I’m happy for Ricky to waste this season if it means Croker, SIA, Rapana, Simmo are out of the first grade team...

And we learn to play with a back on the bench

Disappointing.
A bit of 2016 would be nice.

Need to think about dealing with some of our sacred cows.

I've never seen a team that passes so poorly out of dummy half that the catcher needs to stop and prop to catch it

He's barely above Aekins' level. BARELY
Go get me the average score against for games CNK plays you idiot.
:lol:

You can't be serious
So it’s a coincidence we’re a boss defensive unit for 2 years. CNK goes and we’re in disarray.
If your mind and thinking is so simple that you are genuinely attributing the correlation of this to the cause based on two games, then there is zero point in proceeding with you here

Horrid second half.
The service out of dummy-half has been poor all game, killing any momentum.
Our kicking game was beyond poor.
Our outside backs were poor both in defence and attack.
In fact, everything was poor, except for Ryan Sutton.

Williams is so over rated it’s not funny
Hodgson is becoming overused as well in a hurry

Williams just needs to be told to run forward. Hodgo just that bit quicker and more accurate with the passing out of dummy half. Otherwise, yes.

Fair list but I think Williams is being forced to play with no time because our gassed hooker can’t get the ball to him...
Shame we don’t have 3 hookers on the bench to replace him with..

I'm surprised the moderators allowed you to post this. I posted a comment that they should measure negative run metres for Croker as he gets pushed back but they deleted it.

i also had a comment that we should let West Tigers/Broncos/Canterbury /Nth Qld sign him but was deleted

This. Mid-season review is needed urgently.

Start picking the players who need to be picked and go to market for backs.

Absolutely terrible.
Our highest paid players need to have a good look in the mirror, wighton, Papalii, Croker just woeful.

Tapine played soft also

The coach needs to cop some of the blame again also, selecting 3 middle forwards and a hooker is asking for trouble.

How did the two Coreys look like in reserves today?
What about Timoko and Valemei?
We need a reconstruction.

I was really confident we'd win tonight.

Aekins provides us with what CNK does.
Happy with that.

The bench is all wrong.

I'd like to see both Corey's play next week. Kris as well.

Anyone see how Valemei went today?

That was pretty shattering hey.

Surely has to serve as a wake up call to the team, and more importantly, to Stuart.

After our loss to the Panthers all our club spoke about was about the way the panthers celebrated. maybe our club should concentrate on improving so we have something to celebrate.Each week we try an find an excuse as to why we lost, the number one reason if lack of effort.

I mentioned this at half time but Papalli was poor...
Did he lose muscle during his boxing preparation?
He just looks weaker than normal through the middle....less impactful.
Also, as good as Sutton has been he needs to come off the bench...he was gassed and loses his impact when forced to do long minutes

To be fair Papalli has looked less than ideal all season. I just assumed this was the plan to start slow and be primed for the back end of the year

I think the Cowboys will beat us - they have the pace. Our defence and attack are s@#$%
We hamper ourselves with the bench and team selections - Croker, Sia, Bailey, Havili no longer deserve a place in this team

Dreadful game. Rapana strong out of yardage, Sutton good, some brave plays from Aekins, Hodgson, Wighton poor, forward pack got rolled again. Scott and Croker not effective.

Ricky has some tough calls to make this year. Some of these guys aren’t good enough to win a premiership...

He is well off his best. We are still very reliant on him.

CNK organises our defence and when it fails he finds ways to stop tries. Ive said it for years he is our most critical player. Sure he doesn't offer much in attack, but attack isn't what has got us to a gf and prelim the past couple of years. Baring the warriors game our defence was good this year before CNK went down. I honestly don't think we'll win another game without him.
