Rumours and Stuff

[Joshuatheeel]

Yep time to make statement in selection next week. Sivo efforts in 1st 10 mins were disgraceful sterlo was absolutely losing it when he walked back to pick the ball up giving manly an extra 15-20m to make a tackle

Yep I have seen junior coaches replace players for efforts like that!!

 

[Joshuatheeel]

I've been calling for him to move from the halves since the beginning of the season. What does BA do? First he moved him from the left to the right at the start of the year, now tonight he swapped him back. BA doesn't know what he's doing. He's not a f**king half!! Centre or fullback.

I don’t think it’s a move you can make during the season….

Yeah it is.
Gutho and Drown would have trained in each others positions in pre-season and during the year.
Injury coverage needs to be planned for in mid-game scenarios.

 

[The Predictor]

I'm not fan of BA's, but he has got Papali'i, RCG, Moses, Gutherson, and Mahoney into career-best from during his tenure.

Not enough to keep his job

of course, but that’s through necessarily…..

if permanent I reckon they wouId want Gutho to bulk up and drown to slip down - not by a huge amount but enough to make a difference…along with practicing attacking structures/Gutho kicking game…an off season wouId be preferred not making changes in the last quarter of the season…..

Make the change temporarily for the next 4 weeks and make it permanent next year.
It would be through necessity.

Unless we land young Pryce from the UK and he is ready for 6.

I can't believe I'm saying this but I wouldn't be fussed if Gutherson left after BA gets boned. Even for season 2022. We need a major overhaul to the backline no matter who is coaching next year. One thing is for sure, it wont be Brad Arthur.

I reckon it's a possibility. If BA goes then we will likely lose Gutho. If he stays I reckon we might lose Brown.

I agree. Round 2 v the Storm, he saved 4 tries and basically was superman. Has been the instigator of most good things we've done this year but in the past 2 months, he cannot possibly demand elite money based on his output against the big boys. I'd be happy to recalibrate and start again

No, and I'm not saying he should.

I've had enough of him, and his so-called "tactics".

Lol who trains at this club???

Mate no doubting that they train... obviously they just dont do it very well.

Obviously.

I definitely understand statistics. If you cherry pick a sample with higher quality opponents of course it will be worse than the season as a whole. The narrative that we fade late in the season is bullshit, because we've finished the regular season well plenty of times. Of course we will go worse in the finals; we're playing against the best teams.

I haven’t “cherry picked” a sample with higher quality opponents. That’s literally our most recent form. We were favourites to win two of those games FFS.

Well I can agree we are out of form, but it's classic recency bias to pretend it is more representative of our season or the coach's career than any other five games.

And we were favourites exactly because the market cares too much about form. I won money on both those games. We should've been favourites against the Raiders (but at $4 they were awesome value). But with Moses out there's no way we should've been favourites in that game. Yes they've had injuries, but at full strength most teams (including ours) shouldn't get close to them. Moses is much harder for us to replace than any of their players are for them. They are just that strong.

and Lomax might be free....

One of only eight players in the NRL who are signed until 2026.

 

[gaffer]

Sivo can’t be there. He just can’t. Bloke is useless in literally every facet of the game except for 10m out from the opposition goal line with a run up

give him a couple of games in the middle and he might appreciate being a winger then

 

[gaffer]

I try to see reasons why players are in the side generally look at the positives, but Sivo should be the first dropped. Yeah he aren’t the main reason we have goto shit!!

But he is terrible!! Offers nothing !!

there was one play he looked ranked rucking it out. A winger shouldn’t be that stuffed!!

but he can lift heavy weights

So was RCG. Means shit these days. I hear that Lomax and the coach don’t get on. He may be released.

Well we can now our season is over.
