George Carmont ](*,) ](*,)

Mullen had better be injured from Hagan's point of view by putting Kidley at five-eight .............

 

[Matt23]

Here we go again, hammered by 50, lets pick the same team again, It's also unlikely that Kidley will play

 

[Parki]

yawn...now, i wonder whether or not i should bother going, if hagan wants to treat the game like a joke by naming a dud side like that, then maybe i should treat him like a joke by going out on saturday night with my friends and staying in my bed on sunday

ffs, seriously, that will do me, i cant even be bothered pointing out the problems with that team, all i can say is "did you even watch the game on saturday night?"

 

[Nuffy]

Can anyone explain the Kidley love affair.

With due respect to the bloke and Hagan, Kidley has done very little to suggest hes the best long term option at 5/8.

Make him a lock, centre or utility and give mullen a chance along side Joey.

 

[northey]

AWWWWWWWWW kade isn't there lol...
good to see worth there.
jobdog.... you might be hitting brick walls over the inclusion of gorgie boy, but i can get over craig "bloody" hall..... grrrrrr

well i can not wait to go watch them play and the other teams.. lower grades that is

 

[macavity]

so this means Gids is having surgery?

hope he has played enough games this year to get an ESL contract...

What did Mullen do to get dropped? Are they still trying to shield him? Bit late now...

that is still a HORRIBLE back 5, defence like buttah.... we require a HUGE form swing to win.... then again, so do they....!

 

[Nuffy]

I think Hages is now taking the p*ss out of the fans with this team.

Last week was the worse backline in the clubs history and this isn't much better.

I now dream about the days when the club had a backline full of stars now its just a backline full of s**t.

 

[Nuffy]

We've got 2 weeks to get him a contract Mac, otherwise we are stuck with him, because by July 3 there will be no one left to spend his money on.

 

[astrogirl]

We are rubbish at the moment. Still not sure if I wanna go to the game...

Torn between wanting to support the boys but the number of losses I have seen live is terrible. Don't know if I can cope with another one.

 

[Matt23]

I dont blame you, Astro, that team is a joke

 

[macavity]

go guys. i would be if i could... cheer for me!!!

we could win, who knows - origin buzz perhaps???

I'm a bit like Parki here, really can't be bothered going over the team. But yes it would be the ideal time to put Kidley at centre, and persevere with Mullen. Kidley has had plenty of time to cement a spot at 5/8th, and it appears in Hagans eyes he has. I agree with Nuffy, he doesn't cut it at 5/8th, and heaven help us if Hagan has it in his mind that Kidley will eventually replace Johns, because we saw last year the results of that, Kidley doesn't have the variety in his game to be a playmaker. It looks though as if we are stuck with him there as long as Hagan is steering the ship.

 

[northey]

it might be a joke... but who cares... atm it isn't about how many games we win. it is about getting the players to be able to play together..... but we don't have the players to have a team that will win... face it danny joey and steve will be sh!t house and then there is kurt who won't be 100% and the rest of the boys will have little confidence. they have forgotten how to win, all they know is how to loose.
but in saying all this i am a supporter of the team and i think we can win!

 

[astrogirl]

go guys. i would be if i could... cheer for me!!!

I don't know mac - I am dangerously close to tears and tanties at the game. Not a pretty sight, I can tell you.

My sister and I did the unthinkable last week and left before the game was over, with 8 minutes to go.

 

[chileman]

:shock: We are down and copping flack from all quarters as we should for letting the bunnies run riot over us....I thought you guys might have taken the chance while a team is having a wobble to put another nail in....looking at that team, well I think you Knights supporters have already answered that question :shock:

Welcome to my world... at least you arent ruining your nice white beannie every week!! I dont know, really i dont.... Hagan instills no confidence in me at ALL

 

[roopy]

We will have a great Premier League side this week.
Quigley, Campbell and Mullen in the key roles.
Spiteri adding spice to the attack.
Mueller, Hancock, Maddison, White, Kennedy etc in the forwards.
The backs still look a bit week - but Witt might play in the centres I think.

 

[astrogirl]

I really really don't want to have a tantrum in public

 

[antonius]

Don't worry Astro, I left the Dragons game before fulltime.
