After watching that abomination James Roberts has announced his retirement. Hopefully more follow voluntarily (or otherwise) among the playing group, administration and board.

Now he can spend his days playing the pokies, hope he succeeds at that because his footy career actually finished quite a few years ago.

There’ll be a large turnover, I’d suspect.
I have to ask the question....why would it have meant anything? People have been calling for weeks for Sheens to front up, show his face, takeover etc. His contract to coach is for next year. Do you see Gus doing press conferences instead of Potter? They share the same role this year.
I understand, Sheens pulled the trigger on Madge, but for him to take more of a role this year publicly would have basically ruined next year before it begins. If Sheens was in charge of everything that has happened on the field up to this point it would be a disaster as far as next year goes. People ( including players) are so stupid these days you need to build a house of cards that is attractive, no matter the substance inside. For Sheens to be publicly associated with failure now, would almost guarantee nobody looks twice at us for next year. As it stands now, we have a "clean slate" and a "new beginning" in 2023 no matter how much bullshit that may be.
Much worse. I sat through that crappy season. Usually they had a go, they were just terrible. This lot are terrible and lazy.
Brooks is an average first grader capable of good moments. Madden is not at that standard. Sadly I find myself yearning for the days of Brooks/Hastings

My point was not to rehash this season but to start the ball rolling for next.

This is the annoying thing. Some of the crowd today were probably getting their LO fix while they can but even so, the club has a massive fan base. If we could ever get a remotely competitive team our attendance numbers would be massive.
Penrith could win with me playing halfback but wow, he’s had countless opportunities this season and largely fluffed them.

It has been years since he was Jimmy The Jet.

Was there a crowd today tho? There was 10000 and half of those were raiders supporters… the team didn’t even deserve that so your right.
When to a local pub after the game. Three families there with about eight kids between them all with jerseys on mums/ dads,kids rusted on. The club needs to do better.
I think we saw his best & he's not first grade standard.
He pulled off a few classy moves that may have been flukes, the ugly 40/20 & the chip and chase try.
Penrith cup team is quite handy so I'm sure he'll enjoy some success with them (more so than the magpies) maybe even taking a KOE cup trophy 🏆 with a taste of first grade here and there when needed....
Garner also, he isn't the right player for us and it seems we didn't try to keep him but he's onto better things (like Matt Eisenhuth) so good on him... but yeah, not the type of player we need to find success.
