Surely we can get the Raiders or Broncos to chip in for them. We've helped them out by taking plenty of their duds over the years...

The NrL fund 100& of the salary cap. At other clubs they build to shelf fitness centres, emply top shelf coaching and fitness staff and of course have a great TPA connection.

So we have the same dollars each year as every other club to fund the salary cap.

Our club does not employ good coaches, recruitment staff or fitness staff.

Management have allowed the great St George club culture to disappear and not worry about this in the least.

I say it is a MESS and so we need a cleanout.
A high-performance centre is a must for this club. They also need to move on from the AFL coach leading the unit.

It is now far too late for Dufty, Field and most probably Sailor to be taught how to tackle properly. this needed to be done by the time they are ready for selection to CC.

Don't see why it's too late- players learn all sorts of skills at all ages. In Rugby in particular, there are technical specialist coaches who work with front rowers, hookers etc and these are ongoing sessions working on scrummaging technique etc even at elite Wallaby level.

The issues I have with Dufty, Field and Sailor are their body types which are just not right for modern back three positions. Meanwhile, the rumours are that Norman got panned in Gus 'review. so we need to be cultivating some young talent for the 5/8 role as the club may decide he is a better full-back.

Just let them go, neither Dufty or Aitken are up to it and Mary can't get them there.

For 2020
Lomax to right centre
Recruit a good fullback
Recruit a good winger
Unfortunately our recruitment of late has not been earth shattering and recruiting a ‘good’ fullback and winger might be easier said than done. Look at our buys in the backs this year.
