We are back to the 2009/2010 days.

Seriously. No sponsor, a coach under pressure and not real lure to come here.

It will be about recruiting squad players again to remain afloat unless a miracle happens.

Hodkinson rejected a huge offer from us. Maloneys manager won't return our calls. Sezer isn't keen. Sandow will re-sign.

TC is not going to come back. Our actual best shot at a halfback is Albert Kelly, who is starting to look like he is eating Owen Craigie.

Even Chad Townsend doesn't want to return.

Tough times ahead. We face the very real prospect of fighting off a low finish in our 50th season instead of aiming for a premiership.

Thanks CB. Sounds good. Best option a fat Albert! What do you mean 'even Chad Townsend'? What does he owe Flanno?

It's not all bad.. If they got serious and hired someone like Johns to come in and help develop Tracey. He is a gun, a local junior and could be anything.

Agree work to develop Tracey, sign Elgey from Titans, you hire someone like Johns to work with them both, we are due to have some luck with halves.

Foran/DCE were no names when started

Is the sponsor issue & player recruiting linked, are the both not want to be associated with Flanno ?

It feels like we have the potential to become a little bit like the Roosters back in the day.... the exit lounge they used to call it, right?

Retirement fund.

High profile/ name players, past their peak abilities and in decline relative to others, securing a cozy work environment for two to three years to line the coffers before they finish up.

Fg I hope not.

Sponsor issues have nothing to do with Flanno.

Recruitment sucks because we dont have a recruitment officer.

Recruitment sucks ???

In the past 3 - 4 years we have signed Luke Lewis , Michael Gordon , Andrew Fifita , Todd Carney , Michael Ennis , Ben Barba - all NRL superstars.
+ Chris Heighington , Beau Ryan , Jeff Robson , Blake Ayshford , Kyle Stanley , Gerard Beale , Bryce Gibbs - all proven above average NRL players at other clubs.
+ attracting exciting young prospects such as Val Holmes , Sio Feki , Jack Bird.

The problem is not recruitment , it's getting the players to perform & play as a team once they're here.
