Why would me working for the club make that statement any different.
I'll try and write slowly for you.

Hood is my preferred option as he's an experienced hooker and I like how he's played this season up to the last game when they all played badly.

I think Kay is a good option. Whether he was a winger for a long time he started as a half back and has the skills. If he wants to keep going as hooker then for me the games he's played so far show he is good enough.

Bowes has also played well. I would shield him from lots of games as Willie is doing but he's developing and needs game time to do that. Whether reserves or 1st team.

That ok?

I don't think I've seen you say any of the players aren't good enough or criticise and yet they perform poorly on a regular basis. It's almost like what is reflected in your posts aren't accurate in terms of what is produced on the pitch. The working for the club comment is a tongue-in-cheek attempt at squaring that circle. I was also very grumpy after that result so may have overreacted a tad...

Tanginoa hasn’t won an NRL Grand Final, played international rugby for his country or played over 60 NRL games….

Is that an admission that there isn't much available, sums it all up for me.

Well, I'm thinking we haven't got much money, more than there isn't much available, although I suppose it is a bad time of the season to be looking to recruit, other than perhaps season-long loan players?

What?
We are getting rid of Fifita, Lino, Tanginoa and Pitts.

No just the rest of the dross that’s been dumped on us, and how Kelepi is performing at present he could be added to that list real soon for me .

I looked at Brad Fash last night for Hull ,barnstorming in both attack and defence plus does a bit of finger nibbling as a sideline , he made it look easy ,in fact there were more than him putting themselves about and what to me looked like great home grown talent on show . We have the young talent we just need to get that passion and pride rammed down their throats more than just the odd game .I really don’t know what the answer is to getting them up for the fight on a more regular basis ,have we too many hangers on who spoil the dynamics of the team ,I’m sure Willy will leave no stone unturned to get us back to something like a competitive team who look like their enjoying their rugby whilst putting some pride back into the club .
