Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[poopy_diaper]

speaking to an old source today
mind you nothing i have posted recently has come from anyone reliable

- tayln was promised he would start in 26 by richo, if you back and watch his interviews he goes from saying tds is our future 9 to basically saying he has the "potential to be"
- one part of the manifesto that galvin presented was that he was promised justin holbrook would be headcoach when he agreed to an extension

again all rumours 😂

Honestly tracks in my opinion.

It's incredibly obvious we need to sign 4 first graders to our top 30 before June 30 or we win the spoon.

The people that run the club don’t care. They just want to participate and lower costs as much as possible. They’ll just upgrade a few reserve grade players to fill the quota.

 

[Harvey]

I'd really hope Bula gets a bit of coaching on how to unlock his outside men. He's doing OK but often is passing a little early. Like to see him straighten more before passing.

So is he leaving too? Not getting any coaching at this club.

 

[Tito Santana]

You know I blame Galvin partly responsible for this.

We had such a great start to the season and then the Galvin thing came about and the team just never recovered.

If he wants to improve as a footballer, and have personal & team success, then he may have to. Or he can cruise & pick up a generous pay day with no real expectations or standards to meet.

Don’t start… Richo will be at fault

If it wasn't that it'd have been something else. The club has just done it again. Can't take a trick. No idea.

We never had a “great” start. We played mostly low level teams and all the same shit you saw tonight was going on then as well. It is just more amplified lately.

I think that’s a cop out personally. If the playing group are as united as we are lead to believe, wouldn’t someone going against them, unite them even further?

I disagree somewhat. Yes we played weaker teams but we also had our best starting sides.
TDS, Bird, Hunt provided a massive spark off the bench. These guys just aren’t starters. Inevitable injuries have hit and our lack of depth has exposed them.

Edit. Throw in mason as a starting spine player 🙄

 

[weststigerman]

Tell me we haven’t re-signed To’a ?
His lack of effort is not acceptable.

Maybe it’s not the player and it’s the system he’s in.

I’ve seen many many players at this club lack the effort required but become top players when they leave.

I don’t think I have ever come across a player who is lauded more when we win, and despised more when we lose.

Bar the first Parra game, our attack has been awful most of the year until something triggers an avalanche. Defence poor as well.
It was good to win a few of them but it certainly provided false hope.
Melbourne exposed us as frauds.

I don’t see the to’a issues personally. Only our real threat on our edges lol

He is, but his yardage carries tonight were garbage and his defence not much better.
Our 2-5 is easily the slowest in the NRL and even adding Taylan May, that doesn’t change.
Then add our back rowers being the slowest in the NRL and it paints a picture as to why we offer little to no attacking threat from distance and opposing teams are able to compress their defence and make it hard for us to get out of our danger zone.

agree with all of that, but that’s the point - he’s our only real threat that can create something out of nothing outside of our halves, beats his man more often than not . his defence needs big improvement

Assuming Taylan May rediscovers his best, he would automatically become our best outside back.
We would still need to add one outside back with plenty of speed, I’m predicting someone like Deine Mariner will become available and he would be the type of player who runs the ball strongly and also has plenty of speed, so I think he would certainly help us.
Say something like that happens, it would mean we have To’a, Turuva and Skelton fighting for 2 positions, who would miss out ?

 

[bbobb]

Teams know that they just need to attack down Turuva’s wing and he will eventually make a mistake. It was worrying to see that none of the tries were scored through kicks - they just stripped us for numbers.

That’s a coaching thing to me. Also I think Sukkar should play on that side as he does help in defence

That's written on a plaque next the the recovery pool in at the Zurich Center.

I said in the off season that Turuva was known to make poor defensive reads at Penrith & got absolutely rinsed on here lmao
