| Quote: Fantastic Mr Catpiss "Cullen was just as bad for playing people out of position, he shoved grose at fb after signing gleeson and kohe-love, he practically ruined ian sibbit's career here playing him at centre and martin gleeson latterly got shifted between centre stand off and loose forward. He was also mustard for playing people out of position whilst injured to cover rather than putting a kid in. He also signed bridge as a half back and had him playing on the wing.
Smith signed a loose forward, westerman, although he had previously gone with current trend of an extra prop at 13.
He signed a Centre, atkins, played him at centre, he's not signed another one till now, as we've attempted to recruit from within.
He's signed wingers, jonas and lineham, and played them on the wing. Granted i'll let you have matty russell but he's a bloody anomoly.'"
Michael Sullivan? The one half Cullen played him actually at hooker. He ripped Leeds to shreds in the playoff win at Headingly!!

He almost cost us that bloody game as well, not paying attention.

Halfback by apprenticeship, was the form half in the nrl when we signed him. Never looked like one over here though.

| Well I didn't say half back because he did have some problems there. Cull did make error's getting hooks to play 7.
Let down by Andrew Johns didn't help. It was AJ that recommended we sign Monas as his replacement for 7. That ultimately cost Cull his job.
Incidentally I liked Gross at fb. We could do with him now.

| Sims is a poor second rower trying his hardest to do it at prop for us.
Cooper is the same Cooper who left Wire, disappointing today vs Cats. Lazy.

| Sims was our second best player after Atkins some of his last ditch defence was outstanding.
We didn't miss Hill when he went off and never returned.
And that was down to sims.
Are we seriously bagging a player because he is the face of our club.

| Nothing wrong with Sims, our pack is decent but we have no support runners and are easy to read. They are basically always 1 on 3 and are never going to come out of that on top. Again, for me this is a coaching issue we have the players but our inept tactics are making them all look amateur.

| Quote: rubber duckie "The pack....however much we've been poor in the outside backs this year...those average at best looking players could have done the job had our pack been one of dominance.
It really has been weak...and sadly of a number of seasons.
Philbin and Clark being the 2 standouts pack members...
Westwood effective biff help turn fortunes around but not ever present.
Hill, spending to much time give away fairy daft penalties and yeam costly...if you want to get naughty, feckin hit em like Westwood.
Sims...talks a good game but never a starting prop, arguably playing his best rugby on those couple of occasions he came off the bench.
Westerman bang average...I really thought he could have been a masterstroke signing. Clearly talented and has a touch of the Andy Currier's about him. I hope that clears up soon.
Hughes started well...and left it there. Disappointing since.
Cooper...he definitely is the same Cooper that left Blighty...and his form is no different. Not sure this was the same fella who played in Aus...to his credit, he has pointed a finger woth a sneaky jibe blaming training as the problem....we all know who that is Richard.
King....there looks to be more to come from him, can be great and then calamity...but overall a costly player with handling issue.
Crosby...I wish him strength and look forward to 2018.'"
I stopped reading that at Clark being a standout member.
Clarke has been a massive disappointment. He was so bad today it was unreal .
he is clearly injured. he came on with 7 minutes to go before half time and did nothing.
he made one dummy half run in the second half. he is the sole reason Dwyer thinks he is a world beater.This is because Dwyer comes on and makes twice the impact Clark does and neither of them can organise a defensive line or kick a ball.
we are pathetic in the hooking role..... again today we play the ball and no one is there and the opposition say thanks very much.....

| Clark been very poor this year. More missed tackles than tackles. He is a good runner with the ball and that's it. Can't read play. Usually passes ball wrong way from dummy half.

Based purely on my own situation it could be he and his wife are still badly affected by the loss. I know i am from losing my wife 2 and half year ago still.
