Attracting New players

[Novocastrian]

All the talk of replacing Hasler with a new coach in the media now won't be doing our recruitment much good. While there are players we all would be happy to see if another team there are a few who are not signed sealed and delivered yet in Jackson Klem and Mbye. I see Moses as our long term 5/8 just need a half. Now the media have gotten wind to this I feel it'll be hard for us to attract a halfback. Not saying a new coach wouldn't be good just the timing would hamper is getting a half if it's dragged out all year and left unknown who's coaching until off season. We need to make a massive play for Cronk.

You mean bullshit rumours from some half arsed rumour monger?

Nope, won't make a bees dick of difference.

 

[GRKDOG]

Because we were doing so well attracting a half back the last 5 years...

 

[Indiandog]

yeah our great recruitment will be affected

we wont be getting players like Trex and we might have to pay Mbye a million dollar/ year instead of 800k/year to make him stay.

lol

 

[Novocastrian]

Reading it the wrong way fellas. I mean will players want to come if they think the clubs unsettled, well coaching staff because the board are rock solid

Or a fullback

Most players didn't want to come regardless. T-rex is our only major signing since 2013, B.Morris came over because of his brother.

We got hoppa but we had to let him not play Sundays for his signature.

our recruitment.

What recruitment?

 

[Dognacious]

We dont need any new players and probably arent looking for any either. Problems are coaching related.

We still don't have a halfback. IMO, the coaching style is dictated by the lack of a genuine half

We have a half, and he deserves more than 9 matches to get good at the job. And its not like experienced halves are flooding the market. If the intention was to have an experienced half we would have kept hodkinson.

Truth is, we should have kept hodko and let Reynolds go,

A hodko and Mbye halves combo would have been a better option,

And I'm starting to agree with @indiandog in regards to Ennis,
When we let him go, he had another 3 good seasons left in him,
I'm not so sure Lichaa is going to pan out as expected,

If we kept hod and had mbye at 5/8 it would have been worse. Reynolds is much better in attack than hod and we would have and inexperienced 5/8 instead. I agree i would have liked ennis for longer though.

you always learning something new here at Kennel, I never new we have a recruitment team

 

[JBdog]

I'd love to see us go for Luke Brooks to play halfback and shift Mbye to 6. Reynolds can come off the interchange bench. Can be achieved if we get rid of dead wood starting with T Rex.

I don't buy that rubbish anymore. If Des wanted a halfback he would of bought one, he has been here long enough. We are playing how Des wants us to play, this is the team HE built. No one else.

 

[Wahesh]

Why is it that whenever our team loses ONE GAME, all the talk of inner-turmoil, failure to attract players, and coaches neck on the line all start to emerge? IT'S ONLY ROUND FUCKING 9 AND WE'RE COMING 5TH FFS!

 

[GDR]

In Des' tenure who has he recruited ??
T-money bags Rex
Will no sunday hopoate

Curtis Rona is the only decent recruitment decision he has made
