In fact id say there is no other coach in the comp that could take our current squad to a prelim final so you could say craig has overachieved this year getting this group to the game before the grand final. Until we have better middles at the club we dont do any better. No spine or back line can p...

Does he?

The most apt comment has been (wall)paper over the cracks. Calls that Paps (and Sua) would've made a difference last night against the Panthers and the season are maybe, just a little, over stated. Sure a bit more spark last night would've been great, and I did have a wondering towards the end of th...

It's all very well to say we need to make changes but we've made our choices, we must work with what we have, team selections and match day decisions need looking at.

We can't just go and get guns, every club is wanting the same.

The biggest shake up needs to start from the top.

Being on the same page as each other would be a good start

Panthers 4th try, Munster miss again. How many times do I say it, he cannot tackle.

Munster and Olam defending next to each other is disaster

26 minute, how does Cleary milk that penalty

Where is it Fisher-Harris, oh wait, we rest him after 16 minutes
This is coaching to a plan, not to the game as it unfolds

Panthers leading 12-4 and Olam has scored four tries.
2 incorrect reads in defence (maybe justifiably no confidence in Munster), drops a certain try and scores one.

Kick it behind them, early, and from dummy half so all our chasers are on side

Sitting end on, not my usual choice, I noticed different things this week, still not a fan of end on though! My take; 1; What was really noticeable was how the players approach the line with ball in hand. There are two kinds of players, the "To" and the "Through" and unfortunatel...

It's alright we've got big game Munster.. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: But seriously, we don't have big nasty forwards / players, we need to play to our (maybe) mobile (maybe) strengths. Can't make big and nasty with what we have, how do we change things? Personally, I can't see us losing this week, it ...

A fit Paps to 6, Sua to 1, Munster to the stands and figure the rest out. (If you haven't guessed it I'm waaaaaaaaay less enamoured with Munster than others)

No Tepai
No Garlick/Grant rotation
No NAS to SR
Sticking with Meaney

Second week in a row that we lose a finals game at the selection table?

CB clearly has his favourites....
