There really does need to be some changes and some youngsters need to be put in. Langley, Sheriffe, Newton, Deacon should all be dropped.

Halley
Straugheir
Menzies
Nero
Tadulala
Hyde
Sykes
Lynch
Godwin
Scruton
Morrison
Whitehead
Donaldson

Horton
Burgess
Cook
Kopzcak

But we all know we'll probably see the same shower of $hite as this week.

If Jeffries is fit i'd be tempted to put him in over Hyde, but he won't be here next season so seen as the season is over we may aswell put Hyde in there.

Well Jefferies should be back next week. Deacon CANNOT be allowed his free ride anymore. That BS McNamara brought out the other week as to why Tadulala, Jefferies and Koppy got dropped because of their form, well the 3 of them might not have had the best of games the previous week however Deacon provides nothing to the team any more.

Yet again, Deacon was dreadful and Newton was dire.

However, I thought that Langley had one of his better games.

He may well have done, but I stick by the fact that he's not a loose forward, he plays like a prop, just drives the ball in, well here's a good idea, play him at prop and let a skilful player (Burgess, Donno, Menzies, Morro etc.) play at LF.

Langley? One of our better players today, surely?

I agree. I've been very critical of Langley this year, but I didn't think he was too bad today. He broke the line once, made a few decent yards and tackled his heart out.

The most important thing is that he put 100% effort in, which the likes of Sheriffe and Newton quite clearly did not.

We need some skill and creativity at LF, which is something Langley doesn't offer. Use him as a prop but then Kopzcak will have to be dropped as both Scrutes and Lynch were quality today.

Best game from Langley in ages

A comment that doesn't seem to have been posted is how well Scrutton played today; compared to his form at the start of the season, he continues to improve and was in my opinion, our most effective foward today!

I've been saying for about 3 years that Langley would make a better prop. I still think he would, but I don't expect the clueless coaching staff to notice.

Yes, I totally agree. A loose forward should be creative, which he just is not. He seems to enjoy the physical side, so I reckon the only way he can justify his place in any future Bulls team is at prop.

He played LF, second row and prop today - preferred him in the latter 2

I would agree with that. I do think Langers had a better game today but I'd prefer him as a workhorse 2nd rower.

I agree with that, Scruton gets better every game, he plays with aggression and actually makes an impact.

Fair call tbf - although he blotted his copybook with those two errors towards the end.

Only ones who came out with any credit today were Langley, Halley, Semi and Scruton imo.

I thought Nero was impressive too. Tackled strongly and made good yards.

The Team for next week should not include Deacon, Sheriffe and Worincey. Deacon could be relied on to kick goals at one time, can't even do that now. How is Worincey keeping Cook out of the Team? McNamarra just cannot see the flaws in the players he has signed. Play a team full of young kids, what's the worse that could happen? We lose again!

Godwin, Nero, Morrison, Lynch ?

Yes ok, agree with those.

Morrison was quiet I thought, and Lynch by his standards.

I suppose they were, but to be fiar our captain isn't setting a very good example by not looking d at all. If he is still here (and I pray he isnt) then Deacon shouldn't be captain next season, but then who?

Obvious candidates would be Lynch or Menzies, but it would be better being a player who would be on 80 mins nearly every match (and hopefully we can use Menzies as an impact player next season).

Langley is another who comes to mind, and maybe he'd up his game if he was given captaincy (although atm he doesn't deserve it).
If we bring in an experienced halfback ( like Orford) they would be another candidate.
