Turned it off at half time, but from what I saw, Arthur is already 10x a better kicker than anyone else in the team

Hunt's defense is completely f**ked and I can't wrap my head around why he finds himself in first grade at centre. He's not a centre and blind freddy can see it. He's a wing prospect, and he's a year or two off at least - assuming he can bulk up.

We have other actual centres that could be playing there but here we are, the master coach selections in action.
It’s like O’Brain couldn’t switch him and Gags when it’s not working. What a clown he is.

We only really have McCarthy and De Courcey and McCarthy’s defence was also horrible last week. I’d give De Courcy a run. Apparently he has some attitude problems so AOB wouldn’t but it might give him a boost. He’s got way more talent than either Hunt or McCarthy at centre.
Well yes, you've just named the 2 actual centres! I would even play McEwen or KPP there before Hunt honestly if we're playing people out of position.

AOB seems to think Hunt is our new Tuala, and he isn't. I don't see anything in his game to suggest he's a centre.

Is anyone still pissed off that POS is gutting this playing roster?

Hopefully the coaching team gets gutted next.

Nope, just pissed he didn't have any replacements lined up, as I've said probably 15 or 20 times by now. The players we're bringing in aren't any better than this.

Well they can’t be any worse. We’re literally at rock bottom. I’ll be shocked if we don’t get the spoon.

If we do most of us knew it was coming in round 2. If we didn’t luck out against Souths with their team out and Penrith in origin time we’d be last.

They could be worse actually. Hopefully we don't get unlucky enough that we have both Sharpe and Ponga out at the same time for an extended period next year, because it'll just be more of this.

Regardless, the players we're actually talking about aren't even playing tonight so i'm not sure what you're on about. All the blokes playing tonight are contracted here next year except for KPP and Leo I think? Edit - and Brailey I suppose too, but we've all known he's shit for a few years now.
