We don't have many decent backs.

I think we have to support Junior Tupou. He does have some real potential. I also think Tommy Talau will be an asset to us once his confidence returns from the ACL injury. Pauga to never see firsts again....

I wouldn't be down on any player until they have had the opportunity to be exposed to the pre-season under Sheens/Farah/Marshall/Furner.

So it looks as though only new signings might be Charlie Staines from Penrith and some English forwards maybe John Bateman (ex Raider) from Super League.
If Liam Martin is to leave Penrith in my opinion he is most likely to end up an Eel not a WT.

True, Liam is contracted until 24 tho.
You Believe - Or you hope?
He couldn't really have been considered an "Asset" Before any injury....
Just another big kid with natural talent that never really had to earn it.
Seen 1000 of them Swallowed by NRL before - He looks to be no different to me.
Fingers crossed the Tedesco, Manu, Suaalii situation continues to be a headline/drama

The ‘ridiculous’ Tedesco call facing Roosters as big Suaalii ‘dilemma’ can’t be ignored

How about some detailed facts on why they are so good?

Absolutely agree 100%.
Some people are just searching for a silver bullet to fix our on field woes and looking in wrong place.
CEO and the Board doing fine in achieving required finance stability and support facilities infrastructure for the football club.
It is up to the Football Club management to hit their KPI and provide the right players for the roster, coaching expertise and associated support staff achive on field success.
In most cases Chairman the CEO and the Board rely on advice and recommendations from the football department before signing off to implement football related changes.
Unfortunately that didn’t work out very well over the period of time Madge was in charge.
So hopefully that’s how things pan out sometimes.

I think the nrl are not involved with the board anymore since the Loan been paid back.
The main Pascoe beat up merchant - Is mostly personal....
Pascoe has made some errors in judgement - for sure,
But most of them were directly because he walked into a rabble
that was set to explode and had been trying to fix the situation on the hop....
The fallout, consequences and re-percussions from those decisions to fix pre-existing issues
at that time.
The Farah Taylor thing existed well before Pascoe hit the organisation
The Big 4 v The Coach thing existed well before Pascoe hit the organisation
The Cleary thing was a little out of his control
The main thing I have issue with was giving Cleary full autonomy over the roster and deals made to players.... Stitching our cap for the last 4 years.
That said, I also understand that every coach has most autonomy over the roster - It's not uncommon... Especially for a struggling club getting a somewhat rated coach.
In our situation, It was heightened by the fact that every one of those signings was a dud....
We got zero value for money out of any of them - Ever.
Most issues anyone would have with Pascoe can be attributed to the fallout from the above....
He's not entirely blameless, And I'm very impartial... But if it's not personal, And you look at everything.... You can get how and why some of the issues have come up.
To be fair to everyone, We were a mess prior to Sheens - And immediately after he left.
I think everyone underestimated how much he held everything together during his time....
I was as glad to see him move on as anyone as a coach, But that was based on squad and game day decisions only... Who knows how much of a conduit he was in the back rooms?

The love of mediocrity is now a myth. It's a love of total failure now.

Though initial reports drew plenty of scepticism at the time, in-demand Storm five-eighth Cameron Munster has confirmed that future Wests Tigers coach Benji Marshall sent him a text message to gauge his interest in a possible move to the Concord club.

It'd be great to have another thread for the board and Pascoe. I'd love these comments to be out of the every other thread.

Good move Benji. It costs nothing to ask. Faint heart never won fair maiden which, coincidentally, is the title of my self-help book on dating.
Both Penrith is my bet

The call centre is working overtime, only time for text messages. Struth I got one , I deleted it by mistake, thought it was about solar panels. Hope we can land 2 or 3 Turbos. Hope we texted them? You don’t ask, you don’t know?
