Breaks your heart after 4 rounds our what I would call reserve grade team is being flogged week in week out, there has to be internal club culture issues that we do not know about. Now this team included in its starting line up, Sloan, Moga, Alvaro, Muhleisen, Burgess, Burns, Hunt, Coric, Shereb and Faumuasili, seriously all whom want to play 1st grade. Sloan ended up in the bin for the last 7 min of this game, that does not go well for his mindset after being dropped. They have managed to score only 6 tries in the 4 games let in 180 points. If I were coach non would be donning the big red V. Its a disgrace.
Do whatever you want but taking a screenshot seems like a really difficult way to share an image. An easier way is to just right click on the image and choose "copy image" and then come here and, right click and choose "paste". It will be automatic unless them image is too large. In which case you have to make it smaller in another program. I just tried "Paint 3D" and that works. Paste it in there, resize it to make it smaller and then copy it again and paste it in a message here.

Who is the head coach? I wonder if he is following directions from Hook in playing certain players a certain number of minutes in order to get them ready for first grade even though that might not be best for the team. Or playing young players who probably should still be in the juniors but Hook wants them ready for first grade next year? Just a theory.

Barring at most 2 or 3 guys, that (young players getting ready for NRL next year) is untrue. Remembering the extended reserves from the NRL come into the team. The forwards are almost all pushing for NRL now and I don't think are young enough to still be playing juniors. The youngest are Connor Muhleisen, Jackson Shereb and Josh Coric, all of whom are 20 as far as I know.

Not a major cause for alarm yet. If those three make it in the NRL next year, that'll be fine. Even if only 2 of the 3 make it. Our backs with the exception of Hunt are already really young. Only need a few good forwards coming though in the next 2 years.

My experience is that nobody likes copping a flogging whether they played 80 min or 10 min. It's just no good

Well, it really seems the club is in an absolute shambles at present. I wonder if Flanagan is far away from being installed as head coach.

I've been a staunch supporter of Hook but the wheels have fallen off. It's up to him to fix the bus and fast or in 2 or 3 weeks, he might find himself off the bus.
I agree with that. He deserves a few weeks to set things right before the knives come out. But at the same time, he has to set things right within a few weeks. That should include the NSW Cup team performing much better.
