I just don't understand our recruitment I really don't

We let go of players like Skelton and Sukkar what depth are we going to have?

It can't be cap management these players are on peanuts and Latu should be willing to take a paycut considering we have supported him through his injuries

Latu is gonna be interesting negotation..performance clauses rule I suspect
Supposedly on $500k ..2027 is his final year.Done nothing
If u look past his very numerous injuries over past two years,its difficult to identify whether when fully fit whether hes gonna make it
Ive seen glimpses of his talent...but was outplayed by Conti,and not up to Large who I never understood why we let go
Roosters clearly have someone lined up for Sam..probably Deardon??
Maybe some fall out of a proven 7 which mite offer better value than Latu

You gotta be careful with the Roosters, they will burn you if they have had enough.

His dopey management pushed too hard..was almost certainly given a more than fair offer,and adequate warning..and chose to ignore it
Biggest offer in Roosters history
Thats why Politis is a billionaire..calls out rubbish,and almost certainly has a back up plan
Sams talented,but not rite for us..too eratic..too expensive

Do you think Conti looked the better player between them the other night? He was more involved because he played 7 and Latu played 6, but no chance he looked the better player

I don't think it is real Champ.

What is real is that the Betoota Advocate thought it ok to take the piss for the very reason some people will think it real.

Good satire has a degree of truth about it.

Just like Fox Sports the other day running a story about the proposed Wildcard round and thought it appropriate to put Wests Tigers front and center in the graphic for the article.

You may be happy about being the punchline in a piss take but I am not.

Like you, i have been against us getting Sam (not that it would happen anyway). However a Walker at 7 and Latu at 6 could go good the more i think about it. That being said,it would cost us 1.8 to 2mil to get him. So thats a big no

You can't compare what Benji is working with on the field or off when making comparisons with the actions of the Roosters. It's like comparing the haves to the have nots.

This is not about resources though, any strong willed club would have sacked AD for refusing to play to reinforce culture and standards around the place, dosen't matter if you are a flegg player or the best in the first team

It really was a baffling decision by the club. They had 2 choices, keep Doueihi and allow a drop in discipline and standards, send a horrible message through the club and the game in general...or....sack him immediately, draw a line in the sand and don't have to pay a angle cent for him to play elsewhere. Really makes me angry they were with so stupid and weak. Now if it kicks off again we will have to pay for him to go elsewhere and it will be yet another disruption we dont need.
 
Tiger Tarl said:
I understand the rhetoric against Doueihi's actions this year but by all reports, including from his own mouth and the agent side, Adam apologised, owned up to his selfish behaviour, fronted his teammates and the media and said it was one of his lowest moments and a wake-up call for himself. I'm sure we've all made a goose of ourselves at times, the difference is he owned it and wants to make it right. What if it was you or your son? I'd hope we could follow the coaching staff and those who know him and extend even a little grace. Or does one bad day mean burn him at the stake? Surely we're better than that, aren't we?

That said, if it happens again, then it's seeya later.

Buzz Rothfield is on MMM saying its wasn’t Sam’s management it was Sam himself that wouldn’t sign what the 3 yr deal his management and Roosters had worked out.

Yeah,I do.Small sample size I know...
But we put everything on Latu and threw away Conti and Large,which never made any sense to me
Theyre all kids..still are..and u never know how their talent will evolve
Feeling very vulnerable committed to Latu and Madden for 27 as our 7s
Need better

Benji was totally compromised...Douhi,easily his best attacking player(regardless of his flaws)wld have been sorely missed if we let him go,and candidly Benji no longer has the pulling power to attract a suitable replacement
So he needed Douhi
And Benji is unable to develop our junior playmakers into better players
So he bought time(for himself) by selling out to ADs unacceptable tantrums
Ive never seen that work in any industry
Dont expect 27 to be much different
Is Potter still available ??Impressive

Conti is my boy so I am biased, but you can't judge him on that performance, Tongans smashed the Lebos no halfback is going to look good.
