Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Really sad thing is after 25 years as a new club, we've gone right back to being the Balmain and Western Suburbs teams of the late 90s. Absolutely hopeless.

Now we know why Lobb never played First Grade at Saints.

If you watched Lobb in our reggies this year you would have worked that out quickly.

 

[Terry T.Nuts]

Lobb is a joke, the next Chook Herron.

 

[Robbie's Love Child]

Doueihi needs to apply himself in defence. How can a player of his natural ability be unable to tackle after so many years in the NRL? Questions needs to be asked about what work he does on his game. Does the club have a high-performance coach to identify these issues? Doueihi I say to you that the club and your teammates need you leading from the front in defence. Victories are built on defence.

Douehi is a myth, point blank. Could never defend and is okay against bum opposition, should never have signed him for one more year.

People were clamouring for Lobb… simply because we see these chumps each week and think the guy that didn’t play cant possibly be as bad ,,, then they get given a go and we see why they weren’t playing earlier …

People will be clamouring for Toa to come back and do nothing again very soon

The only people clamouring for Lobb had obviously never seen him play,his form in the reggies for us was not good and the same at the dragons

I think it was a good signing on minimum wage. You just would not expect him to be playing too much first grade. Cover only.

but he is not on minimum wage … he negotiated more money after initially being offered the minimum …

 

[TV Ted Ellery]

If I'm Douhi I'm unable to look myself in the mirror this morning, absolutely pathetic that an 18 year old in his first season needs to cover your rear end.

Doueihi will drop himself to KOE next week if he lives by his own words.

"The more I get close to the boys in these next few weeks and the more I can take charge of the team, I can sort of be that dominant figure and help pull some of these younger blokes in line and show them what the standards are at this club."

"If they're not living up to the standards that I feel and the other leaders feel are the benchmark, then they can go and sit back in reserve grade as far as I'm concerned."

Really sad thing is after 25 years as a new club, we've gone right back to being the Balmain and Western Suburbs teams of the late 90s. Absolutely hopeless.

As an old Balmain fan, 96-98 were competitive. 1999 had some blowouts but we still won something like 8/10 at home.

These last three years have been worse than any other in my time. And even with Luai coming next season, I can't see things getting better.

Unfortunately, Olam is just as likely to be medically retired.

or it’s just wishful thinking… I would be surprised at this stage if that happens …

It’s actually astounding how many first grade quality players we have (or don’t have).

We don’t need world beaters, we need some hard nosed consistent first graders.

The biggest issue is having top 30 spots filled with either kids that are nowhere near ready and complete unknowns or players who are contributing nothing but we can’t move on.

Were in a bad spot.

Surprises me that Richo hasn’t done more about turning over the roster…he has been here long enough now …nothing in months since Turuva … there are too many young kids in the Top 30… they are years away from being consistent competent NRL first graders

Good sides need to make one or two top ups a year.We need to make 15. That’s why it’s near impossible to climb off the floor. Also any good players we have will walk when the time is right due lack of success. It is a catch 22 situation

I wouldn’t say it’s impossible… look at the Dogs …

Not as extreme , but the Warriors overhauled their roster pretty well 18 months ago

Anyone prefer Stefano at $800k than Royce Hunt at $500k after last night? Anyone?
