    2022 R19 Sun - North Qld 27-26 Wests Tigers @ QLD Country Bank

    Yep. Cowboys in the trough these days.

    Team vs whoever we're losing to next week

    Well at least we know the club isn’t satisfied with Clune as starting 7 in 2023. Good luck Phoenix. Admire the effort and it’s refreshing at the moment.

    Match Discussion: Round 19 vs Sydney @ McDonald Jones Stadium, New Lambton

    Gardner must step away. Every time he opens his mouth he either comes across as a muppet who doesn’t know footy, or as a snake businessman with the club as a plaything. Definitely not a man manager or leader of culture.

    I’ll take it over the alternatives

    Something very wrong with this club and I suspect it goes higher than AOB.

    Not sure I’d take Danika Mason’s words as gospel

    Sorry I don’t buy it. It was soft as. Maybe he does have a problem. But if this was Origin last week there is no way he would have come off for an HIA or shown any signs. He seems all too happy to milk injury and then fail the HIA early in a Knights game.

    Around the Grounds

    One key difference. Ciraldo is seen as the cool new kid on the block with a lot of hype. Players will want to be coached by him. He was a recent NRL player himself which won’t hurt either. AOB never had that. I would compare his signing more to Andrew Webster for the Warriors. Maybe a great...

    I don’t know if we release Clifford unless we sign another half.

    Rumoured Targets 3

    Good. At least we drove up the price for Bennett. Not sure what’s next. We have to be ready for a Clune and Clifford halves pairing as our 2023 base case. I don’t want to hear Brooks name.

    Klemmer’s contract ends next year. I haven’t heard any noise of us being desperate to extend him before November 1st when he can be approached by other clubs.

    Let’s see if Meninga picks him for the World Cup then.

    I have nothing against Klemmer but let’s be honest. He has gone from first-picked prop for Australia when we signed him, to not good enough for the extended NSW squad. Still gets paid like the best prop in the country though. He’s still got great stats though which papers over the issue.

    We got a different version of Klemmer

    I don’t think there’s been a single person suggesting we should throw big money at Milford.

    Rumoured Targets 3

    My hunch is the club has decided to be very public about AOB not handling recruitment because of the Isaac Moses smoke - have it on the record to avoid any potential accusations of conflicts of interest. He and a chunk of the squad are managed by Isaac Moses remember...

    Sack Adam O'Brien

    The brand was going the right direction under Brown. We landed guys like Ponga, Pearce, Klemmer, Brailey etc with Brown selling it. It wasn’t stale then. We now have more money and more facilities/resources with Wests than back then…but players running the other direction. It’s why we are stuck...

    Sack Adam O'Brien

    Yep. If nothing else, Brown was at least a very good salesman and could land signatures. AOB ain’t that. The club vibe which was on the up under Brown is now on the slide. Not ideal struggling to recruit when you can’t get the best out of the current roster. I think we need a facelift.

    Rumoured Targets 3

    I’m assuming the first upgrade was just the bare minimum so we could play him in first-grade.
