Wah wah wah...so the media has been forced to hold back on us because it upsets the supporters.
It's everything that's wrong with this club.

It's everything that's wrong with this club.
I don’t know how anyone can judge any grade this year . We had Massey and flegg players making up most of the KOE cup team , sg ball , flegg and KOE cup players playing most weeks in nrl , and sg ball and flegg squad members making up the flegg team .
Hopefully next year the teams are more levelled out X and everyone knows where they really sit within the hierarchy of the club , to form combinations .
Because this year more than any other year was all about individual development , completely at the expense of every single grade .
Being a lower grade coach , trying to advance your career would really suck at the moment .
As results would matter . Unless you manage to develop most of the team you coached into nrl players .
I don’t know how you prove success / your resume with what happened this past season .

Anasta’s default setting is to go after us. It’s usually starts with the loaded backhanded rhetorical question. Sometimes it’s the segway to the tigers topic with the half giggle and smirk.

Anasta & Benji are tight, he defended us heaps this
year on 360. They're part of that 'It club' us, and journos
get a peek into but never can fully comprehend.

I think he has narcissistic traits. Tigers “made him look bad” even though we gave him a lifeline. He’ll throw his hosts under a bus any chance he can get. Except Geordie who would probably throttle him.
A player who could potentially solve our right edge second row void if/when Bateman departs is Simi Sasagi.
I noticed he was making plenty of line breaks and scoring his fair share of tries for The Raiders NSW Cup team earlier in the season, then found his way into The Raiders NRL team and played well in their last couple of games.
He is now starring in the NSW Cup Grand Final today.
He is listed as being contracted to The Raiders until the end of 2025, meaning he can be signed from November 1 this year.
The Raiders are well stocked with good quality edge forwards, so I’d say it’s highly likely they allow him to head elsewhere for 2025 if he wants to go.
He has also played quite often as a centre when required, so is one of those versatile type of edge players that are very valuable.

Has anyone seen young Nsemba from Wigan. Big, powerful young forward, just turned 20. Shaun Wayne has included him in the England squad to take on Samoa in this year's 3 match series. I hope Richo had a look at him on his recent visit. I'm going to watch him closely during the international series. Hopefully he gets some game time.
He actually spent a few months with Wests Tigers about 24 months back, not sure why he didn’t stay any longer ?
He’s a big young beast, potentially one of the best edge forwards in the world within a couple of years. Only issue is he’s a little big suspect in defence at the moment, but like all young players, that will improve with age and maturity.

Couple guys on here, can't remember who really
rated Junior Nsemba. Had a hell of a season apparently
I wonder if we are a chance of getting him back, seeing he has already spent some time with the club? Hopefully he didn't leave on bad terms.

You're mistaking him for the young kid we had a
few years ago, from bradford bulls, semi fenya or
some such. He didn't last a season out here...

Nsemba wasn't ever in our system, and the kid from
Bradford was from their academy he played 2 games

Given Birds utility value we got him for a reasonable price 👍

Nothing to discuss. He needs 2 try resurrect his career
and win a little respect back. He's been paid nicely
Haha. Parker wanted none of that!!
Reminded me how Sirro looked when Les Davidson offered him the chance to " go on with it", after Sirro gave him a facial in a tackle.
Don't think Sirro was considered an intellectual but that was def a wise decision.

Out of interest would like to see their stats. I loved TT. Taken from far too soon. Damaging runner
