How 2015 Is Shaping Up

[Jono Russell]

It's a squad that has a lot of potential.

If Fafita and Graham get back in form
If Brown, Gagan, Leutele and Feki all improve further after a full pre season.
If Gordon has a big year
If Gal and Lewis (and rest of team) stay fit
And if we get good service from Ennis and Robson

If all the above happen we could do something special with that squad.

 

[Quigs]

Won't go anywhere without an exceptional halfback or a 5/8.

The modern game requires it.

 

[george43]

That is an appallingly weak squad

They are gonna go ok

 

[Card Shark]

That is an appallingly weak squad

Bit harsh

 

[shaggs]

Bit harsh

Not really

 

[Card Shark]

We'd have gone a lot better if we didnt start the season with 1/2 a team out (how does that happen?) & finish with a full team out.

I'm prepared to cut em some slack over that.

There are plenty of reasons for optimism next season

Mostly because jack bird is playing for the sharks. Am I right?

Agreed. Huge problem in the halves.

Won't do any different next year unless we buy some halves. Geez, bring Todd back if it's our only option. I just want to see one premiership, I don't care who's playing for us.

Good luck buddy - tough gig.

Selfish. Can't you just be content with eternal mediocrity?

I can't recall a time when a premiership seemed further away.
won't happen in the next 3 years.

 

[The Popper]

That game against the Cowboys put a smile on my face that I haven't had for a long, long time. Perhaps, just perhaps, the young blokes coming through will mature together and give us a formidable side like the ones we had starting in the 70's and then in the 90's. Maybe our good team happen every 20 years or so?

 

[Since 73]

There's talent there for sure.

But top 4 - 6 need an X factor.
Souths without inglis or storm without Cronk or cowgirls without Thurston .... They would all come way back to the field despite their other talent.

Carney was ours.

He had a shit year.

We had a shit year. Obviously many other factors as well contributed.

Gallen chews up a lot of dollars which a match winner should/could be paid.
He is an enforcer. An inspirer.
Not a matchwinner.

Cant see us making semis..... But a good year injury wise could lay a good platform for 2016.

But we need to get a Hunt or Shaun Johnson or unearth a young gun.

The MAIN problem l see is our young talent being developed or utilised properly.

Flanno is a sticky clone - wants to buy 'firstgraders' and cannot identify nor bring talent thru.
These pups who have been impressing?....they will slot straight back behind the ayshfords next year.

Unless....

 

[MaxPower]

Flanno will clear out the fresh branches and bring in some dead wood soon enough.
