Shit house.
As discussed before.
6.50 to go and has his back to the play whilst AFB plays forward.

He is not our leader. He wuns weally hard but is not our leader.
Put ya tooth in and have a say.
FFS.
We are f**ked.

Plenty of Dr Doomsday going on, but this nugget of negative is spot on.
Whilst you can’t fault the effort, he almost looks disinterested and just lost.
Maybe it’s just him, but it is trucking annoying and hardly inspiring.
Problem is who else? Anyone please - give it to Wilton

As uninspiring a leader as you could have.
If it was a war his own men would shoot him.
His comments in the pressers, win or lose are the same. Like a bloke they've dragged out of the beer garden at the last minute who didn't wat h the game.
As creative as a dog's turd.
As fast as a limpet.
Wouldn't make the panthers side.
Nor storm, roosters or Wahs.
Too slow for Manly and doesn't work hard enough for bennett. Tigers and broncos wouldn't touch him.
The game has passed him by.
No wonder fitzy loves him because most of his selections are a riddle.

Hard to disagree. His 100% effort is wearing on him. I don’t think he is totally useless, but he isn’t a captain and is probably best suited to a 25 minute high energy stint off the bench.

We've got all of this season and next to watch him yet.

Poor old Sifa.
Will be pushing 30 by the time Cam is eased out and he's considered for the starting spot.
He's in his prime now and should be getting the minutes to acknowledge that, not playing second fiddle to a bantam weight on the downward slide.

I think he's a player who gives 100% every week and gets the most out of his talent and skill.

Unfortunately neither his talent or skill is at an elite level and he doesn't have the size or speed to make up for it.

He does a lot of work that goes unnoticed and has made some amazing 1 on 1 try savers this year on our tryline but those don't make up for his deficiencies in other areas. He offers little in attack, rarely makes it over the advantage line and is slow laterally.

As the captain of the side he needs to inspire others by example or by reminding others of their job and I don't think he does either.

It's a real shame we only got 1 good season out of Finucane, things might have been very different if he'd been able to retain his 2022 form over the four years we signed him for.

Hopefully we’ll see the transition of Sifa and McInnes. Mc first 20 and last 20. Sifa either side of half time. McInnes is still good defensively whereas Sifa’s lateral movement in defence is susceptible when he gets tired. Sifa definitely wasn’t introduced into the game early enough last week. Would also like to see a fresh Sifa running in tandem with his big Cuz for more mins.
