Buzz reality check

[Thirteen]

Our side is deserving of all the criticism it gets. We had big expectations at the start of the season and we’ve been absolute rubbish. We lost to one side we should have lapped and we lost to another side we should have beaten convincingly.

I have no doubt we can turn it around but it better begin soon.

[DP1990]

And Radley on the wing.

And Manu as hooker.

[Thirteen]

And Manu as hooker.

Of course!

Exactly! I'm not saying we need to sack everybody or anything like that, but we need the boys to be under fire right now. If people are happy with is getting belted by Souffs 4 years in a row then cool, but I personally think we can do better than that.

That's why I'm p!ssed... we CAN and SHOULD be doing better! Souffs weren't that great last week, we were just soft carnts!

Sack em all and recruit the entire All Blacks squad from across the ditch !? ... cheaper option to ensure salary cap compliance would be to keep our current spine plus Rads at lock and then add the Fijian Rugby 7s squad to fill in the remaining 12 spots !?



Modern Problems Require Modern Solutions !!!

Hutch played well at half last season
Keighran is listed in his club profile as a 5/8.
Trent played Walker off the bench last season, with some success.
Keighran can kick goals from the sideline, he won't get them all but he'll get some.

BB can you please list your preferred side and positions from 1-17 out of our current squad?

That would be awesome and very entertaining.

Let me guess BBs pack would be:

Jarred
Baker
Saluka-Fafita
Tapuha
Manu
Collins

7 Hutch
6 keighran
5 Radley
4 SST
3 Gus
2 Toops
1 Teddy

however Gus would need to add 5-10kgs to hold his spot.

Cheers - not bad but I was hoping for more entertainment than that.

I think/hope Billy Smith will come good. He showed before his injuries he was pretty classy in the limited opportunities he had. Three games back now he should hopefully be getting some confidence in his body holding up. I imagine that is very much on his mind so far.

looking forward to Verills getting back as well - then we have Watson doing the job we got him for - that utility with more spark than a champion!

Well done BB, like to see
Momirovski as back up 5/8 to Keary as well. Wonder how Trent hasn't thought of it.

I thought you wanted Rads on the wing.

[bondi.boy]

I thought you wanted Rads on the wing.

That could be next week, depending on what happens this game.

I picked Keary 5/8 and Momirovski left centre to try to recreate our "lethal left side" with Toops.

Are u worried about kearys size? Like he is very small and has only won 3 comps and just the 1 Clive Churchill. Jared 5/8th

The teams he played in then are far different from the one he's playing in now.
Those teams allowed him to shine, were organised and protected him...all except at Newcastle when he got smashed.

And he was a 5/8...and with us had Cronk as 7.
