Is Taumalolo no good these days? Haven't seen the cowboys play much and surprised he's #17. The guy was incredible and is only 30. Payten never seemed that interested in him. What's his form like? I'm sure Cowboys would be happy to offload his contract if they're playing him off the bench but clubs probably can't get near his salary.

He’s lost a lot of his spark from the early days of his career. Nowhere near his best now and probably why no clubs have been keeping tabs on him, taking him now is a very big gamble and I think unless they get lucky, Cowboys are stuck with him.
 
Have been impressed with Samuela Fainu at backrow. Personally (assuming we keep Stefano…) I’d be prioritising a right edge back rower so Bateman can move to the bench and I’d likely keep Papa at 13. Below is what I’d be hoping for next year….think it makes us competitive. Question mark on whether Pole & Papali’i can start together as they’re similar size/profile but I think it should be okay.

Stef
Api
Pole
Fainu
???
Papali’i

Utility (likely Latu Fainu or DaSilva)
Klemmer
Bateman
Twal


The backs is another story though….

Should we look at offering Luke Garner another contract? After 2 years in the Penrith system he would be better equiped to be that dependable back rower that can play 80mins on an edge with a bit of strike.

So we can watch him have a little giggle to himself anytime he gives away one of his stupid penalties on tackle 5 like he used to do last time he was here? No [This word has been automatically removed]ing thank you.

Our squad has been around and experienced a fair bit collectively. There are enough members in this squad who have lots of big game experience and/or have come out of the best clubs of the modern era.
There are too many players in this squad who know what they are doing for this team to lose as much as it does. Can it be improved? absolutely. However winning only 10 games from our last 60 starts is bullshit.

How many of those players come from a background of winning culture? How many of them are playing for the jersey?

Well the Roosters aint going to win a premiership in the next 3 years either. Underperforming club with the roster they have. They start favourites every year, particularly with the journos, because they are all scared of Nick Politis and suckered in by Robinson's sermonic monologues. Does anyone else think he is a complete bore who loves the sound of his own voice?. I would rather listen to AFL coaches talk about disposals or whatever it is they call it than listen to TR.

Also heard they are trying to get another year from Teddy and they will pay more then the Panther's for big Dave
