    Match Discussion: Round 8 vs Melbourne @ McDonald Jones Stadium, New Lambton

    our junior system has been broken for a long time, we let go guys like Cordner, Latrell, Jock Madden, Hudson Young, Tom starling, etc and keep around the guys that no one else is interested in. Its going to take more than a new coach to fix things, this club is so broken it needs to be rebuilt...

    Gardner is as safe as can be. Gardner is CEO of wests and has been for 25 years, only way he isn't ceo is if he decides to relinquish the job and focus on his commitments with wests. What i do trust with Gardner is that he's a businessman first and foremost and will approach it from that...

    Match Discussion: Round 8 vs Melbourne @ McDonald Jones Stadium, New Lambton

    You're pointing to a tiny sample size as some sort of indicator. Roosters have shown they aren't the contenders they were built up to be and tigers actually outplayed us but had everything go against them. There is a difference between being poorly coached and a lack of actual ability, in the...

    who is coaching those players? Who signed/re-signed those players? I mean if i were a business owner and chose the most incompetent people to work for me and didn't train up and manage those people adequately and as a result the business failed who's fault is it really?

    Match Discussion: Round 8 vs Melbourne @ McDonald Jones Stadium, New Lambton

    so guys like Fitzy, Hoy, Saulo, Mann, Crossland, Randall, Johns, etc are so good that all wete off contract for a long time and literally had no suitors? Don't you think if it were purely a coaching issue other coaches might have been interested? i think you're underselling how dire the...

    yes culture and coaching are clearly big issues but you cant look at a club with the likes of Clune, Randall, Crossland, Jones, Johns, Saulo, etc and say playing talent isn't an issue.

    yep, AOB has done such a terrible job squad wise its too big an ask for an unproven coach

    Match Discussion: Round 8 vs Melbourne @ McDonald Jones Stadium, New Lambton

    can't wait for the press conference. If storm were playing a half decent team next week i'd actually tip them to lose, teams actually gain nothing from beating us, we're so bad that it actually makes them complacent. Last week Parra scored tries so easily they forgot what to do when a team...

    Bellamy wouldn't sit still and go into a season with a squad which clearly isn't good enough, he'd build a much stronger squad by picking the eyes out of qld cup talent and undervalued pieces from other clubs. AOB would probably let Munster walk and replace him with Crossland as if that were a...

    if AOB isn't to blame than who is? Brown left a half decent squad to build off, AOB has failed miserably to strengthen the squad

    Clifford is a good foil in a spine with 3 other good pieces, we're asking him to be a game winner with nothing else happening around him. Clifford is legitimately our best half by far, for more half the teams in the comp hes in reserve grade

    i mean you sound surprised? we were literally down by 30 last week and 80% of our sets were 5 run out runs, the other 20% were hit ups one off the ruck

    Match Discussion: Round 8 vs Melbourne @ McDonald Jones Stadium, New Lambton

    most people picked us to finish around 10th-14th (12th being a pretty popular pick), looking back now they were being overly generous. Lets put things into context we've won 2 games all year, against a roosters team that has subsequently shown in recent weeks they're not a contender and can be...

    Match Discussion: Round 8 vs Melbourne @ McDonald Jones Stadium, New Lambton

    was exactly the same last week even when we were chasing points and was exactly the same as last year. This team has become a robotic, its almost as if there's no objective to scorr points or win the game but rather just have high comopletions and get through the set regardless of scoreline and...

    Rumoured Targets 3

    To be fair no one really wants Fitz and Hoy but management completely screwed uo in the off season by failing to build a strong squad and those players are a better alternative to other players no one wanted. People wanted Hoy when Clune was out because Crossland was the alternative who no other...

    2022 R8 Sat - Canterbury 16-12 Sydney @ Accor

    Tedesco is 110% effort but he's playing abit too individualistic for mine, not in tune with team mates, Papi exact opposite

    2022 R8 Sat - Canterbury 16-12 Sydney @ Accor

    yep, keary and Walker just can't seem to mesh, Teddy is doing his best but I feel like hes sort of disjointing the attack as the rest of the team don't seem to know what he's doing and there is zero attacking threat out of dummy half

    2022 R8 Sat - Canterbury 16-12 Sydney @ Accor

    probably the worst performance the roosters have put in in the past 3 seasons, 58% completion rate in the 2nd half, 1 kick out on the full, 1 penalty that failed to find touch, kick off out on the full, about 5 or 6 forward passes that weren't called. The way the roosters play they need strike...
