Recruitment & Player Retention

Just flicked through big league at work and flanno is saying they are focusing on retention rather than recruitment as outside backs on the market aren't any better than what we have. Seriously. Also no briscoe.

Our backs are bottom 4 level and there's no one out there better'

I would suspect that coach Flanno is keeping his cards closely to his chest and would have no reason to be giving away privileged information to the media. As the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy said to us "Don't Panic".

SKD can only get worse, whilst Wighton can only get better.

With respect Cardy that is rubbish. Players don't lose ability. They lose confidence, motivation, commitment but not ability. He's an international and has been International centre of the year. He doesn't fit in at the Roosters for whatever reason and it shows in his game. Fix the man and you fix the player

Am I the only one who is cool with asotasi?
31 non origin big game player.
Big unit.

No. I'm Ok with Roy.

lets get one of them burgess.

Tom is off contract

Why is everyone putting hope on fifita 2.

Like aus has said he hasn't proven anything. He hasn't even played a game for reggies yet.

The bloke has been drinking wine and eating cheese while playing Jim beam cup standard football. I can't see him being anywhere near first grade for at least a dozen games, and he would want to dominate those.

Asotasi fills the senior front rower role that Ross is now. The past month Ross has looked a bit slow and worn. Sure he does what is needed, but ...
Whether Roy does that better, perhaps. He prob looks a bit fitter, younger. His years off with injury helpedore than Ross's did.

I actually don't really care who stays or comes, I just want a decent dummy half.

He's also not even on the books for 2014.

Similar to how he wasn't after Carney, Ryan, Heighington, Lewis.

They stopped talking to Briscoe months ago.

Too right he is.

Frenzy, my point with SKD is he's gotta be getting on a bit . How old is he?

We run the risk of being dads army. That's why I am against the resigning of Tupou & letting Peachey go.

Flanagan has a pretty good record in picking up players still on contract.

The weaknesses in the side are obvious. He is looking to strengthen outside backs especially centre. SKD is going ordinary right now but has lots of ability and most importantly can beat a man to create opportunities.

We also lack zip in 7 and 9 and only have one ballplayer (Carney). Not sure if these areas will be addressed. Another ballplayer in 1 or 7 would take some focus away from Carney. Now, if you shut Carney down, you shut down our attack.

SKD is 25

That all...plays like 35.

If Flanno can't get pom 's f**ked up head right, I don't think he will get SKD back to his best.

Ok, lets get SKD - the more options in the 3/4s, the better. I'm an (ex) pom fan , do I should be able to put up with him.

SKD runs Carney lines. He won't butcher the space that Carney creates like Pom does.

Clients buy their own systems these days and have them all networked and online.
I log in and load my companies program.
Some use raid
Depending on who their techie is.

We deal with HP quite a bit , they have some good shit .
Big servers that die , you can just pull the hard disk out and whack it in another one and off you go again.

A few years ago that would have been a four day turn around.

I have used the G-Parted technique, but I don't think that is what you are talking about:sarcasm:

My imagination has gone into meltdown
