True but method to the madness, needed 2RF's did it, needed some more grunt added some, probably could use one more but still some time.

That’s a glass half full way thinking. 👍🏻
80min props don’t just fall into ya lap, oh wait on.
We got kissed by an angel last off season, thanks Robbo, maybe Robbo should give more players somethings to work on. Players like Whyte, Collins, Leniiu, and for Lock I want Blake Steep. I know his old man Steepy, through construction on the Mid Nth Coast, and if he’s anything like his old man which I know he is, he’ll work harder than anyone else to make it. Problem is if he’s given homework, he’ll get it done with a minimum of fuss.
Still plenty of time for something to shake loose.
Robbo is one ugly angel.
 
The crazy thing about our fans is we think we are going to sign gun after gun. We need to strengthen the NSW cup and picking up former first graders that have injury issues or were fringe first graders is good practice as long as it doesn't block a junior's pathway. We do not want to be losing horribly in NSW Cup every week, playing only juniors. They need role models etc.

I don't know a lot about herbert but if he brings energy, work ethic and a willingness to sacrifice for another potential shot im for it. Bunty is the same probs doesn't play 1s alot but is a handy fringe player that can provide a bit for us and strengthen NSW cup.

I have seen people posting that we have signed a mystery forward. Would anyone care to elaborate for me?

Will be good to have in & around the squad for his experience & depth. I thought we may go for Corey Allan but Patrick Herbert it is.

Less $$$ I wonder who the mystery forward is that the club is chasing

Richo is turning the roster into something the Roosters do a top 15-17 players making the money and fringe players very little no 400K players in reserve grade anymore and we had two of them

💯 Your players can't develop in a poor reserves side.

Now would be the perfect time for Robbo to get the shits with Spencer Leniu, mate if I lend you a big stick will you go and poke bee sting head with it, speed up the process.

Leading player agent Clinton Schifcofske, who manages Ryan Papenhuyzen and Zac Lomax, has officially walked away from negotiations with rebel rugby competition R360, distancing himself from speculation that he was steering NRL stars toward the breakaway code.

this cracks me up. made his commission and is now wiping his hands clean of it to try and weasel out of a ten-year ban.

The Katoa situation is brutal. A couple of points that serve as reminders

- For anyone complaining how soft the game has become, it’s for reasons like this. Once upon a time, no one would have bettered an eye at him actually playing. Protocols are in place now to prevent it. I’m not sure who dropped the ball here in not following them but someone should answer for it. I don’t like how soft the game has become either, but it’s a necessary evil for the game to exist in this day and age.

- I’ve said over and over that I don’t understand when players are so bla’ze during contract negotiations, saying things like “Im in no hurry” when things like this can happen at any moment. Your value can go from seven figures to zero in the blink of an eye. We’ve seen it with Dwyer, Tuiaki, Alex McKinnon, yet players turn a blind eye. Could you imagine if Katoa was in the middle of a contract tug-o-war where he’s being offered close to a million dollars? Suddenly he’s waking up the next day on skid row. I don’t get it.
