Was having a few ales yesterday with some local players in the Newcastle local rugby league comp, and they have heard that Brock Lamb has been looked at by 3 Sydney NRL teams for the 2023 season?
But they could not tell me which ones.

The panthers were one of them I heard. Not sure of any others.

Nah look at the broncos. Roster is great but something else is rotten there

Nothing like us though - our roster was not great. Coaches will always only last on the back of their results but our roster was never going to get results and would set all coaches up to fail including Sheens.There was a reason why Sheens was forced to take it on - no one of any standing wanted it.

Speaking of Redcliffe

How does Sheen’s recruiting stack up against Bennett who had a clean slate with no dregs to move on & full salary cap to work with ?

To me a lot of Redcliffe’s recruiting are potential dregs already .

They were 12 months too late in announcing the dolphins ...they had no chance with the timeframe given

Why would we sign Flanagan? That’s a downgrade even for Brooks the only 7 I’ll say Brooks is better than. If we do miss out on Moses we won’t be signing Flanagan.

Glenji you also though no way Hastings was going up the freeway to Newcastle because he bought a house at cronulla...

As many have said Brooks is a 6, so find a 7 and at a reduced price it may be something Sheens looks at who knows. If we don't get Williams or Moses then not much left.

Yet look at our current squad.

I reckon you are right, people shirked the job OR we shirked them (i.e. Flanagan, Taylor, etc.... OMG Manly how could you fail so badly in picking a coach!).

Yet if we said "Papalii, Bateman, Klemmer" we would get some takers.

End of the day, these are all names. We need to prove it on the field. Sheens, it still hurts you suing the club but I know your heart is in this. Get good results and we will be there Cheering!

Great job in recruitment by the club on paper
still with some obvious weaknesses - but regardless Sheens will be judged on wins and losses just like all before him at this club, and the same for coaches at every other club too.

what club in their right mind on the way up would go after Kyle Flanagan. he’ll be DCE’s back up half at Manly in 2024 so he can be with daddy.

hope so, just thinking if they got a cheap deal (on form he would not be worth much) they could load up on a good fb.
Hope he does sign with Manly and not us

Hastings and even Brooks are better than Flanagan. If you rate Flanagan you would be the only one that does. Signing him actually puts us backwards.
