Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

I'm totally unconvinced acout Ciraldo. All you can say is he's a proven assistant coach. He's had a couple of chances to step up to head coach and refused. That's his right of course but it makes me wonder. It could be he doesn't have the confidence to take a job with a bottom 8 side or he believes he's above such a lowly position. Either way, that's a bit of a worry for me.

Precisely,he looks great with the club with the best and deepest roster in the world and he then comes to the one with arguably the worst in Australia.

No arguments from me.
Apart from those that have been incessantly baying for Macguire's blood since before he was born, after last weekend's debacle, I can understand why some people may feel that way now.
What we need to do is take a step back and breathe - although the results aren't coming, there have been definite signs of improvement this year and before the last weekend the general concensus was that.
Like many, I was just so disappointed after thinking we could win or at least give it a good crack but that doesn't mean we need to just chuck it all away now. At least, we should give Maguire until t he end of the year to see what happens. A change now is just throwing the cards up in the air yet again and that has not worked out for us in the past.

Every coach in the game gets the performance from their team that we got on the weekend.
ALL OF THEM.

Bennett got it last year Twice, Storm have had a couple shockers this year...
WITH BETTER SQUADS THAN OURS.

In every industry, Change for the sake of change rarely works...
Like when we "Had to sack" Sheens...
Change for better proven performers often does - But we're not getting that here are we?

There's one bloke doing the work to get the answers - And everyone wants him speared to take a chance on another bloke who may have no answers, Or not do the work....

It's crazy!!

No way is he Russell Packer 2.0, the bloke is still young and his best years are ahead of him. He is a meter eater and a mongrel who would put the shits up some of our softies if they stepped out of line. I don't care about photos outside of hospitals, I want a dirt bag who will bash the opposition and make over 100 metres most weeks.

Yeah I want a bloke that bashes the opposite too.
Just not one that is prepare to kill, rape, & pillage in their spare time.
I don’t know about you but the last time I went on hols I did not chase women down the street threatening to kill them or bash my way into someone’s castle to terrorise a blokes wife and kid, and then try to get off like nothing to see here man. Should have been banned for life from the nrl, but they have no nuts Terry.
And do you really think that lodge is the saviour of our team, one average prop forward? That’ll fix it?

He didn't kill anyone or rape anyone! He had a big night lost the plot and made a huge error, not the end of the world. Give the bloke a chance, he is not an average prop that is what we currently have. He is a great metre eater and would add instant starch, our forwards are soft as dog shit.

Never said to get in cap trouble again... you said that.
And as for Someone will crop up when no one can afford them but us, we have been saying this for years and years but nobody comes ???, our young players are along way off ...if they make it at all, whats wrong with aiming higher then where we are at the moment ... bottom half or lets wait for another 4-6 years and cross our fingers and toes.

I was referring to your statement "if we pay overs so be it"
Paying overs is what put us in this predicament that's taken years to fix.
If you pay a player
$100-200k more than what he is worth you are short changing yourself that much to get another quality player and so on.
I doubt you, me or anyone on this forum knows the intimate workings of our club's salary cap and TPA's.
All we know is our roster is shite. I feel your frustrations believe me.
I believe that stating anything but commonsense is frivolous.
Not paying overs and outlaying what we can afford is commonsense. Anything else is suicide. IMO.

He lost the plot alright. He said to those women “tonight is your time to die” those words show he is either Nostradamus or his is going to kill them??? And home invasions, I have done em. And I can tell you that people littorally piss themselves that’s how frightening it is.
And i am not proud of that fact. It saddens me that I was that kind of person. It takes acceptance of who you are and what you have done to change. He has done nothing but try to get out of taking responsibility. Anyway I think we may have different moral standards and I will just agree to disagree.
You can be a descent person and still bash em once you on the field.

If you truely are repentant of your crimes so be it. I just hope those whom you've affected have moved on peacefully.

I'm with you. I don't trust fans at all atm. Fans were stating pay Stef anything he wants and he was a critical signing. Now when he isn't performing it's a different story.

Fans were calling Finucane such a good buy. He is a dud.

Yeah it wasn’t innocent people.
It was DDers who owed $ to other DDers and I did enough to know it was not for me. But I’ve paid, I’ve repented, and I mean it. And no I do not want my club to sign me either.
But we have gotten off topic.
Still no to lodge for me, Tigers can do better. Hopefully.
