Good to see a smiling Gordy joining in with the rest of the boys in the team victory song.

I would like to think we get to see GCKT on the end of those offloads some time this season.
Perhaps even against the Dragons in DCEs 300th game next week? That combination could become a real game changer for us.

He must be a bit of a chance this weekend but who knows

Let’s all have a chew!
He was ready enough to play trials and did well. Can’t see why he wouldn’t get a run in the next two dead rubbers. Not sure what his form in Reggie’s has been like tho.
If not madness, certainly an agenda
Consider the way in which the owners have placed expectations on the coach
Much like Des previously our owners have been firm in their belief that we have a premiership squad (and lets me clear this is not a view I share).
What room is there for experimentation? What room is there for long term thinking?
What is the incentive for the coach to experiment and maybe get an adverse result in two games that we really should win?

The incentive would be this: We ain't going to win a premiership this year. Another year like this one and Seibold won't have a job. May as well see what the fella is like to see whether he can be included in next year's plans. It makes sense to anyone with half a brain to play him as a rotational dummy half.
You would hope that blind Freddy (or Penny) could see that it would be for the purpose of exposing potential 1st Graders in those games. Coz as long as it's clear we won't "win" the spoon, what difference does it really make finishing 10th or 14th? Maybe on paper it doesn't look good but surely as a business person that Penn supposedly is, he would see the longer term benefit of that.
Or am I being too logical??!!

I firmly believe that is not the organisation and business we have
To be clear I would have given him a run but I can see why the coach has not

Point out one person who has said he should play ahead of Croker. Not a crazy ask for people to want to see some fresh blood in the squad when we're already down on troops and playing as poorly as we are.. and you can't tell me Arthur is a better interchange option when he (if he doesn't swap with Schuster pre game) will play 10 minutes max at the end of the game while Croker is out there gassed and doing nothing but tackling
And besides that Gordie can't be that far off, he played well in the trials, has been part of the matchday squad a number of times and he's captained a Blacktown team that've been better than they've ever been. Sure his defence could be a concern but so is Croker's attack.. almost like we could rotate them as their strengths complement eachother?
Agree...but you can see why they would buy Brooks rather than wait / take a chance on Latu as they believe we are almost there..
I think it wouldn't be terrible for him to get 20 mins for a couple of matches, especially if we lose tonight. May as well give him a run.
