The whiners on this forum want Nathan Cleary signed on $200,000 season and as soon as he signs they will start bagging his defence , saying he is injury prone , is unproven in their eyes and has a suspect kicking game and then a few will start saying that they see him as a centre or a second rower .. I’ve read some really odd stuff on this thread over the last month or so and it’s starting to worry me ☹️🥺🧐The 3 you mention were proven duds on double what Sullivan is reported to be earning. With WT supporters crucifying every young player signing, any wonder why we have trouble attracting players to the club. So with the halves out there, who do you suggest we should have signed and for how much?
I think WT have done relatively well to secure two rising stars and a seasoned game manager for around the $1.2m mark. Might be less if St George is paying some of Sullivan's freight over the next year or two.
Need to now concentrate solely on positions 3-5.
Mate, please give it a rest ,, sleep or whatever because your negative and condescending comments are unfair and insulting towards people that have not even played for us yet. At least give them a go before you start posting insulting slanderous smears based on your opinion and zero evidence .. it’s not fair and it’s seriously close to just trolling.. 🤝Let’s all call this what it really is
Tartak gave us the Fainus
We owe tartak
We take sullivan for two more years and pay him full freight even though dragons didn’t want him
That’s the truth
It’s the anti brooks stuff , combined with releasing Hastings meshed into one horrible take /opinion .Just find it odd you single out Hastings.
Latu is a teriffic defender .. Andrew John’s like defender for a halfback , or even Kimmorly like ,, that front on low hit hard under the ribs halfback.. Sullivan goes ok as well .. Sezer knows his business also .. I really really like these signings , they are young and full of potential and drive to succeed , they could develop a real combination and I think that could be what Benji also is banking onI think we should all temper our expectations. These guys are not established first graders. I'm more excited for next year than this one though because this year is clearly a write off and one of the worst years we've had.
Still I like Fainu and Sullivan. I think they will score some points. The issue will be can they defend.
It gives us some threats though. Our main threat for years has been Brooks and he isn't good enough to shoulder that load. Now we have two threats who are this point are clearly not as good as Brooks but maybe they can develop into better players over time.
Yep agree with everything . My post before this one answers the constant Hastings talk , I reckon .I agree with your point on Hastings. I don't get the obsession with him. He has left and to me it's a non-issue. Someone questioned me about why we are talking about him the other day and I stopped. I don't know why the topic keeps coming up. I keep waiting to watch him play a good game and it keeps not happening. Gamble looked to me like much more of a threat than Hastings yesterday. We should be talking about letting him go. Why did we let Gamble go ? He is killing it. Anyone interested ?
I am though interested in your comments about players coming through. Fainu is the most highly rated junior player to come through in years. Bula, Pole, Kit Laulilii, Stef, Matamua, Faagutu, TDS and others all have big wraps and a couple of them are doing well in first grade. Stef was picked for origin this year.
These are the guys that are going to bring us forward. I think we'll see a lot of changes in our squad over the next 5 years or so. The question is can we develop a team that wins some games.
No mate, but the half plays a big role in how the team plays togetherIs it a 1 man team?
I fail to see the logic,, How does it prove that ? To me it enforces the fact that the halves are a massive problem not minimise it .If we don’t score more than 2 tries today it will again prove we have more attacking deficiencies than just the halves, so let’s wait and see.
Like Nofa is and Kepoa and now Toa ?? But at least when Olam does it he actually takes the player out of the play .👍🏼😉He fires out of the line and more often or not it comes off. However he doesn’t leave himself many alternative options. In Melbourne it works. In our side he will be well exposed.
Pretty much ponga.Is it a 1 man team?
And the people with an entire brain know he is doing a very good job as the 7Anyone with half a brain knows the one player who’s carrying that team. It ain’t the 7
I would like to know who the seasoned game manager is 🤔I think WT have done relatively well to secure two rising stars and a seasoned game manager for around the $1.2m mark. Might be less if St George is paying some of Sullivan's freight over the next year or two.

Probably because it took has two to three years to address the cap issues that Cleary created through signing players on long inflated contracts that did not produce results.Same, a lot of the supporters on this forum seem overly fixated on Figures .. I do not get it at all., they also whinge that we cannot sign anyone then whinge and whine about the salary .. absolutely confuses the F out of me .. seems to be a lot of would be accountants that must just be jealous about what NRL players earn.. why worry when we have no control over it, it has no quantifiable effect on our enjoyment of the teams performance and as such it is not our problem .
Precisely! Combine this with the way that they stand flat footed when the playmakers do go to the line, and also seem to all be standing back till the 6th tackle as if they are preparing for a big team move/play n the 5th that is not even called and you see why we are easily contained . It is so frustrating and average , they are not backing up or supporting each other, it is so lazyAlmost everytime Ponga touched the ball he made a break through the Dolphins line, & on most occasions there were players backing him up.
When anyone in our team make a break ( not often )
They look for someone to offload the ball to,
And mostly no one there to pass it to.
Yet to see him deal with anyone other than Tartak.Yep, that's why we need to give the keys to fulton. Without his relationship with players and player management our recruitment would be much worse.
