Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Yes but imagine the hope & positivity it would immediately instil in the fan base. I would be more confident that Samuela would extend as they had a really good relationship apparently. It could be a Mielekamp & Barry O masterstroke if true.

If it’s the Wests Tigers I would rejoice .. if it’s not us I may need to call a mental health lifeline immediately!! 🤣

Luai was the litmus test. The canary in the coal mine. If he had come here. lead us to finals, and stayed the 5 years, it would have been a watershed moment for this club. Instead, he comes here, plays like a busted arse, quits not even halfway through and ha seen the club stumble from drama to drama. What incentive do players like a Cleary have to ever come here? Doesn’t matter how much money we throw at them, it’s just not worth it. The only way forward is to focus on the juniors, keep the best ones, and start making the 8 regularly. That’s the only way the great players will ever consider us again.

Spot on.

Couldn’t see him doing it but possible Richo has offered to return in a Head Of Football role given his relationship with Benji & Shaun.

Only way I imagine it would be Richo can see the pressure that certain interests are putting on Benji and he believes he can come in and support him and finish the job he started .. it it would take a special person to do that but one thing he has proved is that he is a special type of Rugby League administrator

My wish list for next year with the current available players on the market
6 Jamie Humphrey's
7 Daly Cherry Evans
Murray Taulagi
Ray Stone
Jake Turpin
Toby Rudolph

These players in the mix would strengthen our side immensely.

Unfortunately the circus being Wests Tigers none of the above would want to come here

This is SM’s big test.

Richo signed a group of accomplished NRL players and started to shift the perception of the club.

Can that trend be maintained?

I am stunned some of you think Richo is coming back. Seriously what is wrong with you people. He couldn’t wait to get out.

He left at the first opportunity. What incentive does he to come back? Where in a worse place than we were when he got here the first time. I’m sure he’d love starting all over again, even further behind the 8 ball.

He got white anted and had smears and baseless accusations thrown at him by the faceless frauds at HBG .. and nobody is saying that he will come here for free.. I don’t think it likely but my god would it be beneficial

Richo to eels is my tip , mid season revue , another crap season , struggle to sign players ,

Be interesting reunion between he and Luai , they sign our players easy enough , I like their roster and their coach has them firing .. Jesus compared to us they are on fire

100% correct

100% correct

You got any news mate?

 

[jirskyr]

It might be what it takes to expose the lies and culture that has infiltrated the club.

Please please please, please be more cryptic.

Yes there is that view but he could see this as an opportunity to complete unfinished business & be a kind of FU to HBG at the same time.

Would be a dream to get him in as "director of football". Though not while our board isnt independant. Im devestated we are back to 2002 again. No hope in sight. Journos are saying Douehi is just the start, there are other players coming out of the woodwork in the next few weeks.

We will sign some semi overweight, short, slow, mentally fragile lower grader instead

Whatever happened to the two lodged contracts that we were to find out about tomorrow, 3 or 4 weeks ago.

Damn ......we thought we had him

The best revenge for Richo will be turning our biggest rivals into premierships winners. If he takes over eels, it will be just a matter of time.

Not sure our owners would see it as revenge, doubt they really care all that much about the club.

The people who would suffer the most would, yet again, be the fans.
