Let’s be realistic

The jockey picked the donkey.

It seems the trainer knows what’s best to win, he has bought in his own stable of champions. At least the donkey is enjoying life, field of happiness.🤣🤣🤣

Are you saying we shouldn’t expect anything from Koroisau and Papali’i?

No I’m not

 

[The SHADOW]

We could have sacked a number of people for failing to deliver. This is a much bigger problem than Maguire as is demonstrated by how we continue to perform and recognised by others who were not interested in walking into his shoes.

Madge was the problem, can’t see him coaching in the NRL again.
Widnes or Hull can have him

They are part of the donkey. It’s our donkey, the donkey Madge had to deal with.

I don’t know what your problem is , and I don’t care to solve it. Sheens is in charge now, deal with it.

That is precisely the stinking thinking which keeps us in this mess. As long as we can pin the whole sorry tale on one person, then getting rid of him suddenly makes the world a better place.

You seem to have no difficulty finding the problems?
Madge is the problem.
Twenty forty is the problem.
What about solutions? Do you see any of those?

Loyalty no longer exists in footy or forums. Madge earned nothing and got nothing. You know what they say about doing the same thing again and again , you go crazy. Now times it X 3.5 . At least we showed some.

Only really responding to telltails opening post , and I’ll defend it.

We sacked Maguire to get Ciraldo

Where are you going with it.
who are you to question opinions.

You would have to think there's a few on borrowed time.
CEO for one

What is this ?
im being realistic, try it.

 

[InBenjiWeTrust]

😂

We need to get our shit together and start looking like an NRL team!!!!

IMHO, the NRL organisation should not be anyone's benchmark, as they (ATM) present extremely low standard, they could not run properly even under 10's lemonade sell!
Our benchmark should be the NBA, NFL, NHL, Premier League or as the team the Storm, Golden State Warriors or San Antonio Spurs.

Well we didn't sack Maguire to end up with Sheens as coach. We certainly tried to tie up Ciraldo before another club did.

 

[The SHADOW]

We sack Madge for obvious reasons, he just not good enough, he wasn’t sacked to get Ciraldo.

I might forgive, but i won’t forget.

Yes

 

[trentrunciman]

We’ll get at least one more win

Against Canberra (because I’ll be there)

 

[Papacito]

@teddy23 hit the nail on the head - our roster this season was always going to finish around the bottom of the ladder.

As much as I love the club and will stick by it, I know that most of the blokes that pull on the jumper every week were not wanted by their previous club, and were let go so their club could spend the money on a junior that was on the way up.

If we're going to be a competitive club in the future, you need to look beyond next season and perhaps even the season beyond that.

Is the club doing enough to ensure we have a big pool of 17 year olds, in the hope that a few will be good first graders in 2024-2025?

A centre of excellence alone won't do this, we need a big effort from the club, with many people involved so we can finally develop some genuine talent that's on the way up rather than signing has-beens who are on the way down.

Api and Ice will probably be enough to avoid the spoon, but I am not optimistic about our top 8 prospects. We have no depth in the second row, and we need experience props to bring the kids on.

We should absolutely be pursuing the likes of Klemmer and Frizell.

I don't disagree with you as we have to recruit a lot better but neither of the blokes you mention will be playing in the semis either.

This is the mind set we need.
