We arnt expecting another Johns but a Cronk/Mortimer/Pearce would be nice

If Scotty leaves and goes on to improve at another club then the blame can be squarely put back on the coaching staff

Somehow I think that is an unlikely scenario though

No, no, no, No!

Do people actually watch him play? He is so average and inconsistent. He is a sub par Mullen.

Yeah was about to mention Mortimer myself, certainly not proven just yet.

Holla if ya hear me said:
I just got am email thru listing Dureau as the half this week...mullen at 6...no rogers...

It also has Wes listed in the centres, so I'd take that with a very big grain of salt ;-)

In fact it looks just like last weeks team that was announced for the Cowboys game back on the Tuesday afternoon! Looks like someone stuffed up and copied and pasted the wrong team!

The speed at which the coaching staff and CEO seemingly want to cut him loose to me suggests that him leaving was always on the cards. My question is why then did we bother to start an NRL season with a guy in the 7 nobody believed in....bad management? just a bit i think.

Now that all the S**T has hit the fan in Melbourne we should forget all about another 5/8 in Finch.
We should be targeting CRONK a deadset halfback. We already have enough in the 5/8 department.

Totally agree,Cronk is a better half by far. Finch is a competitive player and has said he would be interested in coming to the knights was reading todays courier mail it has the storms estimated saleries (the legit ones) and it has cooper at $350,000 and finch at $175,000 i would much rather cooper cronk but realisticaly we probably will end up with finch.

Dureau won't improve.
Walsh didn't improve.
Other clubs will just work around his limitations and he will be a perfectly good member of their sides.

We are the only club who don't seem to be aware that little guys have limitations.

What do you mean work around his limitations roop? HIS ENTIRE GAME IS HIS LIMITATIONS. You can't work around that. He doesn't have the skillset that walsh does!!! He has walsh's negatives without the positives. I don't care about what happened back in the day in jnr's or reserves.....he just isn't as good!

I would like to hear what the Dureau fans think his assets are? I don't like bagging NRL players as they are all at the top of their chosen sport but Scott is not, I repeat, not an NRL standard league player. I am willing to concede that on his day he can kick a ball well - that is the extent of it people.

If you thought Mullen was quiet ... where was Rodgers? I'm sorry but he is too hot or cold for my liking Mullen and Dureau for me and stop the complacency in our game focus focus focus Thank god for the Storm otherwise ...

Rogers was shut out of the game by Mullen's constant dumb long passes and Gidley stifling play by dud runs. He can only have some effect if he is allowed to do something. He did however manage to make a few dumb mistakes and give away at least one penalty.

Il just say this....

Dureau seems to try his heart out every game. Especially this year he has even tried new things such as chipping and chasing. Whilst I know he is probably not our future halfback if we want to challenge for titles. I really can't see us challenging for a title this year no matter what. So all I want to see is the boys in the red and blue play with pride and try their guts out to win.

At the moment and for the first 7 weeks of this comp, Dureau has been trying and honestly I don't know if Mullen is.

I know who I'd rather have playing halfback for us next week.
