meehan should be sacked immediately, though wp types still think he is doing a great job.

yet people in the same breath wonder why standards have dropped.

Currently a member of the Roupies, and employed by the great man Roup.

I don’t think WP and his types are saying that LM is doing a great job. I think they’re defending the defensible which, to be fair, hasn’t been much.

Ok putting my moderators cap for a minute, keep baiting with tripe like your comments above then you will receive a strike. There is absolutely no need to belittle, bait and troll when you are trying to make a point. Can I make it any clearer for you?

Now cap off and to your point

I will repeat this for you for the final time

I have never, ever said he is doing a good job. So to suggest otherwise is an outright lie! I have even posted his position and those around should be reviewed ASAP

What I have refused to do unlike you and others is blame him for things outside his control. For Soft tissue injuries are whack he deserves. Whacks for blokes popping ACLs or last night's MRJ ankle cannot be blamed on him

Are you able to get your head around that? Understand that?

Maybe I'm reading this incorrectly, FJ from how I see it isn't blaming Meehan for the injuries, he's blaming Meehan for not aiding and helping the rehabilitation process. He's actually causing more damage than good. Players never truly recovering and coming back not 100% ready. Is that his fault, or the selection panel.
I guess we'll never know, but the trend isn't looking great for Meehan

Rushing players back in a desperate attempt to get meaningless wins that will only serve to weaken our draft hand....blokes getting injured running through the banner....injured blokes staying out on thee field or being sent back on.......#tigersofold #meehanmagic  :shh

anyway...another exhibit to the evidence list of Balta belonging down back (despite the odd howler - seriously when in doubt just use your leg Noah , boot it 60 metres and at least give us time to set up if you turn it over) :shh

Noah certainly gave Hugo a mighty spray in the last when he didn't run hard enough to mark Noah’s pass  :shh

Noah must be played forward at all times. Yes his intercept marking is amazing but he does take the wrong option often when transitioning into offence. I would be getting Blight in or at least try Kosi down back to get Noah forward where he can play the game without slicing through defense.

Balta is definately a defender. Yes he made the wrong call a few times last night, but his speed, strength, and marking ability is everything we need down back.
After a few more games he will settle back into defence and those poor kicks will diminish. He has a huge boot and can kick it well into the midfield if required. 
Baltas dash also from defense is a huge positive.
Id rather him make a few errors than have Pickett or short in defense gifting the ball to opposition.
