Bula and Attard in front of him at fullback...not sure he had any better chances in other positions.

Did or will the HBG decision to blow the board up and result in our CEO resigning affect anything in your opinion?

Hindsight how? He knocked us back on prior occasions and was quick to ask for releases at the first opportunity. He had built some form already. It was clear to anyone paying attention.

Yeah that's true. As you say, sideways needs players running straight lines as options to turn it inside and hold the inside defenders. Otherwise the defenders just follow him across field. When he is the only one who knows what he's doing, it doesn't look good. Our other guys need to be aware...

Too much sideways from Luai. We looked better when one of the halves straightened things up.

I’m no expert, but I’ve always thought of clever structure as the default, not the end game. You don’t drive somewhere because the road is exciting. You drive because it gets you to places where you actually can do something exciting. Once you see the turn-off you want, you can take it. If not...

I don't think it will make a difference to the bottom teams and will probably strengthen the better teams.

It's rare that 18/19 year olds kill it in grade off the bat and if they do, their bodies can't handle it for a sustained period. I'm happy if they are all carving up NSW cup first and build some confidence, physicality and fitness. If they are good enough, NRL will come. Attard is a bit older...

I would sign great deals and commercial contracts for the club without board approval and let them sack me. The only way around HBG.

Glad you're on board

I'll do the job for 50k a year. Does that mean we should sack Shaun?

You mean the HBG boys club operating now?

In fairness, the roster was identified as an issue and he spent 18-24 months getting the cap back into shape and roster competitive. Last year was an improvement and you would expect with a year player together under their belt, they'll be better for it. Why blame Benji anyway? He just signed...

Da Silva wanted 600k and was still developing Galvin offered a mill and knocked it back Stefano offered 800k knocked it back Bula....let's see Makasini...signed Fainus...signed Seyfarth? He's been here forever although I wish we'd let him go long ago The rest are not good enough for first...

I got the point. He's not batting at 100%. But who is?

Agreed. Good value and underrated.

Despite any losses, they were replaced with upgrades. That's good work in my opinion. All clubs lose players...clubs even lose players to us. We only lost overvalued and/or underperforming players. I put Galvin, Da Silva and Stefano in the overvalued camp. The squad that has been assembled...

Bars are for tourists

Will be us in 2 years...same old story when HBG wield their 90% ownership power

spent a few days in Hong Kong before Christmas then back home to Bangkok. Happy to be back.
