Analysis: Star halfback Ben Hunt will make his first 2023 appearance and will partner Moses Mbye in the halves.
One thing we can say about the half and 5/8 combination Hunt and Mbye is that it's probably the highest paid combination.
But certainly not the best not top 8
I'm trying to be positive but really, that combination would be in the top 4 worst, wouldn't it?
I personally can't see it lasting especially when the results are not going our way. Needs to be Hunt/ Sullivan. I can safely say that Amone won't feature. My starting 13 would have Mulheisen in the team also. But let's see how the combination goes against a very good South's team. I don't believe that Mbye can last 80 min at 5/8. Souths will definitely target our halves in attack and their edge forwards will be very dangerous. I can see another flogging unfortunately
Liddle hooker and Mbye 5/8. If the coach goes with that in round 2 rather than Sullivan and Mulheisen, I'll give up on the year.
Give up there is no chance my man Mulheisen will get a start before round 12 if at all this season
Lucky @jodragon is here to rein in you guys irrational exuberance
Just calling it as I see it. I know my days are long gone but I still understand the intricate workings of a leagues club how coaches, selectors, management think and act nothing much has changed in those areas except it is far more political these daysLucky @jodragon is here to rein in you guys irrational exuberance
It's been about 6 years and 3 clubs since Mbye had a good game.
You are being very kind to him
7 years and 3 clubs?
I don't follow the Grubs closely but I think he played 1 good game in a semi final when Hasler was the coach in his first year. I don't think I saw it but I remember James Graham praising him.
Unfortunately for us I believe South's edge forwards will exploit our defensive weakness in our halves and would may get a good old fashioned touch up.
I'm not worried about the edges. Without JDB our middles are going to get trampled. I give them 30min before the flood gates open. Unless Souths rest their best forwards very early. Lawrie will stand his ground but not more than that. Liddle's dummy half passes will be slow and all over the place. Who else do we have? Frank Molo is a scam. A slight upgrade on Josh Kerr. Runs a little harder but is a little lazier.
Your worried about the engine room, I'm worried about the edges. It's not going to be pretty unless the rabbits take the foot off the accelerator once they have the game safely in the bag. Nobody will come to this club until we clean sweep the current coach, R&R Team and the majority of the current board away. What I have been saying is the truth we won't get anybody half decent until that is completed or at least half completed, mark my words. We don't even have our top 30 on contract yet, what does that tell you?
It's not we don't have the top 30 yet. Most teams still have one or even two spots available. We still have 5!!!
5 if not counting Amone and Ramsey. Amone is certain to get a replacement. Hook is no doubt scouring the QLD Cup as we speak. Even if we only count 3, it's too many. As you said about other clubs.
