Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Euan Aitken is absolutely trash. He's too slow for the backs, too small and weak for the back row. He also has no ball skills and weak defensively

Yet each time he plays against us, he has a field day.
Like DCE and a couple others who screw us without fail.

I don't think that the results in the junior grades this year are a good indicator of the quality of individuals. The injuries and instability in first grade has huge flow on effects down the grades. If they are in and out every week they can't build combinations which particularly shows up in defence, particularly in the KOE where defence is always secondary anyway. We also have multiple teams in some of the lower grades so the talent may be spread among the Balmain and Wests sides. There are a lot of kids in a lot of teams. If Sheens says there are stars among them I'm inclined to believe him. I do however agree that we need to be a lot better at figuring out which ones will make it and which won't. I feel John Morris coming in will help a lot with this, he had a lot to do with it at the Sharks by all accounts.

Well..u simply cant ignore the ingloriuos results.....Injuries and stuff are the same for every team.
.If theres a stand out amongst all that,then lets move him forward..and weve probaly done that with one or two who btw hve never played against grown men and been fully tested.
As for Sheens judgement...think is is full of it tbh in the current era,although did get Bula right.
Cant believe with such a huge nursery of juniors we have so few coming thru vs Panthers

The data has variations in jerseys lowing win rates believe it or not. Newcastle 1-9 in their high vis

In the late 80s, Magpies were wearing a white guernsey to help them cope with the heat. The team approached the club to change back to black, saying white made them feel "soft".

Not defending Sheens' efforts this season, but I suspect we would have seen plenty of blooding next year if he stayed.

I don't think we are that far off if our halves recruits come good and we get luck with injuries and players find form. A lot has to go right for us to improve but it's possible.

Definitley possible look at what the Knights and Warriors have done this season.

Unlike blood brothers.

I just hope they clean out of this year's roster 3 types that are using up our numbers
- a few who just don't have a footy brain
- a few that week after week lack effort and just stand there like turnstiles in the defensive line
- a few others that have been plodding around in cup for so long that you just know they are not up to Nrl level
We need to clean house and rebuild with some more aggressive recruiting
I'm willing to give Benji a bit of time to construct this finals bound roster and think John Morris is a big plus going forward

You will have your answer in 10 months or less. Sleep easy.

Two little things to think about.

Is this Change of jerseys going to be more black & white & less orange.

Also Fulton seems to have recruted more players for Manly than players for us.

The ones going to Manly aren't exactly players we're desperate to keep.

Furner gone per the DT.

Galvin is set to graduate this year and already has a contract in the NRL next year with the Wests Tigers.

“I’m very excited to go fulltime with the Tigers next year,” he said.

“I’ll just keep going on my footy journey and see where it takes me.”

If Furner was part of our defence and forwards he did well , our attack was shot , but We didn’t have the players in attack to finish what the forwards layed down , Furner for me was good

I thought he said Fulton. I was thinking we sign him, get the Fainu's and then sack him. Brilliance.
