One thing most people are forgetting is that it's not necessarily the players ability's that are in question, more the abilities of our present Coaching staff to use them properly and bring out the best in them. Our present Coaching set-up still has to prove itself and I think most on would agree that changes are needed here if we are to improve....

Most definatley, I don't think people under rated his defensive, I just think that some people don't appreciate that quality in players. I think his attack was under rated, he ran straight, direct and hard, and he definatley had the pace to finish from distance despite what some people seem to think.

The symptoms are plain for all to see - the league table does not lie. Many if not most on here have already decided what the cause is. Maybe they are right. For my part, I always live in fear of attacking the symptoms and not the causes. So as with anything else, I'd feel a bit happier having more background as to what has really been going on and what (if any) other issues may (or may not) have impinged on this crapathon of a season before finally attributing all the blame - and maybe sending for the axe.

Personally a more experienced assistant and a fresh approach on the fitness/conditioning. Quite a few players look like they spend too much time on the weights and not enough on cardio. Fresh ideas and tactics and a proper use of rotation, not just the bench but the squad as a whole and we may just see some inprovements. But what do I know?

If Le Strange is a poor replacement for Newton then we are doomed, cos Newton has been dire this year, and Ben Harris wasn't a patch on the palyer he was in the NRL.

Let's be honest, it won't be hard to look good in our team at the moment will it?

As you say the table doesn't lie and it doesn't prove good reading for Steve Mac. As for underlying problems I find it hard to believe that we as a club are the only ones experiencing this. IMO i would think that their is a fair few other coaches in super league who would like to be in Macca's position. If Macca can't make the most out of his resources it's his fault.

One of the most underrated players in a Bulls shirt in the last 10 years imo.

I liked Ben Harris, but I think - based on his form this season - that we have a better centre in Chris Nero.
He's as solid defensively as Harris ever was and a damn site more effective going forward.
If we manage to sign Millard then I would consider our centre positions to be well and truly tied up next season, with Crookes providing the cover.

I'm still not sure what to make of the Kearney signing. I think it will all depend on the position Macca makes him play. I personally would rather see him play where he is most effective, and that seems to be at FB.

Is your Grandma out of contract? Could be an option at 7.

i'll have a word

u have signed a very good player here if stays fit,i lived in oz for 2 years and watched a lot of crunulla, good support player, likes to roam around the ruck for any breaks like any good full back. also good returner of the ball but quite slim, same mould and type of player as brett hodgson,

Quite a few different opinions rlhererl.

Wasn't rlthis guyrl being touted as a potential signing for us?
