Can the WT make the top 8 in 2023

[earl]

Been saying it a lot lately…unless the recruitment team has plans in action to replace the pigs we‘ve lost - from outside this system - not only will we not make the 8, we will be down the arse end of the ladder once again.

We are getting rolled in the forwards.

We are getting rolled in the forwards.

Wait till we lose Tamou, Leilua, Kelma and Garner. Next year is scarey as hell.

Admit I was a little envious watching the forwards from last night's game (Broncos v Raiders) and thought it was a quality battle.
They're leagues ahead of ours.

Well they offered zero today, so it won't be much different.

 

[oldschooltiger]

I think we will just fall short by about 16 points.

It's been scary enough this season,

If it gets any scarier the broadcasters will need to change rheir content ratings so that parents can stop their kids from watching the horror show.

We need to sign a bunch of players yet alone a couple more class players to actually win us games.

Our forwards are getting rolled and we are losing guys that have performed at times. Luc was terrible today but has been our best forward for the last couple of years.

Idk I am still optimistic about this season not looking too far ahead

The team will be lucky if they win another game this season.

Either you listen to Sheens or, like the previous 3.5 years listen to "ebbs and flows" with that stunned mullet look on his face.

You mean like ‘there are reasons not excuses’ for the dismal performance? Sheens had his own set of memes to gloss over and deflect defeat.

Thats our best hope for next year those lot going. Seyfarth and Musgrove can follow them out the door and we might be a chance

If they aren’t there, who is? That’s the problem.

 

[PJ2]

You can't coach shit to not be shit

Wooden Spoon for 2022 & 2023. Prepare yourselves.

So our pack next year is;
Twal
Koroisau
Utoikamanu
Papali’i
Blore
Offahengaue
…with reserves all coming from KOE.

Heaven forbid we get any injuries…

Why?

 

[bathursttiger1]

Which decade?

Add in Musgrove but it doesn't change anything.

We are in massive trouble next year without a big recruitment drive in the forwards but the players aren't available.

How many injuries do you get each year to your top forward pack. I reckon you'd be lucky to get just one player rubbed out for the season.

Imagine how Papali‘I is feeling. Leaving one of the best packs in the comp to come to this abortion. Least for his sake he’ll be on good money.

Gonna be another paddlin next season unless they bring in at minimum two decent props and promote a third.

Money ain’t everything. This move is bad for him. He will lose in the long run
