Gus has made so many bad decisions. Plenty of good ones too. But they shouldnt get him off the hook for the bad ones. All the bad ones were easily identified at the time they happen too. Many were happy to give him the benefit of the doubt. But in the long run the questionable decisions proved to be poor ones.
Anthony Griffin is a dud coach
Peta Hiku was a stupid signing. I said it at the time. Massive waste of money on a position we had plenty of options in. Now we are making room for an average player in the team because we were dumb enough to pay overs for him. Not his fault... it was a terrible signing by us.
Tim Browne was a waste of a spot. I don't care what he signed for. He's wasting a top 25 spot and is no better than the likes of Akauolo, Kikau and Leota. When we have RCG, Tamou and Latu in our top 17, our last prop needs to be a beast with impact. Not an enferior version of what we already have.
James Tamou... He's a good player but not worth half what we paid him. Paul Vaughn would have been a shitload cheaper and he is 5 times the player. Just like Peta Hiku it was a terrible decision to spend big money on an overrated player.
The retention at Penrith has been amazing. The recruitment is impressive in a sense (luring big names), but the players serve no purpose other than adding big names to our roster. They dont actually improve it or identify a weakness.
Our biggest is hooker. We have Wallace and no one else. Not a damn thing has been done to improve the situation. We arent trying to convert our surplus rom another position. We havent tried to sign a promising young talent or even shown any signs at developing one of our young guys. An injury to Wallace and we are deadset f**ked... moreso than we already have been.
