At the years end it will be 15 years since last premiership, the second worst drought in the clubs long history.
3 years since making the finals series, the longest drought since 1961 to 1966.
In 2019 no players for NSW and only one for Queensland who is lucky to be there on form.
In all likelihood no Australian player in 2019.
Worst attack I've seen over 45 years, same as the last 2 years.
A coach who for some reason was resigned for 2020 earlier tihis year despite the team showing no improvement.
Problems with Salary cap but I'm left scratching my head when I look at other teams rosters.
Hated by all other supporters and the Daily Telegraph.
What can be done?
This year Crichton to replace Montoya in Centre once Okunbor is back.
Lewis to replace Marshall King at hooker.
Apart from that I don't know any other options than to try out some of the other players in our top 30 squad.
Moving forward approach Kevin Walters as coach or take a gamble and approach the Walker Brothers, at least they will hopefully coach us to play exciting unorthodox attacking football once again. Dean Pay reminds me of the feeling I had when Kevin Moore was coach, we will never win with him in charge.
As soon as possible offload the following players who I suspect are on big coin at least for us. If we cant offload don't resign.
Foran
Hopoate
Tolman
Jackson (as much as it hurts he seems to have lost it).
At seasons end try to offload or don't resign when contracts are up for renewal:
Lichaa
Marshall King
Holland
Montoya
Elliott
Fualalo
Then buy the best hooker, halfback, prop and centre on the market once money is available in cap.
Also the players and coaches I've listed above are tough, talented and want to succeed as you need to be to play o rcoach in the NRL, but the game is now all about results and we need some fast!
If not I fear the possibility of being considered for relocation.
