Think you missed the players that left in 2021/2022 from the GF team

nathan Brown
Marata Nikore
Reed Mahoney
Oregon Kaufusi
Isiah Papali’i

And replacements were Momosaie, Murchie and that was about it. Awful recruitment .

the list is not about players moving on, it’s the lacklustre and journeyman and other clubs cheap rejects replacing them and still spending the cap, gee that’s not good management

It’s been said before but the real problem is that our playing list has been getting progressively weaker each year from the 2022 GF. Don’t think it’s arguable that it’s not, look at our position on the table , yet we still have to spend the cap and can’t attract or don’t want to spend for elite players.

Until that’s addressed more of the same, and it’s time to figure out how to improve that area, it’s too important to ignore.

Guys cmon look at our flegg side MON has signed up all those players from different clubs..........
That was the take from TCT didnt mention MOM but they said that the ball kids have competition if they want to step up..

The junior rep sides recruitment up to Flegg is the responsibility of Isaac de Gois and Shepard, not sure but think the only part that MONs plays is when they are upgraded to top 30 , maybe even some development deals. However as I understand it, scouting and signings at that level are on the pair mentioned , not MON or the invisible list manager.

See thats where I think that the HOF needs to have their input...

It's the biggest issue for our players going from Ball to Flegg they seem to drop off.

Not sure his expertise seen at NRL level is going to be any good lower down, they saw the weakness and signed mostly from other clubs this past year or so to be competitive

Unfortunately I think we can’t actually attract any talent, KK offer was pretty much on par with the dragons and still nothing, just my opinion
