McNamara to drop under-performers? : Fri Jun 05, 2009 4:45 pm  

Clicky As much as I'd like to see the under performers dropped to hammer the message home that they don't have an automatic place in the team, actions speak louder than words. I just don't see it happening, I hope I'm wrong.

Gonna drop himself then? Sorry couldn't resist doing a ME impression

P.S. So much for me being newsman, bring back BSC, all is forgiven

I won't believe it unless Deacon is completely dropped against Wakefield, not even on the bench. If Mac means it Deacon and Langers will be the drop-outs from 19.

If he doesn't make the team in the first place then there's no point in having him on the bench either. But like you I can't see him being dropped

Didn't he say that at the start of the season, sorry but he hasn't done it yet I'd even go so far to say that when people have been performing when others have been injured, they lose that place immediately when the other person is fit again.

I guess you could argue that platt has moved positions but that's not exactly dropping him, sometimes I think he's singled out unfairly and there's more who deserve an enforced rest.

I'd love to see actions as well as words, which have yet again been regurgitated....actions speak louder than words

I like Macca, but he is making himself sound stupid by repeating this mantra, or saying he would drop players if there were ones to replace them. Apart from Platt/Halley scapegoats he is yet to show any gonads whatsoever.

Yeah, so he'd drop players if he had players to replace them with. However, when asked at the start of the year "are you happy with the squad depth" his answer was a resounding yes. Can't have it both ways

He could have said something like, I'm not completely happy but I think we can work with what we've got and we'll definitely be looking if a player with the qualities we are looking for becomes available.

I think we`d all worked that out when Greg Bird was signed. I`m pretty sure the players would also have got the message.
