If these signings don’t work Gus’s back up plan is medical retirement and his media mates helping to lay the groundwork.Yeah, i saw his interview. He admitted to being "busted" physically. Found a money pot in the Super League.
Played a total of 6 games for Catalans. He's going on 32 years old.
I dont blame him for taking the money, and I hope Gus signs off more on similar players.
It's now a 15 year plan.
Lodge is utter gutter scum. We’re supposed to be rebuilding a crappy culture. He’s the last thing we need.
1 mill + free rent of a unit (owned by the club) for his family overlooking the beach to transfer to his name and ownership at retirement
Is that you Uncle Nick? Are you helping the dragons now?
No to Nick but that is one way how it is done
Thanks for the update, I was wondering about this myself. The sooner it's up and running the better.
Agree. Go all out for Haas, if not him then Tino. This club badly needs an elite player.
I'd not have him among that list. May have been ok at 19 but was mediocre at best while with us plus his conduct was not all that improved either. I will put Zac Lomax among them if he ends up being our long term custodian as playing behind a clever organiser he was terrific in his first couple of seasons. Only lost that spark when we lost Widdop.
Nail on the head. Both our season edge forwards were average defenders, Billy Burns has been doing a better job, while the blame must also lie with some of our middle forwards. If this is the reason Feagai and Rava constantly leave their wing to tackle inside players then something is sadly amiss with our recruitment and coaching as it results in at least two tries every week being conceded. Then again, if this is being coached then I am dumbfounded.
Dont know how many times I have posted that exact thing. While others continually bash this kid over his defense I continue to defend him for that very reason. No doubt he needs a minimum five kilos on that scrawny frame to give him more confidence in one on one tackles. Am sure Flanno will get him into the gym and onto the tackling machine in the off season, ride him like a bucking bronco then add a message that has to stick with him like glue, that silky attacking skills alone wont make you a great player.
How about we throw in a "cleaning job" for his partner at the Channel 9 studios for the duration of his contract?
Yes he can, now. Not seen him spill a bomb for many games or shirk taking the ball up for a least last four. Defense remains the kids achilees heel.
Precisely, if, but he does not get early and clean ball, been saying that for two years. Perhaps moving him to the back will give him the room to do what he is unable to do at centre. Flanagan is mulling over this and there will probably be a showdown between he and Tyrell in the pre season to determine his custodian for the forseeable future.
I agree. Some aspects of his game are getting better, obviously defence isn’t one of them but I remember when Billy Slater came into grade, his defence was also questionable. The difference is he had a better defensive team in front of him so it wasn’t highlighted as much as it is with Sloan.
