I have to agree , Benjoy and his team would already know who is going I would think and Richo is probably chasing players now , I feel out of our first grade and reserve grade teams combined maybe 6/8 players will depart, our Reseve grade are poor except maybe 3 or 4 players , and first grade needs a few gone as well
Much Easier to show your talents & play well in a good system where staff undestand what you have to offer, know your strenghts and weaknesses and play you corrrectly, better players around you makes things easier and you all just click most of the time
Neither would have played with their team at full strength. That's the problem, we need more than 5 games as a fill in. It's top end talent we lack.
How poor is our squad
I thought those two went OK.

Johnson, 33, is currently on a one-year contract with the Warriors, but is negotiating his future with the Auckland club. Fox Sports reports he will stay at Mt Smart for A$700,000 (NZ$765,000).

The veteran insists he wants to stay in Auckland with his family.
Wonder who they'll target next??

Understand that but also just an observation about the harsh criticism they received on here by fans who expect that young players are going to be consistent performers in FG and then write them off because they miss a few tackles and or drop a few balls. Most couldn't wait to see the back of Tommy T. and Jock was considered no great loss. We have run out of patience for good reason but the expectation placed on our young players is way off and other clubs continue to prove it.
Problem is everyone seems to go to a new level once they leave this footballers graveyard, talau,s form here definitely didn't warrant retaining
Not all of them but those two in particular copped plenty of harsh criticism. One off season for Talau over 254 metres last night . Young players are inconsistent in even the best clubs but we seem to be quick to write them off - none more so than the fans. If we are backing on our juniors to get us out of the doldrums we better develop some additional patience as fans while they work out how best to develop them.
I thought that we had it covered now that Benji is Head coach.
That’s where our outside backs are getting their defensive coaching from is it?
We need results now it’s been so long and therefore our patience isn’t always what it needs to be. But I thought jock was rough. You identify what you reckon is the next 7, you invest in his development and when he finishes his apprenticeship you sack him after a few months bcoz he can’t run a multi million dollar build? No. You give the kid support, and some time as a tradesman, and then you will reap the rewards and the other thing Jock was never a lazy bludger, Tom Talau enters the convo.
