Cleary and the Souths coach ain't complaining.

Thompson probably would've played in Vegas but has past legal issues that stopped him from travelling to US.If Thompson can't crack the Souths backline at the moment I wouldn't touch him.
If that’s true that shows Riccho is determined to make his club stronger. I don’t know if he’ll try and get him here, unless Benji wants him here but if Bennett did come I’m not against it.The story is, he almost had to amputate his foot because he had an injury and instead of it being looked at jumped straight on a plane to England to pitch South Sydney to Wayne Bennett.
Had a huge bearing in getting him there over us..
Even if we ignore Tyrone's past if you've watched him in Super League you'll know he's not a first grade standard player.We should be going hard for the May brothers. All three if that's what it takes
Sliding doors momentWe could have signed him for 2020 though and announced it, so any prospective recruits knew Wayne was coming. We could have made Ivan stay for 2019 which he said he would.
Pascoe was rattled by Ivans actions and just wanted him out of the joint, so we landed with Madge...and it's been 5 Seasons of struggle since.
This fantasy situation is nothing but naïve....We could have signed him for 2020 though and announced it, so any prospective recruits knew Wayne was coming. We could have made Ivan stay for 2019 which he said he would.

Agree… Tyrel is a beast and Tylan is what we need in the backsWe should be going hard for the May brothers. All three if that's what it takes
It looks like Gould helped this trend to reverseI think you might mean that other clubs plunder, Wests Tigers traditionally seem to be the ones that blunder.
Who missed out mate?Plenty of good players left out of the NRL team lineups for round 1 that could improve our side.
Agree with this, but we had the alternative of putting in an interim coach and just waiting until Bennett saw out his contract. In saying that, hindsight is 20/20.This fantasy situation is nothing but naïve....
There are limited to no business situations where someone in a senior role (In this case - Coach) Would be kept on after he told his employers he was moving to a rival business, Especially in such close proximity.
And the NRL is a far bigger affair than most every day Businesses....
It just can't and doesn't happen - Most times, You don't see out the day!!
Cleary also left 24 months early, Even if he'd stayed 2019 - He was still bailing on 2020.
I'd sacrifice a season to land arguably the greatest Coach of all time.This fantasy situation is nothing but naïve....

Not many worth picking up.Just having a look at who is off contract or potentially available in these positions of need that would be worth the club keeping an eye on:
WING: Izaak Thompson, Nick Cotric, Corey Oates. (Cotric & Thompson have the versatility to play centre, Oates previously hasn't wanted to leave Qld)
LOCK: Jack Williams, John Asiata (UK), Jazz Tevaga (Williams versatility in backrow, while Asiata/Tevaga can be lock/hooker utilities if Jake Simpkin moves on).
PROP: Oregon Kaufusi, Patrick Mago (UK).
BACK ROW DEPTH: Luke Garner, Michael Chee Kam, Euan Aitken, Jack Williams.
Any others to add to the watch list?
Anything except our then CEO and Board, making the right decision.And what happens when Bennett changes his mind (As he's done before), Or takes a position for a coach that's moved on without notice (As he was)
Or decides to wait around for 12 months for the QLD Bid....
OR (Heaven Forbid) Dies?
Anything can happen in fantasy land.... right?
