Mbye has been the new Norman since his arrival. I’d much prefer some faith show in Liddle & Mbye being the utility for injuries etc. Griffin still hasn’t learned a thing.
I don't mind this if it plays out as per selection.
Yes hook could change the team before kick off and we could see Liddle starting. But hook does have his pets and Mbye is one of them, we can all probably make a pretty good educated guess that Liddle won’t start come Sunday. No one thought Liddle would play 80, but no one thought he wouldn’t start. The fact Mbye’s been selected to start is just ludicrous, it makes zero sense.
Totally agree. However it does indicate we will be playing Dragonball (5 hit ups and kick on 6) for the first 20 minutes.
pretty sure that was always going to be the case
In short…yes…if you’re the coach and you’re going to get fired based off the amount of games you lose, then why wouldn’t you not want to pick your best team if they’re available?
Hooray no Woods.
Woods, Kerr, Burns, Moga and some others I'd say are on the outer and won't be with us next year. Use of the young guys regularly this year will help with their development and experience. Just need a couple of really good signings to replace the rejects to blend in with our rising juniors is all we need.
Mbye is bad…but he’s nowhere near as bad as Norman.
And that right there is the problem with the dragons...every year we say the same thing...but what happens? We keep the dead wood and sign more dead wood instead of going after well established top tier players...then let our promising juniors go without giving them a go...this is the reason why we are up shit creek atm
Another fine example being the recruitment of a certain Paul Turner so what happens now is that we are once again paying overs for a NSW Cup player
R&W you are legitimately one of my favourite posters on here and I get what you are saying but again this just sends a really poor message hey do what you want perform how you want and you'll be picked anyways if the coach were serious he'd think long term and send message to all players Rava, Musgrove, Amone, & Molo should all be playing reserves to send a message to the playing group don't screw around or you'll be dropped. Sure it would more than likely mean a loss to GC but short term pain for long term gain no wonder our culture is toxic AF.
Agree.
