Prob is Sezer and Blake are both cooked...in the SL. And were cooked years ago in Aus. Yes, both could do a very basic job for 2 years...better than what we have now (but so are most state cup halves) Two years of those two though would mean completely wasting two years of Api, Klemmer and...

The kid has been available for a while...we had exactly what they needed. Why was there no deal? I can't remember who it was...but one poster here came up with a brilliant line the other day. "The Tigers are the masters of the one man swap". The Penrith Panthers have reportedly pulled out...

Yeah...it looks basically like we wanted to wait on Brooks before even targeting a half. Rather than striking when opportunity presents itself...

They also needed him. Their middles were getting worn out first six weeks. RCG and Paulo off = collapsed. Now they have depth. And now they are letting Sanders talk to other clubs...so they are not keeping him anyway. How on earth did we not insist on him being part of the deal.

Yeah...but we could have insisted they include Sanders. Make it clear he is not in their plans / needs to be in the deal.

For all the insiders, or anyone familiar with our negotiating process, I am genuinely interested in how we miss what appear easy deals. Case One: Joe O / Parra Fact: Parra wanted a middle forward immediately due to injuries. Parra desperate as they believe they are in a premiership window...

well, Lee and co. pretty much tell the SMH about everyone else we speak to...

I honestly think neither tried. Naden ran up and barely bothered even pretending to defend. Need both of them and Talau and co gone asap.

Lee seems to have his heart in the right place...but also seems to have zero idea about footy. "about to embark on a very aggressive recruitment drive".... In July 2023...when hardly a soul is left to sign. He likely does not even know that.

what a depressing team... AJ 'and' Talau back...just when I thought we'd seen the back of them. That means no "immediate" swap for Fainu also.

Would have said zero chance a month ago...but Camroux could not be worse than Wakeham. Might be worth a shot?

Interesting Faagutu moved up already. Will be a star. Hopefully Reilly goes well. And the 6 and 7... Where is Matamua?

Lee will def spit out some rhetoric about it not being who were are. Pascoe took a 6 week holiday last season...would be hard for him to criticise anyone. Again: not saying anyone should not have a break. But these blokes annually get ALL of Sept off when other teams are playing finals and...

Yes...a genuine concern. If they are signed, we will be okay. If they are on the fence, every club will be saying "do you really want to ruin your careers...74-0...they are a joke". Losses like today have massive impact on recruitment.

Yeah he was in Fiji in a 5 star resort. Again, I have no probs with that...but it is not a good look when the coach in waiting is updating social media with beach shots. Basically, everyone took the 10 day break off. In a way it is nice...capt sees his child, coach in waiting gets some Island...

He went, as far as I know, to see his daughter. And I 100% get that and empathise. If it was funeral, and reports indicate it was not, then let the man take the week off. But the trip was to see his daughter. Again, I 100% can relate to that. But he is being paid a lot of money AND we won't...

Not sure. But the CL was mid season and ended up finishing 9th. He came back completely flat and we got smashed. One game...who cares...chance for him to see Liverpool...etc But we finished one game out of the semi finals. Again, that is the culture.

Blore made 41 tackles and had to cover absolutely atrocious backline defenders outside him all game. Was still there on the line 80th min. Tried his heart out. 3. Blore 2. Blore 1. Blore I will honestly be shocked if multiple backs did not take the whole week as a holiday. Some were simply not...

Firstly, I have had to spend a fair amount of time away from my family the past decade. So, I have jumped on planes at all hours whenever I have had a chance. So, I completely get it. But Bateman flying to the UK and spending ten days there...arriving back Thursday...shows how unprofessional we...

I have seen him about ten times in state cup. He has done absolutely nothing. He is honestly miles behind even Tuki Simpkins. If it were not for his family connection, I doubt he would even make a single NRL squad in 2024. Maybe he will be a late...very late...developer...but he is honestly...
