Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Yes.... It's "discussion"

If for example two mates are talking about player x but not in his dedicated thread and I wanna add my input.... It's like me going into an empty room and saying my piece... If I follow the 'rules' and say my piece in his thread were the discussion isn't happening

It doesn't work nor does constantly merging and moving threads.

Discussion. Is spasmodic and random - not structured

Agree. I respond to posts with out any thought of what thread they are in.

I agree with this. You can't keep on topic all the time. It's not the way people communicate.

I'm not having a go at the mods because as stated it's a volunteer job and I can see downsides with it.

There are also a bunch of new mods and it needs some time to settle.

The simple fact is, that many think with the Api and Papi and Klem buys, we will climb from the spoon, to mabe challenge the top 8 But beside the forwards being bad last year , our halves were clunky, and i'm being kind. We have the same halves, or maybe another fabricated half in Laurie, and all three were not setting the world on fire. No, i don,t think Smith would set the world on fire, but in the event that Laurie does not fit the role, and the others get injured, who is the backup ?

Does the back-up matter ? We have two guys in the halves who are completely unproven and they are costing us a fortune. They've been in the league for a while and they are not rookies.

Laurie or Smith aren't going to be far off the pace our starters have been playing at.

I don't think Brooks is that bad but at the same time he isn't that good.

Doueihi has moments of brilliance but his average game was well below Brooks last season.

Its worked OK for nearly 20 odd years....now it needs fixing

Too much structure and telling people what to post where...seems like a bit of overkill, authority going to some heads

My god we have to wait now until ''the official'' game discussion thread is created by staff an hour before kick off....what if someone wants to start the discussion at lunchtime and we kick off at 4?

Treated like kids

The ‘official’ game discussion thread should come out the moment the original team list is posted on Tuesday afternoon.
 
1. Daine Laurie
2. David Nofoaluma
3. Brent Naden/Tommy Talau
4. Josh Feledy
5. Junior Tupou
6. Luke Brooks
7. Mitchell Moses
8. Stefano Otikamano
9. Api Koroisau
10. David Klemmer
11. Isaiah Papalili
12. Shawn Blore
13. John Bateman

14. Joe Offa
15. Fonua Pole
16. Alex Twal
17. Christian Matamua


If all goes well and we get Moses this could be our team in 2024 I believe..... pretty impressive - backline a little unpredictable but from the players we have currently that’s how I’d line up

Zorba saying likely Mitch leaving parra and hearing tiger return. Another caller didn't hear who said its done. Also mentioned Crichton to dogs on fullback money.

Zorba…I don’t know how much I would trust his word. Think he knows what’s going on at manly, outside of that not sure!

Just that my logic is different to others. Smith is 30 something, but he appears to be an orginisor , which Doueihi and Laurie are not. We are in bandaid mode in the halves, with all 3 not having contracts after 2023. That as sure as shit tells you that the coaches are marching time, until we buy one or two halves. Smith is on a train and trial,at the moment !
I'm not convinced they bought a 30yr old, just to lead the cup side around. After pre-season, and trials, then i think they will know which way to go!
 
There is a huge restructure and reshaping of our NRL team happening, (and it will effect lower grades as well), with new coaching style and plans, massive player turnover with many new faces, even new premises - all this needs a bit of time to settle in, and the changes aren’t finished yet, the squad rebuilding will continue in 2024.
Don’t be surprised if we take a while to look like a cohesive unit with consistent performances. It will be half a season before everything starts to mesh together. I will be happy to see a change in effort and attitude from our 17 each week - the rest will follow in time.

I can't wait.
I want the change for the better now! hahaha
