Walker dropped

[HunchoRooster]

Do you believe premierships are decided in April?

If we make it to the finals without injuries the Panthers will be shitting themselves.

They aren't won in April but I recall losses to the Knights, Dogs and Saints in and around April being a strong contributing factor as to why we didn't go deep in the finals last year. We were the 2nd best team in the comp last year and ran 6th. Go figure.

Good comedy this place. “Our halves are rubbish!” says the chookpen when we lose a couple of games. Coach does something about it, “the coach has no idea!” is the response.

They wanted Keary to retire as well

Nope - the folk dishing the Hutchinator week in week do though - their lives go into somewhat melt down mode because Coach Robinson has the audacity to select the Hutchinator in the side each week.

The Walker relegation from the run on side - it's like a personal insult to them that Coach Robinson had made such decision - It's the end of world as we know it

If peoples lives revolve around the success or otherwise of a sporting team they follow and what players are selected to play then they really need to re-assess their own lives one has to honestly say

It's only a game of football in the end and win lose or draw there is another game next week - same as another season next year if they don't win this season.

Mate your life revolves around 3 things. Posting detailed statistics of rugby league games, posting pictures of Drew Hutchison and replying to people who question the inclusion of Drew Hutchison, sometimes bringing him up when people don't even mention it.

If anything, I've remained consistent and actually said it would make sense for Drew to take a place in the halves given he is a specialist half with a solid long kicking game. Whilst I wouldn't love Hutch over Walker in the halves, it would make more sense than bringing him on for a handful of minutes every week to play out of position for the sake of giving him a run.

You need help

Nope - the folk dishing the Hutchinator week in week definitely do though - their lives go into melt down mode because Coach Robinson has the audacity to select the Hutchinator in the side each week.

The Same folk still banging on about it on here week in week out ad nauseam

We signed Lodge because had too many ageing and injured forwards early in the season which contributed to those losses. Without Lodge we don't go on the winning streak. Even if we had beaten Dogs and Dragons and still decided to sign Lodge, we needed to beat the Storm to ensure a top 4 spot. It was chasing victory in the Storm game which ended our season due to JWH busted hand and Collins suspension.

More importantly. Think about the winning streak. It was due to the best front row rotation in the comp with JWH/SST/Lodge/Collins. Last week we had several missing forwards and an underdone Lodge. We have massive upside in our forwards, and still with the likes of Brown and Napa to potentially play a part later on.

100%

It is astonishing the number of Chicken Littles in here this year and as you said it is only April.

Usually we are laughing at Parra and the Dragons being on top of the ladder at this time of year and laughing at their supporters.

This year we are 2 points off second position, no team looks to be dominating, it looks a much easier comp this year than last year and barring injury we should have a fully fit team in a few weeks. It is all about injuries for us this year (like the last three years). If the injury gods have moved on we will be primed come September.

Thats hilarious, you aren't chicken little, but you must live in pixie land..... we are 9th and should be 10th if everyone had their bye.
we are 100 points for and against worse than Penrith, we have worse for and against than teams below us.
We probably need to win 75% of our remaining games to make the top 4. If we don't make top 4 we won't make the GF, let alone win the comp.
We are pinning our hopes on players returning from long term injuries and players we picked up cheaply because they are out of form.
We are in a huge struggle, I hope we can pull out of it but the signs don't look good, any injury to Teddy or Keary and we are in deep shiit.
While Hutch is considered a certainty for our starting 17 times are tough.

Yep, agree with all that 100% but surely we had enough in the tank to beat those 3 aforementioned teams even pre-Lodge. Anyways, that's been and gone now and hopefully clicks about 6 weeks earlier for us this year.

Personally NSK I think its worse than that. I think we are relying on Keary to become 2018 Keary again, waiting for Manu to score 3 tries on his own and waiting for Teddy to create stuff out of nothing. There doesn't seem to be any other plan in place from the coaching staff. Otherwise its crash ball to the 2nd row or clipping up for Toops to knock it back into traffic.

Worth noting that the Riff have been playing well below their potential and have been rusty, particularly defensively yet they have far better defensive record than us at present and have had a harder run yet have lost only twice both only by 1 pt. They will get a lot better even though they are currently better than us by a long way as it stands.

I get a funny feeling that Robbo actually doesn't GAFF what anyone thinks. But that's just me.
FFS



Too funny

I reckon he would in some way. He knows how important the fans are to the game. Without fans the team doesn't exist.

It's a results driven job that he has. He knows that his results would be getting scrutinised.

Ah look I tried to give you the benefit of the doubt and play along with your rubbish and get a half decent conversation out of you. But you can add me to the list of people who think you are a fukwit now. Absolute dribble. Turned into a parody account my dude.

I couldn't give a xxxx what anonymous nobodies like they and you think - Kevin Bloody Wilson comes to mind - you know the song

Your posts are pure gibberish to say the least - clueless twaddle

Don't call me dude and keep secretly supporting your Dragons although the cats out of the bag in who you really barrack for isn't it

Who is 'they'? And does that mean you're an "anonymous somebody"? Sounds like you've cracked the shit's 'dude'. I've gotten you to post something other than stats nobody asked for and pictures of Hutch.

A win for the good guys.

PS: Ur right I've got Ben Creagh pyjamas at home, secret St George fan for days all because I'm standing up for our young halfback... jog on you absolute tosspot.

You crack me up old man.

I don't know what people are getting upset about, we had so many tackles in the sharks 20 and our attack was pedestrian.

Maybe he has peaked, and maybe we were really looking at Moses a few weeks ago but he was too much.

Got anything better than that? tell me where I got the facts wrong.
Take the rose coloured glasses off and smell the shiit we are in.
