Anyone who wants to whinge at having Richo onboard is kidding themselves, nobody knows Rugby League administration like he does, nobody has been around as long as him, before people start throwing stones have a think who you'd have as a replacement, who is available?

I tend to believe Richo when he says that our salary cap was a mess, i think with the limited funds we did have we've done well buying elite junior players, i think that these players getting a run throughout the yea along with talented 20s players getting a run in reserves & first is a significant plus for the future, i think we've seen some real positives come from what appears to be all negatives

I like Solly also, i think he & Rich will be judged ultimately in the next few years when we see the centre of excellence hopefully come to fruition & we see how our recruitment of young elite players comes to fruition, the fact that Seibold has a good track record bringing young players along is exciting also

As for Richo's future i think you can see the writing on the wall with the eventual promotion of Shannon Donato when the time is right, again, recruitment from within, someone who is aware of the culture, someone who has learnt from Richo, someone who loves the club
I'm LMAO!!!!!

Have you not watched the Cowboys, Roosters, Broncos, Storm and Panthers?????

We are so far behind these teams in key facets that it's just ridiculous.........

Our culture on the field and with our admin isn't clicking at all!!!!


Can't the loonies see we are down a winger and prop plus back up half???.......

If a couple of injuries hit I'd say we have one of the worst depth options to turn too out of all teams!!!!!

We should be chasing either Cornish or Jayden Nikorima off the Roosters........

The Roosters depth compared to us is just like wooooahhhhhhh........

They are clueless and a bit of what they said in the ask the bosses I found to be a bit arrogant....... especially from Richo.........

If I was there I'd have told him you can't rely on such an injury prone man to be back up half in Connor Tracy!!!!! The guy hasn't been on the field in a couple of years........ we can't just put Sutto back in the halves if injury hits........

Seriously..........

At prop we are short on depth too..........

It's a f**king shambles............



Look at George Burgess. He's physically not up for it currently..... sorry but it's the truth.......

If Tom or Sam get injured we'll we are gonna have to rely on the likes of Turner and Clark at prop and I'm sorry but these 2 wouldn't make it into any top 8 team and that's the harsh truth.......

Penrith are on the up and look how they gave us Robert and Burns well they ain't missing em..... they are laughing currently I can tell you that......

Now Hymel Hunt is either injured or suspended...... the guy doesn't get his hands dirty either and wouldn't make a top 8 squad......

Gosiewski we keep hoping for things from well he just keeps getting injured.......

Britt is not big enough.............


As for GI he says he wants to be fullback. Well I'm sorry but we just need him on the f**king field and his body can only handle centre.


Keep AJ at fullback.

Seibold is already gonna give GI fullback. Seibold needs to cut out his personal relationships with players like GI ffrom the maroons camp and the history there and make the right call. He needs to take charge and not let players do what they want that just doesn't benefit the team.......

Mr Seibold play AJ at fullback I repeat and dump Farah to Norths.

They are two musts...........

Richo basically believes that Souths have a top 8 squad. I don't know whether I agree with that tbh but he thinks we have the foundation to be a threat again next year.

Did anyone find out any rumours about who the actual player was that apparently said "thank god" after Madge left? I'm really curious. Maybe it's just a bullshit rumour though.

Yet they both have premiership rings...

I agree that our depth isn't where it needs to be but if our cap really is in the state we seem to believe it is, there isn't a whole lot that can be done about it until we free up some cash. Unfortunately we're going to have to be patient and bide our time a bit while we wait for some of the higer value contracts come to an end before we see any more real positive recruitment

We all know the squad is lacking but that's what happens when you sign forwards on lots of money and then they don't perform. What your answer because the cap is finite?

Richo basically believes that Souths have a top 8 squad. I don't know whether I agree with that tbh but he thinks we have the foundation to be a threat again next year.

Richo is a businessman what he says and what he believes are two different thing. He can't say the squad isn't a top 8 side as he knows the club needs to sell memberships for next season.

It's interesting that you see it as a bad look for the player, I don't see it as a bad look at all.

I don't really understand how Madge could've been so insane that somebody was actually happy to see him go, you know? I've had bad coaches but I've never said "thank god for that" if they've left. It kind of makes the player look like they don't have a good attitude? I don't know though just an opinion. Especially if they're blurting stuff like that out to the media.

I was wondering for some time if Madge was actually making the players depressed.

There you go again, Paul Green doesn't remind me of Madge at all.

If the rumours are correct apparently Paul Green is a real hard ass. Won't let his players attend christenings, parties etc as it doesn't contribute to the footy season. Obviously he's a better strategist than Madge but he's got the same hard, militant style.
