What does everyone think Smith meant by "making changes"

[Funky Chicken]

what does everyone think Smith meant by his "making changes" comment in both TV/Audio/Press media conferences.

does he :

- change game plan/playing style
- drop some of the deadwood
- change captains
- just positional changes
- mid season signings/releases
- end of season roster overhaul

unfortunately I don't think Smith has the guts/authority to make some of the changes needed to revive our fortunes, Anasta/Graham/Riddell need to be dropped as they are not adding anything positive in regards on field performance, Mini needs to be shifted back to the wing he no longer provides the thrust needed from the back and his constant belief he is our playmaker is throwing out the attacking balance.

in all likelyhood our season is already over, after today we will already 2 wins and a significant percentage out of the top 8 and clearly not playing well enough to get enough points over coming weeks to start to bridge the gap.

we need to make some big decisions regarding our 2012 roster shortly and there would be more long term benefit to give the likes of Tasi/Arona/Goodwin/Linnett/Naughton/Kheirallah/J.Carney more time in the top grade to see if they are viable options going forward.

with Carney/Perrett/Watts/Cherro all unavailable for various reasons, I would like to see a lineup something like this :

1.Kheirallah
2.Mini
3.Linnett
4.SKD
5.Naughton
6.Symonds
7.Pearce
8.Kennedy
9.Friend
10.JWH
11.Maubs
12.Leilua
13.Myles (capt)
14.Masoe
15.Conn
16.Tasi
17.Goodwin

and yes I know Anasta will never be dropped but you can always dream.

I would have Arona in before Conn, Goodwin or Masoe. Arona is a definate keeper and just oozes class. I think we need to lock him up for a few years.

Agreed. Only 21 too. I believe his contract is up this year.

Linnett was front and centre.

Good, his dropping was ridiculous.

[Billy Gunn]

I think he just meant changing the jersey

Totally agree on Arona..
The guy has talent,and he is still only young and wants to stay at the Club!
Sign him up!

One marker.

He would train with the first grade squad even when he is turning out for the Jets. I wouldn't assume he is playing first grade next week.

He is a keeper for sure.

He meant changes of scenery. So Braith gets to go to the Whitsunday, some of the players are just going to go bar hopping on the Gold Coast, Tom because of his red hair is allowed to go whereever he likes.

A coaching master stroke.

I expect big things next time we play.
