    How Much Damage has Hunt done to this Club

    I agree. I'm sure Webb and Flanno did some fancy talking to get Hunt to stay, including promises of a better squad, promises which have no hope of eventuating in 2024. You're not the only one having dark thoughts. I'm still trying to work out if Flannagan can turn things around, or whether he's...

    Flanno's New Signings

    If the plan was to work on improving the players we have, well and good, and I would have supported that plan. But it wasn't the plan. The plan was to get Manu, then Dearden and Connor Tracey then Wellsby and AFB and have Amone as backup. So the plan has failed dismally. And now we revert to...

    Flanno's New Signings

    I admire your optimism, but it hasn't been a day of mixed results. It's been an unequivocal disaster. Right now our back-up half/five-eight is Paul Turner. Let that sink in for a bit. At the start of the 2023 season, our forward pack was ranked the worst in the NRL by Fox Sports - and as of now...

    Not helping George. Last bloke de Belin guided ended up in a 2 year court case.

    How Much Damage has Hunt done to this Club

    I agree, let him leave. He'll play like those games last year after being told he won't be released. He won't have his heart in it. He hasn't attracted any other talent to the team. Piss him off.

    I understand the sentiment, but I wouldn't wish that on any player.

    Yep. Management can tart this up anyway they like, but we are obviously a club of last resort. Whether it's the club, the board, the location, or the coach, no decent player will come to us without a truckload of money. I expect our half-decent players will be looking for a way out. I await...

    We were doing better when Millward was in charge of recruitment . . .

    Flanno's New Signings

    The problem still remains though, our back-up halves are Paul Turner. That's it. That's all we have. We know Flanno wants another half, that's why he was talking to Dearden and Welsby, neither of whom are coming. This has a bad smell about it, and fans have every right to be concerned.

    OT: Merry Christmas 2023

    Merry Christmas Everyone. I've enjoyed the discussion, the pod casts, the speculation and hopefully next year we'll enjoy the results as well. This year I've decorated the tree with a red and white theme. Seems to work.

    Flanno's New Signings

    He's already better. He hasn't tied up a big chunk of the salary cap for starters.

    Amone guilty.

    He has a second chance. He's not in prison. But we don't have to emply him. He can go and get a job with someone else. Preferably somewhere he can learn some humility.

    I actually hope he goes OK. Just the change in club will do him good.

    They unsigned Luke Brooks. That's gotta be worth something.

    Not sure what's going on there, I always thought he was a pretty good winger. Played well when he went to the Storm too. Hard to know whether this is a Wests Tigers issue or a Nofoaluma issue. As far as Dragons are concerned though, my personal opinion is that you shouldn't buy a 30 year old winger.

    Coach Flanno

    Everyone's saying the right things, that's something at least.

    Don't go Gardenia. We need you both.

    That's gotta be a wind-up. He's never played League in his life. He was/is a potential All Black. And he could make a lot more money playing Union in France or Japan than we could offer. I'm not buying it.

    The Rumours Thread

    Fair enough, I just passed on what people told me, Cowboys aren't a team I take much interest in. I well remember that last state of origin game in 2022, that was where Dearden showed what he could do and what he's capable of. Doesn't mean he'd work out at St George though, he might need the...

    The Rumours Thread

    I'm not a big follower of the Cowboys, but I have friends who are. They've never said Dearden was the issue in 2023. They've thrown up plenty of excuses like Taumalolo being out with injuries, Chad having a bad year, and letting the Hammer go while hanging on to ageing players like Granville and...
