What if we change too many players at once, we might lose?
I know it seems that way, but the interim has a hard job to keep all the bruised egos in check and get everyone motivated to put in.. I feel this would have been easier early season, but rly hard making a change after this many losses and no easy teams coming.
Don't worry we get to play the Roosters back into form next match
I was banking on the raiders to arrest our 11 game losing streak.. but they are in form now too.. not sure where our win will come from.. maybe an epic effort against the roosters or dolphins.. we need to beat someone..at some point..

Well, let's hope hook is gone this week. Things can only improve after this happens.

depends who the interim is.. I am very curious if the assistants have a very different idea of the team they want.. but its a risk to change too many players at once.. so im rly curious to see how the next 3 days play out.
Personally I put them in the same basket as Hook. No clue in attack and defence. I’m over our backs rushing up and creating gaps in defence. This is under 6s stuff

I'm getting pissed of at watching players like Lawrie coming out in the media saying they are 1000 per cent behind supporting Hook. What F$#cking planet are you living on. Lets see if Sullivan this week says he let the coach down.
Look, you cannot expect a player to come and bag his coach. They will always say they're behind the coach 100%, it's not his fault, etc, when fronting the media. Cobbo is the only player who didn't do that, and he was roundly criticised by all and sundry. An inexperienced player who should've been coached better to keep his mouth shut. Lawrie is just giving the standard response. It would be a shocking look to have a player come and say the coach doesn't know what he's doing. I doubt the media will be allowed to interview Sullivan, but if they do, you can bet he's not going to bag hook in public.

I can see that happening if hook is still in charge.

Might be a different story if he's not.

Agree although a new coach will not turn the ship around straight away...

Have no faith in our Board...Griffin should have been gone weeks ago...

The sullivan bench situation was embarrassing. What does Liddle have to do to get picked ?

Maybe his Dummy half service is too quick and the plodders can't keep up...

How many times do you see a middle forward breaking the line looking to offload and there is no one trailing through...in previous years dufty would have been there...

lomax/suli experiment is a total failure ...swap them back around...

Drop Armone and bring jayden back into the side.

Agree 100% getsmarty. Amone is definitely not the goods. He has no penetration and misses tackles. He lacks power and aggression, vision and has poor decision making in attack and defence. I would just let him linger in the KOE Cup for the rest of the year or at least until his court case is heard and finalised. I am really not a keen fan of his. There were a couple of times in yesterday's game that he showed hesitation with his passing as if he wasn't too sure what he should do with it. Get rid of him I say.

Just watching Newcastle v Gold Coast and the way that Ponga is playing at 5/8th, that is what Amone isn't doing and we need a 5/8th who can play like a Fittler and Ponga and several other 5/8ths. Amone is shit and piss weak. He has just got to go.
We have a number of reserve graders playing first grade at the moment, Amone is on that list, as are the Fegai brothers.

Similar with Hunt, if it turns out they are just being loyal.. I cant fault them on that.. but the proof will be in how they act under the new coach.. or the interim for that matter.

If people are frothing at the mouth now, then just look at the upcoming games . We are almost no chance to win any!
Already we know that we are done like a dinner this year FlameThrower. Many of us forecast that we would lose these "weaker" games and I think that we are deadset odds on to not win any, maybe one at best, of the remaining games the way that things have panned out with new coach, sacking of players etc. To me, the club is running on crisis mode and there is no-one capable of diffusing the unrest and divide running through the club.

The Board is so useless, lame and unprofessional and I would not employ any of them in any business whatsoever. I am completely mad and if they cannot fix this, like as soon as possible, and get it right for the future without any band aid patchwork, then my following this mob will be well and truly be over.

Hook won't be sacked. He will sweet talk his way out of the humiliating loss of today with some lame excuses. The Board won't budge. Any thought of a new coach to come to us next year is fading away. We are a basket case plain and simple and the ones being pursued are going to say see you later - don't come knocking on my door. We voice our disappointment and express our dislikes of the coach and the players and if Bird thinks that we are wrong, he can just eff off.

We have so many reasons to complain that it has gone beyond even writing about it now. Words don't have any affect on the Board, Club, Coach, Players because they think that they are doing their best and should not be criticised.

Hasler, Richo, Brown or Ryles, Richo, Brown - no way that this will happen - i just cannot see it and it will be the same shit for years to come. A bit pessimistic I know but can anyone actually see any real light at the end of the million kilometre long tunnel?
We will find out in 24/40 hours if you are right. If nothing happens hope those attending the red v in the gong hold Webby Haran & Lancaster hostage until Hookis sacked. Could make the National news to advertise our plight!

100% on all of the above.......It's still got me stuffed how we gave Liddle a 2 year extension then dropped him...........it defies logic the shit thats taking place in this circus atm......if you had a devious mind one would dare to think sabotage is alive and well in some quarters
