I prefer this approach then saying that they are waiting to announce the signings after the new players team has been knocked out of the finals …

How about just looking back at the dates we’ve picked up meaningful players in the recent past.

Api Koroisau - December
Jarome Luai - January
Papali’i - November
Ryan Matterson - September
Harry Grant - March
David Klemmer - November
Bateman - December

Whatever the reasons, expecting mass signings in July/ August doesn’t make sense however you want me to frame it.

Do you want to sign players for 2025 or 2026 ?

They need players for next season…. not to have to wait over a full year like LuaI Api and Ice …otherwise they are going to struggle again and Galvs is gone

If we were trying to sign halves or elite talent I’d agree with you. Fact is that’s not what we need anymore. I think reliable forwards who have point to prove might just fall into our lap for season 25.

You do realise there’s no logic to your arguments right ? It’s the very definition of jumping at shadows/ straw man. You’ve a created a problem that doesn’t exist and made yourself angry about it.
Judge the 2025 squad round in march 2025 . Before then is absolutely futile …

Or I’m just responding to someone who responded to me

The problem does exist now … the squad is too weak and little has been done about it..

Strawman and jumping at shadows are two different things BTW

I hope you are right buddy … I know Richo himself used the “falling into his lap “ phrase … hope lightning strikes twice

Are you serious ? Of course they’re 2 things . You’re doing both … you’re upset because there’s no change to something that can’t be changed right now … you do see the issue right ?

But it can be changed …by signing players now

I dont know why you are getting upset because you think I’m getting upset

Huh ? How is me pointing out the obvious issue with your whole point =equal upset ? You’re making no sense . There’s no players on the market . The best props are a guy who can only play 30 mins a game and is 29 , and another guy who has behavioural issues and has spent the whole season in Reggie’s . It’s slim picking this time of year … now and forever .
It’s like getting upset that it’s cold in winter … and ranting about it … Its a conversation for December/ November /January . Not August .

“Im not but you are “…ok buddy ,,,

There are always players being signed who arent “on the market”… Most recent Example is Val Holmes just got signed last week who was contracted next year … now not saying we should have signed him … just using him as an example

I swear some of the guys on here have zero ability to self reflect / evaluate . The rational of the shit you’re saying , right down to the comment you made at the start of that last post is mind boggling to me .
If you think there’s players out there who teams have made available , and want the world to know about it , that will lift us/ make a difference … then nothing anyone says to you will change your opinion . As crazy as it is ….
This place reads like a football version of a conspiracy thread . Full of schizophrenic people just yelling to themselves .
Just for reference mate . That includes your last few posts …. Seriously …

Im thinking you might need to have a lay down mate …

I’m stopping now . My previous post was 💯 in reference to this type of conversation style . No matter what I say , you will just twist and take out of context , to justify a position , often completely derailing the conversation to a point that the original point is lost .
I’m telling you you’re wrong . And to be patient . If you don’t want to listen because you’re incapable of seeing the forest from the trees that’s on you .
Ridiculous …

??? No need to be a a condescending dickhead … I’m sure going to back to wrist cutting over phantom player signings is way more entertaining …
Imagine being a man child because someone told you to chill out !
Cue echo chamber rant …
