Round 5 Vs Cowboys

[jeffdragon]

Lkt 5-8.
Suli back Couchman back.
Otherwise Flano won't change a thing.
Can't believe he couldn't change the shit style of play.

Would hate to be coached by you. LKT has had enough opportunities to play well, he ain’t it mate. Reed is the answer moving forward.

Im saying what flano will do.
I can see it now.
He is stubborn and he wont pick Reed.

As Reed isn't even in the top 30.

Good stats. Has to be worth a shot. Park Couchman next to him to do some of his tackling. Put Atko as 5/8. Pick whichever two wingers are the fastest/ highest jumping/ best kick returners so we have something to attack with. We'll still lose but we might at least look like a footy side.

Reed and aitkinson must play together. Season is over let’s get combinations firing for next year.

Reed is a great prospect, I'd prefer he gets a run under a new coach then under this fraud though, bringing him now could damage his confidence.

LKT and LPT are nowhere near NRL Standard ..yet
LKT an absolute turnstile in defence and was found out , again, when he replaced KF Sun
Gutho has been one of our weakest links and is oh so slow , despite being so inspirational .....
Would move him to 6 or give Reed his opportunity
Cook to start 9 then replaced Liddle 20 min mark
the heavy work load first 4 games starting to tell already
God forbid ,,,Either Sloan , Val or Feagai back to FB
Suli and Couchman both back in this week
Wont happen this way....copy n paste .. LKT will b named 6

 

[jeffdragon]

We have 27 on our list.
Only Egan is injured.
Reed isn't one of them.
So we are behind the 8 ball with recruitment can't even get 30.

Absolute shite.

 

[Flinstone]

I can't see Flano making big changes,
LKT will be 6
Gutho, holmes and Cook will all hold their spots.
He thinks their the best in our roster to get it done, they are just not getting it done at the moment.

Because we are still competing in games he probably thinks were not far off winning, just need to fix up some errors.

He is persisting with the same players, same plan and when it comes off he will say 'our halvs are not the problem, they just needed to tidey up the errors.

It's going to take a 40-0 game for him to accept changes need to be made, maybe two 40-0 after the first one he will say ill make sure it doesn't happen again.

I feel we are close to either jagging a win if we can find points, or close to hitting rock bottom and getting smashed often.
The confidence has to be low and players will be frustrated, they're in a habit of losing.

For me cant see where the next win is coming from if we couldn't win the last two games where we've been handed it to us on a platter.

Absolute shite.

Not even having a full player roster to start the season was a big indicator that the guy with his hand on the tiller doesn't know which way the boat is going.

Reed on extended bench.
