For me, this week is the most important of our season, not even the game next weekend but the week of prep leading up to it. Clearly something has gone wrong over the last month or so and it needs to be rectified immediately before our season is on life support.

AOB needs to sit them all down in a room and do a good old fashioned honesty session. Get it all out there and then hit the training paddock with renewed vigour. He probably needs to send a message and drop an experienced player or two to get a response. Although I’m not sure who he can drop given our current situation with injuries.

I honestly think our season is on the line this week. It doesn’t necessarily mean we have to win next game but we can’t turn up and be listless again with the ball in hand.

There is a deep, deep rot at the club. Leaders have to take responsibility for it, both on and off the field.

Problem is we don’t have any leaders.

The closest seem to be Lucas and Elliott and we’re planning on getting rid of one of them.

Gagai and Friz are both past it if we are being honest.

Lucas, KPP and Elliott makes a great back row. The depth is an issue - I think Cant can be a really good player - his defence is an issue…

Not confirmed but Cant had high tackle count but I don’t think he is regular 1st grader

Is Dylan Lucas actually that important to us in both attack and defence?

we were missing Lucas, Saf, Elliott and Heatho from the pack.

The kids trying to step up were physically dominated and Tyrone is so far off the pace conditioning wise it’s embarrassing for all of Rugby Union.

Our depth in the forwards is truly awful.

Schiller was a big loss too, mostly because Marz tried to pick up the donkey work slack and has hands like flippers.

I want some angry people playing for this club. We are injury riddled in the worst spot. Our pack. But none can come in and just physically make a problem of themselves for opponents. Royce Hunt types. Limited ability but are not afraid to get in and cause chaos.

Wasn’t Hetherington sort of supposed to be that (albeit with more talent?) but he’s basically just an error/penalty machine.

A big side across the park who just wants to physically run over opponents would be a big success in Newcastle. The Sharks squad would be an enormous hit here with Newy jersey on. You cannot keep sides like that quiet for 80 mins. They are simply too big and powerful. Errors are their main downfall. If AOB wants a direct low risk attack, and low error count, he has to have the side to make it work. we are simply too small to do it on a dominant level. You have to be able to constantly punch holes to create space with our style. Our backs are strong. The forwards seem to work completely seperate to one another.
