So we were diabolical this week and have fuck all chance of winning next week so changes need to happen.
The best change would be BA fired but unfortunately that won't happen.
My team next week.
1. Talagi (Gutho needs a break)
2. Simonsson (Russell is utter garbage)
3. Penisini
4. Harper (no other choice)
5. Sivo
6. Brown (this is his best position)
7. Sanders (the Brown at 7 experiment has failed)
8. Ofahengaue.
9. Hands (he is average but Lussick is worse)
10. RCG
11. Tualagi (Lane doesn't look interested)
12. Cartwright
13. Hopgood
14. Matterson
15. Paulo
16. Greig
17. Moretti

Eh doesn't matter now. I was always a BA supporter but his lost the room, I think all us fans need a change and it's time for one. Unless something dramatically changes in coming weeks a care taker needs to take over and sign another coach. I would love Bennett or let's see how Madge goes in origin this year
"We are not in a hurry to replace Gutho because he is our captain and we can’t win without him, he’s pretty important to us."
And there is why we have a problem atm
I have been impressed with Tualagi and surprised he was the one dropped. Seems also Cartwright is playing injured so may be best to rest him.
Russell is a great back up Fullback. He needs to know that's his position and his highest outcome for his career. 200k a year and a back up role is the reality of his ability and opportunity.
You could do worse than 200k a year for 5-8 years.
BA is scared to have this conversation so now he is bouncing between Wing and Centre and struggling because he isn't suited there.
BA is a terrible terrible coach and selfish person, he is ruining people's careers and future because he is too egotistical to listen and learn from others and so stubborn he will let things die.
Sivo has been so poorly managed throughout his career that he is playing NSW cup when he should be one of the first picked weekly.
Moretti is average at best. Gutherson is a Centre. Harper is not and has never been NRL standard and the whole league and community knows that. Talagi wants to be a Fullback so let's play him there and fast track his development.
Allan Fitzgibbon is just sitting in NSW cup waiting for an opportunity and is better than half of the wingers in the NRL.
No other teams that win comps try and persist with 80 minute hookers except us. Lussick is physically AND mentally exhausted, his coach is dissolving his career right infront of us all. It's complete garbage player management. It's bordering on malpractice. With Hands, on of the best #14s in the comp sitting in cup.
Total commitment to 'Up and In' 'jamming' defence is amateur level coaching. Literally an unfathomable philosophy. Teams have all really committed to exploiting it now and they simply can't compete with the plays that have been designed to exploit this.
This needs to end. Today. Pack his desk up and tap him on the shoulder. This is not about making the 8 or the GF, this is about respect for the supporters. We deserve change.
