Disagree. Their best players are aging/don’t want to be there. They’ve overachieved this year but I can’t see any long term success in their squad.

If you don’t have alzheimers like me, I’d be willing to have a scratchy bet on that (a carton is a bit much to mail). We might have to wait a while, but I’m backing Flanno to do something before AOB.

Flanno is the better coach for mine, but that St George roster is a hot mess. I don't think any coach could turn it into a decent team without some mass changes and good recruitment.

AOB thinks Cogger is the more complete player, which is true. The part AOB seems not to understand is that Cogger is very shlt.

There's no point being a more complete player if you're making basic errors off the ball and offering absolutely nothing with the ball. It's such an AOB approach to take to value a player like Cogger more than a young freakish talent like Pryce. If Ricky Stuart were the coach Pryce probably would've been selected ahead of Cogger from the outset of the season, simply because the potential for upside is so high, why would any coach not explore that? Much less persist with a 4 out of 10 lacklustre half like Cogger.

You mean like Stuart picking an old Rapana who is probably a better winger, over a young gun Chevy Stewart?

I don’t know why he perseveres with Rapana. He’s so rocks and diamonds and a fair dink’m hot headed ******. He has an awesome game, granted it’s often from getting so badly under the skin of the opposition, but then has 5 games worth of absolute brain fades. I reckon he’s got something on Ricky because Ricky doesn’t strike me as the kind of guy that’s happy to suffer fools religiously… but there he is surrounded by clowns so who knows?

And I think he’s capable of sorting it out. I don’t think he will win the comp next year, but I think he will start being more and more competitive the more he puts his brand on the team.
AOB has had a fair go, and to be fair, has managed to make up numbers in the finals. He’s been here long enough that this is his team though. We’re an inconsistent mess. When we’re on, brilliant to watch and a team that you think could conquer the comp. When we’re off, words can’t describe how bad they are, it’s embarrassing. The gap between being on and being off is what makes me question his coaching.

yeah and not to mention they don't exactly have good wingers anyway, and he has been a decent career winger.
 
Toohey raised the question of whether Sharpe could play 5/8 a few weeks ago - pointing out he was a halfback in Matts. Since then Sharpe has said he played all his juniors before joining the Knights as a half.
I can't remember ever seeing him kick except for taking kickoffs, but he must be able to.
Ponga has proved it's fullback or nothing for him.
If we are keeping Sharpe, Armstrong and Votano, we need to find positions they can play.

Interstingly enough I have made some enquiries re Armstrong's beginnings. It is reported he was #7 from about 6s to 16s. I believe it because i haven't seen anything but a great pass from him, specially off the ground at dummy half. In my opinion, sorry Billy, KP should move to the halves with the likes of Sharpe and Armstrong lining up behind. My preference being Armstrong because he always seems to be there ready for an offload. Sharpe does deserve to be in my team tho. I think there is a good combination to be proven.

KP is trash in the halves. I wish that wasn’t true but 8-10games of that experiment confirms it. He is best when the guys in front are creating spaces and opportunities for him to chime in on when he wants to.
 
Why don't we just use one of them as a running 7?? They seem to be everywhere now and its so much more exciting. We aren't a team that kicks to corners anywyas
