Match Discussion: Round 21 vs Wests Tigers @ McDonald Jones Stadium

[Swarzey]

Hagan is 33% of the reason why we were in that state to begin with. The merkin can f**k off criticising the club. Absolute fraud of a coach who won a premiership off the back of another man's work.

 

[Burwood]

I’m sick of people getting stuck into King. He’s still recovering from his 20 odd minutes, 2 hit ups and 13m from last week.

Lay off the bloke.

 

[Seage]

I had no sound while watching. What's the skinny on the Pearce injury?

 

[Burns]

Watson unlikely, and Pearce in doubt for next week in NZ.

 

[slotmachine]

Do you honestly think our roster is anywhere near the quality of the sides in the top 8??? Any of them?

He's been here three years. He has signed or re-signed every player on the field bar cogger. That excuse is stale.

Why can't you just leave Brown alone, he has inherited this mess.

It's just where we are at the moment.

 

[Bartwah]

Who honestly expected us to be in the 8 this year anyways. Next year:
1) Ponga
2) Lee/SKD
3) ramien
4) Moga
5) Hunt?
Not the worst back 5 next year. Really need some props ASAP. In no grade should King be the starting prop

 

[Spot On]

I can not begin to dream that from the mess we were in to now, anyone could have built a side as strong as the top 6 to 8 rosters currently in the comp. That is simply pie in the sky stuff when you consider the difficulty and disadvantage we have of attracting top talent verses the Sydney clubs who get to play a merry go round with top talent because the players don't want to leave there.

Sure I think there are many things Brown could have done better but building a squad the strength and depth of the Roosters, Dragons, Broncos, Souths, Mlb, Cronulla etc in 3 seasons with this club aint realistically one of them.

 

[Swarzey]

Brown resigned players so we could actually field a team lmao. Like, lets actually acknowledge the f**king state the team was in. We had nobody better, we could not sign anyone better, we still cannot sign anyone better.

But hey, lets not let facts get in the way of a good narrative. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

[slotmachine]

Yawn. You know what is realistic, making his players better. Apparently because Brown can't do that he needs to bring in the finished article.

For someone who appears to have a deep love affair with the Storm, he is the anti-Craig bellamy.

Oh, and good to see we're still blaming Bennett over 4 years since he left. Still a few miles left in that one I reckon.

 

[Swarzey]

Whose blaming Bennett? Lmfaoooo.

Straw clutching breh.

 

[Spot On]

I agree with that sentiment Slots. I think that is very apparent in some cases.

However, even if some of the duds here had have improved do you believe we'd have a squad the strength and depth of Roosters, Souths, Mlb, Brisbane, Dragons, Cronulla, Penrith??

 

[Bartwah]

As many miles as your weekly coach-bagging rants

He’s the Ricky Stuart of coaching

 

[slotmachine]

He's going great.

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

Remind me again why he shouldn’t play 5/8?

Because he can do that at fullback and no one cares about why you think he should?

 

[Seage]

Shit Knights are shit.

 

[Burns]

*whispers more than anyone could*

Wayne Bennet took us one game from a Grand Final.

Brown has won 2x wooden spoons

``````

Now, getting that out of the way, our squad is awful. Dennis, King and Sio are not first grade standard. A few more players etc etc etc etc we probably go okay etc etc etc etc

We have first choice players that should be reserves, and reserves who should be playing local league.
