I just want to say that the potential for regret here far outweighs the potential for pleasure. I'm not a professional wingman or anything, but I've steered plenty of friends away from mistakes that'd haunt them for many years. This is one such time. Steer clear of that bit of rotting flesh.
Mate. Appreciate it so much. Really. I'll put him on the backburner for now then

First thing Gus did was pinpoint our flaws and is doing a good job fixing them, not dying wondering !
I believe
Fullback...covered
Five eight...covered
Halfback...no available super half, we have 4 prospects in a much better team now !
Hooker...we've added Cook and hopefully soon Mahoney
Don't let Drunkenfield unsettle you faith :-)
Well said sir. Mahoney would make a huge difference and I can live with one more year to give the clubs current halves one last shot to prove themselves.

I think it is ideal to try and turn Averillo into Jahrome Hughes type of half - halves have to run - unless rules change again the days of the plodding, organising half are over - they need a running game as well. Guys like Flanagan townshend need to develop running games

"Apparently Flanagan’s contract is heavily back-loaded and he’ll be earning $500,000 in 2023"

Obviously too drunk everyday for the last 4 years to read the NRL rule book which banned "heavily back ended contracts" back in 2018.


Always a Bulldog

DT has now changed the headline online to 'Gus puts underperforming Dogs up for sale'.
Nothing gets clicks like a Dogs headline.

The fact that penrith had made gf the year after gus left and won the comp the year after that is evidence he didnt leave them in a bad position

Projected salaries for contracted players for 2023. 20 players contracted for a total of roughly 7.225 million. That leaves 2.275 mill for 10 players. 4 players on development contracts for 80k. Leaves 1.955 mill for 6 players. Still allows us to sign 1 or 2 big signings and will cover a few other players on close to min wage.

TPJ 700k

Just so we are clear on how much of a knob buzz is:

Ask Penrith Panthers. The Panthers couldn’t win a premiership until Ivan Cleary and Brian Fletcher carefully dismantled the team Gus built and offloaded the likes of Reagan Campbell-Gillard, Waqa Blake, Tyrone Peachey, James Maloney, Trent Merrin, Dallin Watene-Zelezniak, James Tamou and Matt Moylan before their contracts were up.

Ivan Cleary - Coach 2019, Gus leaves late April 2019.

Break down of the players released / not re-signed by the 2 parties for the above players:

Cleary / Fletcher -

Reagan Campbell-Gillard - Sept 2019 Released, Dallin Watene-Zelezniak Released June 2019, Waqa Blake Released June 2019, James Maloney not re-signed July 2019 to french side, James Tamou not re-signed 2020 signed with tigers 2 yrs

Gus -
Tyrone Peachey not re-signed - Feb 2018 sigs w titans, Trent Merrin not re-signed- 2018 Leeds 2019, Matt Moylan Released Nov 2017

Someone needs to do their research Buzz!

We should enjoy The Rise of The Giant our club is, but must stay aware and cautious of the wolves (Lies Un-Ltd) that surround us...
Don't ever forget...
1. They used us during the super league war, we were the reason for their success but failed us by not helping us rebuild our team.
2. We become their target for destruction or relocation as a result of being the only club that refused to sign Souffs Sydney's death warrant.
Wolves can never be guide dogs :rage:
