JAC

[Geo]

i wonder how much this will hurt many fans / sponsors if we don't sign him

for us dyed in the wool supporters its same ol same ol ......

Think we’re at rock bottom in terms of commercial reputation, the only way is up really. If we miss JAC we’re still at rock bottom.

Yet in the top 6 of corporate revenue...go figure..

Geo, please dont let reality get in the way of the "we are rubbish, we are not worthy" narrative. you may not be warned again.

Listening to Jimmy Smith on SEN this afternoon & he made an observation about where JAC was likely to be .
His theory is that the storm won’t release JAC to a current top 8 team to make them stronger . Which ruled out the Eels & rabbits . And that did make sense .

At the end of the day he is under contract there & is only getting released on their conditions .

Just as Manly put conditions on releasing AFB only to a team outside of Sydney .

So I guess that leaves Tigers & Dogs in the frame .

And there’s something in that. The same reason they were prepared to “swap” Grant for Momo. They figured the chance of it coming back to bite them was minimal.

I haven’t see that stat reported before. Be interesting to see what the club is doing with it, certainly not turning it into a desirable location to play NRL.

Do you know why? Money? Never really wanted to come here and was hoping for other offers eg rabbits?

Says who ? So we messed up with the 25-30 range by stinking up the joint and running a dog and pony show , when these guys were young and impressionable. If that’s the general consensus , well that’s hard to argue if there’s a conscious and unconscious bias against us .
But we can now show the young kids 18-24 that hey , we have an elite coach , an elite performance unit waiting on facilities to match , a strong culture , a dormant supporter base waiting to unleash 15 years of wrath , and return the club to where it promised to be 15 years ago, and where it’s strong heritage over the last 112 years of combined winning demands us to be .

Seriously , just look how Benji and Robbie are revered. Could you imagine , truely sustained success , ala the storm , patriots Richmond tigers (recently) Crusaders etc. It’s waiting there, sitting there , for that type of player who wants to be an immortal one day.
Look at Blocker and Siro ,Benny, Gary jack they never won anything , and could easily be called out by the casual fan. And that’s just the Orange and black side.
Look at the way the wests fans revere , thier club legends.
This has been instilled in our kids , who are just waiting .
This type of message should be sent to these young players .
And I guarantee the Doueihi of the world , who want to be great , would want to be apart of that. They just needed to see that it wasn’t a fairytale but an actionable plan .
That’s honestly what I think we can ,and are, selling these young elite kids.

“Could you imagine truly sustained success”
After 9 seasons of mediocrity and looking likely to have an even inferior squad for 2021, no I can’t imagine it. 9-12th place if we’re lucky

Love the passion and the optimism. I’m yet to mark the report cards on Talau, Kepoea, McIntyre etc. and I haven’t seen Simpkin, Madden, but none of them are screaming pick me for rep footy yet. I hope next year they are all consistent FGers and I’ll eat my words.

It’s Blore , Doueihi (who’s 21) , Kei, Stefano , Simpkins , thats most exciting . Blore and stefano in particular were rated as the next big stars just 12 months ago . And Blore has already shown , he’s more likely to live up to the hype than not . It’s clear as day he’s a star in the making .

On those, I’m looking forward to seeing Blore after a Madge off season. He looked a little out of nick.

Douehi - my favourite player last yr, thought he was older than that.

Stefano - didn’t get game time in a strong eels pack - jury’s our for me

Simpkins and Kei, I haven’t seen but reports sound promising.

We had another big 4 come through a few years ago and we failed to put good leaders around them, I like Tamou as a forward leader, but I still maintain we need an aggressive hard man to stick up for the kids while they’re learning.

He has backflipped on us...I mentioned this last week...

Do you know why? Money? Never really wanted to come here and was hoping for other offers eg rabbits?

He indicated he was happy and gave us many verbal assurances with our 4 year offer and it’s reported structure, then last week indicated he is has gone cold on us....

It certainly happened at the Richmond Tigers. They were a basketcase, not having made finals for nearly a decade. Solid management and backing some good young kids started their new journey. They are now a powerhouse. Fingers crossed for our Tigers.
