    Little Sarah Matterson, if memory serves me. She'd be old enough to drink now. Hope her bin juice takes have improved a bit since.

    Sack Adam O'Brien

    Easily our best coach of the post-Johns era. Daylight second. God I used to love his press conferences. What a weird genius. Failing to sign him to a longer term deal was a true sliding doors moment for the club. Will never get the credit he deserves in the history books due to the missing trophy.

    Why would we want a bloke that the Kurri Kurri Bulldogs deemed wasn't good enough for them?

    Neither Smithy or Bennett hung around to finish the job.

    If we were to be honest with ourselves and look across the entire competition of coaches... we'd have to have the least desirable coach in the NRL to play for right? Bottom 3 for sure. Like if there were a player poll conducted to rank the coaches they'd like to play for, most to least, he'd be...

    Who said the cap is fine, or are you shadow-boxing ghosts? It's pretty clearly clapped out. I think the most disappointing part of it is that this for sure rips the team apart morale wise. We're absolutely in full rebuild territory now, so the next 24 months are a write-off and AOB does get his...

    Well no, he'd be taking a paycut on future earnings, not writing a cheque. He turns 28 this year and DCE doesn't have long left. He wants to win a premiership, and the cap space would help them. I can certainly believe those conversations may have taken place.

    You're supposed to handle it behind closed doors, not yapping to journalists. That's what a professional does anyway. It's not a good look to go chirping to the media about it, and it only gets up the arse of supporters that have watched him having a bludge for the last few years (like myself)...

    Wow, what a stellar leader of the club. Wants a contract EXTENSION to move on. The hide of this f**ker, to bludge his arse off for years and then dig his heels in when told it's not good enough.

    Just another thought on this while I'm at it. Fitz was almost as annoying as DSaf for mine in that his hot run of form really kicked off once he'd already been tapped on the shoulder and shopped around. We were all pretty happy to see the back of him, and then suddenly he was playing the house...

    We're playing our entire backrow wrong as far as I can see. It's time next year for Friz to move to the middle (more a team need than a slight on Friz, he's a beast) and to put Lucas on the left and switch KPP to the right. Blind Freddy can see this is the way forward.

    I'd definitely argue he's been missed for sure, and I thought we all said he would be based on last years form. Last year was by far Lachie's best year. The hope was that KPP would eventually grow into a higher ceiling (and also, Fitzgibbon maintaining that form was hardly a given). But yeah...

    Heaps of us have been saying it for years, but Kalyn should have never been made captain. He was way too young, and wouldn't know the first thing about settings standards and culture. He's a pretty good kid and sets a good example personally I think, but he's too easy going to be the guy that...

    Tbh I agree with most of what you said but it's plain as day that DSafs form flipped on a dime the moment he was tapped on the shoulder. Money or otherwise, the tap woke him up. Too little, too late. It does seem pretty obvious that there's some unrest in the playing group. Where that's coming...

    Well Sam Walker stands to be the biggest earner in NRL history, so I understand him going to market. It's understandable for the big names to do so - and I don't even knock our club for Kalyn doing so more recently either. Ultimately yeah I agree, honestly I'm happy to let Leo walk if it comes...

    Well he's clearly lost faith in the process. He's been in the leadership group himself for a while now (a leadership group that seems to include half the damn squad I might add - ridiculous). If Leo believed in the direction we were heading, he'd have signed by now. It's a constant with us tbh...

    This is such a damning indictment on our club and how the players feel in the group tbh. Good clubs can get deals done before players hit the open market, especially with 2nd and 3rd tier players (i.e not elite players).
