my point is we have a young squad and most of the comparisons are short sighted. hudson young is in career best form. at 21 he was eye gouging blokes.

So maybe Samuela should get some mongrel and start by eye gouging Galvin this weekend...

Or he could move to prop and become stronger and tougher

My theory is the more he has his hands on the ball the better... He doesn't get enough ball as an edge backrower.. move him back to the edge of he starts to show the qualities of a gun 11 or 12... Because this year he's shown nothing...

I said it before, he was playing better when we had a proper number 7 in Sezer..
 
I've been away for a week with no real internet,I saw we signed Jock Madden on twitter today.
Cup contract?

Have I missed anything else.Any rumours? I skipped 54 pages

Should I watch the game vs Panthers?

In the way that they signed up the likes of Webster-Mansfield, Laulili'i, Miller, Fa'agutu, Tumeth, Matamua, et al, to long-term, Top 30- (or at least dev- ) guaranteed positions long term. The messaging around the likes of TDS and Galvin ought to be brought into questions too as the attitudes upon their arrival on the first grade scene have been called into question a lot lately. You could even work your way into the 2nd tier list of potentials from 2/3 years ago. The other Saukurus, Dillon and those other, forgettable names, etc.

I've heard from more than one source that they were promising the world to this wave of kids and backed it up with long deals for young players who, for the most part, either won't ever make it or will be in the 1st grade setup way too early.

It has been a contributing, not sole, factor in why our squad has been so far out of whack.

That sounds very much like Rob Bechara ?
 
The only unipositive thing i said Sam and Sione they could do with a extra 5kgs on their frames as they are only forwards that run with intent purpose. I do not care if they are poly or not was not argument.

I don't have the detail but from what I pull from the Wests Tigers Faithfull boys there is talent in the pipeline. What I do see lacking though is investment into the pathways team. We need to invest into developing a system, as part of the overall system, that is almost set and forget. That is the science that underpins the pathways - the art is recruiting the right person to have those in the pathways believing that this is the best place for them to develop, at the right rate, to become a consistent FG at WT when the time is right.

Adel Hage was saying that other clubs have multiple academies. He was saying the Panthers have an academy in the West. The Bulldogs have multiple, one is in N.Z. We are really behind the 8 ball competing atm.

Best man for the job is all that matters. If you want to talk about kgs and impact direct the comments at Seyfarth. He's a lightweight

I can’t believe we’re sitting here arguing about the polynesian-to-white ratio as well.

how ridiculously pathetic and close minded.

It shouldn’t be an argument, but our ratio is the total opposite of the Bulldogs ratio and we are also at opposite ends of the ladder.

I have thought all year that San F looks lighter this season compared to last

KPP isn't a poly either.

Tons of the best forwards in the game are poly.

The poly issue I raised earlier isn't about siging them or having them in the team.

The issue is about two, talented white juniors being bullied out of the club because Luai wanted to play with his mates/other polys in the spine.

Cleary played with Luai and Api and a bunch of Polys for years and they won 4 premierships. Galvin has grub DNA and the polys might be allergic to it.

Yet Penrith the 4 time in a row champs have had no issues with a lot of their squad being of Polynesian or Maori origin. Understandable that everyone is feeling frustrated with our current form (me included) but bringing up Race & stuff like this is just completely unnecessary & imagine being of that culture & reading some of the crap that's being said. Someone yesterday basically said that Polynesian or Maori people aren't intelligent enough to be Coaches or play in influential positions like it's just beyond stupid.

Vicious obviously watches a lot of football, but he's like an academic that's never held a job. They end up over analysing everything to the point where their takes are ridiculous.

A bit like Karl Marx...never held a job, had a company or did anything other than academia. Came up with communism. That worked out well right?
