Been one of my pet hates for a while. Nothing against Hunt but the team is better when he isn't getting his hands on the ball 4 or more times every set.

Tigers this week, the ones we thrashed in the trial game. The coach should insist we watch a replay of that game this week. Our confidence, intent, attack and defense structure were all spot on that day. Flanagan and our edgies had blinders. It gave us hope for finally a decent season. What has happened as we have yet to repeat that.

Team tips:
It’s a huge call, but Shane Flanagan could be set to switch Tyrell Sloan and Zac Lomax full time. He swapped the pair at halftime against the Knights and it’s shaping up that Lomax will wear the No.1 in Round 6. Reports both Blake Lawrie and Mikaele Ravalawa are set to be axed, with the pair reportedly facing an “uphill battle” to remain in the side. Christian Tuipulotu is the man who will replace Ravalawa on the wing, while Hame Sele could join the front row rotation after battling a calf injury. Meanwhile, Toby Couchman and Viliame Fifita are also options in the middle of the park. Jack Bird also battled what initially looked to be an ugly knee injury, with scans set to determine how long he spends on the sidelines and if he misses any weeks of play.Harsh for Rava. How does Suli never come under any pressure? Does the same thing as Rava just not as much or effectively.

Hate wishing anyone ill will. But hoping this is a long term injury for Bird as he is without doubt the weak link in the outside backs. All he does is muddies the water at selection time.

That is a harsh call Flanagan. He has gotten rid of Lomax now he wants to do same with his good mate Blocka. In one of those games when we surrendered 50 effing points, Lawie stood out as our most affective man in the engine room.

I think Zac is made to play at the back, so why didnt Flanagan make this call at season start. Tyrell can handle the flank now he has added some kilos and much needed intent. From here on he only has to concentrate on pouching long kicks, marking and hitting his man and having the pill in his hands to continue using his elusive pace, silky footwork and ball skills..

I say about time as Rava has led a charmed life. Ironically he has probably just played his best game of the season too, but his other four were mediocre.

He wasn't at his best against Newcastle thats for sure but many of our last plays were on ourside of halfway. The other alleged play maker was ordinary as well.

Better player. Tho never seen him under the bomb while usually Rava is safe as houses.

Alleged play maker is right.

His defence was stupidly bad. Not one on one tackles but staying out when he should come in or usually coming in a taking only fresh air again and again. But so far this year., I think he's been better.

Coach accused Sloan of not showing intend fielding those grubbers. Jesus wept the conditions were atrocious for picking up the loose ball. I saw Sloan sliding all over the deck in an effort to nab the wet pill. To me that showed intent.

True but there were a couple of instances where he should have done better.

Good news indeed. Adding Alec Tui. But will Flanagan sack Mariner and Eisenhuth too. Doubt it.

That applies to all our blokes in those conditions. Knights had the correct game plan, put the pill on the toe in the end zone. They did it contantly, I think we did it once or twice.

Is Kyle Flanno soft in the head or it is his old man.The blue print for this guy should be the Tigers trial game.The way he set that left edge on a rampage had me thinking we have a competent game manager here so why all the previous sackings. I think he has shown us why in four of the next five games. Flanagan needs to tell the sook that his boy is to be first receiver for two of every four sets. Also for him to feed the edgies and the outside backs more. There are points a plenty if he does.

Rav getting scapegoated so no talks about Kyle?
