Gotta give ciraldo some credit he has left him in the side to try and improve.no doubt he has told him what he needs and if not he will Change it around and I guess ciraldo will eventually use taafe at half back.

Franklin pele

Taafe to halfback and Tracey to fullback.problem Solved.

Oh and beating south’s would have been just as good.

Asked for a release when has been signed hodgkinson and Keating.

Salmon needed to run on the outside of the defender not the inside.surely they practice this at training.dumb play.

Give him time bro it’s only round 4. He will get better.

Agree el Masri!!

King has already re-signed bro

I’ve hated the sports bet half time ads.whats it teaching kids? The NRL are hypocrites! They banned tobacco sponsorship over 30 years ago .Gambling is just as addictive as drinking alcohol and ruins thousands of lives. The sooner the NRL ban gambling ads and sponsorship the better!

Been going on for ages.

2012 we should have won it.2014 we were never a chance.souths were too big too strong.

Another Barrett dud buy!

Ciraldo needs to make a very hard call and it should have been done last year.burton needs to go to Canterbury cup and find his mojo. Club first Team second Individual third Burton needs to understand if he is not a talker then 5/8 isn’t his position.centre is

The players that were available weren’t interested in coming to us. Most of them wanted to stay at there clubs.the days of us playing overs for players to come and milk money from us and not give a shit like Pangai are over.

The game we played south’s last year and they had 8 players out,he tore us apart and they nearly won that game.he is elusive and quick.

Oh yeah des got that one wrong.like a lot of his decisions with players.ruined our great club.

Never understood why we re signed him.he is one of the worst defenders I’ve ever seen.

Can’t compare us and the broncos.they had juniors coming through that just weren’t ready.we all new the broncos weren't going to be down the bottom for long.

Bennett is the only coach who can get anything out of him.ricky Stuart told him when he left Canberra that he would never make it cause he was too lazy and he was right.

he will play for the dolphins.

Yeah you didn’t want to be on the end of a Gillespie tackle,Peter Kelly was a tough bastard too.folksy was a good defender along with Billy Johnson not the biggest players but tough as.

Remember the game in the 80s when cement folded sterlo in a bone rattler!

Perham will not be fullback! Chrighton will Get first shot.

Not a chance bro.are backs are strong we will surprise a few teams next year.

That game against Melbourne when they didn’t have cleary and they turned it around after melb were all over them was when he stood out for me.

I think we will surprise a lot of teams in 24. I think the game is changing so quick that big prop days are numbered.lets be real.the game Is turning into touch footy now. I rennet wests tigers in 05 they didn’t have a big forward pack.they were just very mobile. If ciraldo can get our defence...

Klemmer wasn’t Even playing the best footy with us.his best footy was when he had some mongrel in him and would But the line hard.i can’t see any benefit in buying a player who is passed his best.

Definately headed in the right direction.Phil Gould is the man to fix our club.its not going to happen overnight we just need to be patient. I think we will see improvement in 2024. Our injury run in 2023 was terrible.we just had no depth.but was good to be able to blood some juniors give them a...

Darren smith,Willie talau

The club or des?

Another Trent Barrett dud signing.came for the money.didn’t give a shit about the club.

His body was busted bro.

Raiders junior.Ricky Stuart told him he would never make it as he was too lazy!

James graham easily.awesome captain and leader.

Use to bump into him at the local Iga in abbotsbury when I lived there a few years ago.champion bloke would always say hello.use to tell the owner of the Iga back then not to charge him.cause he was a legend the owner would laugh.

Ben Robert’s? Are you serious?

We have to trust the process.Gus won’t come out and say it but we were in worst shape than the panthers when he arrived there years ago. Don’t forget people bagged him for moving on players that had been there a while taking up a lot of there salary cap. A lot of players came to us for the...

James Graham was one of the best forwards and captains to ever wear the blue and white.how I wish we could find another leader like him.

Every player that Barrett signed has been a dud.the worse was TPJ,he came for the money,he didn’t give a rats arse about the jersey.Ricky Stuart told him at 18 years of age he wouldn’t make it.was too lazy.There was a reason why the broncos let him go.

With a high price tag comes expectation.he isn’t at Penrith surrounded by players that can cover him.he needs an attitude adjustment. Defence has always been about attitude and our attitude is fucked at the moment. and it’s the higher paid players that are missing most tackles

Never rated RFM one of the laziest defenders I have seen.has been for a long time.never understood why we resigned. And then to make him captain

That’s how bad our depth is.

DWZ was on 850k no way

Bro we have used 32 players this year. No way you can be consistent and build combinations.

I’ve been following since 70s as well. Never seen us as bad as how we have been since 2017.I’ll be honest I haven’t been to a game since 2015.reason why is I could see Hasler was struggling.the game was changing but he wasn’t changing the way we played.He was doing everything he could to win a...

He should have been dropped ages ago to work on his defence.his been terrible all year.and has struggled at 5/8 it’s not him

Burton should have been dropped ages ago.his defence is woeful.he is a centre!

they are.we are terrible.our big names underperforming,burton has proven that he is a centre not a 5/8.

Burton needs to have the maturity to say hey I’m not delivering at 5/8 th.I’ll do what’s best for the team if that means moving to centre. He doesn’t organise and you barely see him talking.I think Joey is right unless he has a gun half back he can’t lead the team around.

