Do we suffer from bad retention? bad recruitment? or bad development?

[Freakzilla]

So which is our biggest problem? We've let some good players leave over the years from our first grade squad. We've also let juniors like Sezer and Luke leave before even playing first grade for us. What is our biggest problem?

Team of players we've let go who played NRL level for us:

01. Moses Mbye (k)
02. Corey Thompson
03. Tim Lafai
04. Josh Morris
05. Brett Morris
06. Josh Reynolds
07. Blake Green
08. James Graham (c)
09. Damien Cook
10. David Klemmer
11. Martin Taupau
12. Shaun Lane
13. Dale Dinucane

14. Trent Hodkinson
15. Frank Winterstein
16. Herman Ese'ese
17. Aaron Woods

That team would easily make the 8.

 

[Boxer]

All of the above

 

[FaceBreaker]

We are still paying the salaries of Aaron woods, Mbye and Reynolds.

 

[Indiandog]

top of the list is bad recruitment and then bad retention.

Bad coaching and shit fitness is number 3.

Not Reynolds

 

[Spoonman84]

This has been done to death. We aren’t getting any of these players back.

Yeah but when ur paying mbyes etc 800-900k ya wouldn’t fit that team in
Hence why we don’t have half of em
Bad everything including salary cap management

 

[Vlasnik]

We are still paying the salaries of Aaron woods, Mbye and Reynolds.

We are paying nothing towards Reynolds his contract expired and he left for more money.

Do you know how to read? That has literally nothing to do with the topic.

 

[Bulldog87]

People were calling most of those players shit when they played for us. Maybe we have a bad fanbase too....

 

[gazza]

I enjoyed watching the senior and junior sapphires cheer squad display. Showed more talent and ticker than half the players.

 

[Spoonman84]

Listing a team of players including Blake Green who left close to 10 years ago and saying they would make the 8 is irrelevant. It’s a mixture of everything to be honest.

And like I said I wasn't asking for us to get them back so your comment was irrelevant.

 

[c-b-b]

We are now in the same position we were in during 2008.

At least then we had some $''s and were able to buy decent players.

How we find ourselves in the same position 10 years on is unbelievable.

Mixture of everything mentioned in the title.

1st- recruitment. The rut began with signing tony williams.
2nd-retention. Damien cook-nuff said
3rd-player development

 

[Roll the Bones]

Plenty from column A, plenty from column B, plenty from column C, and also plenty from columns D through Z. I honestly can't think of anything else to add that hasn't already been mentioned 200 times elsewhere. The last ten years, with a couple of exceptions, has basically been a total cluster fuck from management at all levels.

We just suffer in general and it seems to be a trend! This trend needs to be CHANGED......

NOW.

 

[Art Vandelay]

We are still paying the salaries of Aaron woods, Mbye and Reynolds.

What about James Graham as well?

 

[B-Train]

Our beloved club is in complete crisis. I never thought I'd see the club in a bottomless pit that it can't get itself out of..

 

[GoTheDoggies]

Piss poor management. How do you let a coach (who will not be named) sign Foran & Woods on big money then sack him in the same year.

This club is rotting from the top down.
