Maloney must be due a break after playing nearly 10 mins a game every week.



I'd go with
1 Motu
2 Raynor
3 G.Horne
4 Yeaman
5 Broughton
6 R.Horne
7 Berrigan
8 Dowes
9 Lee
10 King
11 Tickle
12 Burnett
13 Whiting

14 Houghton
15 Manu
16 Thackray
17 Moa

Looks good, i would do the same, but we know Thorman and Radford are going to be in the starting line up

I reckon the 2 players to be cut out will be Houghton and G.Horne.

One of the few who has been performing,based on performances which Agar has threatened about all week I would drop Berro before Houghton.

1 Motu
2 Raynor
3 Whiting
4 Yeaman
5 Broughton
6 R.Horne
7 Thorman
8 Dowes
9 Berrigan
10 Thackray
11 Tickle
12 Burnett
13 Radford

14 Houghton
15 Lee
16 Manu
17 King

So would i but i can see Houghton getting dropped.

For me it'd be

Tony
Raynor
Whiting
Yeaman
Broughton
Horne
Thorman
Dowes
Berrigan
Thackray
Burnett
Tickle
Lee

Houghton
Manu
Moa
Horne (as I wonder about his fitness)


But more empty promises by Agar, the coc.k.

Maybe Maloney should take a leaf out of Fuifui Moimoi's book, and say that he'll only train for 10 minutes if that's all he'll play.

Thorman's done alright in the last 2 games and he shouldn't be axed for his last few performances.

Why even come out with threats of dropping players if its not gonna happen?

I've been prepared to give Agar/Sharp time but they obviously have no idea, no authority, no motivational skills, no respect, no game plans other than 5 drives and a kick, no desire to shake things up at the club & no balls to make the tough calls

The way the players are playing they obviously don't support the coach otherwise they'd try to stop him getting the boot, which must surely only be a matter of time.

So if you were Agar and your job/reputation was on the line would you put your trust in the same players who have let you down week in week out?

No you wouldn't, well I wouldn't, Drop half a dozen of them, play the u21's, then if you get hammered and the board question the result tell them the players are out of line and need sorting, the board then make a decision whether to support you or not. But at least you could go out fighting your own corner.

The way things are it seems Agar is happy to hide behind previous poor recruitment and wait til next year and let the players do what they want............we need a coach not a puppet for the senior players at the club.

Disappointed with Agar. He had the opportunity to send the message to the players "and the fans" that poor performances wont be tolerated ....Spineless.

He needs to go.

Yep, for the reasons that have been stated all through this thread. No bottle to carry out the changes he threatens/promises. The one kid who does get punished is made a scapegoat for everyone else for FAR too long. I wonder if any of the 4 subs will need to put their kit on this week?

For Me
Tony
Raynor
Whiting
Yeaman
Broughton
Horne
Thorman
Dowes
Berrigan
Radford (plays as third prop so use him as prop to start let Jamie impact from bench)
Burnett
Tickle
Lee (To give an option to the halfs at the end of sets )
Houghton
Thackray
king/Moa
Manu (impact from bench)

Like it. Lee definitely worth a shout at 13 and an impactful bench there.

what a f00king joke the spineless b@st**d, i hope someone drops him

Scared of them

I can't think which game it was, but he played there for a few minutes once and in those few minutes (with Houghton or Berrigan at Hooker, I can't remember) , we looked a much better side. That's why I put him at 13 in my line-up, too.

Do you have inside info

Tony
Raynor
G.Horne
Yeaman
Broughton
R.Horne
Berrigan
King
Lee
Dowes..(tempted to rest him)
Burnett
Tickle
Whiting (C)

Houghton
Manu
Moa
Tackray

are you richard agar????

Probably not. His selections made sense.

if the teams something along those lines the 'injuries' excuse can't be even mentioned, apart from Broughton everyone has experience in that lineup, and its only Cusack, Calderwood and possibly Washbrook short of full strength.

if we can't do it now when the pressures on they are never going to do it

1 Tony
2 Raynor
3 Whiting
4 Yeaman
5 Broughton
6 R Horne
7 Thorman
8 Dowes
9 Berrigan
10 Thackray
11 Burnett
12 Tickle
13 Radford

14 Houghton
15 G Horne / Lee
16 Manu
17 King

Thats what I reckon it will be.

Would rather see Airlie Bird at 13 than Radford!

No mate just pi**ed off with only Danny coming off the bench strong and the last tackle options being predictable plus I'm grumpy at being on nights friday so will miss the game
