  Thats why I'm pro Kearney.

  But if its a matter of waiting for the training to become second nature then I'm going to follow the rest of this season in a daze of dissapointment.

  I am very pro Kearney, But i am very VERY confused by putting in B.Rogers over A.Mitchell of even Webb????

  Wtf was that about, He only played Rogers for 20 mins.... Put moved McGuire off for 30 mins or so i think???

  if his that blind or heartless to drop players with week in week out poor performances, i will continue to blame him.

  I personally think the idea of this, has been to start getting Hayne into six with the idea of that being a longer-term transition. Of course, Hayne screwed that idea up by getting binned around the same time that coach would have started thinking about giving Casey a break.

   

  Billy Rogers has just about the best tackling technique of any player I've seen - I understand why that might impress coaches but he just has nothing in attack and gives no balance to a second row already containing Hindmarsh and Smith.

  The biggest thing I am flummoxed by, is his non-selection of Webb. Especially with Moimoi starting, we really need a forward continuing that roll on. I really like Allgood, and he's a great long-term prospect but right now he's a number five or six prop and should be used when we have injuries, not keeping out State of Origin class players.

  I don't think the team is underachieving so I can't blame SK. He has been given a terrible roster IMO.

   

  But... he has made planety of mistakes too.

   

  I didn't have a problem with Webb not being picked as I thought he couldn'ty play more than 20 mins... But doesn't look like he needs him for more than 20. Dumb decision not to play him given rogers didn't come on until 65th min.

   

  Furthermore, we don't have a huge defensive problem in general play... but our goal line D is a MASSIVE PROBLEM!!! I think his selections are adding to the problem. We need some size added and some smarts....

  so sk has to convince hayne to play 6 slowly but surely. sk tell him to play 6 whether he likes it or not.

  as for webb great against cowboys and we win so he dumps him great stuff

    Agree, I'm not saying I agree with all of Kearney's decisions - I can understand why he's making those decisions because I can see the messages they are all sending and I think in the early part of the season that's important. It's time for that to end now, and he needs to start picking people regardless of whether they are good trainers or not.

  I tend to agree. If we continue to try and carry two 5'9/5'10 halves, in addition to an 18 yo centre and a winger with about a dozen NRL games to his name, we're obviously going to struggle in that regard. There are just two many weak spots for it all to hold together.
