I try not to be reactionary on here but my lord what on earth is this line-up? I am sure this won't be the final 17 (hoping anyway). We are playing for our season every week going forward. Keary can't be helped and playing Manu at 6 takes a bit of guts from Robbo so i'll forgive Momo being in the 17.

That bench gives me no hope. Honestly, some of you guys like to justify Hutch selection and I somewhat agree he is good injury cover in the HALVES but why is he coming off the bench. He provides absolutely nothing in that role. Can't go more than 10 mins without getting gassed. Doesn't have the service from dummy half and doesn't have the size to defend in the middle. Why aren't we letting May develop?! He's raw but runs hard. Add in Nat at prop and we are sorely lacking serious size. Nat will do a job but he has no grunt against a decent forward pack. If we lose today, Robbo must seriously own this loss.

You can’t just select a team on effort. We’ve lost 4 games straight yet the effort was there. We need players with go forward, who can make breaks, offloads, break tackles etc and not just tackle. There are only a handful of players who are making a real impact, the rest are reserve grade baggage or overhyped greats. Losing four straight is proof the current team just doesn’t cut it in this competition and it’s wishful thinking that ‘they’ll come good’. It’ll be 2025 before we can build a strong enough team. So many of our players are just overhyped by fans and media. The reality on the ground speaks differently.

It was. About to cut loose was Braith's nickname during his brief STOOL tenure.
