If Hagen goes and buys players and loses juniors like Mateo, Inu and Hayne then imagine the uproar. Look at the reaction to williams leaving. Dammed if you do and dammed if you don't.

It's hard to support someone you don't rate.
He has given us no reason to support him with the teams he has picked this season and the players he has signed since joining the club.

Add to that a lack of attacking game plans and an ignorance that our forwards need to create second phase to keep us competitive.

those guys were signed up for before we lost Tim, Pig and by the looks of it Chad. not to mention losing PJ at the end of last year because of salary cap pressure, yet we find money to re-sign Wagon for this year. we can't purchase from outside of our club for the second year in a row yet we aren't performing this year.

williams leaving is like the straw that broke the camels back as far as fan reaction is involved. hey, he might not develop into the player expected but it would at least be nice to see if he could do it here.

We aren't doing anyting this year and we aren't buying or retaining to strengthen us for next year...:crazy:

geez some people are very upset.

a few points-

- hagan took us to within a game of the gf last year. yes this year we are doing crap but every coach will tell you that there are ups and downs through their career (even wayne bennett)

- someone made a point about losing hayne, inu and mateo under hagan. he was the reason those three stayed at parra.

- i think stagger was right that we aren't spending up to our cap to preserve money based on the fact we are letting go of some blokes on big money and still can't keep a player like tony williams, though df's statement explains that. can't really pay overs for a player that hasn't played nrl yet (though he probably should've by now).

- our club, like many others needs to look at ways of making money from sources other than pokies. it's sounding like a broken record but this should've been looked at by the brains trust back when the super-league war first started raping our game.
