prefer cook over walker
u lost schek,maloney,jennings from then on you were not going to be the easts of old then u got jw n cordner out so how can you go well too many out jack. its very similar to when we played the dogs but i always back souths whether all of our team are out or not lol its the south sydney way to stick thru thick and thin...you can still make the 8.....
Our recruitment/retention this season was appalling and someone at the club f**ked up big time. You can't replace a premiership winning 5/8 who kicks goals at over 80% with an 18 year old rookie and then partner him with a 20 year old who had played 5-6 as a started in first grade. We lost a weapon in RTS who broke all kinds of records last year and have a very green 18 year old in there as well.
Pearce stuffed it even more by soon what he did, add in Cordners long term injury with JWH and we a simply to inexperienced.
With those 3 back in the side I have no doubt we'd have 3 wins under our belt.
Every side would struggle with an under 20's spine like ours and no real forwards leaders. No one to blame but ourselves tho.
