    Jersey Talk

    I bought a World Sevens Jersey, advertised as 2004, but says 2003 on the badge? It's a ripper of a jersey so not unhappy but did the club just roll them over between 2003/2004?

    Disagree, Casey McLean is a gun.

    So another 5 year re-build? Then bring the kids through, debut them in first grade and watch them sign for the Roosters? I'd prefer we continue with this re-build and maybe get some sort of success out of it (such as finals) within the next two seasons which may help us attract and retain...

    At this point in time yes; next year??? Who knows what another off season will produce from the younger players, who knows what will 'fall from the trees' and who knows what motivation a 30+ forward on the decline has. I say let's stick with the process and get away from signing older players...

    Yep me either, we already have enough average players who try hard and give their best most weeks. The players mentioned aren't really upgrades on anything we already have, they are solid players for sure but nothing special.

    Yeah but at what price? He finally seems to be trusting his body again but also looks like a bloke playing for his contract. I'd love him to stay as in my opinion with a fully fit squad he is the perfect 14, I doubt that is what he wants however. 500k max.

    Great thoughts. I don't think enough credit is given for coaches turning pretty average players into solid, reliable first graders. An example is Sam McIntyre, Payton and the Cows have done an outstanding job on his game.

    Gees I hope you're wrong. I bought a membership in the first time for over 35 years following a Tigers club on the back of Richo. I really just want honesty from him, and if there has been mistakes then admit to them and let us know what the organisation is going to do better. Loses I can take...

    I know it's just an interview with a CEO but Monday's 360 appearance by Richo has got huge connotations for the club. Are we still a club with no plan or does he provide much needed clarity about what the heck has happened in the last month, including actually and achievable strategies going...

    Looks like 7 clubs making moves, not sure how that equates to basically every club, and are they really significant moves?

    I think to this point Richo has done a great job and the club seems headed in the right direction. On field we could be higher but the organisation as a whole has seemed to forgotten how to win, which hurts everyone I'm sure, and hopefully this can be addressed ASAP! The thing I am a bit...

    This is exactly the reply I was going to give to Supercoach's post. At the end of their careers we will be talking about Katoa in the same breath as Johns, Cleary, Langer, Thurston etc. Galvin, who is going to go on to be a really good player, and most likely will make rep teams, but will more...

    Mmm I'm not so sure they'll be able to beat the Titans, then after the bye they have Sharks, Warriors and Dogs, there could be big noise around Madge by the end of June. I think that squad needs a 'piss in ya pocket' type of coach to give them the confidence to play their best, Holbrook would...

    Fair point however the club he has gone to has gone backwards at a bigger rate, while I think we are trending in the right direction, sort of..
