I've been saying it for a while now, Burgess needs dropping - and more than Gelling. He offers nothing, I can see why the Roosters didnt give him a gig. Never wants to take his man on the outside, falls off tackles, not making the metres. I'd drop him for Manfredi and let that be it for the season. Gelling is in a bad run of form, but is moving our (arguably) best second rower to centre really the answer?

Put Bateman to centre drop Gelling move Isa to second row drop Burgess and bring in Marshall.

Why are we acting like 3 changes are going to fix everything? Our entire front row is awful and our game plan is to be boring and completely disregard our attacking threats. Leeds showed us how to play to your strengths, yet we seem insistent on 5 drives from our weak pack then a crap kick from deep by half backs who can't kick.

Agreed. I would say we have a glaring hole at scrum half and our prop forwards are a huge question mark for next season:

1. Tomkins
2. Manfredi
3. Gelling (thin ice)
4. Gildart
5. Davies
6. Williams
7.
8. Flower
9. McIlorum
10. Tautai
11. Bateman
12. Farrell
13. O'Loughlin (one last year?)

14. Leuluai (Get rid or use as cover for 6/7/9)
15. Sutton (is he really good enough?)
16. Clubb (one last year?)
17. Isa

Escare to FB, Tomkins to the halves, an 80 min hooker and surely to god there's a big metre making prop out there somewhere who won't get homesick after a fortnight.
A centre who can draw his man and pass would be nice as well.

Playing fit players in their correct positions.
Agree 80 min number 9.
Player(s) to develop their end of set skills and decisions.
Quality prop.
Quality half back.
An attacking coach with quality reputation and ability.

As said above agree with this, but will NEVER happen with Wane in charge.
