We just completely need a wake up call.
This is ridiculous.
Instead of just posting your own team lists, can you just add what you would change to my side.
Sackings-
Robson
BOLD=THEY ARE HOLDING THEIR POSITION
1.Hayne- (Obvious)
2.Burt- (Adds consistancy and is a good finisher)
3.Reddy- (Consistant and reliable)
4.Tahu- (Jeez, he needs to step up but we need him firing)
5.Grothe- (Our ticket to get out of the red zone)
6.Mortimer- (Mmm, what can you say about Mortimer ATM?)
7.K Keating- (Obvious)
8.Moimoi- (Obvious)
9.M Keating-
10.Mannah (Need to show the old fellas how its done,seems like he is the only one with passion.
15-Smith (Needs to start, but with 15 on his back, hes a Hindy, but can attck too!)
12.Cayless- (He needs to make the switch to the second row, purely as we need to metre eaters on to start the match.)
13.Mateo- (He adds spark, but can lack knowlege on when to and not to offload.
14.Inu- (Exactly what we need coming off the bench.)
11.Hindmarsh- (He is just looking so so average at the moment and he has the softest run.
16.Poore- (Needs to step up soon, even though he made good metres against the sharks)
17.Oake- (Proving that he can step up and play good footy.)
18.Horo- (we dont lose much if injury strikes.)
19.Humble/Mitchell- (If all else fails, we might as well?)
I dont want anyone calling for Pele, or calling for Robson to hold his spot.

1. Hayne (Step back a bit in attack and don't try to do everything. Improve defensive positional play a bit)
2. Inu (Solid defender, good finisher and had a great combo with Tahu)
3. Reddy (Other than the odd defensive mishap by leaving his winger in no mans, first centre picked)
4. Tahu (Needs defensive confidence for his inside team mates. Find feet again in NRL NOW)
5. Grothe (Huge asset. Equally at fault as his inside man with defensive lapses. Better ball security at times)
6. Burt (No worse defensively than any of our 6's, creative, best support player, a level head to support our 7)
7. KK or Morts (1 or the other but not both. Can both be brilliant on their day but equally bad as well. Morts has been a yard or 2 behind the rest of the team so far and KK still seems to go to one out)
8. Cayless (bagged to the sheet house but still is going better than most. Possibly looks worse in attack because he does more tackling than our other props)
9. MK ( Consistency needed. At times seems lost at what to do, makes it hard for our pack to roll over ad line)
10. Fui (Not at his best as yet but still.. he is Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuiiiiiiiiii)
11. Hindy (Looks like he is playing busted, forget the pain you are pivotal in this team)
12. Smith (Probably our best forward so far this year. Certainly is aggressive)
13. Mateo (Enthusiasm for the harder stuff. It is not all flashiness. Will benefit from having support)
14. Poore ($$$$, step up. You seem comfortable to just trot around)
15. Mannah (Commitment spot on. I don't want him starting just yet, his impact of the bench is needed)
16. Oake or Horo (Oake for experience, Horo for aggression. Can't pick between them)
17. Robson ( Can play 6, 7, 9 and maybe 13. Getting hammered because whole team has been poor)
Overall we have to increase our line speed and aggression in defence. We have to work some metre gaining plays before sending it to our playmakers. Play as a team and support our playmakers. Decide who our team organiser is going to be and let them call the shots. We seem to have a few too many chiefs at the moment and not enough indians.
Now you have given me the bl**dy image of Hindmarsh doing Soward's little prancing pony routine.... thankyou very much. :-)
