This doesn't actually answer the question.
You are saying that BA has failed and that you would have done it another way. I'm just asking how you would have gone about getting the players you think we need, remembering that BA has a salary cap to adhere to and can't just sign anyone unless they are off contract.

He never has any answers. Just his opinion. Never backs it up, just says "I'm Mr 85%" and waffles on about more of his own opinion.

Actually, I wonder if he's Donald Trump...?

There are tough calls to be made as a coach.
One was to chose between Mannah and Alvaro the other i feel may of been between Bevan and Gutherson unfortunately.
If it ever came to that it’s a no-brainer for me...Alvaro and Gutherson in, Mannah and Bev out.

KA / Pritchard / Moeroa were injured reducing our interchanges

Pritchard played 80min. I don't think that effected our interchange at all. Tepai's first interchange (and him coming back on the field) was free due to passing concussion test. His 2nd one counted but he is usually subbed anyway so it would have been planned for as he doesn't ever play 80min. KA's injury wouldn't have been planned but coaches usually try to account for 1-2 injuries up their sleeve in their interchange planning. Though it seems that might not have happened this week

Don't like Williams starting; I'd have Smith at 14 to give Kaysa a break; and I hope Gutho isn't being rushed back too soon

Look what do you think Beau Scott cost? My guess is 400k. I am sure we could of found a more attacking style player for that.Perhaps a Joel Thompson.
And i dare say Bevan and Gutherson are on atleast 350k + I also am sure we could of found a quality 100kg winger for that. Throw in Hoffmans money.
I am also sure we have money left in cap, had we not wasted money on Vave and Matagi and used both their money to go for Rapira that solves another problem....
We have great depth. 6 or 7 genuine first graders in Wenty but lets be honest there is not much difference in quality between any of our props in NRL or Wenty.
Sure we may of had injuries and had to rely on a few juniors LIKE Nikauore,Stone etc...But if fit we could of had a much better starting 17.

Agree. But lets see how Guth goes with knee. If they are both ideal fullbacks then we have to chose. I honestly think Gutherson is wasted elsewhere.

Scott filled a need at the time. I didn't see you whinging?

Rapira? Which Rapira?

By the way, I'm not sure what this post has to do with any of the others...is this your idea of answers?

Is that Rapira's first name?

Why can't you answer questions?

It's either the Rapira that is playing in the second tier comp in Europe because he wasn't good enough to get picked up by a NRL team or a Super League team or the Rapira that retired in 2014.

Classic Hindy111 randomly spewing out the names of hasbeens that would actually perform worse than the forwards we currently have.

Oh thats the one. I only follow the eels so take little notice of the other 14 teams no comment.

Would you pay what the Tigers did for Packer? Because he's allegedly almost on Klemmer money...you'd likely have to match or beat that to sign him.

Would you?
