Taufua changed clubs 2011..

He played NYC for Manly in 2011. He obviously didn't show enough in 2010 (as a midget second rower) to warrant retaining him.

The blokes graduating had to leave because we were payimg millions to reserve graders....
Wake up!!!

The priority for 2012 was first graders, which Daniel Tupou wasn't at the time. We had Burt and Sio already on the books plus we brought in centres Blair and Esi Tonga who could both play wing. The last thing we needed was another reserve grade winger in our top 25.

Ava Seumanufagai was no loss. Tupou didn't impress in the NYC and we had bigger holes in our roster than backup wingers to fill in 2012.

Yes, we had to overpay state league players nobody else wanted. We were short on those!

Isn't this thread supposed to be about how crap Ricky is? I know we're forgiven for associating the 2, but let's get back to some Ricky bashin. In the unlikely event SK gets a head coaching gig ever again, we can start a new thread to laugh as he reels in another spoon.

(Isn't it in someone's logic that he who is emplyed again >> he who is not employed? Respin that one as well please to prove SK is somehow better than Sticky)

So they paid $220k for Matt Ryan but they got Manu Ma'u for $80k? It doesn't make sense mate. I'm sure blokes were overpaid (because we had to) but the numbers you were told and those reported in the media are total bullshit.

I was talking about Stuart. You're the one who brought Kearney back into it (and by extension Peter Nolan).

While I'm sure the Broncos have a lot of money to spend on assistant coaches, I'd say the sixteen head coaches in the NRL get paid more than them. Do you disagree?

I'm not gonna start putting shit on RS.
Watching him going through the gradual pains of NRL retirement or expulsion is bad enough.

$750k paying players who are in the UK or NRL ? On the surface it's a joke, but perhaps it was the right decision. This depends on who that player is. The exit of Matua, Ryan et all have certainly allowed a few young forwards to emerge.

$80K on a psychologist was money well spent ... a spoon and a player who nearly topped himself - go ricky!

and all of this under the greatest financial asset this club has ever had . . . . . ?

Regarding this clean-out by Ricky, does anyone know how it compares to the average turnover of an NRL squad from year to year? And the average turnover of wooden spooners? From memory, half the team were told to piss off but only 6 or 7 guys actually left.

Ricky Stuart too the rubbish out at your club and is part of the reason you guys are doing relatively well,some of you guys really need to stop the hate on Stuart he had valid reasons why he left to go back to canberra, you should thank him for what he did last year.

Im not sure why Ricky is seen as clearing out the dead wood.Nearly everyone on this forum would of taken same approach to the guys he sacked.

What about - Mossop (bung shoulder) Loko (bung attitude and knees) Santi (released)

Peats was a good addition. Will was signed prior.And Norman has been OK.Paid overs thou.
His player management is appauling

seeing you're the expert, what exactly were these 'valid reasons'?
for mine he could see the writing on the wall and jumped before he was pushed
