He’s only struggled at our club. Every other club from NRL, ESL, International, Origin won something. I think WT are just an outlier. You could say the same about Ivan Cleary. He couldn’t achieve success here but won multiple premierships with a star studded Penrith side.

And Latu needs to be Temu Nathan Cleary and if Pole can become Temu Payne Hass we’re going places.

If last night didn’t prove it was us not Madge nothing will. He might not be the players best friend but he gets results. The stats say 2 of our last 3 former coaches have won the last 5 premierships and neither were able to make finals at our club. Speaks volumes on how much harder it is here.

Coach themselves you say? Why didn’t the blues win the series then?

His time with us was under massive salary cap duress and we sacked him before his first year out of it and gained 3 wooden spoons. There is no doubt it was the wrong call, but it’s water under the bridge now. Decisions as a whole are much better now without Lee and Pascoe.

Brisbane. Madge proving we are the only club in the world across the NRL, ESL, International, State of Origin that he doesn’t win something with.

His tackle technique is where all of his injuries have come from bar the hamstring issues. Needs to fix that and looks like he won’t get the opportunity in the off season now.

Richo mentioned about $1M. Not sure if that was the profit, but we let go of Klemmer, Bateman, Galvin, TDS without replacing them. That’s close to $1M between them, not to mention taking home games away. So in theory if we played with a top 30 like every other club we wouldn’t have turned a profit.

Agree. Sounds a lot like a Pascoe ask the boss segment.

This place has descended into fairyland again. It might be fun to speculate about star players under contract coming to our destination club to play in their non-preferred position but it’s just a dream.

Most of them would be on holidays now, we get an early mark every year.

He’s the dogs X factor player despite all the focus on Galvin and Critto. I’d love to have him at WT. That said, I don’t think he’s a 13 and plays Luai’s exact role. I think he’s only an option if Luai decides to take the opt out clause which seems unlikely.

No recruitment team and no GM, Richo likes running on fillet. Hopefully we put some money into the football department soon.

True but we have him contracted and earmarked for the position. It doesn’t make sense to go out and sign someone else who isn’t going to move the needle on the field and may negatively impact things off the field.

I don't think he offers any more than Doueihi at lock and is a disruption off the field. Unless Carrigan, Murray or Yeo suddenly become available our squad needs a prop more.

I’d pass on Radley. Off the field he doesn’t help. On the field, he’s not really an 80 minute lock and was moved to the edge. I’d save the cash for a prop. As I said earlier Roosters have been looking for a reason to punt him.

I think it’s an excuse to sack Radley. He hasn’t been great on the field and his concussions are an issue.

Laurie was very good for us in his first year, and generally good until Bula leapfrogged him. I don't see Mason making it to 75 first grade games. Laurie is a big upgrade on Mason, and I'm not really a fan of Laurie after the Panthers fangirling antics when he was here.

If Justin Holbrook was the best coaching option on the market, Benji doesn’t seem so bad.

So do the Titans. It’s all about making it work on the field.
