what kids are going to step up next year? honestly - who? i am not sure

Hopefully;

Ken Sio
Vai Toutai
Troy Savage
Karl Filiga
Daniel Mortimer
Tom Humble
Matthew Eisenhuth
Marmin Barba
Peni Terepo
Ava Seumenafagi (if he stays)
Pat O'Hanlon
Jason Seage
Rory Brien
Jacob Gagan
Daniel Tupou

A few others.......our juniors are looking much better this year and for next year.

I don't know...I honestly don't know.

the same people who told me that things could be happening are now telling me that the books for our fulltime squad are closed, however in saying all that in reality only 3 gentlemen know what's going on and those 3 gentlemen have made a point of not even telling the board, chairman and CEO until they actually need to sign off on the contract so any rumours that appear from no where about players are absolute n crap in fact I haven't rumour that has come into fruition for over a year..

That's worrying....

Well I am feeling very positive now.

Our team for next year looks like one of the strongest in the comp. We should be a top 4 side, and I can't wait for 2011.

seriously Maroubra, you've become the most obnoxious, antagonistic dick in the forum..

So are the people who told you this one of the 3 people who know what's going on?

Or are they just speaking absolute crap?

well you should know who 1 of the 3 are, so maybe you should ask them when you're at the game next friday night...

from what I hear, forget it...close up the shop! we're done with any buying.

I think we've bought enough.

With the players coming next year, the injured guys back on deck, and some of our NYC players stepping up, we're a top 8 team for 2012.

People whinge about our weaknesses but every team has them. We're already looking good for next year.

I wonder if Reddy will re-sign for cheap now that he's broken.

Reddy's gone, he won't be signed.

Yep.

Two more outside backs and we're top 4.

Without them, we're fringe top 8.

One or two wins is the difference between fighting for top 4 and battling for top 8 these days, and 2 outside backs can make that difference.

Have I been living under a rock for too long or are Willie Tonga and / or David Williams still on the market?

All of the ones who have debuted this year. Then there's Gagan and Toutai in NYC (either of which could debut this year).

Finally there's Sio who everybody keeps going on about. If he gets back on the field in 2011 and plays well for Wenty he could even make his first grade debut before next year.

That's worrying if what Stagger says is true, and I trust it because he's usually right on the money. Our signings so far are not really that impressive. Also I don't think coaches should have autonomy of signing players to the extent that the football manager and CEO are kept out of the loop. A coach is not an accountant.

What's funny is ando got smashed for not involving the board on recruitment but now kearney has free rein to do & say as he pleases

Wouldn't mind Kane Linett from roosters, has pace, good size and knows the way to the try line.

A few people have said we have signed Folau for next year. Dont know if theres any truth to it.
Maybe we have and that's why our signings are all done.
