I still think we need a gun midfielder as you take Cotchin and Martin out and we’re pretty small in there.
Agreed , create ops for juniors coming through , Ross Bolton baker should all be given time effective immediately. It’s a challenge to Dimma to build a new forward line around lynch , for mine I’d add another twin tall in ccj . More likely caddy will be role which will help , he’s a smart player . Our forward line has looked limp this year . A stark contrast to the excitement and frenetic build up as we went forward previously . I implore the coaches to change the setup not be hostage to something that fired 18m ago
 
While I agree with you our midfield is the problem and has been since late last year and again this year I don't agree with the Lynch part.He is a gun forward any top coach would fit him into his system simple as that if they can't well there not doing there job just look at the eagles setup.For me I'm not liking what I see from Dimma and his assistant's we look one dimensional and stuck in 2017.
I’ll give the coaches that at r3 they were entitled to back their fav line up to bounce back
I’m now hoping they can see patterns emerging that aren’t good and hope like hell that they don’t let our season go down the gurgler quicker than an airliners flush button before we swing the changes . Get ****en moving

they’re on record saying they noticed worrying trends on our kpi’s at the back end of last year and did nothing about it and that we wouldn’t sit on our hands next time

well benny and dimma, it’s next time

let’s see if anyone is willing to put their nurries on the table

Baker is too small and the other blokes may need some time. I would work on Miller as the ruck forward option as he’s a powerful unit. CCJ is looking as a very promising number one ruck, but as you say he still can go down forward as he would stretch a few defenders for height and speed.

Not sure we planned for missing rance grimes and Houli from our back half in r3 , good luck to gws getting us on a good day . If you that makes no difference then I can’t help you

of course it makes a difference. especially when the forward line can’t hold the ball in or take their opportunities and the midfield is getting beaten on the spread, losing their men in transition, and turning it over leaving the makeshift defence out of position

I prefer your politically incorrect posts.

CCJ has a bit of mobile Ben McEvoy about him. Good grab with long arms.

Let's be honest, prestia is just a good average player that we significantly overpaid for.

Wouldn't take it back though, we did get the flag after all.
Hmm maybe slightly. However you see blokes like Polec getting even more money and it’s evened out a fair bit. Still a really good player when fit and firing

What are we going to do with this bloke? He literally cannot hit a target inside 50. His skill execution is getting worse, or staying consistently poor and most troubling is certainly not getting better.

How can one of our key ball winners be such a butcher?
