f**k off Poupou!
Agreed Casper. 3P set the ball in motion when they recognised we needed to bring in someone to build a better development structure. Kearney, Arthur and Nolan were a great group of signings, and they established the 'academy' we had lacked for so many years.
This gave Stuart and Nolan the foundation for the expensive key signings (Peats and Norman, plus Hopoate signed by Kearney) to come into the side. Our outstanding NYC squad (#'academy') gives us options - and therefore a position of strength - for our contract negotiations going forward. Recruitment/retention will be a lot easier from here compared with the constraints faced by Anderson and Kearney in previous years.
The great thing is that everyone in the club can share in the glory of what has been rebuilt. Those of us with the ability to look at the big picture will remember 3P well for what they set in motion.
Great post, Casper.
:lol::lol::lol:It might seem obvious, but can you imagine how well we'd be going if we'd voted for 4P, or even 7P?
Thispeats was ricky's second choice though hey .... papalli fell through .... who knows what he was planning to do for a dummy half
SK and Ricky got some things right .... but they were f**king hopeless head coaches - they couldn't motivate a f**kin koala to sleep ffs

Casper is right. The only good thing that SK, RS and 3P did between them was grab Hoppa, Peats, Semi, Norman, sandow, Tonga, Mossop, Edwards, Ma'u and Lussick and retain Jnr Paulo, Pauli, Mannah, Hayne, Terepo, Allgood and Sio.
We didn't need any of the SK, RS or 3P signings and retention last night apart from some of the above so they obviously ruined our club.

Why are we defending SK, RS AND 3P when we have just had our best start to a season since when? 2007? None of those merkins are here!
Our squad has always been fine. But finally we have a decent coach.
Because Ricky built this side.
f**k yeah. Our 2011 squad was awesome. Don't forget they made the '09 grand final from eighth place.
Hayne
Burt
Reddy
Mortimer
Robson
Keating
Mannah
Moimoi
Hindmarsh
Smith
All guns who finished in eighth spot just a couple of years before.

Same argument didn't seem to work when people pointed out that SK had built last years squad......
