Actually Joseph, if you've seen the movie Red Dawn, I'll be like The Wolverines, waging a guerilla war against your Commie forces and emerging victorious.

Capitalist American propaganda - do you know that John Wayne didn't win the war - for starters he wasn't even in it.

Mate it all boils down to us giving him the 3 years. Other clubs can throw big bucks at him but he's only looking for the security of a longer deal. We do that and he'll be going nowhere. If anyone has earned that it most definitely is Reyno. He's always given his all for the club, it's the clubs turn to give back to him. The club can earn a tonne of goodwill from the fans if they do the right thing here.

Yeah.

I’m a 100% club > player fan.

Tedesco leaves, I still hate the roosters like any other sane person and he’s a lost cause.

But Renno is a cult figure, a legend, the backbone of the club...and still platinum.

And it’s very poor form from the club to argue the toss.

It lacks respect, foresight, care for fans, does the members a great disservice, it’s not even economically viable, it sends a chilling message to other players that loyalty means nothing. No more players tolerating unders. Souths becomes a transition instead of a destination club ( like us).

Rennos been loyal and an integral and critical part of the enchanting club revival. A foundation player of this competitive era. An asset and a player other players aspire to be like and play with.

The situation has divided the club, the playing group and taken the gloss off the game.

Solly doesn’t have a clue. The club is sleepwalking into dark days ahead.

And it saddens me that a lot of your club celebs are in hiding. People are in fear and won’t stand on their feet.

They need to sit down and listen to your anthem and take stock. Feel the words.

It might be up to George again. He shouldn’t have to reach out especially at the moment, but the club calls him and all die hards to muster. Your finest hour.

There is a thing called a salary cap if you sign Walker and Reynolds on multi year deals - for 2023 you will have 14 players signed and only 2 million for 16 more players @125k per player for your 30 player squad - Bennett has done the same thing he did at the Dragons and Knights at your club- high priced players taking up a significant amount of the cap and the bulk on low pay to fill the roster -whether up to NRL or not - take you many years to get out of that mess he will leave you in.

Another $5 from Nick lol.

You’re a rorter spy. Let the bunnies have their civil war without any outside influences.

Unless of course, you join team Renno.

Internationale!

Like i said above -salary cap - you sign both Walker and Reynolds on multi year dears for the 2023 you will have 14 players signed and 2 million to sign another 16 players - mark my words Bennett left the Dragons and Knights in a mess because of his recruitment - too many high priced players and then the new coach having to fill the bulk of the squad with low paid players whether up to NRL standard or not. Lack of development as well.

Yeah well I’m Renno> Walker.

And a tigers fan.

That f**ks your whole argument and blocks the road to Kursk.

Spring has sprung early this year and the Tiger tanks will be rolling into Leningrad soon enough once the gasoline starts to melt.

Renno> Walker.

Who's John Wayne? Oh, you mean Marion Morrison. Of course he didn't win the war. He was too busy gunning down the bad guys on the streets of Dodge City. In Red Dawn it was Charlie Sheen,Patrick Swayze and C Thomas Howell who were kicking the butts of you Russkies. If you're going to proclaim it as propaganda at least get your facts straight.

What id like to know is why we have infiltrators constantly on our site? Is their forum inferior? Are they closet rabbitohs??
Taking up space talking nonsense, mocking. Whilst visitors dropping by every now and then, is ok, this constant presense .... its beginning to be a joke.

Poor old Stalin loves domination so it makes sense that he would try to worm his way into the forum of the club who have dominated his mob for their entire existence. As for the recent Gummy interlopers, they turned up hoping to gloat when they thought they had nabbed Reyno. However if Mixo is right, the joke is well and truly on them and they will soon be slinking off with the sound of all of us laughing at them ringing in their ears.

Don’t know about you guys but I can’t even understand half the dribble these visitors are trying to say
It’s NRL not uni ffsake this is not the place to try to impress with big words keep it real or F off
That’s my two bobs worth
As far as Reynolds goes I would love him to stay and become a one club legend but whatever happens will I’m not too concerned
Remember back to charity shield 2020 second half we fielded all the young guys same as trial against Eels and a younger faster more aggressive half called Blake Taffe ripped them a new asshole he was ready back then if he doesn’t get a run soon he plus the other young guns will be poached

Awesome mentality. Out with the old and in with the new. We have a bunch of quality players to make Taafe's transition not as difficult as it would be at other clubs.

I read the article about Fittler fully expecting there to be an asterix where he said "get more ruthless, except when it's a Roosters player"

Ive said it in past posts,im gona say it again, i dont feel our front office performs, the fact we have offered bennet a director type role exhibits the fact we are 1 sharp shooter administrator, a recruit/ negotiator/ cap controler short. We miss richo!
Solly has always struck me as a admin contrller, he may have some cap awareness, but has no feeling no heart. Elo is great as team manager but again not good enough for the top job.
Also our recruitment, and i mean identifying youngsters, not in our system,a recruiter, finding, poaching, from other clubs lower grades. We lack big wingers, eg fijian or NZ, props, etc here we are recruiting crocks who come with injurys,cartwright, moga, etc we need to get better.

I feel your pain fellow bunnies hard to watch that , some of them had a go out there but against that team you need the top 17 fit n firing even then it’s only a chance they are the benchmark still I say better this year with grant unbelievable
Anyway that’s our low for the season a couple more weeks of pain and we get troups back we just need to limit the points over next 2-3 games for n against will kill us .......that was pretty shit but fellas
Why on earth was Marsters and Benji together every try the fox scored was virtually untouched it’s nrl that was not nrl level I’m sorry to say

Dont be sorry,your 100% right, ive said before marsters isnt up to it, now ill say cartwright isnt either, burns hasnt played for 300 days and is expected to cope? Our defence on the edges is miserable,until thats fixed we got no chance,watch the next 4 games

As I said in the other thread, I told you guys at the beginning of the year we are short on backs, and that was before we signed Mansour. We could have got JAC, he was desperate to come to Souths. Just about every back outside of the normal starting line up is not up to first grade standard.

And we've made crazy signings and now we won't be able to keep any of the guys we should be keeping. Cartwright 3 years - madness, Knight 4 years - madness, Marsters will be gone, Milne always injured why did we sign him? Moga a moron, even Tatola for 3 years was risky, should have signed him for 2. At least Sua will save us money when we let him go, unless more madness takes place.

Yep, that window is closed after this season and may already have closed

George Jennings, who was one year, our top try scorer, looks like an immortal compared to our garbage backup backs.

We've made some big mistakes in recruitment, and its starting to cost us now. Jennings couldn't even get minimum wage, but then we get Ethan Lowe instead. Burns always injured so we put Lowe in the centres, and he is woefully outgunned, so then we get James Roberts, who has always been a suspect defender, and eventually has to be dropped because his D is so bad, so we put Douehi in there for a while, but then he is let go, then we put Cartwright out there, and then someone thinks he can actually play centre so we sign him for 3 more years.

The days of putting edge fowards as centres is over, has been for 5 years at least. Centres gotta be FAST, have steeping footwork, ball handling/passing skills.

When Gagai leaves we better have something up our sleeves in recruitment, because we gonna really regress.
