If you think we’re fixable in 8 months you don’t really understand the gravity of the problem.

We can’t keep saying it will take time, any goal must have a time frame to focus the required attention. If it’s 2 years then let them announce that ie we expect to be competitive for the start of the 2026 season. Specific and timed, and ridiculous ! Has to be next year !

I'm a bit concerned about the "boys club" look too. We definitely need a top class defence coach, none of these hangers on, Benji or the CEO have to start looking at these issues.
WE NEED A TOP CLASS DEFENCE COACH.

I thought we had a good defensive coach doing a fine job in David Furner but we sacked him mid contract. This is why I lose confidence in the club being capable of ever playing finals footy again. We just aren’t building on our small successes.
 
Richo is a no nonsense, fairly supercilious kind of guy who doesn’t like to admit defeat or admit when he is possibly wrong. Because of this, and his long history and experience in the game, I believe he is probably one of the few people who can make the changes that are required for us to succeed. He admitted that we are 2 years away and that it will take time for the process and he is asking us fans to hang tough and support the effort.
One thing he didn’t discuss was coaching changes and support for Benji - I believe this is a critical part of the solution. Keen to see what happens in this area.

Look we all know it won’t happen over night, what is frustrating ME and I think must supporters is that lack of information, quick to tell us all whose going , but no reason behind it , and no even a hint of new signings , AND does he still think that the kids will fill the gaps, because the results in NSW cup , say other wise .
Just more info for us frustrated supporters that’s all we want

I’ll wait and see who we sign, our roster being a concern. With each passing year Benji & Richo have, that’s more time for them to fix the horrible mess inherited. If we’re not going forward, that’s when I’ll start to ask some questions.

I’d expect 8-10 wins next year if you want a number on it.

1. Bula
2. Alimalo
3.
4.Douehei ( maybe )
5.Turuva
6. Galvin/ Fainu
7. Luai
8.
9. Api
10.Klemmer
11.
12. Fainu
13. Johannsson.

14. Galvin/Fainu
15.Pole
16. Seyfarth
17. Porter/ Fainu/Twal/

Not a bad start. Two good centres, a couple of decent Pommie forwards and maybe a winger similar to Toupou or Talau and we're right in it.

Let's say we got lucky and landed NAS, Jeral Skelton, Jake Wardle, Jai Whitbread, that's a top eight team for not much money.

So how long do u want to give them 3 years 5 years , so let’s look at the facts , things that we can see .
Richo traded blore for a one legged olam
Richo told papa ur free to go , but no replacement
Richo let Bateman walk even though we had a small chance of avoiding the spoon
Richo , has yes stopped leaks , but for us poor idiots who support this ship wreck , not even a statement about his trip to England , did he sign someone, is there signings waiting to be announced, DONT WANT names , just something to cling to .
So how the hell are we going to think that nothing has changed , REMEMBER no fans no club

Facts eh.

Blore averaged about 7 games per year over four years.

Papali’i is playing this afternoon and next season starts in March.

Bateman was fed up and playing poorly.

He’s not Pascoe, he knows what he’s doing.

I’ve already laid out what I think adequate progress looks like, and called before a ball was kicked this year would be bad.

Simple maths will tell you that we had to make room to fit in Luai on $1.2 million and Turuva on 500K plus. We couldn’t legally play if we had that much space in the cap.

We were in a shit starting place.

Now Stef and Paps and maybe Bateman are gone, the big test of Richo & Benj is who they sign. Broadcasting our intentions would be clownish, like the last crew. 🤡

how many are we losing ?

were you once the Iraq War propaganda guy ?

They lost their best player and their playmaker just bit someone, and their solution is an over the hill hooker.

I’m not crying because the Dragons won a few more games than us this year.

I get the impatience, but prefer to be rational.

He has publicly backed Benji but if next year doesn’t go well, I think Benji himself will make the big call.

well… it appears you want to give them (Tigers ) a lot more time to improve than most …

it’s not about impatience ..lot of us nobodies here can see that the next season is going to be critical for this team to get out of this decade plus long funk…

What will you say if they have another shit year next year and Galvin leaves ?

Blore hasn’t missed a game since going south , papa yes is going because we wanted him out , Bateman left for whatever reason , but the bloke didn’t miss many tackles . And it’s not about them 3 it’s , just lack of info

Depends how Latu Fainu progresses. If they don’t win 8 games minimum next year I think Benji will come under pressure, or walk away.
