We don't have one as the market is dead... Just gotta hit 95% expenditure. NRL and their dog shit rules and not considering COVID and expansion implications
I don’t see any evidence it’s still enforced

The only way this makes any sense is if the clean out is brutal and we need to fill roster spots with experienced NRL players…. Suspect the middles will eventually come.

Id be surprised if Gus doesn’t sign up a marquee after Nov 1 for 2025.

At this stage, the club looks like it’s writing off 2024 too and using it as a platform for development surrounding kids with players that maintain NRL quality standards.

Makes sense. Gould is using same template as he did with Panthers. Journeymen & verterans as decent prices to fill the holes until junior production line kicks in. Keep in mind the player market has all marquees locked down currently due to dolphins coming in. What this signals is we wont be competing for top 8 in 24 & will be a slight chance in 25 so more pain before we reap anything.

Really don't understand our recruitment strategy
I kind of do. The club/players have a bad culture when it comes to hard work and ethics. Results have shown that over many years and the rot has set in from top to bottom and recent rumblings regarding players not being happy with the new playing style and training methods (some in the leadership group) shows the unprofessionalism that has taken over the team and filtering down through the juniors, and that has to stop!

New personal replacing the old is the only way to recapture and build a new culture within the club so personally any new signing inparticular players that resemble good ethics is a good signing compared to what we currently have. Our results over the past 6+ years have proven the joint needs a shake up and that is exactly what is happening. We will almost be unrecognisable within the next 12 months and that means new beginnings and on the way up we go.

i think this signing would be to distract Ponga. The Knights like giving us a dust up lately so Mann can just distract Ponga in the cubicle before the match

Mann has a tackle effiency of 95%. I'd rather have him on the bench than some of our NSW cup players.

Out of all the shit we've been linked with this one takes the cake :tearsofjoy:

Did the lurker write this while crawling out of his truck stop cubicle?
