God and Dean Young alone know why Lawrie and Kerr played but Halangahu didn't. The simplest explanation might be the truth; Dean Young is an idiot.

Kerr 13 mins, like seriously, what a waste of time. Better off playing Jacob or Nick on the bench

Seriously Dean young has done exactly what Flanno did pick same side with same results yeah we fluked a few wins big fken deal Dean young is not our answer but they trained well during the week 😭 no one cares how u trained if your not winning dickhead
Every team trains well Deano Young. It is what all coaches seem to say. It is what happens on the field on game day that matters. Even I would be training the house down if I was 22 which I wish I was now - bejeesus. But the thing is it is the attitude and discipline that are in need of improving which Young and the assistant coaches should be instilling into the players. Young might be a bit on the easy side so that he gets on with the players.

I remember being promoted to a higher position at my work when I was quite young and I had several staff under me. My boss called me in the office one day and he said to me - "Whatever you do outside of work with those guys is up to you but when you are in charge of them here, you never should treat them like buddies. They will walk all over you and bludge". Lesson learnt because of those wise words.

So, Deano needs to toughen up and give those players not doing the right thing - like bloody Holmes - a big blast at training , on game day, at half time, after the game and get them to focus and play for each other. Our mistakes with handling the ball and then terrible lapses in defence are our killers.

As I said earlier I am concerned with what the team will be like next year even with the "better" players coming. Deano could end up on the scrap heap sooner rather than later.

Frankly speaking, Dean Young is not qualified to be a head coach. Assistants get promoted once a year at most on average. Usually it's someone who was already a head coach at another club. That is about half the head coaches in the NRL now. Many of the rest did an apprenticeship in the ESL. the only reason Dean Young was even considered for the job, after being a spectacularly unsuccessful assistant, is because of his dad. That is how amateurish the club is.
That looms as our big problem now that Deano has the job. I don't want to say it, but I will. I really think that we will have unwanted problems next year - good results will be fewer than us fans want.

i have never seen as spineless and pathetic an effort from an international than i did last night watching Val Holmes.

His whole focus seemed to be ensuring the shoulder was right for golf in the off season than actually performing the job he is paid for.

Absolutely pathetic. At least Nuffo tries 100% ...

Weak as piss - should be at the top of the f*ck off out of the joint list before the likes of Kyle and Suli.
Holmes has definitely reached the best before/use by date stage of his footy life. He just seems to struggle with focussing. HIs handling is poor, he has dropped in speed and strength (he isn't a big guy and not tough enough for me now). His goal kicking isn't great. Time to dispense with him DA and others.

not the last two weeks .. Jake noticeably less effective ... less metres, slower on the play the ball .. Just noticeable the shorter/younger kid vs bigger/older/experience.

Jake is going to make it, just that transition is a tough ask for a kid .. not down on him in any way shape form ..
He has been getting some reasonable experience which will set us up well next season ...

in a shitty season Jake and the kids the highlights, he just isnt there yet and good off season and a weights program designed for his work in the middle and look out next year.
