I agree with your sentiment but it seems that Whiting is seen as a back rower and occasional fill in outside back. There can be no doubt that Ellis isn't good enough after today's performance. Miles off.

I think Whiting is predominantly a back rower, but we'd look much better with him at 6 than Ellis. Hope that was his last game this season.

I agree, Ellis is not the answer but more worryingly as poor as he was I thought he was actually better in defense at least than Seymour today!

Same here , With Yeaman fit , we should have gone Whiting 6 .

couldn't of put it better myself

But then people would be saying he's playing players out of position and why not play Ellis when he's a half back .

If you pick half backs on there defensive capabilities, then that speaks volumes

Because he's not very good?

Very good points regards the hurt egos and I think some of the players told to look elsewhere have the bigger egos in the club.

That said I wish we as a club were not so public in announcing who would not be staying and for what reasons. Every club is going through the same process and I just feel it is unhelpful when a player sees McRae publicly state he is a goner for this reason or that.

Ah,sorry.

Rather rude isn`t it?
I reckon chucking a 20 point lead away warrants some sort of comment.
As for P.G. I have every faith he will eventually sort this business out.

If you can't tell the moronic comments from the warranted ones then maybe you do fall into that category after all.

Peter Gentle inherited a poor team with too many ego's.

Unlike football you can't just do a massive clear out and bring the players you want in straight away it takes time, he will get it right because he's a good coach, blame the players not him.

An excellent post.
