Mate, you can play tautai and Hindy in the halves, but they ain't halves. Tautai may be a quality prop in nsw cup, but the simple truth is he ain't a props asshole in nrl. A fringe player at best.

Having all four genuine props on the bench at one time is ludicrous. But nothing surprises me with super coach.

Whether or not Tautai is the worst prop to ever play the game is completely irrelevant.

He wasn't picked as a halfback, his position now is a prop, and that's what he came on and played the other night.

It's fair enough to bag Kearney, but let's actually do it over REAL things. Just because you (or others) don't rate Tautai doesn't change the fact that he was picked as a prop. So bag the guy by all means, but don't pretend that there was a period with no props since it's actually impossible.

I'll do the maths just so people can get up to speed.

4 players sit on the bench.
We had 6 props in the squad.
6-4 = 2

Therefore, by simple deductive logic, we had a minimum of 2 on the field at any one time.

Good coaching, eh?

It's great coaching. SK was covering his backside by having SO MANY props in the squad that he can't be accused of not having any out there.

Well he got one thing right. At this rate we might win a game again by the end of the year, but I'm not getting my hopes up.

Hindy's go forward has been non existent for a few years now. In fact, Hindys is selected for his defense and we have actually been carrying him in attack.

Leaving him on the field with TT, and benching 4 genuine props is bizarre, dont you think????

I wouldn`t necessarily disagree with that. My definite preference would be Jason Taylor. I am concerend about Ricky Stuart`s approach to Jarryd Hayne. I`m also concerned about a forty year old man still being called 'Ricky'.

The players call our current coach 'Mooks'. Ricky is a step-up.

No he aint. I dont like kearney as a coach but i aint blinded that anyone will do approach. Stuart is a hack & a record of under 50 percent for 8 years of coaching considering the first 3 were succesful is pretty poor.

Kearney this year has been terrible in getting the players onside with him but the more you hear stuart talk the more you realise he has no idea.

Kearney is light years ahead in regards to building a club he just doesnt know how to top it off. STuart has destroyed both clubs & left them in a mess. He is not the answer.

Dont let your dislike of kearney cloud anyone but him is good enough attitude

Appointing the NSW coach can't be a bad thing. We have the NZ coach and that's worked out fine.

That's a very good point.
There seems to be a lot of that at the moment.
I'm yet to read anyone that says they dislike Kearney. By all reports he's a decent bloke, and none/few of us on here have met him to make any other judgement.

I think it just comes down to not rating Kearney as a head coach, based on performance?
