Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Needs to be in a team with many rep level players to succeed.

I get it.

At least that puts him on a level playing field with the rest of the halves in the comp….
Playing in this shithole with the nufties we’ve had here won’t do that?
 
Best player lol
Got outplayed by the likes of AD and Hastings multiple times.

Another failure by the club.
Yep I remember Hastings was at least a part of 4 wins/17 losses. Vs 2wins vs 19 losses.

Look, players have good days and bad days. I am sure I can find video of whatever playing whatever.
The point is we were not winning. Even if Hastings wasn't our saviour (and he wasn't), at least you could scrounge a way out of 16th with him.

Man, I am kinda feeling I will sit 2024 out. I am not seeing a team , I can cheer.
 
Casey is all heart. Not the most talented outside back we have but I'll take heart over talent any day. Defends really well.

Yep Casey would be my choice to replace Toa.

I’d have Klemmer off the bench with Fainu to start.

Sezer to start. Sullivan as a sub (if needed) or we bring in Latu Fainu.

Drop Seyfsrth with Pole starting at 13. Bring in - who knows? Matamua? Porter?
 
Clubs over the years recruitment …. you call it what you will.…. incompetent, amateurish, inept, fractured, blundering or just inexperienced, unlucky, indecisive, or just plain old jinxed.

One thing stands out for me is that quality of our back up roster which is missing year after year.…. and again this year. Call me wrong if you will but my observation after watching over half century of rugby league, is that clubs with successful reserve grade have better chance of first grade sucess than not.

,,,,,,, and after I read our Magpie NSW Cup team list for this week I could only conclude that the Club just does not care. They may care about our young pathways potential talent and about 2/3 of top 30 roster but that then leaves a substantial gap and instills lack of confidence stemming from results such as ones we witnessed in Canberra.

I am normally optimistic and hate to making a predictions too early on likely Clubs season end standings. So I hope I’m wrong but I can only again see the “ground hog day”.

I’d go Twal to start at lock to sure up the middle D early. Matamua on bench to sub Twal so we can utilise his link & ball playing in the middle 3rd of the game.

Pole & Sam Fainu to sub Uto & Klem.

Sezer in for Sullivan. Olam in for To’a with Faataape moved to right centre.

Simpkin onto bench.

That’s enough changes in one week.
