Jones appears to have named a team without a whole heap of surprises. Wasn't expecting a reinvention of the wheel, but I was at least expecting Shaun Johnson to be playing club footy somewhere in South Auckland this weekend. He's been woeful and isn't deserving of his starting spot.

@aucklandwarlord interestingly Volkman (young kid we stole from the Roosters) is in the reserves. Wont know until closer to game time, but until his name gets rubbed out, it could be a late switch... I hope because he has been the biggest flop
Eitherway even if a young kid is blooded, we need to start making some meters through the middle to give them a platform.
At least Curran back, however that wont solve that problem either, just plug up some other holes

Lol I'm not moving to Auckland to get sacked
well it seems Mark Robinson may even have him released as early as tomorrow with Stacy Jones as interim coach
Weeeelllll shit
I doubt this is an upgrade
Is it a downgrade though?

Do we have anyone left to jump in? Personally if we have some promising youth players I'd rather see them play. Having said that I don't think it is reasonable to expect Stacey to come in and chage everyone. If he can try to instill some pride in performance and some accountability that will be a start

yeah I know we are seriously lacking in our front row and but if youre also going to play Berry youre asking for touch rugby defence out wide. Probably better off playing E.Kotoa at centre, as although he is a sloppy defender, he will at least be a strike weapon in attack.
Talakai for 4 tries this weekend

Aaron Pene or Elisia Katoa could at least slot in on the bench, bringing Bunty or Dunamis Lui in to start at prop and Jazz could move to back into lock or similar. That would, if nothing else, add some more size into our pack. At this point we've got nothing to lose - why not give Pene some more game time, given he was signed for his potential.

@aucklandwarlord yep, get Pene in for experience alone. He’s going to learn some lessons which will (with the right coaches and leaders around him) help him in the future regardless of how he actually performs in the remainder of this year.
Love Stacy but he doesn’t strike me as what we need.
Like you I’ve been a supporter since day 1. I’ll never forget a road trip I took to the Gong to watch their first game in OZ back in 95. None of my bros wanted to go so I drove by myself from Melb to watch us play the old Illawarra team. I was pumped after our debut game. We lost but I saw enough to think we weren’t going to be a flash in the pan or fold after a couple of seasons.
Other than when I was in the UK for a couple of years in the late 90s and I didn’t see any games, I’ve pretty much watched every game. It’s painful, but I keep saying to myself, surely it won’t be as bad as last week…
We’ve had our fair share of ups and downs but this is the low of the lows and I think anyone involved in the club first needs to accept there isn’t a simple fix to all of the crap.
