Which players would you actually keep?

[magpie4ever]

I reckon Brooks, Moses and Sironen have plenty of talent and they have shown that talent. I think the coach isn't getting the most out of them.

No use reckoning, they have got to show it in the real world, on the pitch on game day.

None of them should be on the rumoured contracts they are on. Seriously struggling to be competent 1st graders at this stage and don't seriously tell me they are.

Just maybe you are looking at them through rose-coloured glass.

I'm seriously over the bloody club, worst roster in the comp.

Yes we need backs but we need forwards asap..our pack besides tapau simply doesn't penetrate.
Roosters and south's have won comps recently on the back of their packs....south's in particular had a pretty average backline (except gi)...but their pack was so dominant their backline had time and room..
We need quality -not just affordable forwards....
But from what I hear of our cap status that may be years away...

Sirro suffers from being shoehorned into a role that he shouldn't be. He's got some ball skills, why is he just running these outside in lines on the fringes when he can barely bend the line?

I think that Brooks and Moses already are showing it. I think Sirro will as well if our moron coach tries to get the most out of him as a player.

I also don't think our roster is that bad. We are seriously short in the outside backs category but that is the really poor area. We also have some quality there in Simona and Nofo and Naiqama as a lower paid player is fine. The thing is that leaves 2 spots where we need a lot better than Lawrence and Richards and that is assuming we have no injuries to our gun players in Nofo and Simona. We've had both Simona and Nofo out and that leaves our outside backs as probably the worst in the comp.

The question is do I have rose-coloured glasses or not.

One or two plays a game doesn't make a match. Definitely rose coloured glasses, champion.

Only 3 players would spark interest from other clubs - Teddy, Woods & Taupau. Farah is a shot duck

Too blame only Lawrence, Richards & the coach shows they're very thick ones.

I agree. If he hadn't put on so much bulk and lostt what little agility he had, he would've slotted in reasonably well at centre for a season as preparation for his move to the back row.

Everything was fast tracked. You now have a slow oversized Moses as a back rower.

I can't blame Sironen for that. The coaches are responsible for his transition into new roles and his development.

And with Siro,he's been f**ked over immensely

Sue is the only one missing from that list that I'd hang on to.

I don't think the club seem too keen on him but stats wise Ava hasn't been too bad off the bench. I know he has a few mistakes in him but when used correctly I think he is the equal to Sue so I'd consider keeping him. Certainly as a bench player.

One thing I do know is the bench, since we lost Gavet and started games with Taupau has lost its sting. I know Taupau wants to start games but he has gone backwards doing that, he has been less effective in most games by starting, well in my opinion he has. That guy should be running at tired forwards and opposition little guys, not getting knocked about early in games.

I said before we should be looking to buy players...I just think is there anyone available for next year. Do any of you stats guys know for certain what back rowers and centres we can chase?

No, the question is how do you manage to get 17 pairs of the bastards onto your face before posting.

Forwards & bench are not up to nrl std & the jury is out on the coach.I don't like him but don't want to persecute him just yet as he inherited this pack of fairies.

The great Jonathan Thurston would struggle playing behind our substandard pack.

Anyway I'm so fed up with our ineptitude that I will give the beloved Leichhardt oval a rare miss next week & watch game @ a pub while imbibing a dozen jd's.
