With Bruno moving to second row, if it's still happening, then we do lack depth in the centres and you can understand one more coming in. I think you possibly mean second rowers going to props. If Molloy, Fairbank and Sarsfield are going to get game time next season it will mean the likes of Gilly, Fooey, LO'D, Chan, Bruno(?), Fergy and Doof missing out and that assumes that Raleigh and Kirmond are moving on. Definitely a huge number of second rowers there.

All those second rowers and yet our best second rower Fa'alogo (the only one who seems to be able to break a line) is going prop next season...

There are changes to the subs set up that will require our forwards to play longer minutes. Doof has played up front in the NRL before, it wont be that big a thing to him. His main task is to stay fit IMO.

Bruno going to back row is just plain daft unless it's to utilise his excellent defence. He needs to do a lot of work on the weights in the off season though.

work on the weights? 
weighs more than ferguson, gilmour and same as kirmond....other second rowers.
not sure if back row is his position but looks like its going to be next season with the wing and centre spots taken
great for utility value for the squad though |

Always viewed utility players as someone who ain't good enough to play in any set position?

Or on the flip side, players who are good enough to play a multitude of positions - these natural talents though are rare. For me Cudjoe is what I would call a real utility back. |

Yet their brave bid came to a stunning end when Cudjoe stepped out of the defensive line to intercept a pass and then run away for a 90-metre effort. (Times 2)

That's a bit off the mark there, Raleigh not good enough?
Perhaps you should try discussing that with Danny B, I'm sure he'll put you right
And as for Kermit I don't think his sojourn under Kear did him much good. |

not just Danny. When Browny asked the senior players who they believed was the starting 17, all but 1 included Raleigh, but Brown still ignored them and did so again about whether other players should be continued in the team. You live and die by your decisions as a head coach, and he fluffed this season for us all. |

and why we lost in the CC quarters and 2 playoff games. This coach has never won anything at any club, he has improved the side as a coach, that does not mean he can pick the right team.
You also have to question why a head coach was asking advice from players and not taking it. He really had no idea what his best side was.
He is weak. The payers need to be led. They need to know what they are doing and the reason for doing it. They essentially need to 'buy in' to his philosophy. How can they follow a man who asks their advice and ignores it over and over again, knowing that at the drop of a hat he'd be coaching in Australia?

I really wish I could find the humour in the season ending as it did.
You obviously have, so go on share it, I could do with a laugh.
