According to some on here, Brooks is our best. If we didnt use "our best" for fear he'd be injured, Id want those decision makers sacked immediately before they cause anymore harm.

Is that fact or is that you speculating?

But you wrote that so please answer my question.

its a stupid question that has been answered. Go away.

 

[gallagher]

At least Roberts retired.

It's a pertinent question that you won't answer.

Keary will be medically retired and end up with a plum job at the club.

Is that fact or just an opinion ?

 

[earl]

I had a thought like this as well.
I think it's a big reason Noffa was sent to the Storm as well.
Out of Sydney & remove the pressure off him
Both have copped it and there is no way it couldn't be taking a toll on them mentally.

I was thinking it highlights how these guys aren't the problem. If they were the problem then we would have performed a lot better than we did.

It's your opinion looking ahead to next year is an opinion too.

If we playing for the finals and not being last or second last I'm sure he would of played

they are looking ahead to 2024. given up on next year already

 

[pawsandclaws1]

Koula is a very quick and good centre/fullback and one of the 7.

Watching Doueihi yesterday, the centre and winger hardly ever see the ball as he nearly always runs himself.

AD played rubbish at a time he should have taken the lead. I have a very low opinion of him as a 5/8. Doesn't pass, cant set up a centre of second rower outside him (or rarely does). Plusses are that he has a great bomb (but cant repeat it every time) and can throw a pass (that cuts out the centres and second rowers) to the winger. iPap better not be on his side next year.

He's the only one in the spine that you could call a leader recently and he does stuff all. He winged about playing reggies if he didn't play 5/8... he got his chance.

Our focus needs to be on getting some bookends that can make some post contact meters.
Lodge, Frizell and Klemmer maybe. TPJ could be forced out of the Bulldogs??

 

[Camel2281]

Have we signed anyone yet?

 

[tigger19]

Yes to frizell and Klemmer

yeah exactly. a big prop that gets 100m plus every time. As Brandy and Gould calls them a 1st prop... but we need 2 of them. (Klemmer/Thompson/Ftiz fit the bill). TPJ is a solid no unless he's on $400K or less

A fit Stefano, with Joffa, and Twal (plus the 2, even 1, is a handy rotation). Backrowers of Blore/iPap and talau are far superior than what we had at the back end of this year. Hastings at 13 of course.

Zane "I cant tackle" Musgrove can play reggies all year

 

[tigger19]

Frizell /2ndrow lock 700k 3yrs
Klemmer/ fwd 750k 3 years
Talakai/ 2ndrow centre 600k 3 years
Leniu / fwd 450k 3 years
Sorenson 2ndrow 350k 2 years
B Hunt / seven 900-950k 3 years
Murchie 2ndrow 350-400k 2 years

I hope the club are looking at some of these players, prices are abit of a guess and most players would be for 2024 except Klemmer who might be released, Frizell who has a club option for next year, and Leniu possibly early release from cap pressure

Then let's grab him too. I haven't watched too many games this year, the tiges have put me off footy. I've only watched a couple of the blockbusters.

 

[batboy]

I know, what might solve the problem, can we play out of lidcombe oval.

Enough spoons have been won out of there already haven't they?

None of those you mentioned are metre eaters. According to statst this year the best post contact metres for forwards are:
Joseph Tapine
Payne Haas
Tino Fa'asuamaleau
Paul Vaughan
Regan Campbell-Gillard
Addin Fonua-Blake
Jason Taumalolo
I've been begging for us to sign Joseph Tapine for 2 seasons and now you know why.
Klem is still ok just out of this list.
Surprisingly Joffa is not far from getting a mention but I'd prefer a bigger bookend to play prop and so does Joffa.

 

[PJ2]

I hate Jason Taylor.
It all started there.
Hope our paths cross
