Departing players confirmed last night. I'm not unhappy to see most of them go, aside from Tom and Cookie of course.

Not Kennar on the list is a bit strange though. Surely we're not re-signing him?

There are also rumours that we're re-signing Tass for three years, I'm happy with that. A bit iffy about the length of contract, sure, but re-signing him is great. He's not a star, but he is a really good squad player and a great depth player. I'm more than comfortable if he has to play next year at times, far better than options this year. Happy to see him stay.

Kennar is definately not being resigned, we really need speed we are a slug of a team,we need to pinch some young sgball players

Wonder how long Wayne will persist with Ello as the club's main R&R guy.

Problem with ello is he isnt full time recruitment, u need someone who travels everywere and watches every game he can and poaches and agitates every team and signs youngsters

The issue with Paix he was like 4th string dummy half, he clearly isn’t a good dummy half if players like Tyson smoothly was beating his for game time.
What have you seen that makes him better than PM ?

Everytime ive seen him he was fast and tricky

Yeah fair and he still only 24.

But my argument would be…
He has played 44 NRL games, he is a former jnr halfback turned dummy half. So should have great play making ability. He has only 1 try assist. We need someone that can help the attack.

now I will admit though his tackling efficiency is amazing though for a small sample size mainly off the bench, can he keep that up over 65min minimum a game?

There isn’t much coming through the system so he could be still a depth piece that could work out.

Oh believe me I’m not trying to shoot your idea down. And I agree Pete hasn’t stepped up and developed as much as we all hoped he would.
We do need to have some competition for him so he doesn’t get lazy.

That's why we got Humphreys I think. He will compete for the hooking spot because halfback is pretty well covered now. I really like the look of Humphreys. He looks sharp from the little I have seen.

Maybe. But for mine, we need a power prop rather than another worker prop. We missed out on Hunt but someone that has some real grunt is needed to replace Thomas.

 

[handyman2190]

Bennet like all coaches needs the right players to perform, at this stage, i dont see us getting anywere next year unless a winger and 2 props are signed, personally shaquea is just as bad as his brother injury wise and if he signs i hope its on basic wage.
Bennett needs to rocket the conditioning staff the traditional preseason holiday in the mountains must stop, and they need to be flogged, we were unfit until a third through the season,this contributed to injurys
