If you are touting giving the young blokes a go for next year especially forwards then you would have to nclude the 20's Front rower Luke PAGE in that mix. He certainly knows how to bend the line, something we are not doing in order to get the backs on the front foot.:banana:Quote:

It doesn't really make sense to me, it's truly bizzare. It's like we are such in the Twilight Zone. We have a good team and we have quality players. But they aren't offering us quality performance. Only a handful of players would you give anything above a C+ for 2011 so far.
I think we need to focus on the fundamentals, put our head down and go up the middle. Don't force the plays, look for field position and pressure.
Maybe the team spirit is on a downer. It feels like that bad feeling after losing to the Roosters in the Preliminary Final has actually carried on. But up until then we were tremendous, it's a mood. Maybe it has to do with the re-building process of our club, the changing of the guard. We have new blokes coming in and we have big names heading out. We have lost Brad Meyers as well to injury. Throw in the patch work of team consistancy we have had with many of our big names being injured.
I think we just need to treat it like Origin, go old school, team bonding.
thats a good one toopi a better centre then tonga you should write for letterman :laugh:Quote:

eh he will come good with it all, just give him a shot at the 1st grade side and keep him there for at least 5 games and then make a real assessment of if he is a bust or not, i dont think that will be the case thoughQuote:
