Baddabing Baddaboom!

Funny, if Melbourne sign stef I won't be that upset. If the dogs, Roosters or Parra sign him I'd be pissed.

Feel the same. Going to Melb usually means you are going there to work hard and get the best out of yourself and learn how to win. Also I hate Dogs and Parra so there's that.

NAS' NRL days are over I'm afraid. Forwards as big as him don't last in the NRL these days. If Bellamy can't get him to his best for 2-3 years, no way we can.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

He did well last few games...

The decision situation we are in right now is on the club more than Stefano.

We agreed to the dumbest clauses in the game and we also agreed to let him look mid season. If it draws out it means we didn’t manage the situation with a timeline either.

It’s been 2-3 weeks. I don’t blame Stefano for taking some time to make the biggest decision of his career. We hear alot of words about the direction we are heading but results this year haven’t changed on the last 2 years and next years roster will be weaker in the forwards as things stand today.

I blame the club for enabling the position to happen years earlier than it should’ve and at this time of the season also.

It’s on former employees (clowns) of the club. Richo got ahead of this by talking to Stef early in the year. His manager has managed this whole season poorly and now his form has been impacted pretty badly.

Everyone is baulking at Utokamanu except for those that can afford to pay overs

His manager actually gains little from this given if he leaves he will more than likely earn less = less commission. This isn’t on his manager.

So why are they part of the game?

I disagree totally but I think Stef will go from strength to strength at a big club. Guess it depends on your forecasts.

His manager has used the media constantly to drum up interest and personally I think this has been bad for his 2024 form.

I concurr. Stef will kill it under strong leadership.

I think it’s more about playing talent than leadership but again that’s just a different perspective.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Exactly. We have talent just no leadership. Is that what you mean?

No.

Talk to me brother.... what is the perspective that can get us out of this nightmare we find ourselves in...

We need a classy outside back
We need to replace Paps with a first grader
We probably need to replace Stef
That’s the starting team.

We then need to improve our depth which includes clearing some of the dead wood and signing some better low paid foot soldiers.

It may take a couple of years, with only incremental improvement. If that improvement doesn’t eventuate, then you can question our new leadership.

Just my view.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Paps is a first grader...

 

[BAGNF05]

Paps is a first grader...

$750,000.00 we need for other needs.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Like Utoikamanu for 1 million???

 

[BAGNF05]

Like Utoikamanu for 1 million???

Nah I think the offer is fair and haven’t ruled out him taking it.

 

[Buttface]

Funny how bellyache heaped praise on us and predicted we'd be a force in years to come,yet won't think twice about cleaning out our talent only to offload us with another one of his busted hacks....

Everyone is against us.
He has no benefit in us getting any better and is only giving lip service.
