Yep letting Prince leave was a big letdown but whispers were he was on big $$’s AND given a house on the Gold Coast. No way we could keep him.

I’d rather sort the coach out

That's what everyone said about the Dogs.

Api is a decent hooker, Klemmer does a job, Fainu is a rising star, Seyfarth gives 100% so you're writing off the other two without hardly seeing them?

Also his misses insisted on going back to QLD. Can't fight that

We were never going to be able to compete with their offer and his wife wanting to go home. The problem was Shonky bought Johnny Cronk to replace him, a good player, but not a halfback

Klemmer is rinsed, and Seyfarth on his best day is an honest toiler. Fainu and Api are the only positives, and they need a lot of help.

That won’t happen anytime soon.
Benji said before spoon bowl he’s committed to his program, he thinks it’s right and will build a better club.
He and others in the club, talk about the improvements in the club even if they aren’t seen in the results.
That was a difficulty I had with the actual spoon bowl result. The extent of the flogging was inconsistent with the reliance on the grand development plan with Benji holding the pencil.
I guess my other point, made earlier, is that any majestic plans to bring players along have taken a back seat to groping around trying to pull up a catch when we get a nibble.
The JAC news is interesting because I think like others, we have got the backline into some kind of miserable order, about the best halves in the game ( or on their way) but there’s a lot of fog and mist swirling around the pack.
At this stage, it’s pretty awful and barely competitive.
The sad Kobe news added to that concern.
And Benji needs help. As I think you infer.

The very good sides have very fast moving defensive lines. Our present pack bar one or two don’t have the speed in their legs to move up at speed

Theory time, could we be doing a bit of quid pro quo with manager Mario Tartak?
We take on JAC as our left wing for 2 years (take on his final year at Dogs + 1 more) to partner Olam on the left side. Then this transitions in theory to a left side pairing of Makasini & Luke Laulilii in ‘27, both Tartak clients.
In return Tartak agrees to find a new home for Bud Sullivan without putting up any resistance.
I think I’d be ok with that result!

And the other two?
The thought of player managers having that degree of power at clubs is terrible,i know it is a fact of life but i certainly don't like it at all
I don't hate it.

I was just responding to the names you mentioned. Look, if you think that that pack isn’t a bottom 4 pack at best, then idk what to tell you
Forgot HUNT
They're always on the back foot as the attack easily gets over the advantage line
If we can start to attack with our D fatigue will be less an issue... That's not to say we can't or don't need to improve our fitness as it too is severely lacking
