I'd let Thompson go purely for his terrible articles in the Canberra Times.
As for Dobson, he'd still be in PL if not for Carney.

well actually for your info its come from the players mouths themselves...henry is not doing them any favours eg tll and his dropping, and thats only 1-i'm not gonna keep name dropping, but take it how you want, we don't know exactly how things are going.
in tll's case they've been trying to change his and a couple of others players games and they're not happy, its very hard to change your game when you've been playing like that all your career.lets just say its not all plan sailing with this coach and the boys are finding it hard-maybe its just the change-over period from elliott and they're still coming to grips with it.
dunnemann's also not the only player thats mentioned the training regime a few have spoken out about it and i must say i have seen a couple of training schedules from one of the players and trust me they don't get a day off-every days spent either training or travelling to games-now with away games they go the day before and return the day after with a training on the day they leave before flying out.really thats 3 out of 7 days on the road which has got to be hard, elliott did sydney in 1 day-there and back.

God knows there are some guys who have had free rides in the past here and if that means they are now struggling under Henry then so be it.Chachi said:Not sure how much of this to believe but time will tell.

To be honest, having first graders complaining about being too busy with training is a bit laughable considering most of them had nearly a week off/away with the bye. I think we all know of a good example of what happens when players have too much time on their hands...
As far as TLL goes, I do admit that I thought it was a bit strange that Henry came out and said he wanted to develop him into more of a front rower. I'm really not sure why that is to be honest. Dobson is another kettle of fish though. He could be a solid player, but I honestly think we have more talented halves on the books if he's not willing to bust his arse to make a go of it. I wouldn't be surprised to see him go back to the ESL.

hotdogs said:he's only here till 09, but if he continues to play in PL i'm sure we'll be looking at a release well before that date. but like i said chances are their will be more players than just him looking in directions away from canberra.and especially like i said with next years comp arriving.
legend said:TLL was well below his best and needed to regain some confidence in PL before he came back and now he is getting back to his best and he will be needed against the rampaging Eels this week.
Maybe he shoudl start with Tilse back to the bench?
