Rumoured and Confirmed Signings and Crap IX

[Eelementary]

Keep Ben Smith. He's awesome.

Was that a dig at me? Because if so, I know he was never a great attacking back-rower, but he's a shadow of his former self. He used to defend so well - now he seems lazy and uninterested.

He has to go.

Do people still think players like Frank Pritchard and Tolman would be bad signings ? That second rower that did his medial ligament tonight is also off contract. Frank N, can't spell his name.

For mine it is pretty clear from all of Ricky Stuart's press conferences that he has little confidence in the current group of players getting much better. So I think he has to have a complete clean out. We have to work out a way to some how get out of the contracts that Fui, Paulo, Matt Ryan, Ken Sio and Ben Smith are on for 2014.

Aiden Tolman is easily the best front rower off contract. I would pay overs for him.
I think Pritchard can offer something, depending on how much he would cost.

There seems to be plenty of players off contract. I think perhaps we should just try and target one club like the Dogs, or Canberra or Brisbane and just try and sign a large group of players from one team.

All 3 and or any 1 of them would do me, they are definate upgrades to what is running out on the park at the moment.

Tollman would be good pritchard no... we neef wingers ffs amd a hooker

Mannah is the only forward up to first grade standard from tonight's effort. Maitua is the only other who's looked like a first grader this season.

Just watched Ricky Stuart's post match conference. There will be a massive cleanout of biblical proportions.

I think Lussick has gone OK in all 4 games so far, but the last two weeks when he has come on the game has been over.

I think we should start him in the 13.

Beggars can't be choosers and Pritchard would be an upgrade to what is there at the moment.

I wonder what changed between half and full time?

Totally agree with Ricky...the players tried hard, but were not up to it against a very good team.
You can't win a Group 1 Race with a hack...

That's good, but who's he replacing them with? Within the next month or 2 you'd like to think that some signings will be announced, because it doesn't seem like there doing much. I could be wrong but I hope behind the scenes there going all out for some players, especially a solid back or 2, a few mongrel forwards and a hooker.

Very true you can bang on regarding new troops, but are they coming?

See us play over the last four weeks and now looking at that press conference I think we are a definate bottom 4 side. Sticky has little to no faith in the ability of the current squad. He has pretty much the mind set and this appears to have been sunk into the players that this is more about being part of the 2013 competition, not really to be successful. I think we can pack up for 2013....

That's right. At the moment we need to strengthen our forward pack desperately we can't afford to be too picky otherwise this same pack will be running around in 2014 again.
