If this deadwood clean out is happening this is what I would like to see left
Bula
Turuva
Olam
Galvin
Luai
Pole
Faniu
Stepho
Api
The rest are new cup at best , although twal and Faniu are better than nsw cup

So we need 2 wingers , 3 backrowers , and 2 front rowers .
So does anyone think this club can pull this off , we have missed out on so many hard working players that other clubs have picked up , Curran , capewell , Waddell , these type of players give 100% every week , there is more out there , the sharks and roooters have more forwards than they can use ,

That's pretty spot on BP, concerned about Stefano, I feel he's already gone, what do you think about chasing De Belin from saints, looks like all his drama's are behind him, feel good footy is ahead of him, also Scott Sorenson from Penrith, would like to see if Ivan wants ice now for sorenson

Agreed with your squad. Sam Fainu is a future captain. He’s a tear away. A guy who leads well and sets the intensity. Fantastic to watch. He is miles ahead of Bateman and Paps. My favourite player to watch this year.

Alaimalo - I think he’s worth holding onto. Good raw potential. If Lobb is on the other wing, I would just be going high balls all day.

Yes we could get away with Alaimalo and lobb or stains , but we really need to beef up the forward pack
 
I asked ChatGPT on how we could improve our coaching and player direction to get more wins.

This was the AI's response -

  1. Reinforce the Spine: Focus on strengthening the core positions of fullback, halves, and hooker. Ensure these key positions are filled by experienced and talented players who can guide the team around the park and make crucial decisions under pressure.
  2. Improve Forward Pack Dominance: Emphasize building a dominant forward pack. This involves recruiting or developing powerful, mobile forwards who can win the battle in the middle, providing a strong platform for the backs.
  3. Utilize Talented Youth: Identify and fast-track talented young players from the junior ranks who can inject enthusiasm and energy into the team. The club has a history of producing talented juniors, so leveraging this pipeline is crucial.
  4. Targeted Recruitment: Focus on recruiting experienced, high-impact players in key positions. This might mean targeting players coming off contract or those who might be undervalued at other clubs but can bring significant experience and leadership to the team.
  5. Enhanced Game Preparation: Invest in detailed opposition analysis and tailor game plans to exploit the weaknesses of upcoming opponents. This preparation can provide a competitive edge in each match.
  6. Injury Management: Improve injury prevention and management strategies to ensure the best players are available more consistently. This could involve investing in better medical and recovery facilities and staff.
  7. Leadership on and off the Field: Develop strong leadership both on and off the field. Empower senior players to take more responsibility during games and create a leadership group that can influence and mentor younger players.
  8. Fan Engagement and Support: Boost fan engagement to create a more supportive and intimidating home ground atmosphere. A passionate fan base can significantly lift the team’s performance, particularly in home games.
 
We aren’t that far off, we just need a few quality players to fill key positions. I’d lock in:


1. Bula
2. Alaimalo
3. Olam
4.
5. Turuva

6. Galvin
7. Luai

8. Utoikamanu
9. Koroisau
10. Twal
11. S. Fainu
12.
13. Pole

14. Da Silva
15. S. Fainu
16.
17.

I would like to see Latu Fainu have a go at centre. It has been mentioned before and I think he could really make a fist out of it. If that is the case, Turuva stays on the wing.

We need a gun backrower & impact bench players.

Also, a tonne of depth is required. Be good if we could flick Sullivan and keep Sezer as back up. Doubtful Staines gets a FG contract elsewhere so he wouldn’t be the worst backup.

Seems we have been doing same
thing for years now, trying and hoping our wishes come true.

I'm at the stage of giving it away now, almost 80 years old, only thing I feel watching them now,
Is the possibility of a ❤️ attack.

How do you have Alaimalo locked in?

On the weekend he dropped one bomb cold, Slipped attempting to catch another which they almost scored off and let Feldt in for 2 relatively simple tries.

AI, the new terminology for the old "Rocket Science"
That's a great reply from ChatGPT. Got it so correct. Well done!

It is a NO for me on TWAL

We need to get him to that miracle worker in the US that fixed Mitchell and a few others. Might as well right off this season for him and get him over there now.

Moussa at the Tigers is a quality operator. I'm sure they'll be able to sort out him out properly in time.

Soft tissue is tricky as kids grow, there's so many variables around joint angle specificity. Given time and as a prehab focus moving forward, I've got no doubt they'll fix his hamstrings.
