Uhhhh doubt it.Plenty.
Why don't you stop with the constant negativity?I hope we win.
Do you often ask a question with a preconceived idea about the answer?Uhhhh doubt it.
Cmon timmynator ... you can do itThe Timmynator still a chance of playing with George Jennings and Alvaro dropped out of the squad 24 hours before kick-off.

Every club has players of this calibre. Evans played 74 games for the Roosters.And out of those named above, how many would crack FG elsewhere?
D. Brown, Mahoney, Marata and Kaufusi (My opinion, as I rate him highly), other then that players like Moeroa, French, Alvaro etc would be very lucky to crack it anywhere else. Yes, his debuted them and developed them to an extent, some good and a lot not very good. Which is my point, I don't think many of them are up to standard and it's shown in recent times, our squad is far from good enough and most if not all have either been signed or developed by BA.
And roundaboutsBut he swings so much

*Pulled Dork.Pulled pork.
The chances are that the following guys who were here in our "system" and either 14 or 15 years old when BA arrived in 2014, will all be in our first grade team or at least top 30 next year:We were coming last every year in the 20s until BA got here...
It takes time to find some useful 14-15 year olds and set up pathways.
Interesting that we have at least some talented blokes from last year isn't it?

How the f**k are any of those ahead of Mannah? BA is either trying to send a message or he's not thinking clearly after a bad run. Either way it's not about form.Terepo, Evans and Stone all at the captains run. You would assume Timmy would have taken one of their spots if he was playing.

Dylan Brown
Haze Dunster
Ethan Parry
Stefano Utoikamanu
Oregon Kaufusi
Salesi Fainga'a
Add to these the ones he has brought into the club in the last 3-4 years that were under 20 when we signed them (and yet to debut anywhere):
Reed Mahoney
Jaemon Salmon
Ray Stone
Not a bad pathways program.
With a know it all like you, I do.Do you often ask a question with a preconceived idea about the answer?
We clearly have too many.Every club has players of this calibre. Evans played 74 games for the Roosters.
Exactly, just shows the problem at the club. How we turn good talents or even known stars to rubbish. It's alarming.If Tep & French came through ranks at Roosters or Storm they would be already playing for NSW...
It does, and in that same time where exactly have we improved from as far as our FG is concerned?We were coming last every year in the 20s until BA got here...
