I said he needs too i didn't say he will.What gives you the impression that Kearney intends to have a massive clean out....the resigning of Keating indicates to me that he intends to run around with the same nuffies for at least another couple of seasons
Jarryd did look a bit of out sorts tonight and somewhat frustrated at times. Its had to put blame on him, he cant do everything
Morgan just shouldnt be in first grade at the moment, he may turn into a good player but he's really struggling at the moment, send him to wenty for a year to play with the big boys, coming from a NYC team that finished last cant help.
i love it Avenger... fantastic piece... i love it mate...
See this is where the whole game plan has to change, relying on Hayne all the time to put the big kicks and big plays. Thats a big worry with the halves.
The halves look lost and dont know what to do, they seem to look around try and give it to Hayne and put the silly kicks through. Lack of communication, no talk, Im sorry they both Robson and Mortimer have to be dropped.
Now Im not saying Etu's a good winger, but to be fair he hardly the saw the ball cause our halves can't pass the ball out wide. I think Burt touched it about 3 times and made a break and almost scored a try.
We replaced him last week with a winger who was a lot worse, couldnt defend and was slow. I really dont know who they'll bring in, unless they shift Walker to the wing when Reddy comes back or bring in Jordan Atkins
There's no structure, no game plan, I saw probably the same thing as last year, if not worse. No enthusiasm.
I know it takes a while for a coach to gel his side, but you can't have a big pre-season and play like that.
As for Matt Keating, I think we kept the wrong Keating cause it wouldnt surprise if Kris Keating has a good season for the Bulldogs and Mitchell will leave if we dont give him a go.
but Kearney is tall and has a big head................
Pretty much spot on mate.Mr Kearney, Welcome to our nightmare
Just in case you havent noticed we have the worst winger in the comp which incidentally you have picked twice. Its the one who runs around the field in defence like a stray dog during morning peak on Parramatta Rd.
In addition you have picked the biggest pretender in Chris Walker at centre, some of his defensive attempts were just laughable.
We have the slowest lock/secondrower in the universe in Ben Smith who basically has less lateral movement then a paraplegic stuck knee deep in quick dry cement.
We also have easily the worst halves in the world. A 5/8th who has a famous name who insists on doing inside passes that fool nobody and a halfback with the worst tackle 5 option in the history of the game.
Meanwhile you have a centre in Reddy who cannot get a run, a half who Sterling describes as the best one in our club and a hooker who is already better than the bloke you just signed for another 2 years.
Mr Kearney, WAKE UP, or the nightmare and my f**king high blood pressure will continue!!
PS - My club sack coaches now - so do it soon.
I thought Etu was our worst. He came off his wing in defense nearly every time the Warriors threw it out the backline - once they scored, and another time nearly if it weren't for Morgan covering for him.
Etu also put a big hit on in the 2nd half that everyone probably rated, but again he had bolted in off his wing uneccesarily - had the Warriors player passed before the hit they would have put the winger away for a 4-pointer.
Atrocious is really the only way to describe our team. We deserve the wooden spoon at this stage.
I will no longer watch any games this year so long as Mortimer is playing - he offers absolutely sweet f*^k all!
Etu, just as bad. Why was this fool picked after his efforts 2 weeks ago, after which game I wrote on this very forum -
Do our coaches not grab these players at half time and say "STOP COMING IN OFF YOUR WING"??
Unbelievable.
