And Butler stays in ..... seriously fk me dead
Out comes a backline stopper in Paton and replaced with ...... no like for like replacement
Not sure what drugs the selection committee are on but I want none of it
Does your head doesn’t it?
I mean it’s honestly not even about the wins for me anymore (I can see why Ratten needs it badly) cause this side is cooked
Anyone who thinks the hacks we are carrying in this side are gonna be there GF day are dreaming
Our forward structure with Butler etc as our “crumbers” doesn’t stand up when it matters
If you look at our wins we’ve often relied on King to kick more than usual or Higgins to get off the leash - that’s not going to work long term
You have to have more forward strings to your bow
Sharman is the future and is that lead up forward option we lack alongside King
We haven’t even given it a chance to work
It smacks of a desperate coaching group who know they’ve been found out reverting to their only 1 card trick
Let’s face it - even IF we magically beat Carlton
Is this plan taking us deep in September??????
We are in no man’s land
At least if Blues win we can stop pretending and maybe Sharman , Highmore “the future” can get a look in
