We have a near full roster for the year , i am not sure why all the forum users want to sign anyone and everyone.lets have faith in the people we have

If we wait until mid season we are more likely to pick up a hidden gem then , not a lot left at the moment

Finally some common sense. We have 29 spots filled. Maybe 28 (pending Musgrove), yet some are still expecting us to be active. Not possible. Obviously the strategy is to fill the last spot, if and when the right player comes along. They have till June to do so. They sign players on their terms, not supporters with itchy trigger fingers.

Agreed. I think too you will see shifts in Souths and Brisbane. 6 Months is a long time for someone to get angry and want a sea change. Wayne Bennett will rub people the wrong way, he got rid of Josh Morris at St George remember. (not saying he is a bad coach. I am saying that some people won't like his style).

I think anyone worth signing has bolted.

No real choice and things will go dead for about a month while the Christmas break kicks in. As for having faith in our current roster, not sure on that one, half of me says a fit Reynolds, a fit Liddle and Matterson will carry us over the line into the 8…and the other half says its going to be a real struggle. Anyway lets hope when Madge finally gets his chance to open the piggy bank, he gets some real good signings
 
There was a long stretch we were always linked to every single player on the market. We all complained how frustrating it was for our club to be linked to everyone regardless of how feasible it was.

Now people are unhappy that the rumour mongers aren't linking us to any and every player on the market.

Can't win.

I heard today the Alex Johnson rumour is pretty strong

As long as he ain't getting fullback money I'm not upset by it. Would be handy on the wing.

Good signing as he would give you fullback and wing coverage and between Moses M they basically cover the whole backline. Also adds speed, but is he going to false Nofo or Thomo outof the side?.

Hooray, a signing for all the complainers.

They'll find something new to complain about no doubt

After 7 years of not making the finals some level of complaining is warranted. Anyone who is satisfied with what's been dished up since 2012 is very easily pleased..

You are conflating. Leaving the recruitment to the club has nothing to do with being satisfied with the last 7 years. They have one spot left in their squad, bit late in the year to go on a spending spree. What do you suggest they do?
 
Why aren't we signing Norman..grumble grumble rant rant…when the Dragons are signing all these players including Jennings..it's enough to make your bp boil..

thats why the drag queens released mann, it would appear they signed Jennings, then. again are club has been caught sitting on the hands, must clubs have been signing but we just stick are heads in the sand.

Have you thought - just maybe - the coach and the club don't want most of the players you are calling them out on.

End of 2019 there will be a big market on players, maybe that is what they are waiting for. That will also give Mage a good chance to assess our full roster next year.

I understand what you are saying but there has to come a time when it's about this year, rather than next year.

Yeah agree with avocado on this. I'm pretty sure we've heard the rhetoric about waiting for the big market of good players available for the past 2 off seasons. Now we have to wait another year before we actually make a move on the top players that are available? Like a kid in the edge of a high platform diving board, we always seem to be too scared to take the leap for some reason.

Why do we have to wait another year? It should be painfull obvious by now that top quality talent can become available at a moment's notice, including how we scooped up Mbye last year.
