Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

This is where this coach has to agree with players we sign crap is hurting us. RFM from dogs would have been a solid signing under any coach he is simply a good player and would add to our other couple purchases , another 2 weeks and only the crap will be left

I may have misunderstood but aren't Mahoney and Kikau waiting for their contracts to be registered by the NRL pending salary cap approval?

I just texted a bulldog mate, a reasonable dog, and he stated that exact fact coz it is fact. BUT we have to believe the kids coming through will step up. Do it right and it will be right. Payten left Warriors coz they were on the buy. Went to Cowboys to stop the need for Taumalolo. Got shit put on hlm for it then pushed through the kids and then Taumalolo jumps on board and hooray.
Pathways is the right move. We got two good players coming we have a small core of good players. We had a great NOE team last year but to keep them would mean that we couldn't front our kids up against the men in NOE. I wish all the best for the guys who fought hard last year b4 thier dream got pulled from them and are no longer apart of our system. I wish i could name the disposed players. If anyone could can you make a list of that very succesful team. They deserve regconition. By the way on the white wines tonight. DOC SAYS STOP!!!!

Some people may not know this, but I’m kind of a skeptic when it comes to this club. I have been reading people getting excited for juniors coming through on this forum for a decade, and more often than not, the juniors fail to deliver. Most of the juniors everybody was getting exited over 3 years ago are now considered deadwood. Way too much stock is put into our juniors before they even debut. It’s forgotten that they are coming up against 16 other clubs also producing juniors. Therefore it’s difficult to stand out.

The club needs to let brooks go.
Far too much media attention every week for any athlete. It’s not fair on the club or brooks himself.
Also after performing the way he has, no other team in any sport would keep him on the field.
A change had to happen along time ago.

Totally agree, I also think that his lack of confidence has rubbed off badly on the rest of the team and it shows badly.

Interesting,
I watched Craig Bellamy quote in his press conference that he was disappointed in some individual performances from his his team.
😂

Not one tigers coach has ever said that of their players.

And look at us….11 years

No idea about football, I agree football is actually soccer. Not Rugby League.

We need some grit champ.

Bellamy's players are professional athletes and unlike our mob if criticised wouldn't be sulking and looking for a way to get the coach sacked.

You are skeptic, no way.
Pathways or development is crucial to the success of this club.
It's been identified that clubs like penrith's players were developed in recent times.
The difference between us and them is there is a flaw in our system.
We are either not developing our kids fully or we are not managing them properly. The later is more likely.
This no doubt has happened for a long time otherwise we would have tasted success more often.
I like the way Simpkin is getting a chance to develop. Just because he's not always in NRL doesn't mean his development stops.
IMO, KOE needs to be of a higher standard and run like the NRL coach runs his side. That way there isnt any disparity when moving up and down in grades.
KOE should be the pinnacle in development which atm is far from that.
So now we have better tools. A new COE and hopefully our pathway structures have been tinckered with.
In any event, we must put more emphasis on developing these kids to play top footy and remain in our system.
Home grown first graders is what we want topped up with some marquee players.
We'll never have cap issues by doing this.
We are in a difficult period right now trying to get a new coach but we must be wiser with our cap and not start the mess all over again.

Didn't Madge say that last year and the players got upset with him. I recall their disappointment when the language changed from us and our to him and them...

Good post but I disagree with this. If they have the talent and desire they will make it. I watched the Turd play last night. Terrible human being but he can play.

Points either way mate.
The thing is Earl, times have changed. When you and I played on average the top players were older. Even if you go right back there were balding men playing 🤣
Most sought after players now seem to be of Polynesian heritage or indigenous Aussies and their bodies mature earlier than white boys.
They can reach their peak physically at 20yrs of age.
What is needed is to develop the boys and girls mentally as well. This has to be done earlier in flegg and onwards etc.
To say if they're good enough they will make it regardless of development is not right imo.
Some of the good kids don't make it because of poor development or are mis managed.
