BS. It's acknowledgement he is not an idiot. No need to look into crystal ball. Plenty of time to see how he develops for a more accurate assessment of his worth. Instead of guessing and speculation what his future may be. Any player at his age and potential would do the same.

That being the case, we've been flogging a dead horse for some time now. Moses BS stringing us along? But Bula going along with it says a lot about Bula as well, "sorry guys, I'm worth more money" bye byes. Dollars rule over mates and WT. I know Benji needs to keep winning, but I certainly...

He only signed on for 1 year. It was only ever a temporary arrangement IMO. A team to do a preseason training with before the Perth Bears were ready to spend some dollars and come into the NRL comp. No shock horror here.

I think Benji nominated Doueihi early in the off season to be the half. And trained for it. Madden has thrown a spanner in the works with his good game management and kicking. Doueihi is 97kg because of it. Too late to bulk up now. Not the ideal weight for a Leo style lock IMO, but would be OK...

I thought he was a standout in the trials. Effort, minutes and D.

Just hope Doueihi learns to kick long and low to the grass when kicking. And gets Luai and the backline deep in the red zone. Watched the other teams on the weekend and they stood very deep in the red zone and got results.

And now they're trying Mason as a centre. Gotta have him in somewhere, just don't know what position he is good at? Extended reserve?

Not a bad side. But all of a sudden, we have no depth! It's going to be a long year AGAIN.

Theoretically yes. In a perfect world, BUT LET'S NOT FORGET, Benji under pressure to win games no matter what. ie the best available winger gets the nod.

Again!

Exactly. When an on-field talent shines through they still have to pass a face-to-face assessment from Benji, our talent scout, our CEO and the players management. They need to be able to separate the BS from reality. Where their headspace is, family and future ambitions. And then pray they get...

I think, in context, he meant spending TOO MUCH on too many. But you must invest/spend something, but be more be selective. That's the hard part, getting that right.

Staggs is not alone. Early days-----but, My take on the game. 1) Walsh was absolutely crap. Missed bombs, did not make a break, poor defence, a poor game overall If that was Bula this forum would go into meltdown. 2) Reynolds was crap also. his bombs always found Penrith players. Game management...

Just like Stefano. We just have to start winning on a regular basis. Then we attract or retain these players.
