Now if the club can find a utility whose favourite position is club captain and middle forward then Ciraldo can say he owns the roster.

Gus tweeted Zac Montgomery left the club before Christmas & he is still shown on the photo/profile page.
Doesn't exist if the image isn't there

Being able to run and actually being able to contribute at a competent level in the NRL are worlds apart. We’ve been training for ages now, he’s at least 2 months behind schedule and that’s if nothing else pops up for him
There's plenty of ways he could maintain a level of fitness while injured.

He'll have started getting cardio on our Anti G machine to ease his legs back into running without the weight being on them. It's quite probable that he's been swimming for fitness too before that. And a knee injury (if memory serves) wouldn't stop him from working on upper body strength in the gym. So he's potentially not as far behind as you might think. He's definitely behind those who had a full pre season. But he'll have worked on whatever areas he could as soon as the doctors cleared it. The club knows how valuable every prop might be this year. So they'll have tailored a plan to work around his rehab. He won't have been sitting on his ass doing crosswords.

@Marki Gould was a great coach in the 1990's like Tim Sheens and the late Bob Fulton were great coaches of that era. He was a drawcard in that era for anyone wanting to play under him. He owned the Origin arena the 3 game series was his stage. The game has changed massively since Gould was last a full time coach even when he last coached at Origin it has changed. Fittler's plan to bring Gould as chief advisor it backfired and resigned. Gould is from a different era like Sheens was. Sheens had better success in club land and he was moved on last year.

Penrith saw the writing on the wall. Ivan Cleary said Penrith was dysfunctional when he returned back in late 2018. Cleary had to rip up the 5yr plan and start Penrith all over again. We can't be clinging onto look at Penrith now. It's a different club culture wise, how it's run and mentality wise since 2018. They allowed themselves to go into a freefall in 2019 to be a whole different club by 2020.

The RFM split was always going to happen. They couldn't get him on breach notices or termination. Eventually Gould and another club this time being the Dragons came to an agreement. RFM gets full pay possibly even more for his final two years and still plays football. I reckon both clubs are paying for half his contract. He's the big winner.

We again are paying a good portion of the freight for a player at another club. We are making good habit of this. So many contracted players are willfilly shipped on. Our fans have jumped onto this. Doesn't create loyalty and culture for the jersey.

A lot of our new signings are short-term fixes. We need to break out of this turnover cycle and just build stability. We boast about having a rebuild the two central players to that should have been local juniors Averillo and Alamoti. Averillo at 23 is about to hit the peak years of his career. He will enjoy being backed completely by his coach and settling into the one role. Alamoti been the standout best junior in the club for many years finally cracks NRL at just 19yrs and he's flicked before he turns 20. @Flanagun is right about Waddell he should have been kept just as he was coming through the other end he's gone.

Should we be classified as a new NRL club with all the player turnover?

We need to stop the constant turnover cycle and allow some form of stability in the playing ranks to emerge.
It’s a fair effort to continually outdo yourself with shit post after shit post.

Yes your right, we share turns. Somebody has got to keep one eye on the team whilst the other is slappin your Mrs. All this whilst you're to busy in your blacked out room filled with Gus and CC posters with holes for eyes which I assume is because you face fcuk them with your pin dick in anger.
