Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

The reality is that for whatever reason, plenty of players think very highly of themselves.

That’s how the salary cap works, the weak clubs are paying elite player salaries to average players. So at the end of the day the Weststigers salary cap probably buys in quality about 40% less than the good teams…and it shows in results.

So your only hope is the pathways road, but than you get them jumping ship when it gets to hard

That’s why we need the best recruiters, to break the cycle.

There’s no good reason why the Dolphins have recruited better than we have other than we don’t have the recruitment talent to bring the JLs through on fair money.

it’s cutting our nose off despite our face and a false economy to ignore the value of the Mark Hughes of this world.

Who is an old friend of Richos and delivered south’s their 18th premiership or whatever.

Spot on, makes it so hard for teams anchored to the bottom to lift themselves up.

Ok 9 losses in a row….that sux…..but what really pisses me off? We had 50 put on against us and statically I can confirm that we will not win the GF in 2024. No team has ever done so. On the bright now have to just be patient and wait for 2025 for a chance!

As every passes

What has changed?

Why aren’t we going after De Belin. He puts in week in week out and isn’t a plodder.

Because we are dum shits

The clean out is underway we have to cop losses on the chin. Season is done only positives will be younger players getting experience and players being released. Hard headed replacements are needed.

This has been the story for over a decade though.

How do you know we are not already in talks with
DeBellin , Williston , Hunt , And so on , nothing from the club could be a good thing for a change

That’s fair

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Problem solved then?

 

[tigerbenji]

Not gonna hit the kid yet. TBH everything sounds like it’s the parents - same reason why he left & then came back, parents controlling things.

Richo making a direct comment of sitting down with him and his parents indicates it’s his parents driving this.

Spot on, sounds like the Parents telling him what to do.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Didn't yours?

Not at all surprising when we persisted with a clown CEO for 9 years which we are still paying the bill for.

 

[hsvjones]

If the club has something in the works then I cannot think of a better time to get it done and announce it..

Any good news is needed ASAP as we are getting our behinds kick in the media.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Maybe you. Im all good here.

Sometimes you have to make decisions for yourself, sometimes right or wrong without being disrespectful to your parents.

This is the pack we could have had next year if we didn’t give in to players or just move them on

KLEMMER
Api
Stehpo
Papa
Bateman
Joe

Blore
Samuel
Pole
Twal

Laui
Galvin

Staines
Olam
Turuva
Lobb

Bula

On top of that buy one good prop and a class centre and we become a top 10 team then build for a top 6 team , I hope Richo has a couple of rabbits up his sleeves

Wonder if uncle Nick is in his managers ears aswell.

Uncle Nick absolutely despises the scum gutless rat [This word has been automatically removed] that is Issac Moses so not much chance he would be in his ear

Uncle Nick is the person who talked Vlandys into letting Moses back into the game.

Nothing would be better for our club than having Galvin come out and say he wants to turn the joint around, he understands it’s a rebuild and it’ll take a couple of years but he’s committed to the cause. He knows there’s cavalry coming in Luai and some good youth to join the likes of Api and hopefully Stef and Bula. Unfortunately he’s getting advice from people who already think he’s a god.
