Having your club well funded doesn’t guarantee success but gives you a massive leg up against clubs that are run on the smell of an oil rag. For that reason alone it is absolutely highly unlikely our 2027 campaign will be any different to the last decade.

That especially applies for Pathways, recruitment officers, development officers, identification and recruitment of young players.

With our luck it will take him all of next season to get over the injury.

Why would we want to employ someone who's initials are POS. 🤔
We already have enough POS running the joint. 🤣

I thought you had to sign Lachlan Galvin to win Premierships, at least that was what Gus told me. 🤔
Pretty good....but my point is hes only been coaching 3 years...done no apprenticeship.
He could.be great until .
But i think wed benefit from.someone that has a lotta runs on the board
Fixed it for you..

If they are replacing some of our young non performers on low one year deals as suggested I think it’s not bad business for 2027.
Plus
Frizell’s performance during the semis would suggest he will provide some quality depth in a position we were short in this year
Mann will provide general coverage at a higher level than mason could provide.
Brailey will provide hooker relief for API instead of Hope so that’s a positive.
In theory I think all positive, subject to juniors developing or bigger signings for 2028 ——>

Maybe its who we grew up watching.
Sterling was before my time. Ricky and Langer were the first ones I was really exposed to. Used to absolute love ricky with his long balls and kicking game.. but I thought joey took it to another level. I recall weeks he was injured and the knights lose by 50... he would return the following week and theyd win by 20.. the influence he had on those Newcastle teams was like what you see with a 6 foot 90kg kid in under 9s

Well look at the positives, we can farewell them at next year's GF presentation for retiring players. We didn't have any this year.😊

I find it very funny with Matteson he wanted a two year contract with Melbourne to go there I personally think he would have pulled the plug on season 27 left Melbourne in the pool and went after a medical retirement to fill his pockets like a mercenary
Didn’t he coach in the bush for a year as well?
Somewhere round Coffs?

Yep. I think that is very telling.
We have an extremely young squad. I'd prefer to throw a frizzel or a mann into the 19 rather than a junior who isn't ready. We need that experience and profesionalism. We do not have it.
Depth with quality guys at the end of their career vs depth in unproven juniors. I know who'd I take. Especially on year by year contracts.
When the juniors are ready, we retire the seniors. Or, if they get injured, we medically retire them early and bring the junior in faster.
The direction is the right one in my book.

He was massive at the Raiders super star in the making with Ricky's tough love but took the easy way
We're aiming to recruit experience.
Surely Frizz on a 1 year deal > Tamou.
I'm not a huge fan but the guy just played in a grand final and is a former rep player.
He's there to do a job.
