I am quickely losing confidence in us signing anyone of note, In fact i would be prepared to bet that we wont be getting any off Thompson May or Hunt
 
Silence is deafening, underwhelming and quite boring tbh.

Maybe we should have an off-season transfer and draft event to give us something actually to get excited about instead of this Primadonna media chasing players around for months feeding their ego's and us fans talking absolute shite and riding a rollercoaster....

I get a lot of league news come up when I open a new browser page on my phone. I'm not seeing a lot of signings from any club. A lot of players are still on holidays. I'm guessing once training starts again at most clubs, the players will start looking to secure their futures.
 
Gus and CC wont sign any forwards, they believe Hughes and King are generational talent and can lead us to a premiership

Rep forwards are going for stupid prices right now and the game is going through a bit of a shift with the 6 again rule meaning fitness and endurance is starting to seem more important than big boppers that can make 10 minutes of impact but then turn crappy defensively in my opinion. So if the club is thinking the way I am, we won't break the bank for the forwards that many of the fans want to see here. I'd be happy with a couple more props in the king and Hughes mould. Reasonably big, very fit but no frills players overall who can do a job well for long periods.

There are teams with incredible packs who have X factor. But we've worked out how to beat them for the most part. I'd be happy if we keep adding these no frills guys that aren't giving up 10kgs on the oppositions smallest props. We'll keep adjusting the spine and backline and get back to being able to choke teams out while being patient and taking chances that come when our opposition get frustrated.

We start paying stupid money to props again and our backline and spine drop in quality.
 
Anyone remember when there was this one guy on here that use to post similar threads or messages and then finish with “Mark my works”

CC said he isn't trying to imitate the Entertainers nor the Dogs of War, he is working on a new style...
Is it a combination of both, Let's call them The Hound-Dogs :laughing:

The Entertainers of War.
Can belt the opposition into submission in defence and make sizzling attacking plays with ball in hand would be fine with me.

I agree.
The focus should ALWAYS be the spine.
We havent quite got there with our spine atm, but hopefully we can fill at least 2 if not 3 players that are top 5 in their respective positions.

Forwards are pawns in this game. A strong pack simply means you can have a weak kicking game from your halves and still win the territorial battle. But its far from the only way.

Having made our bed with Burton at 5/8th, we have an attribute that can nullify a weak forward pack. We still need more however from our FB and HB coz Burton unfortunately doesn't have anything byt a good long kick in him.

This team will go to another level if we can either elevate Tracey and Sexton to top 5 in their positions. I personally dont think its possible with those 2, hence im mighty pissed off we couldn't land Pappy or Hunt or both.

I guess we have to tread water for another season or 2 before some other HB and FB hits the market and we can solidy those spots.
 
Hypothetical question, if we could secure the young titans prop but was dependent on releasing KO to the tits would you do the deal ? ?
