Does anyone know if Robson will be right to play against Manly? I would not want to drop Nu Brown, would love to see him partner Carney in the halves if Carney is fit.

I don't think it matters anymore Chad.

This year will be our first wooden spoon since 1969.

I'm still clinging to some forlorn hope we can avoid it. We just need our troops back and string a few wins together. If we get everyone back and keep them healthy we can beat some sides.

Would be nice, but we've been saying that all year!
Let's keep blooding the new boys and set up for 2015.

I'll agree with you there, but deep down we have too much going on, both off and on the field.

The players have lost their mojo, fans are slowly losing theirs.

I'll except the spoon so we can concentrate on 2015.

But..............I loved to be proved wrong.

As depressing as it would be to "win" the wooden spoon, it might be a wake up call for some at the club that something isn't right. We've gotta try and find a positive out of this.

The club just doesn't seem to have a lot of energy.

We need to be revitalised.

We've had a heap of management reviews done over the last 15 years or so, but nothing ever gets better. Probably time for one more, but it should be done by someone that is going to stick around and implement the changes. Preferably by someone with a bit of energy.

People are being very harsh on Gagan. I saw plenty of potential there, he made some strong runs. Sure he made some errors but the Dragons were strolling though us and putting us under enormous pressure.

It seems to me like there is something going on at the club that we don't know about. I've seen us lose multiple games in a row but bit quite like this before. Is there some serious disharmony within the playing group at the moment? Or between the players and Sharpe?

Taga needs a nswcup wake up call, ayshfords needs to retire with what little dignity he has left, robbo just needs to not be here.

No it wouldn't. They would just use a mountain of excuses. No flanno, injuries, hard times with ASADA.

Its just bull**** that not only was this year a write off, but we don't have anyone to blame and everyone gets off scott ****ing free.

I know that those are pretty good excuses, but it is still annoying because we would still be doing all the little things like blockers and **** wrong anyway.

We are cursed. Name another club that has been so often dogged by bad luck and bad management. Bad luck list would include the rubbish deal greg hartley gave us when we came closest to breaking our duck and whole lot since. Bad management: there just isn't enough bandwidth and server memory available to catalogue it. I doubt we will win again this season, so it's hard to see us avoiding the spoon. i, too, would love to be proved wrong. ASADA drama is obviously a factor but, honestly, has Sharpe said anything post-loss this season to suggest that he has any idea? By the time the ASADA business finally unfolds and we (hopefully) recover from that, most of our quality players will be due or past due retirement. In the meantime, what young player with any sort of potential would want to sign with such a hapless and hopless club? It's easy to imagine young local talent heading elsewhere in droves. Consequently, we'll be left signing discards from other clubs who don't want freeze their arses off in England. It could be ten years before we threaten again. Even in the awful eighties, I had more hope for success than I do now. I am seriously despondent and in danger of becoming disinterested. Of course, I'll keep supporting the club but it's never hurt so much to do so. Rant over. Brently out.

As Slide said earlier, we need someone to come in behind the scenes with energy and vision. I don't see that happening unfortunately. It has been a rough year though. I'm just hoping that there is some light at the end of the tunnel.

Luke Lewis in the centres? Explain.
