Well they will lose there jobs if they don't sign any marquee players soon.
Some star signings would be nice but as I said earlier, it isn't all about marquee signings as long as they recruit the best of the rest. If they somehow ended up recruiting Papenhuyzen, Cotric, Grant, Thompson etc then we'd all be ecstatic and they would have well and truly proven themselves.

But anything short of talent the calibre of those listed above won't be good enough for them to keep their jobs or for our club to improve enough to be a consistent threat to make the finals each year.

Thats true mate. Lets just hope they are holding back for 2021 because otherwise it won't end well for them.

As I have always said... time will tell !
One thing puzzles me...Mundine and someone else pursuing him for us months ago, lately he is saying Littrell will go for the highest bidder, What changed ???
His son signed with Soufs, who I reckon was the plan all along..

There goes the theory about him being too expensive ....would have worked out at approx 880k per season if we split the 350 over 3 years that the roosters were putting up..
So do you guys think he was too expensive now? Or a recruitment blunder?

.
If that's true that's very telling. And no doubt telling will have two very distinct camps!

And another way to look at it...

350 from the roosters
350 from forans money
He would have cost us a case of beer for 2020...
If true, they really need to pull their heads in...

Who knows mate. There is more to this than what is being said in rumor mills and the Media. I am sure this will be brought up at the Members forum in a few weeks.

Why would the roosters pay 350k? They don’t generally pay for players to play for other clubs and he’s only meant to be on 550k. 64% is pretty bloody high

Huh? I wasn't referring to money. So the 'theory' as you call it is well intact.
What I find 'telling' is if it's true half the board and the coach didn't want him.
The Chooks a) don't lose players they don't want to lose and b) generally won't pay for players to play elsewhere.

The whole thing is likely Daily Terrorgraph crap, but if there is a modicum of truth to it - the Chooks were super keen to cut him loose by offering some of his weight and even at a supposed 'bargain' we still said no.
So definitely not a blunder and yeah, with his alleged demands to play fullback, the quality 'advisors' in his corner and other known concerns still too expensive.

No guarantee we're getting 350k for Foran.
Total speculation the Chooks were putting up 350k.
You must like expensive beer.

Unless by miracle Foran makes it back before 12 weeks we will get 350k
As for the Crooks forking out 350k I believe...where there is smoke there is fire !
Otherwise...We should brew our own beer :D

Well in respect to them offering money, based on the way they have conducted themselves over the last week or so, I would say yes...they probably did offer us money to take him off their books
