Do you think there is any chance of Burgess/Sheridan/Burns getting a look in at a starting berth heading towards the end of the season?

Drop Roy, Willow and Sarpreet and there is. I would rather Roy, Willow and Sarpreet played to their best and retained their spots I think.
Oi Oi Edgecumbe... lets have a clean sheet

I wonder if the Rudan's blow up at the club is a smokescreen for his own failings over the last few weeks. He hasn't been able to motivate the team or get them to play anywhere near what they have been. I would have rather seen him acknowledge that it wasn't a great idea to have a game in sydney, then spend that energy working on his game plans. rather than see him let rip in a presser like that.
Yeah, exactly my thoughts. All good, Mark, you have my support and you've done an ok job so far. But, you haven't achieved anything yet.
I'm entirely with Rudan on this. How the heck is a coach supposed to make any improvements when his squad is spending more time travelling than on the training pitch?
What sense did it ever make to traipse a football side unneccesarily around Australasia, giving top opposition sides the advantage of not having to travel - when we should be forcing that travel and lost training days on them, not us, and keeping our own players in their home beds and not away from the training pitch while travelling ourselves? And we do that to them week after week after week.
It's simply crazy stuff imho. If football results are your priority you wouldn't even dream of doing this.
I can't see that you save anything financially by wearing out and disadvantaging your own team, and putting them in unfamiliar circumstances, so that they underperform and you loose momentum and fan support. And you impact their recovery and mental freshness.
Just fudging nuts, and 100% with Rudan saying so. This club has their priorities backwards. Maybe unless they want to be a bank instead.
I'm not faulting thinking behind his comments as I believe moving the game to Sydney was a huge risk and it clearly didn't pay off. I am faulting his hissy fit in the presser. I don't see the need to throw the club under the bus as it doesn't do anyone any good...unless he has ulterior motive.
The situation we find ourselves in does make me think about whether or not Domey is the right guy to lead the club. He has taken a risk and here and it has backfired. This isn't the first time a big risk has failed on his watch (Darije anyone?). When/if we get a new licence in the new league, maybe its time for a new CE as well.
I have an amazing ability to find my way out of mazes. I'm pathological.
