+x+xNext game v Rabbits probably our biggest challenge. A win will set us up. For what? Getting some momentum at the back end of the season. We have forwards coming back maybe we need to try a new halfback. Wins mean Potter is a chance to stay on and 23 builds on 22. Still plenty to play for, I would rather be going forward rather than backwards. After the Rabbits we have an easier game, some players coming back and the chance to post a few wins.

Tonight's game confirmed what I suspected, losing to the Sharks isn't a disaster, I will not be surprised if they win the comp.

Potter has plenty of coaching form to judge him on. Be careful about the last few games of a season. Remember Dean Pay. As for halfback. We can only hope. They seem to be sticking with Flanno no matter what at the moment.

DebTe around ‘luck loser’ should have played Nick in Wimbledon semi… I don’t like the idea of someone losing a quarter then possibly going on to win the title due to the winner of the quarter withdrawing…

They seem to be sticking with Flanno no matter what at the moment. If the media hacks can be believed our plan was to ship Flanno jnr off to the UK. I am inclined to believe it as that would be my plan. Apparently the 2 Flanno's vetoed it citing improved form under Potter. I agree he has improved under Potter most of the team have. Energy, involvement and defence all excellent, it is the attacking side of his game where he comes up short, and short by a very long way IMO. The most odvious candidates for this season are Wakeham and BBO, maybe they are short on energy, involvement and defence, but it is time to find out. Against the top sides we will not win with Flanno at half unless they have an off day. Equal share of posession and some execution and soild defence from them, our chances of winning plummet. A new half is needed to go to the next level, if Flanno doesn't like the UK, he can try reserve grade.

+xThere seems to be a lot of shit games this year. Never not watched or turned off so many games. Next year extra team with the consequential talent dilution. It would never happen but a 12 team comp, teams sensibly distributed, with two full rounds with home and away is about what the talent pool can adequately sustain. Quite subjective. If the teams weren’t playing this style of footy the game would be much more attractive. Every team simply runs block plays and hits it up with little to no creativity. If the six again rule is scrapped and the refs coach the game to the rules it’s a great project.

Klemmer best for Souths.
Even without him in the opposition team they will be hard to beat.
We need to number up on Walker and hit him with hard tackles at every opportunity.

Reserve grade are playing the Panthers this weekend.
Gus mentioned we want to look at a few more young players in NRL before the end of the season.
Here is my list of candidates,
Tanner, Tola, Cook, Makatoa, BBO, Hayward.
Any other possibilities?

There's no upside to the Brooks saga at the Tigers. Wether he goes or stays he's going to cost them a bomb. It just gets worse every time he takes the field.

I still hope that we have a plan to try a new halfback soon.

Sullivan looks like a good player, I hope that we sign him.

Why are the Dogs still on 8 points on the table? Four wins and a bye should be 10 by my calculations.

Shame about golf.
