Is just me or are others wanting to throw their phone against a wall when Casper post those stupidly large pictures that add no value but stuff up the page format?

Is there a way he can be blocked from doing it?

Apologies, have to check the resolution size of the photos when posting. Will go back and reduce the dollar photo now.

Fixed.

Will be more careful when posting photos in future.
Again, apologies.

OK, have gone back over the past few days and found two more and reduced them too.

In the background Phil Gould type of roll, maybe things will be very different for Brian Smith. Brian consults and guides, etc, and JT runs the squad as he feels inspired to do so.

In the past, JT seems to have pissed off a player or two but I see that as pottentially a good thing. Don't mind a coach confronting players about their attitudes, etc. Love a coach who has some fireworks in readiness when required.

I cannot for the life of me see Smith getting along with some like Sandow for instance let alone throwing Hayne into the mix. Like mixing water with oil

Unfortunately, having witnessed things and spoken to people, it has become clear that there is division amongst the playing ranks. And getting rid of Kearney might not resolve things, as there are those who back him and those who want to see him gone. There is an impasse of sorts and it is very unprofessional and messy.

That rumour has been around for awhile and i think there is a definate legs to it. I'd be interested to know which players are on which side and what Hoppa would do if Kearney was let go.

Who would be mad enough to give hoppa over 500k a year which we will be after having 2 years out of the game. He is going no where & to be honest it aint that big a loss unless kearney planned on having him at fullback

From what i heard manly were gonna have him on a retainer while he was door knocking & start him off with 200k a year his first year. Parra just blew them out of the water with a offer that was reported to be close to 800k a year supposedly. They didnt stand a chance. Thats why i think he isnt coming here to play centre. Especially since his has coveted the fullback spot

We don't know that, from what I heard Hayne was one of the people in Hoppa's ear

Give us the minute marks where we had no props on the field?
The comment was in response to our lack of go forward, and specifically mentioned the four "recognised" props in our 17 - as opposed to the partimers who might fill in that position (Hindy, Tautai).

Based on my observation at the game (don't have it to review on Fox etc) The timings when Poore, Moimoi, Mannah and Allgood were all on the bench from at least half time until after the first SOuths try of the second half (about 50th minute?).

Regardless of how he's attempting to use an additional two second rowers in a six-man prop rotation, to not have even one of your four first choice props on the field at a crucial time for go forward is abysmal tactics imo. Most other teams/coaches can get by with a very simple four man prop rotation, and so could we - but Kearney tries to over complicate things, the players seem confused on the field, and the whole thing backfires.

The problem with other people actually trying to have an intelligent discussion about the shortfalls of Kearney is that people like you have had it in for him since day 1 and so make up stuff just to suit your point.
Bullshit. The problem with you (and several others here) is that you pay more attention to a poster's name than the content they've posted, and get carried away with your own generalisations about the poster and start off with personal comments like the above rather than having the intelligent discussion. The reactions from some would be very different if I posted the same points under a different forum name, but I digress.

We need a 'director' out there to take charge of pointing the team around the park. Clearly our waterboys can't get the job done, so we need an on-field general who can tell us how to keep our shape.
And/or a coach that drill it into the team during training each week. What the f do they spend their time doing the other four days of their working weeks - it sure as hell looks like they aren't training together or getting any structures or tactics right for gamedays?

First South try was in the 43rd minute.
As he said, stop making shit up.
