I think there is a lot to buy into TBH with Guys like Hastings & AD it will turn around.
I know we have only won 3 games but let be honest if we didn't have a shit load of injuries/ suspensions we would have won 2-4 more games and we are sitting in the 8.
Players like Nofo & Brooks have been in a losing culture all there top grade life and a change would be good for both parties.. We have fresh blood here now that want to win and have no problems doing everything required to make it happen unlike some.
Everything you’ve stated is conjecture.
Hastings and AD may not complement each other. Even if they do, that’s a tradesman like halves combo. It’s not a dynamic, threatening, points scoring combo that a lot of other squads have.
The fresh blood is less talented than those they’ve replaced. Hopefully the pathways system produces better. Colour me unimpressed with the current crop.
Api and Papa are positives but they’ll be playing within the worst pack either has ever seen next year. Our prop rotation will be the worst in the comp, as will the depth.
And…we may have a new coach to suffer through as he learns the systems of this shambles of a club.
 
Hope so.. We have enough wingers to cover him but unlikely to happen unfortunately.
He seems to be a guy that Loves playing offence but not defence or following team rules..
I made a statement earlier that the Magpies game was one where Noffa should have stood out and set an example to the younger guys especially being a highly paid NRL player...
Let me go back to my days playing,I played wing and centre mainly,my job on the wing was to run hard and try and finish off backline movements and score points,I also had to make sure I marked my man and didnt get tries scored against me,so how come Noffa gets applauded for scoring tries but lets double the amount in on $500k a year and I got my arse kicked if I let a try in and cost us a game?..
I was on $50 a win,nothing for a draw or loss...I won a team managers award and got a best and fairest medal in the 6 years I was at the club....the game is a far cry from the true roots of rugby league as I knew it....cheers guys....
 
Why Parramatta? Why do we get fixated on certain players going to specific clubs?

Noffa - Parra
Liddle - Bulldogs
Garner - Manly
I heard it somewhere of late him and Liddle off to Parramatta just wanted to know if anyone else heard more on it
 
Hastings and AD would be the slowest halves pairing the game has ever seen.
Most likely right but they are there to set up the tries and not really score them..
Everyone thought Hastings was to slow but I would take him as our 7 over a quick 7 with no game organising skills any day.
I think they may put AD in the centre and move him to 13 in a year or 2.
Hastings is and should be the 7
6 will either be Brooks, Madden or Laurie depends on re-signings etc..
 
No discussions to that effect have taken place…..unless he pulls his finger out, it wouldn't surprise if he was shopped around before season 23 starts….there is a growing list in the club questioning his current contract amount and length
Mug lair for sure
