That’s the thing.. he cannot get away with that defence that we’ve been seeing.. dosent matter how many moves Gus is doing.. that defence is going to kill our club
They are defending like a lazy U8s team with a coach who thinks "everyone is a winner" bullshit attitude.

They are not scared or even respect the assistant, I dont care what anyone says.

We are progressing. Our juniors are starting to show promise. We have signed some decent talent for first grade but unfortunately injuries have really fucked up our season and we do lack quality in a few key positions. Unfortunately everyone is basing our level of progress on the first grade side . This probably isn't fair as it takes years to come back from the salary cap and obliteration of our junior system in the Dessie/Ralene era.

In defence of Gus and ciraldo this year is a season of correction.
Keep in mind how long this year we have had two marquees out kikau and Thompson ,also injuries across the park like a curse .
Next season with sexton he will settle the spine but they need to get us two forwards anyone,even get Vaughan back to Australia .
If we release Thompson we need someone solid .
If we release TPJ we are in trouble in middles.
And we need a dose of off season discipline some of the stuff is beyond appealing and makes me question the coach.

There will be no fans left by the time they get it right.. I’m not saying it’s right but this generation of fans are not gonna stick around
especially the younger ones

Do you think we are going backwards under the GHOUL? or are we on the right track?
I think we have gone a little backwards.

But, I also think that we may need to go backwards to go forward.

We must give Gould time to execute his plan. Time will tell whether he has been successful or not.

At this stage, he is our man and I think we need to stay strong.

Ciraldo may end up a brilliant coach - he’s 38, in his first job as head coach, give him a chance.

Do we even have a defence coach?
Haven't seen our attack coach in the box lately either?

I want CHN back. Not sure what's happened to him post the seizure episode but he's a gun player when he's on song. And I'm quite certain he's not very happy how the Raiders play him with 10-20 minutes a game at most.

He would have learned good stuff in Canberra he could bring back.

Here we go.. Time to fire everyone again..
Nasheed here,
Yoi are wrong here b traun.

We need to find soime consistency and let players and officials find their feet and gel.

Havent you ever heard the term 'thry have plyed with each other for years' when explaining various teams in various codes success?

Why do we want players that get seizures?

I think we've gone backwards this year under Ciraldo but I think we'll go forwards at least 2 years from now because of Gus

And yeah I agree with you about off season. I'd rather not hear a peep out of the club right through just work hard. The PR campaign during pre season and the trial games etc has contributed massively to fans being so disgruntled. No more of this woke bullshit, nonsensical and totally irrelevant drivel that was doing the rounds during pre season.

I'd say the clubs in something a situation of begger's can't be choosers. He's a very good player, has had one seizure episode during his career and further episodes may be preventable.
