This thread is nothing short of naive adding the point Potter is a Fkn coach in this team ffs.

Potter and the team had no pressure last year
More bollocks. News flash - the competition doesn’t suddenly get easier with less pressure week to week once a club gets a new coach. You’ll still get a tough and determined opposition week in week out. Our footy looked the best it’s ever been in a decade under Potter and that fact should’ve been taken far more seriously.

Instead we’ve gone for a young rookie coach and paying him millions lol. Gus has a lot to answer for

What a crock of shit
Sad to see that this absolute loser culture extends to the club forums as well
I go the other way, people like you hyping up our shit rosters and players for far too long has led to a culture of keeping these mugs around. This team barely is bottom 5 at it’s best

That’s a good point. The cupboard is bare. But it doesn’t excuse how bad we are travelling. Not to mention Ciraldo’s recruitment decisions and positional selection blunders.
WHAT? Don't just blame CC, man..... Remember Burton is stealing your lads thunder, and Mahoney is just a waste of space with all his dud plays... Where would we be if we'd only kept JuNK. Top 4 for sure.. don't you think?

We performed poorly under Potter too and had some terrible losses. To say pressure is not released is wrong. Potter is the attack coach now, do you think he has nothing to do with our attack?

Yeah traditionally he has. But in today's society a man can be a woman and a woman can be a man... who could deny that JR couldnt identify as a 7?
I'm a lesbian, but I identify as a white straight male. What's your point?

Next time OP thinks I just had a brain fart, should I start a thread? Just don't.

I'm not going to even comment about JR. He has enthusiasm in spades, he is dedicated, has the right attitude and the willpower to match any adverse condition thrown in his path and above all his heart is in the right place, but it is 2023 and the game is changing at a rapid pace... even the legends from just a few seasons ago would be hard pressed to lace up a pair of boots and keep pace with the game for a full 80 minutes.

And how

hey genius, how much say do u think he has between ciraldo and gus? The selections are sh@t and we finished 12th, so let me know how we are any better?
2022 we won 25% of our games up until round 8
2023 we have won 37.5% of our games to date (round 8)

Therefore we are still better then 2022

Numbers don’t lie, genius.

Too early to judge CC still but next 4 games will tell us a lot about the coach and the team this year. Dragons, Raiders, Warriors and Titans before the bye. All winnable imo although raiders at Suncorp will be tough due to short turnaround.
If we go 0-4 then I’m putting us in the wooden spoon conversation.
1-2 wins likely same position as last season.
3-4 wins then we’re still a shot to make the 8.

I won't get my hopes up regarding making the 8 just yet but I am hoping we continue to put in 100% every single game whether it be a full strength squad or a patched up band of riff raff.

CC is trying to cement a certain style of footy, we need to be patient, and it will come together when troops return and we sign better players! We are not winning the comp, our expectations need to be realistic!
And if it doesn't all come together we could always get Barrett back for Round 2. We will run in the bottom 4 this year. Injuries are a convenient excuse this season for the playing group.

If we didn’t cop those injuries, we’d still be 3 and 5 and you wouldn’t have your excuse. If Melbourne and the Cowboys didn’t get smashed with injuries, we’d be 1 and 7.

Ciraldo is a dud. I told you all he would be from the beginning.

Swoosh, nothin’ but net!
Ok Nostradamus pull your head in, stop the drugs and alcohol and leave that tiny thing alone. Your not with the players as often as the coaches and Gus. We have a very good squad when available and will get even better next year. Yes we have weaknesses in certain positions but we have several waiting in the wings and money to spend. The injuries have been heartbreaking but that too will improve. Isn’t that bar stool your sitting on upside down, no wonder your so upset that would hurt.
