    What about Heeney. His disposal and disposal decisions are woeful. Handballs to players under pressure and that last handball to Jones was just typical of how he plays. Is now moving into the over rated range. He should be taking this game by the scruff of the neck.

    We are so slow at moving it on and getting smashed in the midfield. They made a big mistake not tagging Cripps and it appears our blokes are scared of tackling him.

    We have forgotten how to stick a tackle. Only guy who I trust on the tackle is Rampe, the rest seem to fall off way to easily.

    But Ralph, MC Cartin is slow moving it on then turns it over constantly. He doesn't appear to be a thinking player at this stage of his career.

    McCartin's marking and work rate have been outstanding.

    Actually I think we are moving it on too fast, under pressure, with players not ready to receive the ball.

    Right now only 2 of our players are deserving of a vote; Parker and Rampe. You could raffle the rest of them. Kennedy looks cooked.

    Hayward won't be dropped until at least 2024. It's in Longmire's new contract.

    Hayward was a great set shot until Steve Johnson became our forwards coach.

    Agree ugg. Too desperate to play on at all costs.

    As I read it Heeney was expecting Jones to be going high speed and hit the ball in front him, only to find Jones wasn't doing much more than a jog.

    I'm with you on the disposal gripe, but Heeney is not the worst example: we are spraying the ball in all directions and not following through with run.
    He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)

    Plenty of passengers today. We are hanging in by the skins of our teeth. Watching Cripps play emphasizes how much JPK has declined unfortunately. Hopefully not permanent because he's been the heart and soul of the team.

    We're better off with Clarke in the team providing a shutdown role than Ronke, who's not playing any role. Not meaning to be mean to the kid, but if he manages to gather the ball clearly and dispose of it to a teammate in the second half, I'll be surprised.

    Heinous game. Bad skills by both sides and just bulk numbers around the ball. We're trying to move fast at all times but our skills are bad and the conditions arent suitable for it.

    Ronke and Hayward surely have to go. Kennedy has been good the last few games, everyone relax on him
