Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

A lot to unpack there.
Everyone is to blame, even the mentaly fragile kids.
Our coaching staff screwed this season well and truly.
THEY need some serious soul searching over the pre season before they blow another.
Benji will last the season, and we'll be last or second last again. They will persist with him because he's 'good vibes' around training, but doesn't set the standards needed to be an NRL head coach. He is incapable.
 
Why on earth did we extend him and do it twice in the last couple of years when it wasn't necessary.

The biggest problem I've got with it and what really concerns me is that Richo was involved in the last contract extension at a time when we really needed to be freeing up top 30 spots for the 2025 season.

I know Richo has come out praising Doueihi in the past, so obviously he has some time for him but to me it just doesn't seem like good business.
 
You need your senior players onside but you can't make excuses for these chumps including Bateman. Bateman is a sook that can't handle being told he's shit.
He better learn a new trade then, bcoz he’s not getting any better at rugby league.
⚽️ ?
 
Based on @teddy23 the other day we will go hard. I would suggest $650K for 3 years. Guarantee Taylan a top 30 offer if cleared to play plus what Luai got offered & be another role model for south west Sydney youth. I think that is important to him based on his comments.
 
Very true BP. I'm stoked because our backline has been completely refreshed in only 12 months. The next 12 will be our forward pack and we will be well on our way I reckon.
We may not get the extra 12 months , if we don’t go close to making the 8 , we could be losing , Galvin and others who just don’t want to keep waiting , get 2-3 more forwards and give are good backline a chance, we have missed out on so many forwards that would have improved us , I don’t know is we even tried to sign certain players , but I know that other clubs jumped in
 
That’s is a reason the bloke is still playing for his country and there is a reason Sam burgess wanted him in his team and there is a reason manly want him he is a good player.

He defends well has a good offload in him like many tigers players before him he has struggled here watch him kill it if he goes to manly.
He seems uninterested most games, his biggest attribute when he was at the Raiders was his competitiveness, sadly that was severely lacking with us. He can play no doubt, but only when he wants to.

Out on a limb hear .
John Bateman a rep player
John Bateman is a solid effort player
he is also a player who gives 100%
those who say he didn’t , need to go back and look at each game he played in 24 , Benji also should look at those games , Bateman was one of our most consistent players , Benji need to pull his head in saying if correct Bateman would play reserve grade , he just played for his country , and did well , ffk sake , we get a good player and if he says what he feels we see the club ark up , we haven’t played semis and finals. For over 10 years maybe Bateman was right
 
I’d just wait before there’s any Bateman stuff happening UNLESS we get Terrell and Sione in 100%. Kinda curious to see him x luai or galvin with a competent backline and some culture/heart in the team
