It is the blueprint for all of our 5 year plans,next year we are going to break new ground by implementing a 7 year plan guaranteed to work

Let’s get really radical and have a one year plan, yes, I know it’s outrageous and audacious but it can be done, just ask Andrew Webster !

It’s certainly an interesting article and a good read six years on, knowing what we know now.

Pascoe appears to have softened his stance on the mediocrity benchmark…

As always in these cunning plans management have the rules ONLY apply to others and not themselves

 

[BalmainJnr]

It must of been a betoota advocate story, it said Pascoe would be judged on footy results 😂😂😂😂😂

Judgement was passed on the mediocrity scale though, not the success scale.

Sezer isn’t the marquee 7 signing we were all wishing for. I’m not sure how we would attract one right now.

However, I do think he can bring some value to the club. If it’s a short deal say 1 year with 1 year club option I’d take that. We need someone that can organise this rabble. We haven’t had an organising half for a long time and are suffering from it.

We need someone who can direct us around the field, brings some leadership to what is a very young side. I’m not sure Luke would ever be able to do this but Sezer seems like he can.

I haven’t watch a lot of SL but he seems to have a pretty good passing game (often Luke would take the wrong option or throw a poor pass). We need to get more value out of players like Paps and I think maybe Sezer can unlock players better with his passing.

He also looks to have a good kicking game short and long. He doesn’t have the running game of Luke but right now the team needs to be organised more than having a strong runner. Unlock others in the team is the goal.

He isn’t going to have an incredible highlights package but I feel he could bring some structure which we are desperate for.

Brooks is better than Seizer

….. but Seizer is better for Wests Tigers

Sezer is far far superior to Brooks… and has played finals footy …

Me too

Sezer is far far superior to Brooks… and has played finals footy …

He played finals footy in 2019 which will be 5 years prior by 2024.
In that 5 years Sezer has suffered injuries and got much older, meaning one of his strengths which was his speed off the mark has now diminished.
Based on what I’ve seen and heard he is now too fragile to take the ball to the line, so won’t help us in that respect either.
At this stage of his career he’s about on par with Will Smith and we have seen how that worked out,

If our halfback next year can:
Find touch on penalty kicks 99% of the time
Run 3 steps forward before passing
Yell at people
Speak
Outrun Wakeham

Then it is a huge upgrade and they will be our best 7 since 2011. Bula and an exciting (albeit "potential") running 6 will mean we don't have worst spine anymore. Still need minimum 3 outside backs.

Brilliant…👆this is so effing accurate.. exactly right..

How low can’t we go with crap 💩 signings like this , does any bubby at the club know how to recruit at all

You guys are really off your head.. did you watch the game the other night? We had the prop , Klemmer and second rower Bateman having to run in and do the work of the halfback just to get some ball movement happening… Wakeham stands back as if he is the messiah capable of pulling off a miracle on the 5th play… if the ball is thrown at him he refuses to take even a couple of steps forward to put the defence in any doubt at all that he may attack the line and he always does the Moses Mbye .. the crab sideways and look to anyone that’s flat footed to throw the ball AT.. we need a half that can direct the play around.. that can have these big mobile forwards running off him and into space and that can get some momentum and a quick play the ball in good ball area so we can play some attacking football against a retreating and stressed defensive line.. Sezer can do that, Hastings had it going a couple of times last year and we looked 1000% better.. Brooks has never been able to work it out , never. No matter who was beside him .. Sezer and hopefully Fainu can do all of this ,,

So has Brooks got older since 2019 and with even less success than Sezer.. also you people that try to blast will smith must not actually watch the game.. he looks 100 times sharper than any othe half we have had this year.. he actually puts the ball in front of the recipient so he can run onto it.. he runs the correct shape , and fast .. smith can really play footy and I’d love for him to be the 14 when we have a strong team playing…

 

[Demps]

DCE is 34, still carving up

Sezar is 32, been in a lesser comp for a few years.

He looks in good shape too.

Let's keep looking for issues 🙂

You are right in what you say we need our halfback to do.
I have big doubts Sezer will do it.
Five years back he played this role well, but he’s now older, slower and injury prone.

 

[softlaw]

hate to say it and hope i'm completely wrong, but i see Sezer as Matty Head 2.0 for us

 

[Red Rugby]

The problem is we're 10 years into a 3 year plan.

 

[Tiger_Yoshi]

Perhaps we are singing Sezer to be the backup half?

Fair enough.. I suppose we will soon find out, I hope he shines.. I live on Gold Coast and saw Sezer at the ground a few times. He is a good player and has a reliable short kicking game, he could 🤞 be just what this team needs in a 7..

 

[hank37w]

Well said, competent imo is a perfect description of Sezer. Just wish he could kick goals.
I will add that I think Croft falls into the same category and having them both would give us some stability in the halves.

I thought he could kick goals and had a pretty good success rate.

I wasn’t aware of that - well that’s a plus.
