I don't think he has impressed me so far this year. I know he was injured for half of it but even so...
Hard to say this after 8 rounds, but we need to focus on our future. I dont see us resigning Kelly and he wasnt to blame for todays loss (played his part last week).
Our team should look something like (and stick with it)
Brimson
Sami
Fifita
Schoupp
Khan-Pereira
Campbell
Boyd
Tino
Randall (until Verrills)
Mo
Fifita
Hass
Liu
Leeming
Stimson
Mikaele
Clarke or Foran (as a ball playing lock only - which is a stretch)

Good Evening
I hope you are all well.
The last few years have been terrible for me but I’m fighting on.
I won’t go further into it.
I don’t miss social media at all but I decided at the start of this year that I would make an appearance whenever I deem a game to be a “MINI GF”.
Well this is it. Holbrook can survive and our season can still be potentially a positive one if these brain dead and at times heartless super talented footballers turn it around this week and give us a famous win for all the diehard supporters of our beautiful little city.
I still lurk and honestly I lurk because of HS and MDREW.
And yes it is me.
I’ll post again after the MINI GF.

Sam Mac instead of Clark/Foran and I think you've picked our best 17 or close to it.
Possibly swap JC to fullback and AJ to 6 if AJ is happy to play in the halves.

Just. Name. A. Solid. Team. That. Will. Get. The. Job. Done.
Sure, we aren't doing as bad as the Tigers, but with memberships on the rise and a decent culture growing within the club, we are gonna want to start seeing some bloody results. We're not in a bad position, but some games we definitely should have won. Like today.
I will say it again so it can travel subconsciously to Holbrooks brain:

Just thought I'd have a look on here for the first time in a while to see the meltdown comments and saw your post mate. Sorry to read that you have been having a lousy time of it and I hope things pick up for you soon. You're a good man.

I've got the same 13 except keeping Stimson in for some continuity. If Klese pulls through ok, I'd look to swap them the following week.
The last two spots on the bench are up for grabs IMO. How did Alick, Vuna and Sam Mac go this week? Can we have Iszac back before Round 11?
I want to leave AJ at the back and play JC at 6 too. I think JC can make the tackles in the line and AJ organises our D better at FB.

It was Holbrook's idea to bring Foran to the club.
The selection over the next few weeks will provide a view on whether JH is protecting himself but not dropping his marquee signing or if he is selecting the side based on form and poor games are punished by time on the bench or QCup.

Welcome back! I'm delighted to have you guest star. I hope we can have many MINI GFs to come. You've been missed.
I agree about HS and MDREW. Their work has been very selfless and they have been very generous with sharing their time and knowledge and insights. In fact I think I'd go further and say that it has certainly rubbed off and had a lasting impact on many fans and focused them on the positive coming from the grassroots.
One day we will get the blocks of this club to click together. And I think we are half way there.
I love following an underdog club, but it's a bit much sometimes!
