I reckon that if Ross was to drop Schnieder this week it would send an even more powerful message than the one that was sent when DalSanto & Milne got dropped. The reason the message would be so powerful is that there is a perception amongst many saints fans that Schnieder is a bit of "freckled duck" as far as protected species are concerned, and we all know that perception can sometimes be more powerful than reality.
A simple YES or NO will do (I don't know how to start polls )!!
Who would have guessed that Dempster would have gained favour over Schneider?!?!

yes he should be dropped as saints supporters think he is a protected species, the Dal/milne would've been a lot bigger wakeup call for the list than Schneider being dropped would ever be.

Public perception means nothing, it's not about making fans happy, it's about changing attitudes within the team.
First and foremost it's about getting the best 22 men on the field every week to do the job.
The answer to whether he should be dropped, is Yes.
Seeing our half forward flankers and smalls didn't come to play last week, someone has to go..too many stood and watched WCE defenders pick up the loose ball and run away.
YES hasn't really played a good game all season.
It would make alot of supporters happy to see that the coach doesn't just pick him because he was from Sydney

not only dropped but i'd be trying to offload him at seasons end,not that anyone would take him
unfortunatly think we are stuck with him ...hope to god he only had a 2yr contract & not bloody 3
if he plays 100 gms with us we are doomed
Schneider and Armo were two of our worst last game along with Gardi....though Armo's sin was basically just not getting enough of the ball considering he had 93% TOG.
Time to give Geary another sot considering his great form for Casey.
Birss has been putting his hand up too.
Flying the World in comfort thanks to FF Points....
Yes, drop him coz he is perceived as a spotted duck by some supporters. Doing so would send a clear message to the members that Ross doesn't play favourites just becoz they are from Sydney.
On a serious note: NO.
Funny how we want to give raw kids a run, yet certain players aren't afforded the same opp to settle in.
He had a shcoker, and on that logic, about 10 players should be dropped.
The lid is off after Round 2! Enjoy the journey, coz you just don't know where we'll end up. Live for today and seize the moment.
Yes.... was woeful against WC and has hardly fired a shot all year.. Seems overweight and uninspired...
Preseason many thought him coming to the club would spell the end for Milne... The opposite has occured, where Milne has lifted his output and had a solid, if not good year, where Schnides has gone backwards from his Swans days..
Ross needs to be consistant with his stance earlier this year with Dal and Milne.. Schnides must be dropped..

I think its more than 1 game Wayne where we've been looking for more....its hardly knee jerk to be honest.
Selecting Birss might be a good move,maybe they can bring Rix in for his farewell game for the Saints.....Ports ruck stocks aren't that flash at the moment so Rix might be able to play a blinder.....go out on a high...
i'm presuming Rix will be delisted at seasons end
Six debutants for the Saints so far in Season 2024.
I would think Birss and Geary will walk straight into the team next week, and I bet Rix and McEvoy would have been peed-off that Gardiner walked straight into the seniors and did bugger all.
