Hoping we put in a competitive effort.

Don't care. I'll be in Paris again avoiding this game at all costs.

Yes please. I'd always thought Tutt was worth persisting with but no one with a future would make THAT handpass. And Liam Chestmark Jones needs burying.

Out: Hope
In: Reality

Hang on...I think maybe we already did that...

Not bad, Jimmae. However I thought (gulp) Jones had a crack. Also, I doubt we'll see Walker again soon. He's not good enough to come straight back into the ones.

White will stay in.

Johnson for Menzel.

Look he did, but he still ran out of gas eventually, which when you consider how little he would had to run compared to even the average player in the side, is still poor.

Unbearably poor fitness.

Assuming no suspensions or injuries from tonight-

In: Carrazzo, Menzel
Out: Johnson, Walsh

No point rushing Graham back. It wouldn't surprise me if Walker is gone for the year.

Maybe look at bringing Wood back if Kreuzer needs a spell, or perhaps drop Casboult or Jones for him?

Supposedly Graham wasn't rushed back this week ABNS, so he should be right to play, ditto Walker.

I hope they are ultra conservative with Graham. I wouldn't care if they put him in cotton wool for the rest of the season. Foot injuries scare me.....

Yeah but whatabout your whataboutism.

Not for the psyche of any players who aren't buying into what they're being told, and for the ones who are but aren't continuing to hone and develop their awareness and skills.

There'd be about 30 players in those categories; are they all dead wood waiting to be discarded?

not all but there is plenty of dead wood and plenty with black marker through their name

I've got 18 names that fit those descriptions, if you're talking in terms of the 3-year plan.

Is that the ball park figure? Otherwise, the staff are clutching at straws to retain their jobs.

White has to stay in. At the moment he is in the top half of our players and he has some mongrel. Jones can't be judged on last night, but his seasson has shown all the reasons why he failed at the Bulldogs. He is tall, mobile, has good hands and a low centre of gravity, he has the tools but seems to have no idea of getting to where the ball is and just doesn't run enough. Give him a go at CHB and tell him last chance - sink or swim. He has the physical attributes, does he have the tank and the will - probably not but we might as well try him. KJ has to be good enough to get a game for us, really, half the posters on TC would be pressing for selection if they were on the list.

I know Tutt's skills are poor, but at least he has a go and at the moment that is enough to get a game.

Surely we will be comptetive this week, where did our form against PA go?
