Just sack Rutten already. The guy has no balls at all. I hope his handling of Shiel is the final straw that gets him sacked

No Tex 
Is our first Dreamtime no brothers? Just adding insult to injury with everything else.
He’ll prob be the sub that said for token gesture

Is this the first time we haven’t had an indigenous player representing the club for this game?
Garbage changes. Not a good start.
So that one week off, Smith is right to go then? Fk me.
Hopefully a late out for Tex.

Smith was only out for illness
Does it count if Tex is the sub?
Rutten is a Worsfold clone. Senior players continues to perform poorly- coach continues to play them
The guy is a clown.
So disgusted by him and the rest of the coaches

■■■■ weak . Don’t let the door hit your ■■■ on the way out. DEVON SMITH
Spare me. Tex should be ahead of him.
Mahoney and Rutten need to go . No flair ,no risk taking nothing

I don’t even know what the hell the match committee is thinking any more. I mean, sometimes this season I’ve been able to understand it and think it’s wrong, but wtf?
Aside from MANY MANY other questions, what happened to Smith’s mini-preseason? Did we just completely throw it out the window when we rushed him back for the Hawks game?
Anyway, I assume Wanganeen will be the injury sub so we can get him to toss the coin, just to pretend we actually have an indigenous representative on the team, right?

Maybe they’re protecting Hird, Wanga, etc from the ensuing massacre.

The smith situation is the most incredibly baffling and strange thing I have seen. Surely Tex gets game time over smith, Baldwin over Francis/ Waterman. Kelly is fkg average, would rather another tall

Jones as an emergency is also another dumb call?

Don’t look at the recent Facebook post then. Pictures of Longy, Wanga, and Alwyn with the word “iconic”. FFS, should have used the “Ironic”. Why post anything when we have no-one this week. Just go and hide under the carpet you flogs.
