3 wooden spoons...we had no reputation...
Richo and Benji have done great to snare him and several others and enable us to climb off the bottom ..and hopefully get some momentum and keep climbing
Throwing darts and hope one sticks!
Rather have a proven middle...a better 9 sub than Hope..and contingent on Bulas decision..a 2026 ready full back..plus a nrl ready 13
Any of these will add immediate impact which we need to get off the bottom rungs of the ladder
This bloke,Geyer ,Madden...
Dunno why you wld bother...no upside
Career journeyman..we need better
Coming off 3 spoons and a 13th,we need quality
Not backups to the backup
rather bring thru young kids who may improve ..
By default,we haven't got too bad a hand ourselves..
If he improves us in 26 he's likely to stick around and see how far the ride goes
And if we don't improve next year..his likely departure will not be a disaster.....fresh start all around
.drop goals are part of the game..but I dont disagree with you,Although well organised defences like ..nrl..have mitigating defense tactics against this what is a complete anachronism
Closer to home,what I dont get is Wallabies inability to create any opportunities whatsoever ..or more...
With the recent woes of the Wallabies,who will be regarded ne of the worst ever after the current UK tour,their wont be many in demand from R360.You cld count them on one hand
That will put more pressure NRL particularly if they have a Rugby background
Makasini at 18 hasnt done anything just...
Got nothing to do with it
A totally commercial decision derived from opportunism and convenience..and unlikelihood of pushback
A bit like our second round one bye in 3 years..!!
,
Its a make or break year for Benji but realistically "make"means we keep moving up the ladder...
We probably arent going to quite reach the 8 because we simply havent added a lot of talent(KPP..?) plus the same old coaching buddies who cant make a difference are still there clinging on
,but...
