Round 7 - Knights vs Raiders - 11:50am Sunday 16 August - McDonald Jones Stadium

The team is just stuck in no man’s land. At best the 5th or 6th best team in a “2 team comp.” One great player (who’s out for the season and nearing the end of her career), a lot of decent or good ones and no real game breakers. We talk about the good work Jeffries is doing with the juniors but we don’t have any of those game breakers in the pipeline there, either.

At least we just re-signed the coach who alienated our star players and oversaw the exodus of almost all of our elite talent.

Spain holding her shoulder at end, hope only a twinge as without her the game would have been embarrassing

Few players should be lucky to stay in side but they probably will as they will say season alive

Need Lahmert for speed around ruck after Liv does her thing early as Bo is not it as 14
Need speed out wide so would be good for a Lily white,Tyla Brown to come in
Emily McArthur,Lacey cross or ruby drake too maybe get start on bench

Definitely trying to pass it so was loose carry/knock on
Too many passenger players in this side though
So loss is probably worthwhile
Romanuk,Bo,Karparni,Giampino all terrible this week and last
Should be just playing young kids for rest of year as season is done

Giampino is one of the kids.

Romaniuk has been our best middle by a huge margin in both games, dunno what you're watching.

They miss Yazzie heaps.

This program needs to follow the Warriors NRL model, 1-7, hookers, lock & back row are all strong, the glaring issue is at prop. That's where the recruitment emphasis needs to be. Nothing wrong with the team that two elite props wouldn't immediately fix. Sienna Yeo is a keeper & Predebon reverting to a bench impact role would be a monster.

You have to factor in with any middle forward you want to bring in that at NSW Cup level players like Giampino and Grace Kukutai looked like Millie Boyle. The step up is really big.

Really need a first class middle forward. I know CJ hasn’t been great this year but talent doesn’t disappear, she’d probably be happier and perform better back home.

Bo is such a waste of a top 24 spot and she’s still signed next year. Giving her 3 years was mental

If Taylor isn’t re-signing we also need another strong outside back.

Spain is a massive talent though, that’s one good thing that’s come out of this year and she’s only going to get better

It’s more about the fact that they don’t look like they can really trouble the comp this year at the moment so it’s more in next game or two if it’s season done,would be getting them time in grade to season them for next year or two when they will hopefully hit their peak
