Not to mention Robbie sulking on the scoreboard

Is this from inside info or are you just hoping

I wrote on Saturday morning galvin would ask for a release.

Call it a hunch.

If there’s nothing in the media about it by end of week let’s assume my info is wrong

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Or true

 

[Wildcat777]

Ok 9 losses in a row….that sux…..but what really pisses me off? We had 50 put on against us and statically I can confirm that we will not win the GF in 2024. No team has ever done so. On the bright now have to just be patient and wait for 2025 for a chance!

This is a huge issue atm, even though we have a squad that only has about 4 players in it that would make another first grade team we have to pay our squad virtually the same amount as Penrith are paying theirs.

That’s how the salary cap works, the weak clubs are paying elite player salaries to average players. So at the end of the day the Weststigers salary cap probably buys in quality about 40% less than the good teams…and it shows in results.

So your only hope is the pathways road, but than you get them jumping ship when it gets to hard

The reality is that for whatever reason, plenty of players think very highly of themselves.

That’s why we need the best recruiters, to break the cycle.

There’s no good reason why the Dolphins have recruited better than we have other than we don’t have the recruitment talent to bring the JLs through on fair money.

it’s cutting our nose off despite our face and a false economy to ignore the value of the Mark Hughes of this world.

Who is an old friend of Richos and delivered south’s their 18th premiership or whatever.

Spot on, makes it so hard for teams anchored to the bottom to lift themselves up.

As every passes

What has changed?

 

[Mighty Mouse]

Why aren’t we going after De Belin. He puts in week in week out and isn’t a plodder.

I am ready to start Monday as a recruiter , only want a modest wage , I think I could solve our problem in 6 months or so , by the way , I couldn’t do any worse than those before me 😳😜

Because we are dum shits

 

[BalmainJnr]

The clean out is underway we have to cop losses on the chin. Season is done only positives will be younger players getting experience and players being released. Hard headed replacements are needed.

This has been the story for over a decade though.

How do you know we are not already in talks with
DeBellin , Williston , Hunt , And so on , nothing from the club could be a good thing for a change

That’s fair

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Problem solved then?

 

[tigerbenji]

Not gonna hit the kid yet. TBH everything sounds like it’s the parents - same reason why he left & then came back, parents controlling things.

Richo making a direct comment of sitting down with him and his parents indicates it’s his parents driving this.

Spot on, sounds like the Parents telling him what to do.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Didn't yours?

Not at all surprising when we persisted with a clown CEO for 9 years which we are still paying the bill for.

 

[hsvjones]

If the club has something in the works then I cannot think of a better time to get it done and announce it..

Any good news is needed ASAP as we are getting our behinds kick in the media.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Maybe you. Im all good here.
