I'm out We lost 32/0 vs the Bulldogs who we should have made a showing against. Andrew Webster called us a "practise run" when we vs'd the Warriors last week. Our side has given up. I have given up. All kudos to the true believers, not knocking you and heck I respect you. Respect to all the...

I .. I don't think this is AD and I don't exactly think this is Jack Wighton at Center. Look there is room in your backline for a type like that. Usually they are a left Center that is hard to handle/tackle and helps hold the line. Ok, the Souths Sailor (aka Sailor Moon) outfit Wighton...

Finally a NRL player says something so stupid, I just have to agree! Note: will settle for 50.

We need someone with grit and he has that. But I think a 5/8 would not help our team. Heck we have one of League's best 5/8's here and we are not winning. The real loss was Adam Reynolds. Wish we could have signed him. Sadly Bennett steered him away. Also Madge should have had Reynolds on...

That's the weird thing. The Eels have a board that wants to knife the coach on a regular basis. Even when they were winning. Manly have been just as bad, Heck thinking Siebold would be the answer there. Well we know the truth, he just came to knock out Des. Credit where credit is due, St...

That's why when people call our "mangagement" a basketcase I mention two clubs: Eels and Manly.

Yea, ah. Correlation Does not equal Causation! Now which team has a coach that played "rugby Union"? Cmon, I can think of one. It's both a foundation club and a merger of two teams. Ill say the common demoninator between Roosters and Sharks is Craig FitzGibbon. He would wressle any player on...

Hmm, surprisingly the Wests Tigers fail to develop a junior half into a NRL halfback. That's surprising to everyone, except those who know this club! Not arguing, but that Latu is a 500k fizzer should be no surprise to anyone. We can't develop halfbacks.

Agreed forum Fiction is too kind of a word for it. I call it Forum Batman fanflick fantasy. No one is removing clauses from contracts! They certainly are not going to do it because the GM is a 'nice guy'. Maybe someone would offer Luai 1.4 instead of 1.2 and to remove the clauses... It would...

The question is would Richo have seen Luai as a GUN or as a move-on? Answer: Richo manages the club. If Benji tells Richo to punt Luai early, he would punt him. Maybe Richo would keep Luai here, I really doubt it. Luai knows if it's working or not. Luai knows if he fits the team structure or...

Sam Hughes/Ray Stone - meat and potatoes -> Agreed. we need work horses. Blore is off to the Dragqueens. I think Tuilagi is off to Superleague?? Frizzel almost captain?? NO. I would take him, but it would have to be unders. Several late contract players haven't worked out for us like Packer...

Is it: 1. Jahream Bula 2. Sunia Turuva 3. Jake Averillo 4. Taylan May 5. Makasini/ Tupou/ Tavana There are two elements to this: 1. can this backline defend? IMHO not the best, but better we have seen. We loose muscle. 2. Is there strike power? IMHO a bit but not enough. Averillo can...

Does it matter? Sure we have our junior team and little kids who play for the Berala Bears or whatever have a club logo on their shirt. We have Api and AD or whoever's bored do some training with them occasionally at Lidcombe oval. They leave, they stay... It doesn't matter that much. The...

100% The St George game, it's close and Api leaves the field. Suddenly we give up and let through a bunch of tries. I love Api, but I wonder if that is a part of the problem. Our team need to own the game and own the effort. Api is always putting in 100%, others are slacking off. This...

The Saints game really proved Api's value. Api leaves the field. Team collapses. Honestly Api is the one player we can pretty much agree on was a godsend.

Look cut the dead wood, but lets get real. Bateman, Luai, and so SO many players can't just be a them thing. We keep signing these 4 year deals saying "we need THIS player" and then 1-2 years later they are suddenly not the right fit. If the board is right about anything, it is about...

He does look like a Ken doll with NO tan and black hair. Very Manchurian candidate.

Yea that's great. Why lets upgrade EVERYONE not on the field? Seriously who thinks this? Several times, this year we have put our best 1-19 and gotten our butts handed to us. We still need a dedicated 7, so lets upgrade our fringe players from minimum contracts to 200k-300k and make sure...

Yea agree with this. No knocking Luai, he brought some class to this joint. When he started we really saw our defense improve and the riff tank. Yet it's only been a tiny few games where he has justified the 1.2m The rest he either goes AWOL or really doesn't offer anything more then any...

is this Luai?? Its a nobrainer deal. Parra replace Pezet with a class 5/8. We offload 900k (1.2m - 300k) worth of cap space and let Latu/AD/Madden become a half pairing.
