I think you’re being a bit harsh on yourself claiming retardation,Thanks bro, I wasn’t even aware there was two batemans hence why the retardation on my behalf lol
If thats true, him and Hoppa would be the two slowest centres in the game.Lewis can defend - he is too slow - running, passing and kicking - to be a threat with the ball. The club moved him into the centres a few years back - defended exceptionally well - but just too slow.

I could not agree more strongly to anything posted but this.So if rumours are true we have eaten shit for years and been garbage, paid our “best” players to go elsewhere and play. All to build this war chest and mega $ plan. To .... sign Josh Reynolds who we let go 3-4 years ago when he could sort of stay on the field (if wasn’t suspended) and had a position locked down? Now he’s busted and a utility he’s our signing with the war chest? Yeh we are in serious trouble.
I have always got love for Reynolds and his past but fuck the tigers get the best young Hooker (on loan, who knows if he leaves in a year or stays, storm have b smith too) and we sink lower with nothing.
We have sacked our best attacking option outside of Foran and look Fucking a mess.
Deadset

we have watched our better players go, been told to be patient, gonna have a “war chest” blah blah, sacked CHN when really he did nothing wrong, he didn’t pick the chick up at school, and it was consensual... And now we are linked with f’n Reynolds who can’t get a gig at the f’n Tigers ffs. I enjoyed the way he played for us, he was a decent player, but he’s time is over.
I feel the club has lied to us. Either that, or we aren’t a draw anymore and thought of as a Titans... which is worse
The board/recruitment team would be jeopardising themselves if they don't recruit properly with our "war chest". If it's an utter mess before the start of next season and we've brought little to no one in that's going to be a real game changer for us the whole fan base is going to want change (that's when you'll see the people "sticking up" for the board/recruitment team turn too). The problem is going to be if we stuff up this rebuild we're going to be pushed back another two to three years before we can realistically aim for the finals. I've always said I was concerned basically right after November and the following months we didn't sign anyone (Thompson at a later date) as I could slowly start to see all the talent being locked up or moving elsewhere. I will give benefit of the doubt until we know the roster for 2021.I could not agree more strongly to anything posted but this.

How much time? Do you know something? To be honest, as a fan for over 40 years, I’ve never felt less confident in what we are chasing / getting / building towards than right now.Give it time
How much time do they need to stop buying forwards like Sue Stimson and BrittGive it time
Hoppa can at least throw a bullet pass (and a nice deft one), unlike Lewis who looks like he was taught to pass by Reynolds and Lichaa.Hoppa is a bullet compared to Lewis
Lewis has that X factor. I don't get his reluctance to work on his pace and step and run the ball more. He otherwise has all the skills. It could be the players around him.He had time because he stops like an idiot and the kick chase can't time their run, bloke is shit, end of.
Nah sorry, if you can't run over the advantage line and draw defenders to give your outside men opportunities then your a shit half. That's why early ball works so well with good halves as players on the inside are held in due to the threat of the running game. Thats why Lewis isn't a halves asshole as he plays so deep in an already flat style of play we adopt... which also is why most of our chasers are always Infront on kick chase.Lewis has that X factor.

Were building....Give it time
But he is supposedly the Prince of Belmore?Nah sorry, if you can't run over the advantage line and draw defenders to give your outside men opportunities then your a shit half.

Okay since we so desperately need a half and there isn’t a lot available Pearce and dce are the value chips and Cleary and more experience half’s are locked into contracts.There is a reason (multiple reasons most likely) why he is on his 4th NRL/ESL club (Chooks, Manly, Salford, Wigan) in 6 years and his 5th club overall (+StGeorge NYC) in 7 years. He signed a 2 year deal with Salford in July 2018 then a year later in July 2019 signed a 2 year deal with Wigan. I don't have an answer to the question mark that hangs over him, but there demonstrably is one.
Go Dogs
Yes. Soon I will not be able to say names like Friend, Cotric or Jamil Hopoate either. Thank god? Milford would of provided much needed X-Factor into our team.So @bradyk you can stop bringing up Milford now that he has extended his contract with the Broncos ...thank god!!
