looks like click bait garbage unfortunately.

At the right price, Fafita would be a good recruit

So true mate the team has improved a lot this season I don't know what they are watching.
So much disruption in the halves didn't help us at all but they adjusted well considering.

The last thing to fix is the attack during the summer and the team should be humming next season.
Fingers crossed for the finishing touches on the roster.

True but I think we need an experienced assistant to help us get the small things right

We tend to lose the grind too often and have lost many games with small margins

We need to be winning those games and executing the things the good teams get right

Whilst the our performances reflect improvement, the ladder doesn’t

We are 2-3 years off being competitive IMO

We have what it takes in terms of game breaking quality players who can pull off something out of nothing, however, we need AD to find consistency and we also need a James Graham style prop forward

A rehash of assistant staff wouldn't hurt if Richo thinks we need one.

The teams form trajectory this season looks to be on the up, you never know another good off season might surprise, wouldn't be the first time a NRL team has improved out of its skin one season to the next.

Mason, Hunt and Murray only played 40 mins between them yesterday for a combined 63 metres … Sukkar was better at 32 mins ,,..but they need more impact off the bench …

And this is a big part of why we lost. We had workhorses trying hard but lacking energy and impact. We should have players going all out and then getting a rest, rather then trying to play the whole game at 69% capacity.
It was possibly our worst ever bench. Benji is horrible at managing the Matchday squad.

The real question is why the dumb past administration did not Alex Conti??

Please it is not because of Galvin either.

He left because we prioritised Galvin and didn't see a pathway

there’s no one else left to pick

We need a tree or two to fall.

Be careful there - listed as malware site.

There are only a few good ones around which is why we went after Reynolds.

Cleary, Moses, Fogarty, Burton are the best general players kickers and it’s a massive gap to the next best IMO.

Benji has to find out a way to get the best parts of AD and Latu’s games and make it work at 13 and 7. If he can do that we won’t need anyone else.

The thing is, we currently only have one halfback contracted for next year across our top 3 grades!!! And that's Madden.

We have a crap load of 5/8s in all grades. But no one who can organise, kick in general play.

Luai, Latu, Douiehi, Andrews, Liles, Matai are all 5/8s. Our junior rep squads this year also had no decent halfbacks in them.

If we could get Conti back that would be a start. We need to value these skills more, it's often the difference between winning and losing

Who else could he pick on the bench different?

Taateo could have got a run for starters.

he’s top 30 for raiders next year, what’s the point if he’s not in our plans. might as well develop the blokes we’ve got

Ricky was young enough to re-invent himself, Arthur hmm on the fence with him.

Desi is a dinosaur you cannot teach new tricks, throw a ball and a T-Rex isn't smart enough to retrieve it, instinct would be to chase it down and chow down on it.

Any way the club has gone all in on Benji so their patience will be tolerated a lot longer than previous coaches.

Have you seen the tiny arms on a T-Rex? Wouldn’t even be able to catch a ball 😂

Yes, well spotted you know your dinosaurs 😁.

I think he’d be a waste of money actually Spartan. He’s done nothing for the Titans and is extremely lazy. Why would he be any different here?

Haha yes I do. Just watched Jurassic World Rebirth last night too!

Same as Tevita Pangai...just bone lazy,and had some of the best coaches in the world who still cant motivate them
They can go box each other..

Winning is pretty kool. 🤷‍♂️

Yep he’d be good at the right price.
Problem is he’s probably never had a contract at the right price, and I can’t seem him coming here for a contract total that we’d consider reasonable, but you’d have a crack.
