Metcalf isn't going to make a difference and needs more game time IMO.

SJ can own it and see out the season.

Leave TMM in cup and hopefully he qualifies for finals appearances.

Rotate in young forwards in to first grade for experience for next season.

NSW cup team with everyone available who qualifies will be deadly in the finals.

You blew it this season AW I'm afraid. Too stuck on last season, inability to accept or adapt, poor selections and bench use. Big learning needed before next season.

Webster has a lot of learning to do.
Metcalf without injuries would have made a huge difference to our awful attack.
We have preserved with older guys and not getting the youngster thru.
Coaching experience is a loong hard road

Katoa and Isaako could tear up that left edge, but fuck it.

 

[Damo]

Was AFB and Walker injured?

 

[BrisbaneWarrior]

Was AFB and Walker injured?

Walker HIA. Looked like a stern injury but was sent for HIA and failed

 

[Zaggo]

If Webby starts playing silly buggers by putting RTS on a wing and Monty at centre I'm going to scream.

Put RTS at fullback, put CNK at centre, and be done with it.

All I'm asking for is that everybody gives their all for the entire game. For each other. For the supporters. For themselves.

 

[Tohu’s_Knees]

Now I’m not blaming him for last night (or the season) but………..

Can someone kindly explain why DWZ just gets a free ride onto everyone’s team list? The guy makes so many mistakes at costly times and yet just completely flies under the radar. It’s astounding that he makes exactly the same mistakes over and over again. He’s getting paid a pretty penny too I’m sure.

I see people calling for this player that player to get dropped but he just gets a free ride. By rights RTS should be playing on his wing cause that’s actually where he’s historically played. Almost all RTS’s highlights are on the right side of the field.

I just don’t understand how he’s barely even questioned for selection.

If he didn’t have a cool haircut and theatrical finishes. Everyone would hate him…… Everyone.

Someone please explain this phenomenon.

 

[Tragic]

Meh. Idgaf anymore this seasons done and I ain't holding out much hope for 2025. Depressing. Our defence is huge for 15 minutes then folds like paper, same shit every week, get the team to defend for the other 65 minutes and it might get interesting

We need to keep building these combinations through continuity in selection in the backs.
Niukore needs to head to the middle. Laban and Halasima to share the edge minutes.
Start Egan, get a rest 10 either side of half time.

Things that wouldn't surprise me this Tuesday.

SJ's 'achilles' still not right so won't be playing

Monty to wing and RTS to left centre

Metcalf picked despite only playing half a game.

My hope is that AW, while never going to publicly acknowledge it,has realized the season is over and will continue to pick TMM and Metcalf in cup to make the team as strong as it can be for finals time while building combinations for first grade next season.

Would be a great confidence booster for the players and club heading in to next season. And AW and the club need some good news story to sell after this seasons results

His flying perm makes the game attractive for lady viewers.

We defend with purpose but can’t score ourselves. Then they score first opportunity in our 20 and heads drop.

We could say we need more resilience but the reality is the players see we are lame at attacking and can’t win if we can’t pose a threat…

We need SJ’s achilles to flare up again unfortunately.

Bit harsh to wish ill of SJ but FM how we could do with a Kevin Campion. We desperately need to find some resolve.
The best teams overcome shit calls,injuries ,coaches mistakes ,etc.
