That's what we are hoping for brotherYou know what that presents?
Opportunity.. someone will come and have a season no one predicted like Preston last season.

The players you named are stop gap solutions until the younger boys are ready. Hughes needs minutes not sitting behind anyone with the state of out forward pack he will always have a spot, 25 is realistic goal for Papa his on the right trajectory for FG and there’s bigger concerns than FB we should be looking for on the market. No need to rush the youngsters every minute they get is gold in Reggie’s if there’s anything to learn from the previous years you can’t rush them.Just hope the young talent coming thru doesn’t get pissed off and frustrated by lack of opportunity and ciraldos preference for sticking with plodders.
Is Taaffe > papa ??
Hutchinson > oneill ??
Poasa > Hughes ??
Whatever it is that went wrong last season, our Cup team was on top of things and then had a complete meltdown. That means the core group of players at that level aren't ready yet. We need for them to prove that whatever it is that unsettled them is no longer an issue and that they've gotten better at riding the waves when they happen.The players you named are stop gap solutions until the younger boys are ready.

There was no "core group of players" in NSW Cup last season, we used 36 players in NRL games and they mostly came from the NSW Cup team. As a result the "core group" weren't together for more than a few games at time. Obviously when you need to replace injured NRL players you utilise the better players from NSW Cup, and Jersey Flegg we were so short of players. From the outside it looks like the decision was taken to move the Jersey Flegg boys back to that team and sacrifice the NSW Cup Team. A hugely disrupted season, hopefully not to be repeated.Whatever it is that went wrong last season, our Cup team was on top of things and then had a complete meltdown.

Won’t matter how decent a half back is. Playing behind this pack will ruin anyone. Forwards are what is needed.How old is Joseph O'Neill and Mitchell Woods?
How many more years do we have to wait for a decent halfback to play first grade.
Can't do Ciraldope and Fool GouldCiraldo and Gus are a myth

CC benched our best trial forward CurranWith the exception of Curran, the Dogs were really missing an aggressive forward or two out there. Completely physically dominated and out enthused from the start
Imagine what will happen when tyec18 team comes into the competition?It’s so obvious we need middles but we also very obviously can’t buy any decent ones. It’s sad times when a power house club like ours can’t attract good props.
