Everyone laughs at Ricky Stuart and reckons he’s a hoax coaching the Raiders. Since he has been there he has got into the top 8 the same amount of times as Arthur. He is also 0-4. They are both under extreme pressure.

Oh f**k off Pou, peddle your shit somewhere else I’m not buying it.

Spin and twist the result any way you want but we are a rabble atm and look the worst team in the comp.[/QUOTE]

Stats say we are.

 

[Gary Gutful]

Good analysis. You are normally better than that.

If it is not our recruitment / selections that are one of the main problems then what do you think it is?

I'm just stirring you mate.

Yep. Its a cut throat business. He didn't want any help. Failed to re-sign Gentle, and replaced him with nobody. Refused to stick his neck out for Elkin because Bernie knows best. That AFL bloke has done wonders.

Let me know how the Warriors go in September when Smith shits the bed (and then climbs into Kearney's bed and shits it as well).

Its ok. We can just turn around and go with the smith is a choker opinion then when it looks right

We've been saying the same thing about you for 8 years.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Shame we can have it all the time, we would be unbeatable I’d imagine

Half the time would be a nice start.

1 from 8 in the tipping

Giving myself a few uppercuts

Pick the home side ffs

 

[Djay]

It's funny how Kearney and McGregor are leading the comp.

Everyone wants BA gone, would you replace him with either of them? No f**king way.

They have recruited where they need to, we have not simple. Is that BA's fault, well yes and his failure to replace Gentle is another mistake.

 

[WaznTheGreat]

We've been saying the same thing about you for 8 years.

Which would make youse morons as im always right

 

[Poupou Escobar]

So do you agree with the rest of the changes?
And where would you have started Jennings?

It would depend on the rest of the team. With Auva'a at centre you put Jennings on the right because Auva'a prefers the left. Hayne prefers the right so Jennings left. It's pretty simple.

Team selections aren't responsible for our lack of application.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Think more a case of Wests putting the Cue in the Rack,

Well we had it in the rack to start with, so they owed us. We also stopped conceding penalties when we were too tired to get up quickly in defence.

Mate we could make the top 4 (like last year) and you would continue to death ride him. Did his dog bite you or something ?

LOL top 4 means nothing when you lose both finals games and don't win the comp,you play to win not to run 4th and lose.

Yep and we have got the most success with French on the wing so Hayne at fullback with Hayne right , Auva left made the most sense.

What do you think is responsible for our lack of application? I think it is a combination of incorrect selections, poor recruitment, lack of leadership and lack of detail to fitness and winning the wrestle .

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Seriously if may seem now but we finished 4th last year so what recruitment could we do? It's not like we could sack anyone, fans would be in an uproar (which doesn't mean much) as we finished 4th, but there didn't seem like we needed a massive recruitment campaign either!! On the balance, we added some potential quality within our cap capacity.

Everything is good in hindsight, but BA his brains trust did the best they could. We added a back to replace semi plus a prop to add to our rotation. And gave T-Rex a chance.

Really what would you have done? Who would have sacked ? Signed? For this year?

Now leading into next year is where they should be judged!!

Our recruitment was fine. Our only loss was Radradra and we replaced him with a two time Dally M winner. Plus we added a big fast forward to the pack.

 

[Glenn]

I'm sure you'll be the first one to say "I told you so" as well.

Edit - Second, behind Avenger.

If people want to believe that we have, they are clearly in la la land and need to be set straight.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Well then why quote me? Your post had nothing to do with mine

I disagreed with your post. You said the coach never makes mistakes. I showed you how our pack is too small. Whose fault is that if not the coach's?
