    Rumoured Targets 3

    For the record, I think we’ve got the components of a good NRL finals level spine with KP and Brailey but we really need to upgrade one of either Hastings or Gamble (or both). Both were good last year but Hastings looks busted and who knows if he’ll ever be physically up to it as an NRL player...

    Rumoured Targets 3

    I definitely think you’re being pretty harsh on Brailey there, here’s my reasoning as to why. IMO if he didn’t have a couple of long term injury layoffs in the last few years I reckon he would have earned himself an origin jersey by now. The three best hookers in the comp imo are Harry, Egan...

    Rumoured Targets 3

    I can’t really agree with you with regards to Brailey, there aren’t many good hookers on the market and Brailey has a really sharp skill set but we haven’t seen much of it due to injuries which has been his main downfall. But skill wise I think he’s up there with some of the elite guys. Elliott...

    Rumoured Targets 3

    Missing out on Turuva doesn’t bother me too much, he’s a good player but I don’t think he’d necessarily be a big upgrade on Tuala and we probably need to be looking for a bigger bodied winger who can be an aerial threat, which we seriously lack now that Young is gone. Realistically we need to...

    Rumoured Targets 3

    I think as far as our cap is concerned, DSaf is the biggest issue. He’s on massive $$$ and is playing like a reserve grader. I think JSaf has been solid for a couple of years but sometimes gets lumped in with his brother in the waste of space category. The biggest issue is when these guys both...

    Rumoured Targets 3

    I’m not sure where the “Best doesn’t have a passing game” thing has come from. He’s actually got a good pass on him, his tip-ons are accurate and he’s able to offload to his winger one handed whilst engaged with a defender. He’s been on a big upward trajectory for 18 months now and the main...

    Be careful what you wish for Yosh. Yeah there’s plenty of people out there who would put their hand up to get paid $500K+ per year to coach an NRL team but sacking AOB for literally anyone else isn’t the way to go. If the right coach becomes available then sacking him should be considered but...

    Match Discussion: Round 8 vs Dolphins @ Suncorp Stadium, Milton / Yuggera-Turrbal

    Can someone copy and paste it in here?

    I feel like we’re both making the same point in different ways. Premiership winning teams tend to have the best rosters but a great coach certainly helps. If we’re sacking AOB then we need to appoint someone who actually has shown evidence of being capable of turning a struggling club around.

    For the record, I wonder if Brad Arthur is feeling the pressure at the Eels? Outside of the top guys who aren’t likely to be looking for a job anytime soon, I think he’s an option that the club would need to consider if he became available (IF they decide to punt AOB) I’m sure I’ll get shouted...

    It just isn’t that simple Yosh. I don’t think a caretaker coach for 12 games is great and then you’re looking for a coach in a coaching market where there aren’t many options and signing someone without giving them much time to make any serious moves before 2025 rolls around. And you don’t...

    Let’s not forget that we brought one of the all time great coaches here (arguably the greatest coach of all time if you go off his record) in Wayne Bennett and even he wasn’t able to get this club performing consistently. After what happened with Bennett I wouldn’t even feel confident in Bellamy...

    As if you wouldn’t take a 3 time premiership winning coach if he became available and for some reason wanted to coach at the Knights… if Robinson signed with us right now you’d be praising the club for it just like the rest of us. Robinson annoys me with some of the stuff he says but so do most...

    Maguire didn’t come across at strong or confident by the time the Tigers were through with him though, and our club has some similar issues as they’ve had, big name players overpaid and not performing, lack of toughness and lack of leadership. Maguire certainly delivers a spray or two when...

    Sack Adam O'Brien

    So who would be a slam dunk option to replace him? It’s basically the same coaches available as this time last year and I wasn’t overly convinced by any of them then and I’m still not. John Morris is the only one who I would seriously think about because I thought he did a good job with the...
