I would like the see the following for the rest of the year.
1. Simpkin 9 with Nu Brown at 14.
2. Hastings and Doueihi in the halves
3. Stefano and Musgrove starting props, Twal and Tamou on the bench.
4. One of our young backrowers given a go instead of Kelma.
In memory of Geoff Chisholm (1965-2022)
pathetic
the forwards are a joke
having douhie on bench was as dumb as Madden last week
with injuries douhie has to play centre, he is better than To'a and AJ
Hastings playing injured
Brooks has no confidence at all
maybe we need
7. Brooks
6. Douhie
13. Hastings
go and buy Lodge for our pack our forwards are a joke,
stop playing kelma T he is going to Manly and is crap play Pole or anyone move Joffa and play Hastings or Douhie
if liddle is going to be shown the door don't play him just play simpkin or Brown or both as we have Api for 2023
2023 to be any chance we will need Brooks Hastings and Douhie all on the park

I don't think Hastings is injured. I think he's just nowhere near as good as we thought he was. Brooks tonight was as bad as any halfback performance this year. He has no business being in first grade. Go with AD and Hastings in the halves for the rest of the year and see what happens. With the exception of AD and Stef there are no players worth fighting to keep
The board and CEO are sure to be feeling more pressure after that performance.
Sopranos fishing trip. Lee, Pascoe, Tim go out. which 2 come back?
None, the boat sinks and all are lost.
@avocadoontoast Brooks worst game tonight for sure, he did make 20 or 30 odd tackles I know doesn't explain the bad kicks but geez they run traffic at him a fair bit
don't think AD is a 6 at all he is a 13 or centre
100% Declan Hastings looked way off the pace today. Is he injured??
Keep steering the right path
Did C Ciraldo see his (so called) squad play today ??
Keep steering the right path
I feel more confident after listening to Garry, in relation to Ciraldo. Hope he is right.
I’d like to know what spin or con our illustrious CEO is going to tell its members why we should keep handing over our hard earned money.

That performance this afternoon was absolutely abysmal.
Considering our so called CEO (🤬)was the one that fired Potter……..
100% Declan Hastings looked way off the pace today. Is he injured??
If you watch Hastings at the scrum base - or behind the line - he's been standing with one foot wrapped behind the other trying to stretch out his calf - he's clearly still hampered by a foot, ankle or achilles injury and it wouldn't surprise me if he's being needled up. He was still in a moon boot up until last week IIRC. He's also not doing the goal kicking which he had exclusively before he was hurt.
Tonight was a forwards issue. Twal injured early, lack of line speed, couldn't bend the line, too many offloads (I swear TPJ offloaded EVERY time he took a run), laziness at the ruck and not enough support from the anaemic bench. Kelma and Garner both played 80 minutes, Joffa 77. All this led to massive fatigue. It doesn't matter how fit you are, you can still be fatigued.
Hastings and Brooks tried hard but had little ball or field position to play with. Despite missing a bomb, Nofo played pretty well and Laurie showed glimpses but the rest of the backs were terrible. I feel a bit for Liddle - he made 46 tackles in 65 minutes and gets heavily targeted by the opposition. Poor bloke has nothing left for attack and that stops our go forward.
I try to find a positives out of games but today was just shocking.
