It’s funny isn’t it, each year I feel the same. It’s just this year the team is competing better but on that note we have the equal 2nd most losses this season and don’t look like changing that anytime soon. It’s as if all the comp is evolving.

The NRL would become even more of a joke if they allow this to happen - this has escalated from WT allowing TDS to "talk " to other clubs to now clubs offering 3 year deals 18 months in advance.

What else do you think they were going to talk about? He can’t sign for next year unless we agree. Blame the club if this happens, not the NRL

Is Ava Seumanufagai coming out of retirement to rejoin us?

Can't think of any other big names without going for one of those hyphenated name players. 🤣

Just thought of Marky Mark Nawaqanitawase who would be an even bigger name but despite the fact that he should of been one of our Balmain side juniors, I don't think he's coming.

yeah injures/illness are inevitable but the club shoots itself in the foot time and time again by releasing players when he have 0 depth. bud sullivan, Galvin would be really good right now. imagine if this happened a week later and tds was already released. god knows what team we’d field. we have horrid luck but the clubs to blame as well

I hear you and I agree in part.

The red zone attack or lack there of is often noted not just by us but even the commentators.
But in most games it’s hardly a factor.
Scoring from a tackle or two inside the 20m agaisnt a disjointed defence is not red zone attack.
It would be when the team is given a full set to orchestrate a play within that zone.
What I’ve noticed is yes our red zone attack is clunky but I’ve also noticed it’s not where clubs are starting their tries from. In most cases line breaks leading to try scoring opportunities start from around the halfway mark. I’d be curious to know who has the most successful red zone attack in the comp. My guess is it’s the guess is it’s the Warriors or Panthers.
It needs improvement sure, but to be a real threat in the comp you need to convert your line break opportunities that start from midfield!

He won’t be in Reggie’s, he will take the wing spot of Jack Bostock while he is out with his ACL injury.

He is a much lesser player than Bostock IMO….. so he might play in March /April before Bostock is back ? Also thought he wanted to play FB ?

Lots of tries are scored from repeated sets inside the 20 … we seem to struggle with this IMO…

A lot of it is done through forwards breaking through tackles or offloading to themselves … again … a struggle for us seemingly

We don’t have enough speed in our team tj score long range tries, not enough quality or class to score when we in the red zone, it doesn’t leave much left.
I know I sound like a broken down record, but the imbalance within our team is a big problem aside from our obvious lack of class.
With all the money we are saving from letting players go and signing nobody, what is the point of it ?

Commentators also note it is hard to score from inside the 10 these days. Need more depth.
Do agree that most of the time our attack is still clunky in the 20.

They lack power and aggression in the forwards IMO… even May doesn’t help much in this area… they get dominated on both sides of the ruck

I commented on the 10. Should you have a differing opinion all goo but address the comment pls instead of moving the goal posts as you seem to like too. It's getting boring.
