However I've just had a crazy thought. What if a miracle did happen? The robins faces will be redder than their shirts. Mad idea I know.
Topical post analogy.
10 over par. We missed the fairway every time and blew all our puts.

Over 30 times conceding 50+ points, thats not coaching thats the ability of the players. The older they get the worse they get.
I said when Smith was appointed he wouldnt change this squad. The players arent good enough and that is fact. Craig Bellamy wouldnt change the tide here.
Its the players and nobody else.
From what I've seen, he is certainly part of the problem this season, although the players are the biggest issue, but he keeps picking certain ones.
I'd love someone to give me a reason Evans gets picked and Savelio was dropped for example. Playing one hooker today is another example. Carlos as captain. Playing a rusty and out of form Shaul.
Hands are tied alot, but making some strange decisions.

Shaul is awful these days unfortunately. Every time he gets the ball he just runs in a circle then gets tackled after losing a few metres. Time will tell if Litten is good enough to make it but he at least deserves a chance. For me Shaul has just played himself out of the team for the foreseeable future.
Think Smith got it way wrong playing him to begin with. Litten has been a positive among countless negatives this season.

Maybe thrown themselves or their kids off, mind you they’re too busy eating them. Saw 2 FC fans throw their shirts onto the pitch and flick v’s after one of Rovers tries. One cheeky bugger asked the ball boy to pass them to him Things are bad but it’s the nilling I can’t take.

Evans is rubbish but playing in the NRL with good players around you make a massive difference. Look at Soa playing for Samoa. Probably the weakest forward in their team but he looked OK because of the players around him
