CEO - Shane Richardson

Legit question why haven’t we just paid out those dead woods tumeth etc in our top 30? they can’t be on too much left and a roster spot is surely more valuable than having them hanging around when Benji is never going to pick them.
 
Realistically we probably need to change a third of our roster or more.
Yeah that’s why he may promote positions 28,29 & 30 before the deadline and then take 5 months to get his shit together, remembering he has to sell some of our players before buying more.
 
I had never really noticed Hunt until we signed him then watched Sharks games closer
nailed it. finally someone with sense. Luke Luuali won't see reggies again once he gets a crack and injury free run.
I like him...he had some ticker whichnisnt always evident here.
His size the only concern really and even the best like To'o as we saw last week can have issues here
 
Is it true that we have 27 players in our top 30? How are we going to fill the last three spots? Only four weeks to decide on those spots before they have to be filled.
As long as we had 30 at any time prior to June 30, which we did, then we are compliant. Bigger issue is we need the spots filled for depth this yr.
 
Those positions are still vacant and I personally haven’t seen any absolute game changers on the market since we freed up those spots. I’m happy for Richo to fill the vacancies with quality players who want to join us. The Dogs rebuild wasn’t instantly successful either.
That's the trick isn't it?

Do we wait for the right players? If so, that means we will loose games.

Do we hire for the gaps we have, i.e. KPP and others... Sure fits the bill but it may mean we are stuck with a paperweight for 3 years.

choose wisely.
 
Internal upgrades

Heath Mason
Krystian Mapapalang
... maybe Charlie Murray
Richo simply has to manufacture one external signing from somewhere. Best performers from Q or NSW cup, Super League, the Socceroos for all I care. Anywhere.

3 internal upgrades to replace the first grade players we have lost will be a massive failure. Mason is the only one who remotely deserves an upgrade.
 
KPP helps on an edge and I reckon we push seyfarth into the middles rotation. He's better at just getting the ball and running straight than playing on an edge

But agreed, we need a few signings in the forwards.
We dont need another bludging pommie like kpp he is a dead set bludger always gets caught out in defence and plays when he feels he wants to no thankshe cant even make the English 30 squad.

I tend to agree with this.
The bloke is not cut from the same cloth as those that the Raiders sign.
He could be with a stern mentor but I dont think Marshall is the guy to do it.

If we keep writing off potential recruits the way we do on here, we won't sign anyone.

KPP is a better recruit than Bird and Seyfarth so I say yes, you have to consider the new teams coming in it's going to get harder to recruit players from this Nov and 26, 60 more players diluting the talent pool.

FFS Richo pull the finger out and get some signings done.

I’m not writing him off.
I do question whether he is better than Bird and Seyfarth though. If he is, then good stuff 👍🏼
 
I am a massive supporter of Richo but we need 2 things:

1 - We need to announce some signings if we have them to settle us all with some good news..

2 - We need to grow some balls and stick up for the club, Players and Supporters by talking about the refs and how we are always on the wrong end of calls. Them 2 sin bins tonight which costs us the game would not have been sin bins for any other team. The refs know we don't complain or blowup like Hastler, Ricky, etc.. BUT guess what it works as they seem to get a fair go unlike us.

Sorry not trying to whinge but just over getting walked on every single week and no one sticking up for us and players.

I'm starting to see why players want to leave because they know we don't get any favours...
On the first point. I agree we need to be building a squad but he shouldn’t give a stuff what the fans think and do what he needs to do to get results. He knows how to do that better than any of us.

Next couple of months are very important for he and Benji. If we start to slide back again I have no doubt our board will get involved again.
