I said a month or so ago we should go after Welch, and boom, Broncos are interested in signing him. Just like Tupouniua mid-year. We missed out on sitili and he's played the best footy of his career in the past 2 months. Bulldogs will probably play him in their middle next year. We need someone...
It will be a blessing in disguise for us to start the year with a new hooker. It's an unknown period where you can try new combinations. Putting TDS in the middle or end of season has a lot more pressure. I'd let him get a bit more comfortable with first grade, let api have a break start of the...
If we don't have at least 2 wins in the first 5 rounds next year we are bound for the spoon. Starting slow will kill us. Injuries, origin period, and teams getting better in final rounds will be against us
I'm not sure about his voice and leadership as a captain as well, especially training. on the field he tries very hard but I wonder how the boys are at training. yes you need good chemistry and a happy squad, but you also need professionalism and 'respect' for everyone in the team. Which comes...
Api has had a very poor season. 2023 he was our best player by a mile. It's just calling it for what it is. It doesn't mean we hate him, it's so that we can get him playing at his best so the team can play at it's best
I've said it on many occasions. But the Api is perfect fanatics return with the "he's working hard and carrying the team" every time. He's become such a liability this year. Most sin binned player, can't kick for touch (he shouldn't kick to begin with), most missed tackles of any player, and...
I honestly think galvin would do well with a few weeks in reserve grade to start next year. He's 18 and has the world at his feet, but a good coach knows when to give them a rest and let them cool down. Even with Ivan Cleary, he dropped turuva which at the time seemed a bit unfair given how bad...
All his errors are symptoms of being given too much responsibility. Constantly overplaying his hand is making him look like a rubbish player, when in reality he's doing too much, not too little. A good coach would tell him to step aside and let someone else have a crack, but seeing as our...
I think benji can get better. I don't think Benji can be a top 8 team coach, let alone one that can win a premiership. He will get a year or 2 then hopefully a great coach is available and boom goodbye Benji. He's just not the answer long-term, but was a hit and hope silver bullet
I think a lot of this is cope from our fans that he will be our saviour and in reality it will just be Luke brooks 2.0 where the pressure and expectation will be too much on one player on that much money
He's won a wooden spoon and turned around teams before. There are other people we need to change first before him. The on field results are not his fault. The signings for 2025 are his doing
