Opinion What could have been?

[Dog4life77]

Hey guys..
Just been thinking about the players we have missed out on at last minute..in the last 3yrs..(actual evidence we missed out)
Thoughts on what difference these players would have had over the past 3 years if signings eventuated..
Also..if these players were signed..the players we wouldn’t have signed in those positions in the 3yrs..
Chip in with any I miss out on..

Shawn Johnson…wouldn’t have signed Sexton
Brendan Piakura…wouldn’t have signed Kikau
Jerome Luai…Burton would definitely be in centres..not likely to be released…(Luai said he was super close to coming here for 25)
Api Koirisau…may have been more than 3yrs ago?…wouldn’t have signed Mahoney

I understand the cap would have been used differently elsewhere with these players joining,but I didn’t get that intricate with the process..lol
You would have to think these guys would have made a huge difference to our last 3yrs..
We have been very unlucky with certain situations..even the Oloapu injury that could have seen him killing it at 6.
TPJ wanting to try boxing.
Thompson injured for the term of a life sentence.
My point is..
I get it..we are not anywhere near where we need to be.
But we haven’t exactly had a good run with luck either..
So where could we be guys?..would we have been pushing the top teams in 21,22 and 23?
thoughts…..

The biggest miss is Leniu in my opinion.

Which is why it was extremely satisfying to see that fool get banned for the racial slur.

I’ve been thinking about all the things I’ve missed out on because the Powerball hasn’t dropped.

No point in speculating about what didn’t happen - for whatever reason it didn’t. Looking forward is the way.

I've been thinking about how my life would be different if I never took candy from a stranger that night in 2007.

I wasn’t sure if there was actual evidence that Leniu was basically ours at any stage

For me, it all started when Dad never took me to the circus.

Unfortunate that stranger was a Panther fan, you could have been a functioning member of society working at the fish and chips shop

There’s only been one big big error…..letting Cook go. Would have attracted quality recruits

I’m just trying to keep it real..
So many saying we are shit..we should be here..we should have this..why don’t we have this..
Johnson went home to sign a contract with us..we would have had our 7..no talk about Sexton or Hutch..lol
10th hour we had Api..11th hour…gooooone.
We had Thompson and TPJ…now we have neither and have the smallest front row in comp.
Criticise the club…praise the club…but keep shit real!!

We would be top 8 if the club paid just an extra bit for some of those
Players but the “not paying overs” has kept us near last for a decade

So you’re saying you’ve never met @04 Dreaming and @Polly Power? No need to lament .
