It's definitely time.

Your selections tonight killed us. And f**k you and Hodgson.
I don't think the board are brave enough to make a ruthless call.

With Moses out next week then Souths the following week.

We will be 4 win - 8 losses after 12 rounds.

I can't see us making a late season run which means we miss the finals. It will be all she wrote at the halfway mark.

Who was the last team that failed to make the finals after making a GF.

Parramatta in 2010?

Just changed my vote. I’m done with the bald prick. Can’t believe he named dunster, simonnsen and Hodgson again.

im not particularly thrilled we resigned junior “Gary” Barlow until 2026. He looks fat and slow. Not all that fussed with Moses for another 5 years. He will never be able to control a game like Reynolds or Cleary.

Please don’t use the “but who would you get to replace him” argument. That’s not the point. He is stale and they aren’t playing for him. Our game hasn’t changed in 10 years and his bench rotations are shit.
He lucked out with a few cheapies who turned good but doubt he will emulate that again.

He is still using the Melbourne game plan from 15+ years ago

It changed significantly after 2018. Until then we barely played through the middle. It's one of the reasons we died in the arse that year.
Maybe In 2019 we bought forwards who could compete in the middle and carry out the game plan that we didn’t have the cattle to carry out on the preceding 5 years

I understand NRL is a business but do you really need to take it out on Junior who's body is nearing it's end in the NRL. He's been a great stalwart to the club. Had he been at the Roosters his reputation would have been much higher in the game.

So is 2010 the only year where neither previous year GF teams made the finals?
Yes since 2006 when Tigers & Cowboys failed to make the finals after making the GF in 2005.
2005 also Roosters & Bulldogs didn't make finals after making the GF previous year.
