I think Ivan needs a Reset... Very strange

2015 Tired Ivan vibes.

I think Cole’s good enough to get more than 10 minutes week to week as a 14. His last game at 6 in cup was outstanding, he threw a cutout pass that every great half that’s ever played would be jealous for a try assist. Had some good runs and set up tries with his running as well. He can play a bit hooker or lock as well as covering a number of spots. He’s good enough defensively and I think he could add something in that role. I’d be looking to rotate with sommo as well cause he’s stepped up this year I think, defence noticeably better.

He is a far better halfback in every facet of the game than Schneider is. It baffles me that Ivan doesn't see this.

He didn't. We let in 3 tries in the first 13 minutes. I think we only had 2 completed sets in that time? He was replaced after 16 minutes.

I am not advocating his selection. I think he is past it. Just we don't have any other decent options.

We let in those tries because our defence in the middle was soft as f**k and a lot of that was on him. knights were tearing us down the middle and we had no answers. soon as he comes off we looked a whole lot better and the scoring stopped. that is until liam henry got binned and knights went straight through us again

Who is Helen? Is she a physio or something?

Leota debuted aged 20/21. He was always a noted hard trainer.

Riki or Dias are the starting props in reserve grade. Either would be next up if we lost another prop. Probably Riki, as he in the top 30.

There are some good props coming through, (Sagaga) but none ready for FG now.

Then move them to nsw cup and move the fringe guys blocking them.When we say there is nobody to pick we need to look at why the nsw cup are not good enough

And more importantly is she a good sort lol

Lol, she has to be if that's why Paul was dropped

 

[Sime_11]

He played a total 30 mins 4 runs for 33 metres. That's his total contribution

Jurbo elite origin performance there

Huth, Riki need to be moved on - theyve been here awhile now and cant crack FG with poor performances from Leota, Henry & Smith in 2025 - the next gen are old enough for NSW Cup

Do you rate Diaz? He needs to go too especially if Riki is above him.

He looked alright at Tigers a couple years ago but haven't seen him play in a while

 

[BossleyPanther]

He can't even crack this depleted team. So much deadwood At least 10.

 

[Sime_11]

havent seen much of him to comment - but he's clearly not pushing for FG

Huth & Riki i target because they've been here longer and arent showing much to retain

we've been pillaged for too long - its time to promote the next crop into Cup

Our defence was putrid in the middle and on the edges. The Knights should have put 40 or 50 on us.

 

[Panfa]

It was men against boys against the knights,we made lucas look like tallis.

He is a future rep player to be fair

Why do we sign players like Diaz he couldn’t crack wests fg during the last 3 years. I don’t understand how we can loose Hosking and retain Riki and Eisenhuff then sign Diaz.
Pillage is a good word, late 60s early 70s Souths were best team of that era. Mostly local juniors and kids from the country(sound familiar). Got pillaged by Manly Easts and others didn’t win another premiership for 37years. Fortunately we don’t have money problems just an inability to use it wisely.

I think we keep pushing Kenny hard for 80 for a bit of middle cover. He hasn't played as much as the others recently. Sorensen can do some middle work as well.

Hassett had a go last week. Keeps the spot until Garner returns. I think we are ready to give someone new like Riley Wake a go as well.

The guys that are meant to come in and do a job just aren't getting it done anymore. Laurie and Schneider might get a recall based on Wednesday night but they are on very thin ice and are playing for their futures in 2026.

I read somewhere that Kenny's shoulder is hanging by a thread. Is this is the case, Sommerton should be on the bench.
