Oh mighty Hagan, for ye have been forsaken by the ravenous fans of blue and gold. For they tortured and ridiculed you until breaking point, pointing the finger at what they least not know.

The ripple in the river of justice is cascading ever so slightly, soaking the hands of many with impure guilt. May your souls rest in peace when the water turns once again to blood.

May the coach, rest in peace.

I'm willing to bet they dont run out as named.

Interesting to see Graham dropped from TYC, wonder if it was for his defensive lapses.

I still think its our forwards who are the biggest problem.Think how many times has robson or mateo had the chance to do there stuff.When we are in the red zone hayne has nearly always put someone over the line.
Quicker play the balls and forwards running hard will turn it round.I would say Inu and Horo where two of our better players in recent weeks thou

I agree that the forwards are the problem but ffs Mateo has been the worst of them alll. He would be the first player to be dropped, he has man so many errors this year. I would drop him first and replace him with Poore and have Smith at lock. That would help our goforward aswell with Cayless, Fui and Poore all being able to play around 60min.

I think KK is the better suited to halfback then Robson but our current form isnt robsons fault, we just can hold the ball and the main offenders are Grothe and Mateo. Hayne has made errors but IMO they are when we are attacking and Tahu had an off night with his hands last match but these Mateo and Grothe loss the ball in positions that put us under pressure deep in our own half.

Is it just me or does anybody else think Robson logs on to this forum as well !!
Best of luck anyway. With him at 7 only luck can save us!!

If Robbo read what's in these pages he'd go batty.

lets look at it this way, the boys had 3 days off and are due back tomorrow, teams have to be named for media tuesday arvo.
Would you like to find out your dropped via a newspaper or internet forum?
Soon as i heard the players weren't due back til wednesday i knew he would name a side similar to what we have been using so far.
If anyone is dropped then he would want to tell them face to face and tell them why.
So i don't think this side is the side that will run out on Monday night nor do I think Ando will throw the baby out with the bath water.

i have to agree.....when i read about the 3 days off i wondered the same thing, would he ring them up and tell them they had been dropped before reading about it???? all he has done so far is put Burt and Smith back in and named an extended bench, based on order of merit in the team and numbers of games.....also he may not want to have all the emdia spotlight on K Keating all week....

having said that i hope he does (shudder.....) pull a Brian Smith come Monday night and ring the late changes because otherwise, 3 days off or not, good last year or not, the team is just not functioning properly under its current atatcking structure, change is needed.....

This is exactly my point! People should be dropped based on performance, not who they are. We had enough chances to win that game on Saturday night. Did you watch it? If you did, go watch it again and tell me Robson's game was worse than Tahu.

Ya one or two games big deal. Tahu will win way more games than he loses. Robson on the other hand ... Ok I don't want to continue on that bloke. People come to see the 1,6,7,9 do some magic but he in 7 is driving people away. Boring is one word to describe him.

As I said before best of luck to him. :)

Gather round my friends, I have a very grave prediction...

I see us winning this Monday night against the Raiders, and the team remaining quite the same to the one named.

I see bitter disappointment however, if Robson is to remain at halfback. We will not win the premiership with him in this position.

I sense a season ending injury to come out of the game on Monday.

You are blaming the wrong person for the current (team) form slump. But as you said, he is not a superstar, so drop him even though he was not the worst player on the field.

As soon as our forwards hold the ball, run in pairs and start to offload you will start to see football that is not boring.

With him at 7 our attack will always be in a slump and what will result in desperation is throwing the ball around and hoping hayne throws the last pass !! It worked last year let's just HOPE it works this year again!!

Besides Mitchell who else really is a chance to break into the top side??? Did people expect Ando to sack half the team??? I think Robbo deserves one more chance and hopefully the forwards pull their fingers out.

Horo for Oake and INU will be a bit stiff to miss out, doubt DA has many other options.

i don't believe in mass changes as well.

And Robson is not the only one to blame, their is a whole heap of them Including the whole damn forward pack except for Smith and Horo.

But Robson is devoid of any talent of being a halfback. Except for for making tackles. Apart from the attitude change, This is the only change I want.


Amen to that,

Anderson im sure knows what he is doing.

Not happy just read the lineup.

How has Robson kept his spot and Inu been given the boot?
Is Anderson watching the same game as we are...

Can anyone give me a good reason why Robson is still there and Inu given the boot?

as parra-matters said in another thread ando gave the team 3 days off to get their heads together so he may be holding off announcing team changes until he's had a chance to break the news to players himself
