Ricky, if your listening, please **** off Luke Covell the slowest winger to ever grace a football field. Then end Corey Hughes career. Please take the Ian Donnelly experiment with them and throw in Brian Norrie while your at it. How Blake Ferguson isnt on Covell's wing is beyond me.

Shut Up You Hater. Covell Deserves A First Grade Spot The Team Just Isn't Using Him. Not Once Have The Halves Kicked To Him This Year. IMO Drop Him For One Week Like Last Year.

Luke Covell isent that bad he is a very good player but on the other hand with Hughes, he shouldn't sack him either, he just hasent hit is best for us yet, just wait until he finds form, he'll be an excellent player for us

Don't worry mate Ricky will swing the axe he has to. I'll agree with you on Hughes and Covs. Donnelly was a stupid idea and still is I dont think he made any metres after the line today. But for mine Norrie stays, puts his hand up for hit ups non stop.

See the problem with most of you is that you have put Covell up on a god like pedestal that it is now starting to affect your ability to see his usefulness has come to an end. He runs sideways out of dummy half, kicking has fallen away and nearly every winger in the comp would have scored that try in the corner where he stepped back inside causing an "obstruction" with Reni. There is no way he should be in that team in front of Ferguson and Ferguson cant be kept on the bench.

Covell has got to go, he's as slow as a wet week and his kicking is **** lately. It's probably because he isn't getting much practise as we can't score trys.

It was his defence to me that was poor today. He was constantly in to far and it resulted in cowboys attacking him cause of it all day.

Guys just watch the game but this time Picture Covell as Simmons, then use will see how bad he played today in defence.

You cant be serious. He was probably our best player today and looked most likely to do something. Covell defends about 15 metres in every set no matter where his opposite winger is and he was lucky not to get scored on four or five times in that first half. I've had enough, he has to go.

Covell sure isnt doing anything special, but he certainly isnt doing anything wrong anyway, who can blame him, when nearly most of the team is playing ordinary, you cant dump the blame on one bloke, plus he's our superstar goal-kicker, even though he's a bit out of form with it atm, but hey, we love him.

How can you be looking at a winger to drop? FMD, why don't you start getting on Zappia's case for the loss of Kimmorley, Bird, De Gois. None of them should have been allowed to leave, and I laugh at the Kimmorley haters on here, what a ridiculous decision was made to cut him. You keep him and Bird and we are not in the sh** we are in today, nor at bottom of the table and that is a fact. Half of the battle playing a team game is having a good understanding with fellow players and building it. Kimmorley had that, so as far as I am concerned the people that got rid of Kimmorley and Bird and
De Gois have a lot to answer for.

Have to say Cov hasn't done anything special to impress me. If we converted those tries last week we would have had more of a chance. Nothing like points on the board to lift morale.

Agree - what was Ricky thinking with Donnelly? Every person on this earth knows we need backs!

Because he is way out of form and we are carrying him. Pretty ****ing simple really. Can you really tell me that we will miss his crab like "darts" accross field out of dummy half and is ability to create an overlap by constantly coming in off his wing? And how about his cronic lack of pace? Goalkicking?

LOL poor Corey is coping your frustration, did you notice there is 16 other players in your side

Yeah, I noticed them, they are the ones with ability and something to offer the team. Whats your point?

I am not looking at wingers for us being MINUS 54 points. Our attack is poor and he is not responsible for our attack.

Yes, he is not responsible, but he doesnt really add to it either does he? Tell me what other first grade team would play Covell in first grade?
