Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Yes but to sign any players we had to offload some as well that’s business, If he didn’t offload anyone we would still have the same squad as last year which I think we can agree was doing us no good.
I don’t think we have finished as I’m expecting more to be moved on at the end of this year.
We are still a year or 2 away from seeing results
Unfortunately it’s not going to happen overnight.
I know we all want instant results but it’s just not going to happen.
Only problem about ur 2 year build, we will have lost 4-5 of the best we have and then the next 5-10 year rebuild starts all over again , it never ends with the tigers , had we got two decent backrowers to go with what we got , I believe we would have made the 8 , as it is we will struggle
 
If it doesnt happen in the next couple of years, Benji for starters but probably Richardson as well will be moved on.
We ARE after instant results, thats why we have acted the way we have. We have a window for top 8 this year, top 8-4 next year and premiership tilt from 2027 - 29. Anything less is failure.
That’s where I differ with you,
I don’t see us as a top 8 team this year, but after a few more signings at the end of this season we push for a top 8 finish in 26. And in this time our younger players either start displaying the talent our recruitment team think they have or we could still be sitting in the same position we are now.
At least this management are trying things and hopefully it all turns out the way they think.

What are they trying? Sacking all the older blokes and hiring heaps of younger guys from other clubs? Cool if it works.
If it doesnt work out, itll be their arses. Thats how it goes but make no mistake, they need immediate results despite what you think.

Agree we need 2 second row’s and 1or 2 Centre’s plus a more dynamic fullback.
We can’t buy them all in one offseason if they’re not available,
I don’t want to see us buy these players if they are only average players let’s wait to someone that is going to make a difference to our team becomes available.

Sack all the old blokes, and rep players
- Gives them a ready made excuse for failure and to not have to work too hard for the next few years.
Oh, But they're only young blokes this that.
It is enough!!
 
Galvin doesn't like failure. Maybe that's why he wants out. He had a good childhood. Full of love. May brothers need a 2nd chance. No love. Perfect fit for us right now.
 
They get bagged if they sign blokes on long contracts that are passed their best re Cleary visit - and get bagged if they try to secure their young talent before someone else does.
The fact is their is only so much talent good enough to win a premiership and good luck finding anyone who thinks this squad or any squad at this club since 2012 is even close to being good enough to do it - which means that there has to be movement in the squad. If that means moving on players that are passed their best or want out, to retain/buy players that offer growth so be it.
St George Parramatta Penrith and Roosters have all moved on quality players to manage their cap it's not unique to us. A wooden spoon squad is not going to miraculously rise to be
a contender without change.
