If we don’t sign at least two big, strong aggressive forwards next year, we’ll be bottom four again. KPP is not strong or aggressive

Yeah and compare that to TDS today, chalk and cheese. 2028???? What about next year and 2027?

Too small, not aggressive or strong enough

What about Toas game in defence, minus 3

We need a couple of big, strong aggressive forwards, like a few of those kiwis. If we don’t we will be bottom four again next year. From what I’ve seen of KPP, he is not strong or aggressive, where are they going to come from?

Did you see TDS today, he can throw great ball

When I mentioned short term thinking, I was referring to Api having possibly only two good years left, whereas TDS could have possibly twelve good years left. Both have positive and negative outcomes, they chose Api for obvious reasons, so lets hope it works.

I think he talks the talk for a positive perception about the club, it's important, it flows on throughout the organisation and the football world. And part of that perception is that HBG has employed the right bloke to turn things around. And before HBG invests more, Richo needs to show that...

1. Turuva 2. Skelton 3. AD 4. To’a 5. Staines 6. Luai 7. Latu 8. May 9. Api 10. Pole 11. Samuela 12. Sukkar 13. Twal 14. Bird 15. Sione 16. Hunt 17. Seyfarth Strongest side and I like Bird around the team, gives some experience, which we need with such a young side and can fill in backs. Hunt...

He gave the coach a big wrap after the game

Turuva Latu Pole

Yeah but being an old Magpies fan, you must be okay or use to, being sh*t ;) For staters, only four premierships and the most spoons of any team.

Yes but you keep forgetting one simple fact, Wests were a basket case 25 years a go and would not be represented in any way (Wests Tigers) if it was not for Balmain.....and visa versa. Yes that's right, not represeneted, so on behalf of Balmain........you're welcome.

What does this mean? BTW I think Richo has done a good job considering the circumstances, we are a better club then last year, both on and off the field. As we all know next year is so important because it will explain if we really are on the up.

Yes, I think that would be the ultimate signing, it won't happen but............. The Samoan connection does give us a 1% chance

Good, we're not the Wests magpies. You have team in reserve grade, Balmain doesn't, so what are you complaining about Stop livin' in the past maaaaan

Depends how good he becomes. If he's very good, probably not but if he's okay then probably yes. No seriously, if we are winning games and sniffing around the top eight, then that will help and a perception of us being on the improve then yes, we will keep him. So no......;)

Yeah, hopefully our forwards will take it personally if they get 'outplayed' by this inexperienced pack. However, we still will need to score some points and that looks like a big ask. Our halves can throw a good ball and Latu has some speed so maybe they can do it.

Yes you’re right but do you really think he will be sacked? It would be very surprising. So, we have to hope he has made his decisions for the good of the club. For example, the TDS decision is short term thinking so we assume Api will help us get to the semis next year and the year after...

Can take a lot of that with a grain of salt however, being an inexperienced coach, he may feel the pressure of these big personalities and hardened first graders. Actually it would hard not to, in his position. We have to back him though, we don’t have a choice.
