Time to be honest with some players.

Niukore either needs to move to the front row or the bench.

Ford needs to desperately fix his discipline. His effort isn’t worth the trade off, he puts us under pressure too often.

CHT can probably find a new role. Halves combo of TMM and Boyd going forward for me.

DWZ can have a few weeks off.

Capewell has to get healthy.

Healey needs to be in the team somewhere.
Agree 100% if we want to change the weak path we have been on for some time, we need major changes
Too many of our players were either injured or well out of form, and effort or not FG standard..
We lost a top player during the season to EELS nil replacement ...
 
Btw does anyone know why Webby is so in love with deep bombs to wingers with 0 chase pressure? It was a feature of last year too. Even close to the line we bomb to our wingers (who can't catch bombs) and neglect balls along the ground. I dunno what the dude thinks will happen with that shit, but it NEVER works. No opposition winger ever makes an unforced error, and 2 tackles later they're usually back over the 30.

The 6 again rule is frustrating.

If you watch the other top sides they aren't getting pinged with 6 agains like we do. Especially when they are defending their line.

We can be in the opposition 20 for decent periods and barely get a 6 again. The opposition get down there and we start hearing the 6 again horn go off.

Surely, our discipline can't be that bad.

For example It is frustrating seeing your players in the opposition 20 get pushed over when getting up or held down and it is sweet. Then the other end it gets called 6 again.

It makes it really hard when you are playing a side that is completing at such a high percentage as the Titans were tonight.

A few things...

- DWZ is absolutely the worst player in the side and by some margin at present. He needs some NSW Cup time ASAP. There is no possible way someone like Taine would do a worse job.
- Capewell back to the backrow and play whichever fit and available centre we have. He is a non event defensively. Move CNK if need be. Capewell just cannot continue here unless it is a mid-game shift to cover injury.
- CHT is shite, but there's no one else to replace him.

Titans played well. Won every department pretty comfortably and completed high 90s.

In other quite sad news, I've just run the ladder predictor. Assuming we lose to the Phins next week, then to Dogs, Manly and Titans away, but win against Eels and Dragons - we will finish 8th. I think that is a far more likely scenario than top 4.
I had us sixth when we made top four, have not changed that all season because of this block of games.

I think we are a chance against the Titans round two. But they will be favorites.

Manly we are a chance, Dogs too, Dolphins though...I think they could give us a hiding next week.

None of this is unexpected, been saying it for ages, sixth is where we are realistically aimed if things go our way not top four.

At this point I'd rather Kosi over Dallin. Yes, Screams of desperation! Thats how bad dallin has been.

I'd like to see TT start at wing. Leiataua to centre. And leave CNK at the back.

Less minutes for Ford as he starts getting lazy & giving away penalties.

TMM to start as CHT has zero flair or vision. We won't win anymore games with the this one out runs, Kick on the last , Rince & repeat shit.

Rest Capewell, He is carrying a few injuries. Healy for Egan. CHT to the bench. Kaylis Fatialofa on to the bench for TSS. Nuikore to starting prop. Keep Marata's job simple. Run straight and hard. Backrow of Laban, Leka & Clark.

we didn't learn from Brisbane's slip up yesterday. Just felt that we half-assed the entire game. Healey comes in next week for me if Egan has a 1 week stand down. I'm sorry to say but I'm on the DWZ has to go train now. Bring TT back in. I really don't care if it is TT to FB or wing. He has to come back and provide some spark.

The more worrying thing than the edge defense, which can be fixed, is that our physicality has dropped off so much. That has been what our identity this year has been built around. The major drop off in it has been a problem since the 2nd bye and it has to be addressed ASAP. Deal with that and we can get back on track.
