I was at the game and I felt Woods played pretty well.

Well last year it was whatever Des did. This year us quickly heading to whatever seibold does. Oh the irony.
It's a case of who's available not who's in form Woodsie, no Jake, Sipley, Ahiloi there and Kelma. Hoping Jake returns early and Sammy boy finally gets the nod for a forward spot.
40 nil
It's only a game ...
I think Flanagan is more hard nosed than Seibold. If he was coach, it's likely heads would have rolled already. Unfortunately, coaches can become blind to lateral thinking possibilities. If something isn't done soon, the season will be lost....
There is a lot to be said for a coch showing faith in players .. and being loyal ... but the good ones know when to "fold 'em" ....
I don't think Seibold has gone to far .. yet ... but this week would have been enough for mine .... Kelma and the pastor being injured, and Jake and the Shu likely being back probably saved him from making the hard decisions ..
Would like to see Sykes get a run if it's allowed.
The below is what I would look at if Seibold, somehow he has to try and revive Tom as even now people who don’t watch manly as close are seeing where Tom is at.
Some investment in young Sam who could be the 13 the team needs next season.
1. Koula
2. Saab
3. Tommy Turtle
4. Burbo

Agreed. Those injuries will at least force some changes to be made. But I have to say Pastor Oshay looked well and truly cooked before he got injured. He was clearly not running freely and struggling to move laterally. Shoulder aside, I suspect his ever-present leg injury still needs some attention.
So would I ... but I'm not dropping Parker or Koula for him at this stage ... he will get his chance with injury sooner or later ...
Yeah, I quite like that team in the circumstances. Agree to elevating Burbo to starting second row. I think he earned it after yesterday's stint, and he is easily the best option from those currently available. I'd also be happy to see Fainu given a bench spot. That would encourage me looking to the future. Hopefully, he doesn't have to come on and fill in some backline position because of injury.
The slight variation would be to move Croker to lock, Jake back into prop rotation (Woods dropped), Lawton to hooker with Gordon to rotate that position from bench. More risk admittedly. We would lose some experience and be gambling on some significant shifts in key positions, but hey...
Most coaches are steered toward survival. A 6 week losing streak unsettles most
both seibs and flanno are close to the last chance saloon if if ended poorly, esp seibold. Rocking the boat and smashing the team mould is most affective in the off season rather than mid but an unlikely move from a new coach that joined the squad a bit later than hoped
the squad needs a couple of sacrifices to adjust attitude but replacements are thin and the best choice for a new coach was rainbow and lollipops . Soon it wont be
a few more losses and it could get nasty as players are slacking off and seibs will wear the brunt, for the same limp rrrrrs footy that has been ingrained into our team over the last 3 coaches minimum
