Or was it Peats? He's one of the few out there for 80 minutes.

The fact is you need a leadership group and we're still buying ours. A couple of good ones arrive next year. Not Hayne.
So now it's next year, can't wait to hear what BS you come up with for next year. It will be entertaining as usual.

Do you not think it was bit too late when that change was made? I thought Brad Arthur could have been a bit more proactive and brought on Pauli a lot earlier. In stating that, I think Arthur's rotation of his forwards has been at the very least questionable all season.

Tbh Arthur has lost my faith - his use of the bench and defensive structures (Moeroa next to Sandow? Really?) has left me scratching my head.

Cherry picking games to suit your pathetic agenda. I remember you protested back then how poor the squad was and what a great job big face was doing :lol: now it was all Haynes fault with his shit leadership :lol:

Who's blaming Hayne? His shit leadership isn't his fault - he's a great player, not a great leader.

and two good forwards??? We picked up Wicks and Watmough so now we needed 3??? Keep making excuses for a bloke to claims to know all you really are dribbling shit of late.

Yeah Danny Wicks the Origin player. Runs the ball okay but he's missed almost as many tackles as Sandow: http://rugbyleagueweek.com.au/top-10s/

Mate, you need to stop arguing. You spout nothing bullshit.

Seriously Pou. Just stop mate. FFS mate. Just leave it for once in your life.
He's finally cracked, i really think he has got lost up in Bowral somewhere and found Caspers secret stash and it has fried his brain.

haha it doesn't matter who you put next to Sandow, the guy just cannot defend. To be fair his tackling has improved but the amount of times he is caught out of position is just horrific. As for Moeroa, I'd like to see him move to lock in the future. I thought he looked exceptionally dangerous when he drifted into the centre of the park last week but at the same time you want him using his big frame to run at the little men out wide. One thing is for sure though, his head is bloody hard. I think anyone else would have been knocked out cold after the knock but he got up like it was nothing.

Yeah, but you don't put a rookie next to Sandow.

I really rate Moeroa, but he's inexperienced, still getting used to the pace of First Grade and has to defend next to Sandow. That's just poor coaching imo.

Chipmunk asked did we ever give up a 24 point lead with Hayne here, and try and try as you might you couldn't find one.

What's so special about a 24 point lead? We capitulated with Hayne plenty of times, and got flogged by much bigger margins than six points.

Oh we've lead 30-6 whilst The Plane was here...We didn't get beaten though.

Ah okay, so the other capitulations with Hayne were okay because we led by less than 24 points? We still gave up 30 points in half a game of footy plenty of times while Hayne was 'leading' us. Including after being in front at halftime.

The thing is in the modern game you don't get that much time - every coach knows that. If you don't get your team winning or show signs of improvement within 12-18 months in the job then your going to get punted. You may have a point in saying that coaches are an easy scapegoat but like I've said, it is their job to get the team winning; its just the way that the sport works.

Yeah it is but the point is some Titanics can't be turned around as quickly as others. Why do you think the best coaches won't touch our club? The most high profile coach we've signed since Gibson was Brian Smith, and he was known as a choker.

So a coach gets the sack, everyone feels the problem has been solved and some new deadshit's head goes on the chopping block.

Where would you have him defend? We tried hiding him everywhere in defence when he was at Souths and it just didn't work. In the modern game you cannot hide an inept defender - teams will just figure ways to expose you. I think the only way that you can cover up his defensive frailties is to play him outside of a defensive centre, sort of like how the Dragons did with Soward.

As for Moeroa, I thought he had a pretty strong game up until the 60th minute. I get the feeling that if he was given a proper rest a bit earlier than when he was, his performance might not have dropped off.

Nah I'm f**king sick of these losers whinging all week and then f**king celebrating when we lose. They can get f**ked.

In fact you can all get f**ked. I'm gone.

The guy was sacked after 18 months. How is there going to be any lasting effect from that?

He started the infamous 5 year plan and the academy which you have championed on this forum. I'm just wondering when we are going to see some results??????

So nothing has changed then...
