Dont c how they keep paying big $$ for forwards
Des doesn't let anyone go.Told you all
No way Des let’s him go
Patolo is in the same class as Ogden, Atoni etc. They’re all fringe first graders and nothing more.We’re really going to head into a season relying on Liam Knight to spearhead our pack. Unless Hughes and Patolo take miraculous leaps in development, we are gunna get steamrolled every week
You can't, and have quality across the rest of the top 30. We can take some comfort in the fact they have spent a quarter or more of their cap on 3 forwards . . . Good luck with your spine DesDont c how they keep paying big $$ for forwards
Campbell, Brimson, Foran and Verrills not the worst spine going around. Randall was Kenny/Cotter like this year. Their roster is stacked.You can't, and have quality across the rest of the top 30.

Not the most resilient bunch though.All bar Campbell are injury prone.Campbell, Brimson, Foran and Verrills not the worst spine going around. There roster is stacked.
That's a pretty average spine.. Plus Foran, Brimson and Verrills are injury prone and always miss a tonne of games.Campbell, Brimson, Foran and Verrills not the worst spine going around. Randall was Kenny/Cotter like this year. Their roster is stacked.
And those 3 forwards will all be missing during the origin period tooNot the most resilient bunch though.All bar Campbell are injury prone.
Didn't someone say Terrell May still doesnt have a contract for 24 yet or did I dream that oneOf players spending most of their time in NSW Cup Nafahu Whyte from the Roosters who was playing well in NSW Cup - he and Wong were standouts early in the year - imho, would be worth pursuing - will be behind Collins, May, JWH Leniu.
Doesn't address the need for an alpha middle - but just having middles that can compete and match would be a big step forward - Saifiti is probably the closest of the possible signings.
I think he is still availableDidn't someone say Terrell May is still doesnt have a contract for 24 yet or did I dream that one
Greigg from parra may also still be availableDidn't someone say Terrell May still doesnt have a contract for 24 yet or did I dream that one
Any excuse to go to Movie WorldNever got my hopes up, so im unsurprised and not upset. Gusses multiplel visits up to the goldie have been real failures
The roach is back. Damn I had high hopes that you were road kill. Go ahead buzz bitch and give your take on how the club have failed againNever got my hopes up, so im unsurprised and not upset. Gusses multiplel visits up to the goldie have been real failures
Surprised Vaughan wasn't offered a contract to stay. In hindsight tpj money would have been handy. Plenty of clubs will be shedding players in the next 12 to 18 months. We will be fine but the short term will be hard without experience up front.sadly we might have to develop our own props since there's no one good available on the market
It's concerning when our best middle options are King and Knight. They'd be helpful in a chess game though . . .

There have been plenty of players on the market we have missed out on. If you have pulling power and stroke, you do what needs to be done to entice them away from their clubs. Fair enough if Payne Haas wants to stay at the broncs, but when you have elite forwards opting to stay at loser clubs like the titans rather than come to us, that is just embarrassing.You can’t get your head around it ???
It’s blatantly obvious … you can’t just pluck players out of thin air !!
There are no elite props on the market, those that may have been available were offered an upgrade and decided to stay with their original clubs ..
What elite halfbacks are available ? …… you keep blaming Gould for not signing one, but you never answered the question …. Who’s available for him to sign … who do you suggest he goes after ??
Gus has bought one of the most talented athletes in the league in Crichton who they feel could be an elite FB, plus they’ve signed Taaffe as well who was the best on the market & just won MOM in a cup football winning premiership side ..
You can’t just go offer players way overs because you unbalance the cap and team, and if they flop or go lazy on the money like TPJ they can take years to move on .. it’s a balancing act ..
But you know all this it just doesn’t make for good trolling !!
Gus knows what he’s doing, you have no idea …. stick to what you know Fizbo, making snow cones ..

has it ever occurred to you that maybe some players don't want to relocate and are happy to stay at the club they're at?There have been plenty of players on the market we have missed out on.
