Not a bad looking side, and given the injuries probably the best we can field.

Thankfully no Okunbor in the backline.

That said I don't give us a snowballs chance in hell of getting remotely close to the Sharks on this one.

A Sutton and Butler as officials?
We've more chance of winning a hat draw rigged against us!!!

As for our line-up, lets try to get players into their natural positions, injured players off the field and do something about the lack of attack in the side.

If you want a utility role on the bench, swap Davey and Clarke.
Burton is somewhere he can run, yet also make use of his ball playing skills.
We play two actually recognised halves that grew up playing halves and show signs of actually being able to attack, and advise them to go out there and play for fun, yet to own the side, as if it is THEIR side.
We have a recognised fullback who has grown up playing that position.
Someone tell Cockinher that if he comes in from the wing position, he will be hooked for the rest of the season, take two extra metres behind the play to what he thinks he needs, actually focus upon catching the ball, and run at the opposition like he hates them.
Reed to act as a support role for the halves and to fold all but the most outrageously favourable hands.

And most of all, advise the players to privately discuss as a players group, at what point they collectively believe enough shit from the NRLOL ref's is enough and to just walk from the field as a protest against their bias, and hold each other to that if the Ref's go beyond that level of bullshit.

All in all less damage than I expected, albeit still disappointing because if we cut out the stupid errors, silly penalties and ruck infringements, we go very close to winning that game (or perhaps even win).

We can't keep continuing with Flanagan though. May as well just play with 12 men because he offers absolutely nothing.
