Some truth to all of that. He struggled in the second half of last year too. But the new rules have exacerbated the problem. No doubt. True Sloan is very fast but yeah, as with #1. Slow wingers have exacerbated the problem. No decent halfback is going to sign for a year or two. So either...

Which halfback do you think will sign for 1 or 2 years? Only possibility is a loan halfback for a year before he goes to PNG. No. Need to back Reed. Simple as that. You put Metcalf in our backline and he'd struggle badly. Nothing against Metcalf. It's just he's going to want a long-term deal...

After I would have lost the shirt off my back already.

Shonkies weren't able to find out Aston Ward. But anyway, after LKT who made 17 tackles for 1 miss, Reed's defence was second best from 1~7. Keep him where he is for now. The aim should be to stick with him until Origin when hopefully the games will be a bit easier.

Fair enough. I wonder if we can get Aston Ward back. I only watched a few parts of the Souffs vs Shonkies game but in that Aston Ward was defending perfectly fine. They were 30-0 up with 7 minutes to go. Let Shonkies in for a couple of consolation tries to make the score look respectable. As a...

What marquee halfback do you think will sign on for 1 or 2 years? Otherwise, yeah, cause only Kade was pushed off or bumped away by Ponga. Lets forget about about how many times he did it to Gutherson and Holmes. But they are imports so it's ok. They can f*ck up almost every week for a year and...

He's not ready right now in this team I agree. Put him in the today's Newcastle team with Ponga against out superstars, Gutho and Holmes on the edges and I'd bet he'd be very ready. But anyway, lets spend a mil a year on an import for 5 years with the goal of making Reed ready by the time he's...

A halfback? Maybe but how fast our juniors are hung out to dry while the likes of 31 year-old Clint Gutherson and Shonkies mid-20s reserve grader Dan Atkinson are given every chance and then half a dozen more chances on top makes my head spin constantly. I can't even remember who they were but...

At least the Shonkies are also losing.

Setu Tu: Do you see why he didn't debut until he was 27?

Is it Luke Keary in commentary? Whoever it is, I like how he's giving to Holmes. Holmes deserve it.

Wingers should be Sloan and CT. Centres Buchanan and Suli. Fullback Holmes. Gutho on the bench in KFs place.

Egan has been ok as well.

Does anyone still think his main concern wasn't what was best for the club and team but what was best for KF?

Out of the 3 who Flanno called, marquee signings, Cook is the best. How typical he's the one off contract. But it's still the right time to let him go.
