Yeah I really hope Fitz lives up to the hype and learns quick on some players. The trindall thing still worries me. Hope Fitz has the kahunas to make tough decisions when the time comes. I'm sure he does.
I wouldn't mine the Vaughan thing happening. Wonder if it's fair dinkum

Bit unfair on Braily, the forwards didn’t win the ruck and when he took his chance to dart out he had zero support.

Kennedy is great ball playing in the back line and under the high ball but has f**k all awareness in support play or defence, he is always 2 sec behind where he needs to be.
I’m sick of seeing him jogging in cover.
Needs a f**ken rocket under him.

More a comment on our philosophy, replace Brailey with any hookers name.

Since Ennis, our hookers have pretty mush just shovelled the ball, made thier tackles, but not much creativity, not many runs, kicks, organizing. We spent a lot on halves to do it.

I think Brailey has all the required skills, but we are not coached that way. We love halfbacks.

Just my observartion, the top teams have dominate hookers. Generally strong everywhere, but the best hookers.

Personally I think that BB has been reading his own media with all the talk that Freddy has him in line for SOO call up. I wouldn’t even have him in my top 3 for SOO honours.

BB has been excellent this season, except for the recent teamwide nose dive.

Pretty difficult as a hooker when your team is getting bashed in the middle.
Agree he has been going well ,especially when forwards are too. Would still like to see him be more hard arse niggling ,spoiling, dominant type of hooker like Ennis was. Also agree with angryman that its a key Pos in todays game.

I noticed the limited minutes benched played outside of Tolman 45, Graham 23, Williams 20, Trindall 18.
If you are having bench with limited minutes then you need someone like a Pele to be one of those players who can make those big charges and get him off the field.
And Trindall is not a 20 minute player, he is not Benji style, I prefer we try Miller in that role

Agreed. BB has been one of the better 9s hence the origin fluff talk.
What talk?

Behind Cook, Api, Robson - Blayke has been behind Robson for NSW selectors his entire career thus far.

Then Qld have Grant, Mahoney.

I think he is coming along well, 67 games in has all the skills but either he is instructed to just listen to the halves, or he does not have it in him to own the team. I am unsure.

Does not need to be captain, but lead the team from dummy half. Whomever is our hooker.

Wehave good edges and forwards.
