Mann is far too robotic. No natural playmaking ability. That was as bad as it gets.

He needs to be hooked now. I don't care if we play Jones at 5/8th right now - heck I think he'd create a lot more.

Why don't we just get blokes from the Goannas? Musgrove and Jones are about the only two worth feeding this season

Oh and happy 100 NRL games Barnett, be sure to thank your mates for a memorable one, not to mention your own injury - typical Knights.

I’d be slotting them; Mann off, Hoy 6, Toa 1, Tuala 5 & whatever else needed, rest of game.
Get them all out of positions they keep failing at. Try something.

Said it in another thread, if Mann isn't dropped next week (happy for Hoy to get his chance at 6), then I have lost faith in AOB because he is telling the team these performances is ok and acceptable.

I don't care what injuries you have, you need to show the squad this is not acceptable. Hoy at 6, Jones at 6, Barnett, Watson, Johns I don't care.

AOB is failing so bad at the psychology of coaching IMO.

O’Brien will survive this season cos we made the 8. I have heard Kristian Woolf is very much in conversation at board level though.
There has to be pressure on O'Brien at this point. It's not the results that are the problem - it's the way they are happening. This team is a flat out rabble - and it's not just the talent of the players involved. Plenty of teams show every year you can play ok football with a bunch of ordinary blokes if they're well coached and invested. This team is neither of those things.
