What makes you say that? What 'second rate Aussies' do we have this season?

Cue anti-Jeremy Smith brigade...

Only listened on radio, but Swain, Cashmere and Henry all featured prominently in first half.
Far better than our usual crop

That's kinds what I was thinking.

I know Jeremy Smith isn't widely popular (although neither is he an Aussie) but our other imports are as good a crop of foreigners as I can remember.

I feel that Cashmere, Swain, Henry, Wilshere, Stapleton and even Robbie Paul have all done reasonably well this season, and that our 'NRL Retirement Home' status may be under jeopardy?!

I dont think replacing mcrae is the answer, our hot and cold performances are down to individual players and their attitude.

I think his team selections are weird at times, he'll play percentage rugby league to win ugly at all costs i think ratchford and fitzpatrick should play a more active role but what he has achieved so far you cant argue with, won all the cups last year, got us promoted, beat leeds and hull away, his imports have been a success in my opinion, the only difference between him and harrison is harrison got a top 6 finish with players who were at the peak of their powers at the time played for each other and for him.

Mcrae has had to invest in youth more, this is where our strengh lyes, hopefuly another offseason we can move on some of our yesterdays heros and the club and team can move on.