He came to us for the money.he never showed any passion for the jersey.Tony Williams mk 11

Bro nearly every player Barrett signed has been a flop! tpj,Thompson,Flanagan,Waddell,dufty,naden, Burton is over rated.he is a centre.

NRL fucked it big time.Have taken defence out of games.the worst rule ever has been the six again.who wants to watch teams get flogged.look at the blow out scores this weekend.dogs,parra,Canberra,I hardly watch a game any more.too many inconsistencies in refereeing.

Need to get rid of him.he is useless

RFM is the laziest defender I’ve ever seen bro.I was hoping last time we wouldn’t re- sign him. As far as averillo goes we have a salary cap. His been offered more then take it.look at how many Penrith juniors have moved on when offered more coin elsewhere.

Only by des hasbeen.can’t believed he paid him 750k when we resigned him in 2015.

RFM has been average for years.very lazy defender.don’t know why we resigned him.never rated him.

Only coach that will get the best out of him is Bennett.

RFM has been average for years.

Oh that’s right.we just held on.

Like when was the last time we won at belmore? That long ago I can’t even remember.

Averillo isn’t a natural fullback,yeah he goes ok there.last year he was rocks and diamonds at the back. Dolphins most likely through big money at him and he took it.not just the money but to be coached by one of the best.

Fingers crossed.we need our spine sorted.he delivered on Saturday.

Should get six weeks the dirty bastard.

Bro injuries have crippled our attack and defence.what do you want him to do? New player comes into the squad it’s not easy, and to expect them To click with our attack… we have used 31 players!! And we have a rookie squad as well.

Skelton looks the goods.elusive,hard to tackle,let’s hope he can keep improving and is on the bench next year.we need some more players with X factor who can create something out of nothing.

Pangai is a myth bro. He has under delivered big time with us.only coach that will get the best out of him is Bennett.

I’d be happy with it.strong finish to the year after all the injuries. As long as we finish better than last year it’s a pass for me.

I’d take him and let tpj go.tino plays hard doesn’t take a step back wards.has some mongrel about him. We need some aggression up front.

Other players coming through bro and we have a salary cap.he may have been offered double then what he is on.we can’t keep them all.

What a load of rubbish.I never expected us to play finals footy.let’s be honest now.what i did expect was an improvement on last year.so hovering around 10th spot.injuries have been cruel this year.Kikau was a major loss and we have used 31 players.Cameron ciraldo on his first year will be...

Another she Rex.all of the signings under Barrett have failed.

Des Hasler didn’t Give a rates arise about our juniors.look at how many left because he wasn’t giving them an opportunity.

Good post.burton looked like he was enjoying his game last year under potter.the whole team did.but this year he and others have gone back wards.

I’m also trying to figure this one out.somewhere some how ciraldo lost the dressing room.

Alamoti’s defence has been suss all year and he’s never been dropped?

I said a while ago ciraldo had lost the dressing room

Your answer is Craig Bellamy. Look at Marshall king under Bennett.two of the best coaches. But don’t forget kasiano didn’t do well at the storm.

At this point in time I feel like ciraldo has lost the dressing room.defence is attitude. Cowboys got smacked by the tigers and have now won their last four.we get smacked and implode.

Can’t help to feel that ciraldo has lost the dressing room.under potter we looked like we were enjoying our footy. When a team misses 56 and 55 tackles that is an attitude problem. Gus Gould needs to step in and help him out. I’ve always maintained rookie team and rookie coach is disastrous. I...

Plus more.Flanagan on 600k,add some forwards off contract.

Let him go to the dolphins.Bennett is the only coach that will get the best out of him.

TPJ was dropped last season for a reason his defence.And he still does stupid errors.drop him.I hope they don’t resign him.

Knew they would smash us today.same as last time we played them.we can’t compete with them.we are playing worse then last year.our defence is non existent.

What happened to pele?

wont change anything our forwards are the problem.

Same I’ve always found him lazy.

Whatever your smoking nasheed I want some.

The way we are playing I don’t see us winning any of these.just too many injuries.another long season.

Flanagan still an issue.he can’t lead this team around.

Ryan Tandy. He committed suicide bro.

Never gonna win a game missing 42 tackles. RFM miss tackle on Johnson was terrible.

We should have and could have won another five games easily last year. Against the broncos,sharks,and a few more games.and look how we turned it around once potter took over. Yeah it’s a big call to make the 8 but our buying has been astute.our defence will improve out of sight under ciraldo. I...

Don’t need him.

Commentators were saying well before Barrett walked that he can’t try to get us playing like Penrith because we don’t have played like yeo,cleary,etc.he had to find the bulldogs DNA and play to our strengths.This was Barrett’s down fall. Come in mick potter and he has unleashed our attack with...

Good on kiraz.too many of the flogs we have bought it don’t give a rats about us losing or winning.he is passionate and hates losing. Maybe Jackson needs to rip into the players that make stupid mistakes like graham use to.

Looked good from what I saw.

I reckon it was a done deal a while ago.You can’t tell me they were spotted before Barrett was pushed and Gus didn’t talk about coaching with him.

Didn’t we chase him a couple of years ago??

Bennett will turn him into a star Hooker. Just like what he did with Soward
