As long as the game keeps generating $$$ they won’t care. It will only get worse next year with an extra team and the talent pool spread even further thin.

It certainly is not a good product hey. Bring in the draft. 🤔

I’d even take Matt Dufty over Laurie.

They did and they got taken to court. The precedence has been set.
Seriously. I wouldn't play Dufty in an under 12's side.
Players have to much power. It's whats best for the games and the supporters.
If you have to move for work to earn alot of money then so be it.

I think Hastings is good enough but my argument is a little like the pro Brooks argument. He needs a decent team around him.

It has to be a culture thing. You don’t see it in AFL. The draft works just fine and has done for as long as I can remember. Players don’t walk out mid season either. The NRL has fostered a toxic culture.

This is way way too pessimistic. Momorovski has played in a couple of top 8 teams and he is ordinary.
You don't get a squad full of superstars.

Joe has been our best most of the year.
Our prop rotation is terrible, Twal is getting some good form but the others are ineffective.

I thought Musgrove was pretty strong yesterday. At least he has a bit of size about him. We need bigger everywhere.

I think his 1st stint he was but 2nd half all our forwards got spanked.
Lids coming off was a turning point as well I thought.

Yep Brooks to 9 is just dumb.

Let's not judge a book by it's cover without knowing the full story.
We have a forward pack who are mostly bludgers.
How do you think a player like DCE would look like with this sort of a forward pack?
And the one or two forwards who are genuinely trying their hardest are overcome by fatigue only due to the laziness of those bludgers.
We must get rid of those bludgers or put them in KOE team and get some big young forwards who'd love to play for a big contract and the club and no more of those who have used us as a retirement village.
Keep that up and you’ll be banned from any further suggestions 🤮🤮🤮

I know how the forum loves a good highlight reel. For all of Dufty‘s faults, you could easily make on for him. Could one really be made for Laurie?

Our marker defence in and aroung the ruck is shite, Hastings was caught out several times.
We continue to slide in d, we should be going forward not just laterally. We are on our heels far too many times.
When the attack goes past our defender the defender drops off instead of covering.
If you look at Penrith, how often do you see 3 or 4 panther defenders bundle a winger into touch..the support is always there.
Their wingers rarely get isolated because of the support on the inside.
I learnt this in juniors so why are NRL players not doing this?
Is it effort, dumb play or carefactor 0?

But Laurie did that great tackle on Gutho.
If he can get one highlight like that every 2 seasons he should have a highlight reel in approx 30 seasons.
Sign him up long term.
