I think ponga’s dad had a big say

Certainly he’s doing something similar in Newcastle

Your point is valid though

Look at who we chose to retain
You’re right, and if cowboys did match Newcastle’s offer they would have had to offload more players whilst Thurston was still playing (even though It was only one season). You couldn’t keep JT x 2 plus Morgan and Ponga on big contracts for even a season unfortunately

This is the trouble with winning the comp.
He took over a squad that was primed for a title and he did a good job in the short term to reverse some of the mental deficiencies to have the team playing to its potential, but as time goes on his limitations are more apparent. Maybe he just needs help with roster management and some ways to evolve the style of play.

Barba was unlucky and we would have liked to have had him but by now most teams have at least one key player injured or in bad form so it should be of less consequence by now.

That’s what I mean

There seems to be no overarching defensive or attacking strategy that the second string players can come into the side and follow like the top teams eg storm and rooster have

The whole club regressed last year during Thusty's farewell tour.
