Yeah Billy that would be the team for me too ..Id love to see King cut Cameron Smith in half . I dont think you should weaken one position to strengthen another and Mann has been our best spine player for a while now imo leave him at 6 .
 
You need two guys out there to share the load, it's just how it works. Only freaks like Joey & JT are above that. Look at Pearcey's premiership win, couldn't ask for a better five-eighth partner in crime than James Maloney at the time.

Fair enough, well Mann to 14 next year and we'll use Watson's $650k elsewhere for mine.

Remember when Edwards used to belt Hayne off the runway lol?
 
I noticed in the scrimmage match against Parra that Randall was playing as a forward and Huth was at hooker.
I suppose they were getting him used to defending as a second row so they could use him in the forward rotation if named at 14.
What I hope has been happening is that he is doing a lot of work on his passing game and game management, maybe with Bedsy if he is allowed in the "bubble".
It looks like Randall will get 10 games at least to polish his skills and earn a top 30 spot next year.
 
I reckon ill be more angry if we win this lol
We win and then get 4th spot back again...man this club making me crazy ahahaha

It’s not all doom and gloom. If we lose. Worst we will sit is 8, then we have 3 winnable games.

If we win then we have 3 winnable games.

getting tough with the hooker situation

This season has been an upgrade to what we've seen in the last decade, not complaining just more annoyed with wLwLwL record lol
Best thing about this team we haven't reached our potential, we saw a tease last year in that winning streak.

Yep you don’t want to be a team to hit their run early. 6 wins, draw and 4 losses. You’d probably take that at the start of the season. Let’s hope we start a run soon
 
Thats a good record.
Its just the losses to the Cows and Dogs really hurt.

Yep. But we beat Canberra. Beat Manly at Manly for the first time in who knows how long. Hung on for one of the best games played to draw Penrith. Showed what we can do against Souths. Went down in a close one against Parra. Cows game was a real problem. But that dogs game, they scored off two kicks, yeah we should have beat them but that’s just the way it goes. I laugh at people sooking and writing is off already. If we get pantsed this week that would be a worry but I’m expecting a big game
 
Obi might have put players on notice but with our injuries we are getting to the stage that even if you don’t play well you won’t get dropped as we have nil replacements with experience. For example we have no 2nd row on bench due to injuries Sione and Jones and Moimosa is inexperienced. With Dan and Glasby out we will use King but other middles lack experience. Hooker is even sillier, Randall and Huth otherwise it’s fill ins if Randall has bad game, Huth along with other young players has lost opportunity to gain experience in reserves. Dropped will most likely mean you are still in the 21 if not the 17 with a sudden recall 24 hours before the game, no let’s just make do with what we have and play strong

No disrespect but we are playing Josh King and Phoenix Crosslands this week......... Who do you suggest we have to call upon?
