If hes too much of a sook to work hard and earn a spot let the guy go home, I'm not one for spoon feeding games and carrying guys a mile off standard when a premiership is on the line.
And? Its a brutal industry you can't afford passengers, especially when we have quality to select.A good few players get homesick simply playing interstate, let alone on the other side of the world.
I think that's why we chucked Stewart in the guts in the third, as he just provided another big body around the contest
I know he then returned to the backline, but at wanted that big body in the middle also

Defence can't hold up without him against most opposition but I liked the move to at least change up the mix, didnt think it particularly worked though, Dunks,Neale,Berry and Clug just danced around him really.I think it also put a bit more 'will' around the contest too......
To be fair Sam McClure admitted he made that up about Reid.So he probably has more right to feel the pull home, when so many 'sooks' can't cope with merely playing interstate.
Harley Reid the latest example.
Did he go off to play golf again? What’s his injury?Reckon Rohan is more crucial to our side than he gets credit for. Broke down a lot at CHF where he would ordinarily provide a contest in the air, lock the ball in or at least pressure the rebounding defender.

Yeah it’s 2022 mindset, without realizing the competition has moved on. Could make a case for it in H & A in 2019, 2020 & 21 too. Not this year though.I think the club is suffering badly from this notion of “our best is as good if not better than anyone else’s”. It was in 2022, it’s why we shat the flag in, but the comp has moved on and teams have moved past us. I genuinely think the players think it’ll all just switch on for them when the time comes, but it’s not going to happen. We’ve had so many games this year where a win was there for the taking and we just failed to capitalize, I’d like to know how many games we’ve won from trailing? Doubt it’s any, it’s almost like we decide on the day whether we want to turn up and play or not.
Just not at the races this year, mentally and physically.
Pretty sure its just the ongoing thing that flares up and leads to his form going to water, will be managed for the rest of his career in all likelihood, groin issues IIRC.Did he go off to play golf again? What’s his injury?
I thought it was an ankle injury?Pretty sure its just the ongoing thing that flares up and leads to his form going to water, will be managed for the rest of his career in all likelihood, groin issues IIRC.
I doubt it has anything to do with keeping him interested (I know you were responding)….A couple of weeks ago I did understand why you could try Oisin as a sub. He has great speed and power and is a little older than the ones they have been giving sub role to. For dempsey, Knevitt, simpson Etc none of them have made an impact as a sub - so I thought give Oisin a go.If hes too much of a sook to work hard and earn a spot let the guy go home, I'm not one for spoon feeding games and carrying guys a mile off standard when a premiership is on the line.
Fagan followed Longmire in playing their interceptor/ creator on our least effective forward . Lizard Blakey and Harris Andrews spending time on ‘out the back’ Ollie. Scott had to talk to Jez & Ollie at quarter time given Andrews dominance. This has to be looked at going forward much more ….
Can't remember the last time I saw a player dragged (Mullins),not sure Shagger Burns has ever had to do that before.
