Your point is relative ,we do take opposition lightly , and need to extinguish that from our game , if we hope to climb the ladder

How can you say that we STILL arent a rubbish club? We had 24 unanswered points put on us by the team running last.

The players have been talking all year about building something special and this unique bond they have.. If that were true, we don't lose that game tonight..

Ok, here’s my curve ball for comment.
Was Madden signed coz Benji has been quietly advised that Luai may, and I said may, activate his exit clause ?
Otherwise it’s a very strange decision ( for both parties ).

No one in their right mind had us making the 8.
I had us finishing around this position. I thought with some new players it was achievable, still challenging, but realistic.

We seldom played for 80 mins.
We had the Galvin saga.
We weren’t consistent over the season.

But we all saw something this year. We showed grit and flair.
We became watchable again.
We had some great wins. Some games we should have won. And some we’d rather forget.

I don’t agree that our squad is so much better that we should have finished higher. We brought in some guns, but our team is still a way off top 8, and for us to finish higher our team simply needs more artillery. And experience together.

Was it a failure of a season? Well, we missed the 8. So yes it’s a failure for me.

But it was not as much of a failure as recent seasons. Far from it.

We have to acknowledge the fact we had the most wins in 6 years and this, following 3 years of spoon in a row.
It is not insignificant.

So whether that represents a “huge improvement” to you, or a little improvement, either way it’s something.
Potential.
This team can build on that.
And they must.

lol it was a failure of a season, but not as big of a failure as the past three years of failure. Those failures were big fails.

No…I believe Luai will be at the club at least 2 more years… and he might see out the whole deal … madden is a depth piece.. he will play plenty of Cup unless the injury bug really bites

Where is he going to go?
It was always about the money despite the bullcrap on here.
Who is going to fill his piggy bank to the same level we have?

They might be NRL class, which is an improvement, but there’s not enough consistency out of the backline to make them top 8 worthy IMO.

You don’t give them enough opportunities when you have rookie tackle zero errors from guys like Seyfarth & Pole.

If our backline is playing behind a forward pack who fights for the win every week and plays intelligent footy we’ll climb the ladder, I have no doubt.
 
There is no doubt there is a good side in there. The skeleton is there we are just missing some muscle.

2026 off season recruiting is so important, we need quality starter forwards that can push the Pole's and Seyfaths as bench and depth only. Twal has improved a lot but shouldn't be considered good enough to start.

2-3 more signings and pretty much the entire deadwood of previous years have been turned over.

There’s plenty of positives in my opinion. Our backs are now NRL class and our pack is young. We lack hard men who opponents fear. Remains to be seen if it’s coachable or we just need to rebuild the pack. Trust Richo is well aware of this.

We're a right centre away from our backs being NRL class. To'a is a massive liability. He was awful tonight. His defence is worse than Douehi's ever was
