Benji needs sit Klemmer down and say "you have to put on at least 5kg this off season, and I'm playing you 15 minutes either side of half time. In that 30 minutes you just run and tackle as hard as you can".

Townsend is apparently going to the Roosters for250k.
Where does the salary cap bullshit end?
He's on 750 now but he's willing to play the last year or 2 for rookie money.
That would be due to the current oversupply of halves I guess.
Just scrap the cap. It's a farce.

Wraith alluding to him being a stop gap option until Galvin is available
Ur 100% right , but look at this way , Gus is signing players every bloody week it seems and I have not seen one player leave the club , so if the dogs can do it why is it so hard for us

Galvin isn't available until 27 but you're right that's what the smarmy bastard was hinting at with that shit eating grin of his.
You're not big on FACTS are you???
And all the players that left were also once a prized recruit by Gus or a local junior with big wraps...

Nothing to see here!!! Uncle Nick gets away with murder and yet the NRL just turn away
You might wanna re-visit your claim on the losses list?
There's more than a few there that don't fall into either of your categories....
Gee it’s hard to have a post put up , without people wanting to drag u down , I was been more of funny , but Gus just buys and buys and then moves players on , u don’t have to take everything so literally, if u can’t see posts for what they are then what’s the point of us putting anything up

One the pitch together once, in the bin or on suspension together the rest of the time...

We did get Luai over the line on his watch, and that was with competition for his signature. We got Teruva without it being in the press and under the noses of otrher interested clubs. He got Galvin back on the straight and narrow when everyone else was agitating. And under the old regime we would have locked Stef away for $1.1M per year on a 6 year contract because of the fallout in the media if he left. Richo is holding his nerve on this one. He doesn't want to pay overs for a front rower, and particularly one who goes missing any time he is up against an alpha pack of forwards. He has gone on the record as saying he won't pay $1M for a front rower.

What we need is mass turnover as quickly as possible. It's not really about plugging in another name player from another club.
Klemmer, toa, Naden, Bateman, Sullivan to start but really no one is precious.
Need to bring in a whole bunch of try hards. I think it's incredible looking at the dogs forward pack of nobodies producing such consistently good football. Line speed and tackling is really good. That mainly seems down to their buy in but also the type of player they recruit.
Our recruitment always seems focused on name players who have fallen out of favour. And what a surprise when they turn out to be plodders.
We need those players at other clubs who are on the fringes of first grade and are very eager but who can't consistently crack the team because of established quality players. Need to have better scouting to do this well.
Biggest issue we need to break is complacency in the squad. Players feel safe and unmotivated.
I like Bateman, but there's no point to his salary, someone like Rueben porter does his job just as well and probably more consistently.
We've got big money wrapped up in Stef, Klemmer, Bateman, twal, Papalii and they've done nothing for us. Stef and Klemmer play like they don't want to be here.

I have confidence in our recruitment team and firmly believe that our roster will start to show improvement come next offseason.
Non an easy job but doable.
What does concern me is the continuing lack of quality of our lower grades coaching. For me that’s been a constant negative particularly at our second-reserve grade level.
Our roster second 15 must gain motivation and experience by being exposed to a winning environment and not the train wreck scoreboard, that we see from them week in week out.
