Cooke and Briscoe Ill give you, Chester was sh*te (for us).

What 'plan B' would replace two international forwards midway through a season with players of equal quality? One of whom is still under contract but unavailable due to the incompetence of the UKBA?

What youth setup, no matter how good, can produce international quality players at the drop of a hat?

Are you even reading what you're posting? I've seen nematodes that could produce a more coherent argument.

Chester was excellent for us. In the two games he played between the six or seven he was out injured.

i think richard horne is wasted at fullback..seems far more of a handfull when playing at stand off.

Snag is,one of our best full backs in now playing in a red shirt,and we have no other replacement at the moment.

In my own opinion, no.

I would say Domic is the most glaring example of a player not even getting replaced we just seem to have rotated the right centre spot between G.Horne, Whiting, Hall, Byrne and Broughton.

we signed crocker to play in the starting 13, so therefore we are a player as no replacement has been signed

lauaki though i class as a bonus signing

I think he always sums up the game really well and I agree with a lot that he has to say, the problem is their isn't much he can do about it atm. Thorman hasn't worked out and he knows that but he also knows he's the best we have for a few months. Playing down Thorman as a reason we lost was good man management and you can see the players really want to play imo, you can't argue with the commitment. I think we have to give him a chance to assemble his squad, Thorman hasn't worked out but was a last minute thing and there was no better avaliable at the time, give him chance.

Needs to go but the faceless board dont want to have egg on thier errr faces.

Sorry disagree - After the KR match last year Agar threatened to clear out the players. He never did. If he is head coach and Thorman was forced on him - THEN HE SHOULDN'T BE HEAD COACH!! - He as head coach must have made the decision about Dykes. If so he had plenty of time to bring in a 7. As head coach he renewed many first team players contracts last season such as Radders. Also a top coach can take poor sides, increase their strengths and hide the weaknesses. If you brought in a new coach to this team I bet they would instantly improve our attack. Its not hard to suddenly pass more than once!
