Stuart might be giving our board a scare, hoping they pull their heads in.

When are they going to appoint a CEO so they can f**k off into the background?

Hey, TheRam, the reason none of our under 20s Origin players were picked in the team of the year is because three of them were playing higher grades from early in the season. The fourth (Folau) isn't even 19 yet.

Excuses.

As for our NYC getting worse, that is also bullshit - they ran last in 2010. I dare say if our NRL side was better our teenagers would still be in NYC and they would be finals bound.

More excuses.

And finally Keary - he wasn't good enough for any NRL club which is why he was playing for Burleigh when Souths found him. That means neither the Titans nor Broncos wanted him.

The only reason he is able to get a start in first grade at the moment is because Souths have such a dominant pack. If he was at Parra he would be like a faster, weaker Luke Kelly.

And dare I say it, a world of even more excuses.

We as a club are running last. That is undeniable and inexcusable. Excuses are for politicians and gullible imbeciles who are willing to accept them.

I don't care how you skin this eel, it is rotten and we have all been throwing up because of it, while people like you are still eating more spoonfuls and wondering why people like me have stopped.

The club has been poisoned and I have still to see an antidote.

Keary played for NSWCIS in 2010. While he made the Australian Schoolboys Union side the NSWCIS were flogged 70-6 by the NSWCHS. I would guess that until he went back to Griffith university in 2011 he was able to play in a side that better showcased his talents. It happens and particularly when a player is in a side that is walloped by big scores it is unlikely he will be seen.


More excuses. Obviously, Souths saw something in him and did you here Sterling's lament on losing him, another junior from our system again?

Too many have been ignored and gone onto bigger and better things and the excuses have worn way to thin.

Well lucky the recruitment bloke at the time is no longer at the club..

Just on the NYC squad, we have never played a full strength team all season, we have had on average 6 players missing from the squad all year,.. Last Sunday we rolled Melbourne with 12 players sitting in the sideline and went close to Brisbane the week before, we've basically used our second string squad all season.. Just sayin

I get all that Stagger, but every team has to deal with the same issues, but we have consistently lost most of our best players to other clubs, that is the real reason we are cellar dwellers and why we have ended up using so many juniors now throughout the other grades. Playing catchup now, but we still haven't addressed our number one issue in players weaknesses.

We need playmakers!!!

Next year we will have three halves and a hooker that starred in the under 20s - Sandow, Kelly, Norman and Peats.

Have some faith.

Yeah well, what has the new guy, who's not so new anymore, done to address this glaring problem. I for one haven't seen one new playmaker recruit that has me excited. Have you?

I do have faith that we will be a better team next year, barring any major injuries. But I still don't believe we have what it takes to address our weaknesses like the better clubs do.

Dockar-Clay carves up. Lussick apparently does so, and Bevan French comes with plenty of fanfare.

I really can't see him doing time, so as far as playing for us, unless the NRL slapped a ban on him, it wouldn't matter a sh*t.

Even if they did put some sort of ban on him, it isn't going to be anything that great, you can bet on that. ;-)

Well, he's trying pretty hard to add to his resume.....got caught driving while disqualified on Saturday.

What position does Darcy's brother play? Also how is Blake Harrison going after that waterskiing accident? He is supposed to be a gun halfback on par with Brooks and Keary.

The new guy has done more than you think, a playmaker has been am issue no doubt about it but has pushed Zac clay 18 months early into our system to try and fast track his development.. We have Troy Dargon and mick Doolan who are extremely talented currently playing in our ball squad and has picked up young bevan French who was well sort after by several clubs and can easily play in 3 of the 4 spine positions

We did lose Mitch Moses but like Hastings they were destined to play for the clubs where their father and uncle were legends... Infact we couldn't do anymore than what we did to keep Moses but uncle Ben had other plans for him
