Thompson and Kata to ISP

I'm trying to find room for Tof, but it's tough.

Kearney cannot overlook CNK and Afoa. He just can't.

Vete's mistakes hurt - if he could get them down a bit he'd be lovely (he's not quite at Lisone-back-third-of-2016 level, but he's not that far off it either). Until then, I'll have me some Tof please. Aside from that I'm going with Meth's team.

 

[playdaball]

I just don't want to see Kata or Thompson there. Give Roache a spell in NSW cup and replace with Toff. RTS or CNK can fill in at dummy if need be. I still believe that Ben's best position is 2nd row.

 

[JJ]

Lol my money is on Thompson and Kata playing. Ayshford will be the one to go if he wants CNK back or Manu ever returns

Drop a guy for doing his job but retain two that aint? He'd be really thinking outside the square on that one. I know you're joking btw.

Let's be confident that Bodene sits out a few from here on in. If not then Mooks needs his head read.

Not 100% joking, Ayshford is always one mediocre game from being dropped whereas all things considered he's been the best signing by far in recent years

We have a bunch of assistant coaches running the joint it's embarrassing

Aysh is definitely a fall-guy.

Roache wasted on bench as is injury cover only.
Hoffman/ Thompson gone. Full stop.
Kata to Res Grade
Tevaga covers for Luke @9 if needed
Maumalo plays as there's no one else
Pick which ever Sipley playing best but they need to start getting 1st grade action

 

[vvvrulz]

Yeah I'm a bit over Hoffman too, lately he's only cashing in his paycheck.

I've had a premonition... sweeping changes

HEAD COACH | STEPHEN KEARNEY

Kearney quoted "we don't make kneejerk changes from the process, the lads are close, not far away. These losses are only a problem if we discuss them"

 

[vvvrulz]

If we field that team again, we chalk up another loss. End of story.

Sure, but does anyone believe that he will change it??

He'll say they won the game before last, and have improved since the Penrith wake up call

Nah. No balls. Kearney hasn't shown me any innovation, he seems to have restricted thinking particularly in player selections. The team is practically the same as Cappys. The only change he tried to make was to fix something that wasn't broken and that was with Fusitua. All his experience playing as a second rower and he goes and meddles with the backs while our second rowers Hoffman and Thompson seem to be getting worse.

Our front row seems to be getting better though. Luke, Gavet and Matulino having being stepping up every week. Lilyman is consistently strong as ever quietly going about his work and the same for Mannering.

Same team, same inconsistent performances that will see our boys WATCH finals footy this year.

...Same team, same inconsistent performances that will see our boys WATCH finals footy this year.

Will the NRL finals be available for viewing in that resort in Santorini? Probably more chance they can see it in somewhere like Koh Phi Phi, Seminyak or Castaway Island, if they're really keen. I'm sure they know the drill by now.

As expected, love it!!!

"I'll make those calls after I get a feel for it all, after looking at the tape yesterday and again in the next couple of days," said Kearney.

"One thing I'm really mindful of is making drastic decisions, but the same group of players put in a consistent performance the week before (against Brisbane).

"That's one thing I know about consistency, if you keep changing it all of the time you're not going to get it. But I'll make those decisions over the next couple of days."

All the lads need is another reggies team to play against - he's getting consistency, and he's focused on the game against the Broncos B side

 

[Warriorsoul]

Soooo... If he's keen on consistency, why drop CNK after 4 excellent games? There's no logic to what he says

Cappy might've convinced Mooks that the young man has some 'work ons'. He fluffed that try, remember.
