Of course questions will be asked and people held to account if they haven't done a satisfactory job.

Unless you know the results on this upcoming season and the roster for 2021 I have no idea how you make a judgement at the minute?
If you're talking about Latrell Mitchell then I applaud the club for not signing him. Step in the right direction imo.

P.s i wonder how much these candidates are paying posters to spruik their propaganda for them on here? It's transparent as fukk lol.

Seen it all before. Move along people.
I have no agenda and will not defend anyone blindly, I don't care if the Pope Trump Kim Jong-Un or any ordinary qualified person off the street runs the club as long as the job gets satisfactorily done.
A true club supporter's duty is to voice and express concern when due in the hope the message gets through to the right people.
To be honest the only propaganda going on here is people blindly defending the people in charge

Absolutely... Everybody should be expecting another year of building anyway.

We are a fringe 8 team pushing for the finals, anything can happen though expectations to be kept at a realistic level.

Still a lot of theatre to watch out for...

Players looking for break out seasons, Meaney, Okunbor, RT, JMK and along with kids like Doorey, Topine and Averillo who might get a look in.

Also get to see which half or halves put their hand up for the long term halves positions.

Mariner in the front row FT, Stimpson adding another dimension and the coach one yr older.

And who knows whose coming or going??

Should be a fascinating season.... And if it don't work out we have plenty of doh to go shopping with when we definitely know what to buy.

Nothing to panic about, we are travelling nicely.

Two years can be a long time in rugby league. As far as I know we may be making big plays to get youngsters of Kalyn Pongas calibre here instead of taking the easy and expensive path by chasing the flavours of the month. Historically our biggest stars didn't come here with huge reputations. We recruited based on potential that hadn't been reached.

I know that Mitchell has talent. But the fact that he's willing to walk away from successive premierships if the price is right tells me that part of his attitude doesn't match what I want our marquee players to represent. If he comes to the club I'll support him, just like I do with Napa who wasn't on my wishlist of players to sign. But a team of stars doesn't always make a star team.

I'll be happy if we sign a lot of quality youngsters who have the determination to succeed as well as a few older players that are of the same mindset. Lattrell doesn't seem to have that mindset which is why I wouldn't want to chase him at any cost.

As far as things go with our board. They walked into a system that had dropped the ball in terms of producing juniors. They've made moves already to remedy that which I respect. They've had 8 days to recruit for 2021. And while some people here are annoyed that we haven't already sorted out our roster for two years time, I'm hardly ready to assume that we're going to be without quality players in two years time.

A club like Melbourne have proven that you can earn success without needing to sign the best of established talent. I'd prefer to follow that model of running a club than to try emulating the Roosters model.
Remember Alen79 The Melbourne model is originally ours !!!
Greenturd decided to abandon it:rage:

You’re entitled to do whatever you want it doesn’t mean others have to agree with you. The problems and concerns you have with the club aren’t shared by everyone and for some reason you seem to have a problem getting your head around that.

You're deluded if you think a fans' voice is heard.

Peoples impression of latrell is coming from the media, not from latrell himself.
For the life of me, i can not understand how people can judge a person without actually knowing the bloke
Who gives a flying fuck what he's like in the outside world.

Its all about footy and his attitude on the field stinks.

If he carried himself like a Cooper Cronk, maybe he would get close to what he is asking for.

If you want to make a difference, pay your dues with a club membership and go and have your voice and vote when the meetings come up, otherwise stop being a hardass behind the screen and quit whingeing like a little bitch and lighten the fuck up.

Keep expressing your opinion it’s good to get everyone’s point of view. For the record if there was someone who nominated for election and I believed they would do a better job I would have no hesitation in voting for them but calling for heads out of a election or for them to stand down is just ridiculous.

I said they should be given the chance to do their job
What is the solution if they don't ?

It’s pretty obvious isn’t it? They don’t get another term at the 2022 election.

Not saying the current people will fail but...
Can we as a club afford to wait till then ?
Will the new board then ask for a 5 years excuse plan for failure ?
To build for 2021 we need to start now not next year !!!
If we don't do it this year I am afraid we will miss the boat " No Panic"

If you’re saying the current board might not fail why are you getting so worked up and panicking? There’s so much time between now and 21. If was this time next year and the roster is a mess then yes I’d be concerned.

The boat hasn’t even come into the dock let alone about to leave so there’s no worries about missing it currently.

Any new board is going to need time to put their stamp on things it’s one of the problems changing boards.

We have been in the doldrums for too long
Do you think quality players will wait for Canterbury until 1/11/2020 ?

I’m not sure what you mean about the quality players waiting until next November? If you are already worrying about the 2022 roster then seriously chill out.

If they don't FAIL
