Jaelen Feeney from the Knights is on the Radar as the Knights have shown no interest in re-signing him owing to all the new players arriving in Connor Watson etc, a work in progress?.
The Bus is FULL

I thought they were showing minimal interest because he is crap and has failed to show he is up to first grade despite multiple opportunities.
He is not even a depth player, JLJ and Justin Hunt are probably both a step up from him

We are talking bus full. I think that we have a few untried players in reggies that need to be given a crack. Heleta tatolo, lolo, sironen, marshall-king, and there may be more. Not a winning side, the reggies but from what i have seen this year, have never been able to put a steady side on the field. THANKYOU Jason Taylor. To think i had the world of good thoughts about his appointment. I did see his old mans dreary look very soon soon after his appointment. I knew we got the wrong coach. Magpie or not. Players mentioned have been in the system for awhile now and need a crack or be told they will forever be WT reggies. Need to be fair.

Jason Taylor, yes to :deadhorse: I thought would be a lot better. We knew in taking him that there would be player/coach troubles, that is what happened at Souths.
he also:
* Forgot the preseason training. Which killed this season.
Had two halves in Brooks and Moses, who could not play together. He never seemed to say "I back Brooks" or "I back Moses" and get a playing combo.
Did not fix Defense. Cleary has done great work to get us closer to NRL average.
Taught NO ONE how to kick. JT, a record point scorer and former NRL kicker could not get anyone consistently above 60%. This should have been a WIN in his selection.
Then as expected, played games with our halves. So he fired Robbie for being a halfback. He should have shaped Robbie into another position, I am thinking a lock or similar transformation to Chris Lawrence. Yes I get it Robbie was a 900K paperweight from backended seasons long gone, this wasn't his worst decision but tore our team apart.
Overall it was JT's myway or the highway. The one thing I appreciate most about Des Haslier (Bellamy does this too) is he coaches to the player and the team. He adapts. JT, simply said "were going to play like Easts".
I thought this guy would make us. Instead he stuffed us and our 2017\. I was 100% wrong in believing in him.

I am beginning to think how some followers think now. Gareth Ellis who has notched up an amazing 450 games so will deservedly retire but has to cop this rubbish:

vexed off,purely **<big>selfish</big>** reasons,think he could of done another year,was awesome last week at Saints and if he plays until the end of the season,wouldn't back against us doing the double.
When saying selfish people should look in the mirror and check out who is actually selfish. It was selfish to want to palm Farah off when it wanted to escape paying him for back-ending especially as he was still playing solidly. I will make this my last comment in this thread on this topic.
colmcd - you need to forget it - we have run the JT story to the END.
We all know the story, don't need it repeated over and over.
Byron Bay Fan and you need to get over RF - same as above.
Maybe you could make it the comment on any thread about him instead of this.
Let's all stay on the bus - we appear to have great times ahead, let's talk about them.

Russell, I did appreciate colmcd's perspective as he stated it like it had not been stated previously, how Jason's football career may have influenced his coaching for the worse. On the Silvertail's site they described our Aaron as a fat fart - at least that fat fart did them over so maybe he can squeeze onto the bus.
So now that we have retained a few more of the current roster it is looking like we are close to a "Full Bus" but perhaps still a couple of spots left. I think this is what the 30 man squad looks like so far - please post any player who you think I have left out.
1\. Lolohea
2\. Nofoaluma
3\. Suli
4\. Milne
5\. Fonua
6\. Reynolds
7\. Brooks
8\. Matulino
9\. Liddle
10\. Packer
11\. Taylor
12\. Aloiai
13\. Eisenhuth
14\. Marsters
15\. Twal
16\. Sue
17\. McQueen
18\. Lawrence
19\. Watene-Zelezniak
20\. Naiqama
21\. Marshall
22\. Thompson
23\. Felise
24\. McIlwrick
25\. Grant
26\. MCK
As well there is Heleta, Marshall-King, Gamble and Tatola - not sure if any of these would be in the full-time top 30 squad.
I see a few spots still left (unless I forgot someone) - here's hoping we have a bit of money left and we can pick up a big, speedy winger/centre, perhaps another fullback and a quality backrower. A good goal kicker wouldn't hurt either.

Pretty much the whole bulldogs side is.
No more off cuts. Please.
If this squad even makes the Semis - They should make a movie.

Updating my earlier post I had 26 in my previous list. Now with Robbie Rochow confirmed that makes 27\. In their Q&A Pascoe said there were 2 positions left, hence we must have 28 so maybe one of Heleta, Gamble or Tatola is included in the 30 man squad (Marshall-King is apparently not signed).
So 2 spots left and we are waiting to see how things pan out in the off season. It would be interesting to hear Ivan's view on what positions he believes we should be looking to fill for those 2 spots.
