The Big Picture

[matchball]

There is one big picture. It's called winning. We all have it.

I don't get the seemingly equal treatment of Tedecso and Woods here. Tedesco is a superstar in my view and he should be kept as the top priority. Woods can go elsewhere; he is replaceable.

Honestly on the performance of Woods today and this season he is lucky to be rated the best prop that we have. I know he gets metres but he never dents the line and his defence is pretty ordinary.

After recovering from the wholesale betrayal and greed I simply didn't expect,Im actually quite positive for the future and convinced we weren't chasing the character required for one club men in the first place.Am reserving my rights on Tedesco,but have seen enough of the others behaviour and here I am
Brooks-was never going to work with Moses at NRL level,and suspect he'll grow dramatically under Cleary who did a pretty decent job on his son…who doesn't have as much talent IMO.
Woods-has one foot out the door..maybe both.Very disappointed in his leadership on and off the field,and frankly a fit Matalino offers almost everything Woods offers(including size)...plus a bit of aggro..plus a lot more substance...at about half Woods price.Theres a reason why Bellamy doesn't pay top $$$ to props...Woods is perhaps the biggest disappointment of all.
Tedesco-hard act to follow no doubt.Personally I like Dugan,but failing that I think Nofu is ready for the number one jersey under the tutelage of one of the best,and may well be dynamite at no 1
Moses-only turns up for half a dozen games annually,and is a total speed hump in the others,and is instrumental in some of those big losses weve had plus the form volaitility.We have plenty of $$ to throw around,and if somehow we cld snare Foran .....and if not Widdup...both wld provide more consistency.Regardless,were better off without this self absorbed show pony,who will be looking for another new club in 2 yrs u can bet.Benji without the talent....
And after all that,we still have $$ to spend..lots of it...and maybe get a team that's got some pride & commitment to the club and each other,and move forward
Yep,disappointing that the guys weve invested in for a decade to lead this club for another decade haven't shown a shred of loyalty or in some cases decency,but...

Well there is the possibility that Moses, Tedesco and Woods all leave and we don't sign anyone that we make offers to. We will then be in the same boat as Newcastle - plenty of money to spend but no-one willing to take it.

The only positive is that the cap may not be as high as some teams hope it is and have to let players go. A battle between Knights and us looms!!!!!!!

And it's a realistic chance of happening. In the unfortunate scenario that Woods and Tedesco leave we might miss out on nabbing a top liner for next year. And we don't have much to choose from in the lower grades.
