Thanks for the updates. Nice to hear we aren't giving away our major sponsor like the sharks do

Just got back home. Talked to most of the boys tonight. Also Hill and Lynne.
Hill and Lynne insisted that they try and keep everything tight lipped and media are throwing darts on most articles written about our club. Nothing much more from them bar saying 2020 we are aiming for success not waiting around for 2021.....
Stimpson says he is loving the move and family are only 4hrs away so not much changed for him after his move to us.
Reimis confirmed he wants a centre spot bad. Lewis looks like he has put on some size and Okonbur looks more impressive aswell. All the boys look happy and fit and were more than happy to have a yarn.
Hopefully we play how we did the last 8 weeks

I'm hoping mate. We are still lacking hard in the spine. JMK, Lewis, coggar/wakes is a very young and inexperienced lot. We need to be defensively sound to challenge the better teams because the points may be hard to come by again

Hill and the board should have been grilled about recruitment because it’s an absolute disgrace that we can’t sign 1 quality player,,,,,not even a decent centre or winger

Edit... I encourage everybody who supports the club to do everything they can to make these forums. It is a much better way to have your voice heard and you can put your questions to those with some power over our club.
Who the hell told Lewis to put on some size, he's already the biggest half in the comp as it is lol.

Deano and Lynne both pretty much confirmed prior belief that a huge focus for the club is becoming a development club again - which in the long run will serve us well.

Then become a member and have your say. I think it’s fair to say most members there tonight are comfortable with the direction of the club. It’s a stay not a sprint.

Absolutely agree on the media strategy and have always believed it. It’s a work in progress it’s clear to see - and they are deliberately not saying stuff publicly until they’re ready. So those scribes who need to fill their column inches will write whatever they want. As Hilly said and in Donald Trump terms: ‘fake news’.

development takes and years to come into fruition

Real world
In other words Dont blame us coz we are shit now and drip feed cryptic messages to fans and members to give a glimmer of hope about potential things but when things get worse claim we are going through a rebuild

Looks like the bleater bus has just pulled up, so on that note... hope the update was interesting if not earth shattering. Cheers for now.
No but realistically they served up the same rubbish as start of last 2 seasons. Full of secrets big promises and chinese whispers of absolute hot air. Lol fuck me im worried about these clowns

What did you honestly expect they were going to say? They were never going to go into detail about players they are targeting and the roster is full bar one spot for next year.

I'm guessing that's why we signed guys like Biondo etc to fast track this a bit. Basically to knock a little time off the process of having players we've had a hand in developing progressing into the top 17. We already have seen a few players get chances. Ogden, Too'omaga Wakeham Okunbor etc all got a taste of NRL. We recruited a few good young players too in CHN, DWZ Cogger etc. We'll have to wait and see how Stimson Britt and Katoa factor in next years team. But it's easier to criticize if you leave out those details.

The long term goals are different to what they're doing now. We all want to see the team have success and we're entitled to be critical. But I'd encourage you and others to apply a bit of a wider point of view.
