I agree Gus has to find at least 2 alpha props urgently …surely we can pinch that number 19 from the sharks who came off their bench…he is a monsterIsn't that what Gus is getting paid for, i would have at the least kept Paul Vaughan and got Leniu. Gus is a joke. Paying top dollar for wingers, centres as well as 14s. Mate even Panthers bench fowards Lindsay Smith. Sharks have plenty so do Roosters. Penrith got rid of Gus because he couldn't get first grade right.
Our last best spending spree was with Greenburg. Good fowards we would die to have now.
Agree we were much better for a lot of the game on Friday. The game goes for 80 minutes and we will always get the rough end of the 50-50 calls until we can step up and take that out of the equation.After watching us play like that, how is everyone still so negative?? we got dudded by some ref calls, hynes even said at the end, the dogs are looking a real strong side this year. Listen I dont know how many we win but play as we did today and we ll have a good crack at them all
You are drunk or watch something else if you can not see our defence is heaps better than last year you have no idea!If we are as you say we are with 1 win. Then scratch off this year and get ready for sackings. The only person atm who is safe is Gus. I’m a massive Gus fan but the guy should concentrate on juniors and building the lower grades as no one in the industry competes with him in that aspect. The rest he is failing at dramatically…. We have shown 0 improvement in crucial positions since he has been here
Problem is it isn’t as if the Sharks are good then and Souths can quinella the biggest pretenders in the comp.After watching us play like that, how is everyone still so negative?? we got dudded by some ref calls, hynes even said at the end, the dogs are looking a real strong side this year.

We have leaked more points in 2 games than any other side? And people are praising effort in defence for 30-50min of the game. Wow i guess these days a lot of fans are happy to watch a first grade side put effort into defence hahahahaYou are drunk or watch something else if you can not see our defence is heaps better than last year you have no idea!
You are speaking a lot of sense.End of the day I hate repeating it, but your spine win football games, our spine is the worst in the comp and it’s not even close, least the Tigers have an elite fullback. Who has a worse spine?
Hate to burst your bubble but Souths and the Titans have two of the strongest forward packs in the comp and they’re gonna run right through us.We will beat the Titans this weekend. What we need to do is make sure we beat them well from start to finish with no letting up. Like what Dragons did to them in Round 1 or what happened to Dragons last night. A streaky win with a late try from their mistakes won't achieve anything heading into Good Friday and the challenges after that.
I think Souths are there for the taking. Massive internal issues still unresolved. The players run the show. The coach is a more of a puppet to Mitchell than what the Aussie Cricket coach is to Cummins. The difference is that Cummins delivers results as captain and player. Cummins also works hard on the training paddock. As long as we are prepared to grind and frustrate Souths we can beat them. Allow the game to open up will suit Mitchell and Walker.
Yet we still blame Des after 12 years when he was first given apparent permission to start dismantling the pathways system.You are speaking a lot of sense.
Throw in one of the weakest middle forward rotation and couple that with referee bias and getting the shit end of every 50/50 call and I don’t even know why we bother.
Is it even a rebuilding phase anymore if you’ve been uncompetitive for a decade?
Dunno what the f-#k we’re supposed to have been building?
End of the day we almost HAVE to pay some overs for these spine players and we continually haven't. Even last year Aiden Sezer was available (Tigers signed him). Are you telling me Sezer is not a 100 times better half than Hutchinson? Unless we pick up a genuine 7, we aren't going far. Then we look at the fullback, every good side has an A grade fullback, if people are riding their hopes on a kid in reserve grade I have news for you, everyone was saying the same about Olapau too.You are speaking a lot of sense.
