    2024 Squad List

    There hasn’t been much difference between the output and influence of Russell v Debelin since he’s been in. A couple more dropped balls, a few less sin bins but generally solid.

    Coach Flanno

    This year, Tedesco has looked like a kind of speedy second rower trying to play like Tedesco. He's lost his youthful elusiveness, and hasn't evolved his game like ageing speedsters need to. He's also a Roosters legend, who Politis will find a job with a big salary in the club or his business...

    In terms of opportunity, since he re-signed in 2020, we have chosen to play Norman, Bird, Mbye, and Amone ahead of him (in addition to Hunt). And for what? Poor results, boring football, and probably losing a great talent.

    ‘the promise of opportunity and development as half’. Read again man. It’s common knowledge. If you can’t acknowledge the club has grossly mismanaged the development of this bloke you don’t have much credibility in this discussion.

    Two. After signing in 2020 with the promise of opportunity and development as half which hasn’t been honoured due to the ineptitude of McGregor, stupidity of Griffin and immaturity of Hunt. So yeah, I reckon pretty patient from Bud, completely inept mismanagement by the club over a long period...

    He was told by Griffin that he wasn’t the half, and needed to bulk up to get back into first grade, which he did. He’s been screwed around by the club for years, while they’ve used him in almost each membership drive since 2020. He’s been patient and gracious. We’ve just chosen to bet on an...

    Hunt has asked for a release

    The Dragons are coming last. We have literally nothing to lose by hanging onto him. Other clubs want him for their run to the finals/to have a doofus hooker-who-doesn't-want-to-play hooker. They can't just surrender that leverage.

    The meeting obviously contributed to the action and timing today. Is there a plan to have ongoing meetings?

    Sack Griffin

    Everyone that makes a first grade multi-million dollar team sport is elite. The coach and leadership shapes and prepares the team. Griffin has been woefully inadequate in every department, from his commencement in a blaze of racist nonsense, to the attempt to sign Folau, to stacking the team...

    Poor old fella. Just got in early to make some brekky for Hunt and gets the sack.

    It’s being reported they’ve pulled the trigger and he was seen driving away

    I’m not a member. I wrote to Webb to cancel after Griffin’s racist Twitter crap, asked if he reckoned this was the guy to rebuild a club culture around, and said I’d sign up again when he goes. But if anyone is going and looking for a question can I offer: ‘Griffin’s treatment of Sullivan on...

    Sack Griffin

    Hunt has publicly and repeatedly said he ‘doesn’t want’ to play 9. No consideration of what might be best for the team. It has been obvious for years that 9 is his best position. It has also been obvious that Sullivan needs to play more and is the future half. I agree that these decisions are...

    Sack Griffin

    💯. I’ve tuned out a bit emotionally because we have clearly been indulging Griffin (and Hunt’s) fantasies while travelling worse than ever, being horrible to watch, and waiting for the board to do something. But the treatment of Sullivan is enraging. 1. It made no strategic sense. Every single...

    Sack Griffin

    Coach leads team to 11th, 10th and last. Changes obviously needed. Lawrie: "He's done a hell of a job and hasn't changed the way he approaches anything in any way, shape or form." It’s probably a tough question to be asked, but a new coach can’t come quick enough
