Whack him then?
Tensions running high on the forum today!
Let's chill. We (hopefully) will get Latu and a couple of other credentialed halves. Plenty of cash. The signings will come.
I don't disagree with any thing you have said above tbh.I like how you immediately jumped to Hastings attck mode. I didnt say we should have kept him. Obviously you have a bias that you needed to express. I said I disagreed with your points but that was all.
My point to you was that due to our failure in recruitment and retention, we have lost 4 NRL halves and only managed to replace them with Brandon Wakeham so far. It is a fundamental failure to assume people want to come here and we let those two players from last year leave because we arrogantly predicted we could lure a big name talent here. That didnt occur and a knee jerk signing just a couple of weeks before the season started smacked of desperation. Additionally, we do have other backups, but it seems clear no one has managed to get anything out of them and so we are stuck using our knee jerk backup signing fulltime because of injury. Again this points to incompetant planning.
Of course our footy has been better this year in some regard. We have a top 6 pack who are not missing many games between them all. You seem to like pointing out we only won 4 games last year. We have only managed 3 this year and we still have our 5/8th out for about another year at best, our best player is busted and our halfback just signed elsewhere. Our spine is very inexperienced and we have no real strike out wide. You might say we are victims of circumstance but Im pointing the blame squarely at those responsible.
Lee and his board, Pascoe and Sheens. They created this cluster of a situation through decisions made from the end of 2021 onwards.
Where is Eliot Ness when you need him.Seen a photo of Chairman Lee and Sirro Snr , i could not work,out what Lee was trying to look like , then it hit me , he is trying to look like a 1940/50 s. Big Time Gangster , Pin stipe Suite , Long overcoat , Hat , I need to find it and post it ,
Sorry mate, you beat me to it, I posted almost the exact same response.Along with Lee and Pascoe
But one thing is for certain, you've definitely got a bigger head if that counts for anything.
If it comes down to a transfer fee to Manly, surely we have s***load more $$$ to offer than the Titans.
I think this girl on Twitter is trying to stir the pot.
Do u believe in the ester bunny 🐰 and Santa Claus 🎅, because if u do then u got a chance , us signing anyone really far fetched 🥴Tensions running high on the forum today!

how's that international pack of forwards going at scoring points? Half a team won't get you anywhere in elite sport.
TigerCast saying it's the Dragons not Titans
Tigercast Is shooting blanks. He's like 0/7 lol
I do admit, I was cranky that we let Jackson go because we had these forwards incoming with promise of more - who turned out to be Klemmer and Bateman to arrive for this season. I think he could have done more with this pack than Brooks, Doueihi and Wakeham have managed...but that is conjecture.I don't disagree with any thing you have said above tbh.
But what you have to remember is going for that big name talent was above and beyond what any of us really expected, given Tim initially put a 3 year timeline on the rebuild. If we landed one of those targets you could probably say we would have had more success given the improvement of our forward pack.
There is no bias here, towards Jacko or Brooksy - just my assessment.
The club is run so poorly, I agree, incompetence in the pathways system plays a big part in that, and that's the mess Sheens has signed up to. Thankfully we have already identified and secured some great young talent in that regard. A bit of circumstance and a bit of bad planning - we have made good decisions in other areas and I agree its bleatingly obvious the halves is not one of those areas.
I still don't think Jacko would have done much for us, but it would have been nice to have someone to steer the ship - in hindsight.
