Actually looks like Schoupp and Heleta are not in our top 30,
No sign of Harding?
With Crichton nd Okunbor having injuries maybe we can get an exemption?

We also have T. Katoa a winger in our top 30, ok player.

We have too many duds in the top 30. Options are limited.

Also Doorey and Topine part of the development squad and can't play NRL until after round 10?

We could sum this up as many of our better reserve graders can't be selected for NRL at this stage.

If I were coach, my focus would be to rectify the line speed in attack and defence. That means 1 immediate change (Dietz into starting 13). 

No other changes needed unless Avo cannot provide sufficient support to Flano in the halves. 

Whatever this club does, it absolutely MUST get Dietz into the top 30 and must get him on the starting team.

Pretty sad that the fate of the club rests with a 26 year old journeyman who has played 30 odd minutes in first grade covering an injury.

Don't get the fascination with Deitz. Need a lot more evidence to see him as our saviour

After his long lost brother Toby Rudolf got slapped by the NRL, Has this forum now also sanctioned the supercoach?

Oi Dman.... where you at?

You have condemned Starling to a year in second grade with your coaching nous... Deitz will be in Ron Massey Cup orcthe classroom by the time you’re done...

Flying under the radar...

Not much we can do until we have forwards that can run over the advantage line hard, hit hard in defence and stick and a hooker that can put them in a position to do so. 

That won’t help

I  chipped in $1.50 towards your bail, I didn't get a receipt....

Rumour has it you’ve called in Mal Meninga as a coaching director after the weekend result??

I can see why the club are being careful with the top 30.

After round 10 development squad players can play, having good players in the development squad helps.

For now, Baz has limited options, we will see what he comes up with.

We do need to have a long hard look at the top 30 for 2022, I am expecting that many in current top 30, are playing for a contract and are unlikely to get one.

Bring on the Donkeys.

Burton would do more to help the side than Dietz. Nspa finding some form or swapping Napa for a decent prop will help. Tommo will help. It will take more than 1 player to turn things sround.

I’ve gone a step further and engaged Dr Mocki...
Enjoy your week in the sun mate... 

Appreciate the contribution, but Villis cousin is my bookkeeper (car dealer, green grocer, security, realtor, and stylist) ... don’t hold your breath...
#stylebysalim...

Buggered if know how the likes of you and plenty other SCs who performed well this week but have a significant number of non playing reserves will make money to purchase upgrades as the season progresses...

Confucius says:- Drunk man can be very dangerous... to his liver!

You just worry about your own backyard supercoach...

You’re looking at doing a Newtown Jets with that move?

Burton now would be good. Another prop and a good hooker even more so. We desperately need more go forward 

While I agree we need to make space in the cap and the top 30.

As things stand I would swap Napa for Burton and use the extra space in the cap to sign or promote a young prop.

I think Schoupp would help the team in go forward and attacking threat, but we can't fit him in the 30.
I don't know if he is even in the development squad.

Ava S got MOM and was rated by people who saw reserve grade live.
I am judging reserve grade by stats, that is a poor substitute for actually seeing the game.

At some stage Britt might be worth another try, like Wardell his biggest problem is pushing low percentage passes sometimes.

Napa might come good, but so far he is a lot worse than the 2020 Napa and the 2020 Napa only had 3 good games. We got more out of Aaron Woods and that is a statement I didn't expect to make.

RFM out for 4months

Bugger.. I blame Des.

The problem with the Napa swap, I think we had to cover some of his contract payments. After the last two games if we tried to ask for the swap now, either the price would have tripled (leaving us broke) or a flat NO (leaving us destitute)...... take your pick.

Team named. No unforced changes.
T Katoa for DWZ.
Stimson for RFM.

So the coach is more patient than the fans.

At least I will not get to see DWZ making the same errors this week.

The Broncos are sure to test our edge defences.

Walters has improved their style, they are in better form.

We need to play significantly better to win, but they can make errors, especially when under pressure.
So we should get more possession and scoring opportunities.
The rain may have eased off by Saturday, a dry track may suit us better.

But FP Katoa is not a winger. He's not a hooker either but definately not a winger. BtW FP stands for " forward pass".

Penriff now have two blokes with similar names there's Kikau and their left winger Kickout. That's what I am going to name him from here on in after he took that leg swing at one of our blokes. And it was good to see the V'RLol conveniently miss the incident.

Oh Ok my bad wrong Katoa. There's two of them!

Kickout is Matty Utai in disguise.....

Tui Katoa had a couple of games at the back end of last year.
Very limited opportunities but always seem to beat a tackle or 2 when running the ball from our quarter, as he always had to as that's where we always were.  

Tui Katoa might be small in stature but he runs the ball with speed. 

He's not a bad replacement to come in but he wont chante the game. That needs to happen in the middle. 

We desperately need big mobile forwards. We currently have forwards that are slow and big or mobile and small. If we could just sign somebody to partner Thompson!!!
