O'Neil's gotta go

[ripthebodyhookthehead]

I am calling for the dropping of Mark O'Neil to at best the bench. It breaks my heart to see such a dynamic youthful team carrying this player every week since his return from injury. I'm not sure if Sheen's kinda feels sorry for him being a testimonal player in his last year of nrl or if he is picking him as an 'old head' to stabalise the pack and workload. He's a passenger...sorry just my opinion.

To watch how this team have improved over the course of this year is truly remarkable. The way in which the tigers spread the ball with decoy and angled runners going everywhere can only be appreciated from watching up high in the grandstand. Nrl coaches studying the attack on video will not pickup all the off the ball leadup and decoys. Teams simply are being left stranded in defence when they choose to attack that way.

I think this week we will get a true indication of how the tigers will handle semi final footy when they face an inform monster penrith team. Todd Payten is a massive loss.

For the past several weeks Mark has been playing off the bench, regardless of the fact that he was named to start

at the end of the day, it hardly makes that much of a difference
