from God?

I agree with you.He is living off his past success

This is from our penalty machine Jordan Lane
I was quite bad at the weekend. I gave away about three or four penalties or six agains. It's something that I'm working on personally to try and negate from my game. Tony also showed us in our review that we gave away 16 penalties and 10 errors. so we need to eradicate them

Is the penny starting to drop?
The on field indiscipline has got worse since Tinkering Tony has been here yet he has done sweet FA about it.
I just think he his just going through the motions knowing the clubs financial situation

Why do fans go on about his fitness?
If he was fit enough to be on the bench two or three weeks ago and do 40 mins plus then he surely can do that now
Think we have to accept that Smith either doesnt like him or rate him as it seems he would rather play a one legged Houghton for 80 minutes

Thats why they call him tinkering Tony
Like last week at Catalan when Russell went off.
We had three forwards on the bench so rather than move Okunbor to wing,a position he has played he moves Walker to the wing and Hoy to full back which then negated the possibility of moving Hoy into the halves to add more zip which was probably the intention of having him on the bench

Im hoping when everyones back he starts holding the penalty machines accountable

Good summary and couldn’t agree more.

As thing stand this isnt a given as patience has been tested for far too long since 2018 and we've had too many false dawns/promises and what is for me one of the biggest grumbles is the lack of communication from the club.

Hoy
Tindall
Carlos
Sutcliffe
Mcintosh
Smith
Nu Brown
Ese'ese
Houghton

For me it's a lack of honesty. I know it's maybe not great business to come out and say we're skint, but I'd have a lot more respect for Pearson if he told us we're struggling to pay the big bucks and need to look at ways to reduce the cost of our outgoings (players wages).

I know it might put some people off, but as a pass holder for 20+ years I would then be more inclined to continue with that, knowing the club needs the money to make sure I still have a club to go and watch in another 20 years.

At the moment, I feel like I'm being fobbed off by the powers that be.

I don't miss Hethertington & Rule for lots of reasons but one good thing was when the fans were down they'd pull a big signing out the bag to get the tills ringing again. Such as 2009 was awful then Long, O'Meley and Fitzgibbon were announced and hey ho lots of passes sold and everyone waiting for the fixture list to come out. I do appreciate though that less big name players from the NRL will come to SL these days.
