, as you suggested, would send them back to reggies anyways.

therefore, why are you banging on about this at all?

Because unlike you, I don't want to accept mediocrity.

There's been a common factor this whole time and quite frankly I'm getting sick of it.

where have i suggested that I want to accept mediocrity?

Now you're telling lies, as well as being completely contradictary.

One too many christmas drinks westie?

Well, as it is, not only do you appear to be happy with running out with no props, but I am predicting that, as always, your (and other's) opinions of players will be amusingly incorrect.

Want a laugh? Go back and read old threads, particularly those talking up Balmain juniors or affiliated players. You will feature quite prominently if you search for "stupid predictions which I later went back on".

Careful Westie.

If we dig too far we might stumble upon your preference for Ben Reynolds over Prince and Marshall.

lol Ben Reynolds?

Screw Te'o and screw O'Hara. O'Hara was our worst buy ever and Te'o was a lazy prick who was happy to let everyone else do the work.

We don't need either and I'm happy to see them sod off.

Harrison is a bit of a loss, but he never really turned his potential into anything.

Oh come on, in 2003 Benji's game was legitmately flawed.

BUT, if you guys ever paid any attention you'll realise the main reason was for not throwing in a guy who wasn't ready. It took no time at all for that prediction to come thru. What's he played? Half the possible games? 3 shoulder recos?

It was a c**k-up throwing him to the wolves, and anyone who denies it is having themselves on.

Strangely enough, not playing him as a schoolboy who was bound to be targetted (along with not teaching him to try to dump prop forwards) may well have prevented such a thing.

Something I'm sure most agree with now

Well that would mean admitting you were all wrong, and continue to be wrong every time it's brought up.

But, I'll take your silence as you disagreeing, and continue laughing. Can't believe people thought he was ready for FG. Seems so simple in hindsight right...
