Effectively we are playing with an NRL squad of 24 not 30. We have 3 empty spots and 3 in Matamua, Tumeth and Sakuru who aren't being selected at NRL level given they can't make NSW cup.

With Naden, Staines injured and last week Douehi and Skelton as well we were effectively playing with a NRL squad of 20 to pick from

Were continuing to clean house - how good.

Hope Tumeth is studying. How that guy ever got paid to play is beyond me!

Top 8 is always the goal
Got a feeling our retention and recruitment (former to placate Benji)will burn us for a bit longer
I have no idea why we rid ourselves from proven internationals without having a back up plan
Not the way it works

You keep banging on about this. Go watch how bad Bateman is playing for the Cows. He's trash and we did the right thing dumping him regardless of having a replacement

Hmmm...bangiing on...again
Bateman is burnt out..will be barely missed...and has an attitude problem as a consequence of his own frustration re his demise.Hes not my main issue here,
.Papali and Klemmer and Stefano were ALL underperforming at WTS undoubtedly
But punting them ALL at pretty much the same time between seasons without adequate replacements is not particularly smart..and its gonna come back at us.3 of them were contracted this year.
So our roster is now down to 27 (incl Olams departure)..weve got a truckload of $$ to spend...and about 8 of those 27 contracted this year should/will never play 1st grade on their merits.Ever..
Not sure why we had to put ourselves in this position

Anything that brings more accountability to the admin, apparently there are 2 ref's stood down this weekend, iv got a sneaky suspicion the gem we got will be one of them, as well as the touch judge that couldn't see the players foot over the touchline in another game.

Yes, Reece Walsh ball tap in.

Had completely forgotten about that blooper.
 
What's the go with Staines? Not mentioned as injured?

Same as Klemmer maybe finalizing a deal elsewhere?

Anyone got anything?

Hasn't.

For a very long time.
Market is quite bare as well.
Perhaps we look to UK?

How good was that Leka kid from NZ though !?

Well Richo went over to the UK and came back empty handed , but the knights and the raiders found two very good backrowers, which Richo couldn’t fine

I just wish the club would at lease come out and say NO we are not interested or we are still trying to get a deal done , if we sign him it’s another spot strengthed, and we will not need to move BIRD from been a forward , it’s a win all round .
IT has just went on to long without any info

Then when the deal falls through, all hell breaks loose and the fans give the club shit for it....

What deal it’s been bloody weeks , we have two backs out and our replacements are poor , we have a high class centre, who’s brother wants him to play with us , yet no word from the club , all I and must fans want to know is it still on the cards or is it not happening.
Just remember this is not a hidden signing that the club wants to keep quiet, it is been out there long before his court case , so are we going to wait for round 20 , the kid needs game time NOW not in 15 weeks
