Quoting Peter smiths opinion is the dictionary definition of straw clutching.

Fully expecting Blease to have 'The Momster' on notice for next season, he's just so far below what is expected from an NRL centre it's actually ridiculous.

Hardly alone in that regard.
Miller and Frawley haven't really covered themselves in glory and they got a preseason in.

I think there are alot of things to sort for next year and the top two have to be coach and the pack.
Imo it feels like another " three year rebuild" all over again, which was always a danger with a less experienced coach and so many project signings

I know it was just a bit of fun Exeter .
We’ve got to be careful though, if we start calling him “The Momster”, the South Stand may think it’s okay to tell us “Sam Lisone’s the best on earth”, and before we know it these crazy nicknames and songs may spiral well out of control. In fairness to you, there’s more chance of our current number 4 being a “Momster” than the ludicrous Sam Lisone claims.

If you think Esseh was better than Oledski id question what you are watching to be honest.

17 metres from 5 runs is not good at all for a starting prop

Do me a favour Oledski couldn't bust his way through a wet paper bag our hardest carrier of the ball is O'connor also if Eseeh Jr is as rubbish as you make out why is the coach starting him? Instead of say Sangare or Lisone?

Our pack has been at or under average this season, but actually I think with some tactical switches we'll see more from them. We definitely need 2 more real high quality big physcial things in there though.

I'm not sure all is rosy once the pack is sorted though. I really don't think our centres have been great most of the season. For a club with heritage centres like Innes, Iro, Senior, Moon, Godden etc. I just think the current two are poor. Coupled with Miller's mistakes and whenever the pack has worked hard to get us position, we have typically wasted opportunities.

Really interesting to hear Arthur take our performances apart, he is spot on. His comments to imply that RS left a bit of chaos in the playing systems for sure, I don't think he's a fan of how the side is trying to play.

He’s not on his own, there’s been lots of us for a long time now. The fundamentals of the game remain territory and possession, we’ve been playing neither and expecting to get results from miracle plays.

The pack are responsible to get us up the park and keep us there, and the backs for scoring, that hasn’t really changed in 100 years.

Our pack needs sorting then we can tweak the other bits that need attention. BA knows this far better than anyone on here does.

No need for the personal angle.

What do you think im being deluded about?

Esseh is a good young prospect, the way he’s being elevated by some on here is bizarre, and it seems it’s because he’s not actually one of our players so must be automatically better.

He’s got some great aggression in defence, he’s got errors in him (like most young players) but is pretty poor in attack and makes very little metres.

I would be more than happy if we kept him.

What do you mean "keep him" exactly? Do you have some Intel?

The penny is dropping jim, welcome to the party Maybe career coach Rohan didn't 'know best', and those 'who actually know anything' (as you said) can't really give any tangible examples of the 'good things' he left behind.

I’m getting very bored of the constant “I told you sos” on here. All I have personally ever done is provide what I believe to be an even viewpoint based on the evidence. This has included being critical of RS where required. If you guys can’t accept any other viewpoint than your own you make this board feel like a school playground.
