Not surprising.
I’m sorry to repeat myself but …. our top 30 roster is extremely poor, particularly past first 20 or so. And even then there are few there that are not living up to their potential and/or are at best just reserve grade standard.
…. we might jag another few wins but I don’t...
Agree with this 100%.
Flanagan May be many things but he knows his footy.
He tweaked that roster and made sure that lack of talent is replace by size and aggression both in the forwards and the backs. He has great half in Hunt and an overall team that seems to be consistently up, motivated and...
Yea…. LOL. Some people just can’t see talent and need a pronto visit to spec savers. Would love Lomax … covers wing, centre, fullback, is aggressive, prolific try machine for Saints and longer term utility forward option.
But guess we won’t get him. Arthur is great at attracting and recruiting...
With right discount and right attitude he could be turned into quite a weapon. Something we lack at lock.
Someone would need patience and time to get the kids clock and confidence to wha it was when he first arrived on the scene.
Clubs over the years recruitment …. you call it what you will.…. incompetent, amateurish, inept, fractured, blundering or just inexperienced, unlucky, indecisive, or just plain old jinxed.
One thing stands out for me is that quality of our back up roster which is missing year after year.…. and...
Yep I had one only recently. Make sure they pick the right spot for the injection to take full effect AND make sure you don’t do what I did and after 4-5 days of taking things easy we went out walking at Terrigal and decided to take on the Skillion Lookout Hill. Not a good idea for which I am...
Loved watching him with my young mates on Lidcombe hill ….. a tough nut for a backline player in the early days and yes …, he transitioned well to back line role.
I seem to remember him pile-driving Beetson and getting penalised for it.
RIP ….l very sorry to hear his passing.
unfortunately...
He will probably have his opinion …. he is one smart cookie as far as NRL is concerned.
A far more structured approach and that’s reflected in the clip from few years ago.
I had some level of respect for Pascoe particularly in regards to his financial ability to get us out of the deep hole we...
Interesting insight from Shane Richardson few years old …. but very relevant given what’s transpired at the club over last few days.

I’m kind of Surprised that this took so long.
He never really got the team going forward.
Totally unexplainable player retention recruitment and team selection decisions.
Hope that sticking with Benji strategy moves us forward.
Wait and see …… maybe Lady Luck will smile on us for a change.
