Yes and we still got rolled frequently with them on board.
Our pack is a huge concern leading into 25 and should be the absolute focus of all recruitment.

Yeah, to be honest I don’t think Isaiah was worth the money, we should have let him back out of the contract and signed someone who actually wanted to be here. I feel like both of them are a bit overhyped.

Been our best forward this year.
I’d have let a few of the others go before him.

If he’s our best forward at least we’re staying consistent, we have a habit of letting our best forwards go year after year.

That was a hell of a run
He didn't want a full-time gig he only he help out with coaching the halves and stay living in QLD.

Who are the 3 undersized wingers we signed, Skelton is huge, and any team would take To’o in a heartbeat

We need to replace them with better layers. Plus some good back up forwards for insurance.
Then maybe we get away from contesting the SpoonBall Cup.
I have mentioned before today,
Kevvy can’t do anything wrong in the broncos old boys eyes.
There Management might be put under pressure now to make the call, they had no issues sacking their last coach.

Yeah 100%.
With a full pack, we weren’t enough. 3 of them have left. Getting 3 that are better than them is a tough ask. Even if that is accomplished, we still aren’t in possession of a great pack.
Not until the Fainus, Pole and Seyfarth become consistent players anyway.

We’ve got Sunia Turuva coming from the panthers

Our backline still looks to lack size and speed.
No doubt Turuva is a good player, but he’s neither big or fast.
Skelton is a big unit, but definitely not fast.
We really only have Charlie Staines and Jahream Bula who can be considered as fast, the issue is Staines struggles to break tackles and Bula needs to bring his best on a more consistent basis.

Royce Hunt tonight had some strong runs and fast play the balls - commentators mentioned that. Some effective defence covering on the inside and once strongly on the blind side. One blemish was he stayed in the line which resulted in a disallowed try. Minutes and engine are clearly an issue though, but with the right balance in the lack there is no reason we couldn't use him for impact.

I like what I see from Pole and the fainus. Seyfarth is starting to grow on me as well, as long as he keeps the aggression under control.

I think we're no chance of signing To'o but that is crazy underappreciation of an absolutely incredible winger who every team in the league would want on their team as their first choice winger. He does so much for Penrith, is so integral to how good they are and how consistently they perform. He's not just a player riding the good look of such a good team, he was a shining light for them before they became consistently good. I can't believe there's any doubt in anyone's mind that To'o isn't a crazily good winger. I'm taking him before any other winger in the league.
Plenty to like about what they’re doing - even Seyfarth or late…
But we’ve lost the best part of 500 games from our pack - which didn’t have a leader before that… and couldn’t win.
There’s a chasm between what we have, what we’re getting and what we need
