Good question. Thrown in one more semi-decent acquisition that could play 6 and it seems like a good effort.
I would be impressed but I think it’s quite apparent that we can sign all these forwards etc but without a good dummy half then is it really gonna get us to the promised land? We may come close but I think we will still fall short.
Probably a dodgy vindaloo
I would genuinely be pretty pissed to see Jenko leave, yes he hasn’t been great but his defence alone is brilliant and doesn’t really get enough of a wrap.
His exactly what we need and what is needed in today’s game, we’ve been lacking a hooker like that for as long as i can remember.
The main question is around whether and how much extra time people would give BA should these signings happen. Even further to it, lets say we make these changes plus Salmon makes a passable 1st grade 5/8th and Kaysa becomes consistent and uninjured enough to at least warm the seat for juniors for couple of seasons, we rebound somewhat next season, have some outstanding games and some round 2 v Manly games, and limp into 8th, but can't make any further notable signings for 2020, do people re-sign BA or look elsewhere?
Have a really bad feeling that next game could get real ugly, another Manly disaster coming up. Trouble is once a team is 14 points ahead we've lost as that is about all we can score so it appears.
Pou has a squillion excuses on why we lost other than actually blaming the coach or the players. Lets see how we go when these players come back. Lets hope we let go of the wooden spoon handle so firmly in our grasp atm and pass it over to the rightful owner, the Dogs.
does it have arms or is it like some thalidomide baby?
Tepai, another overpaid merkin, who has failed to live up to his pay cheque. Just on Jenko's 4 year contract surely his pay decreases over the time, but knowing this club, bet it doesn't, if anything probably increases.
What really worries me is that other clubs are announcing signings but as yet nothing from our club. Rumours we have Junior but just that, a rumour, at present. We really need to go hard and pay overs if necessary to rebuild the squad. Go really hard for Pangi Jnr, looks like one of those forwards that'll be a real beast in the future plus another good middle forward, maybe Lodge. However our precarious ladder position doesn't help us in negotiations but the Knights have proved they can still sign players when in the cellar. We need to do the same. Lets hope the dopey BA doesn't come to the fore, praising how our forwards will perform once they are all back so no need to buy any more for next year (or is that Pou talking?).
I agree our form was poor before the injuries but every team experiences poor form. Gutherson was unavailable to start the year. In round two we lost Takairangi, in round three we lost Evans and Hayne. In round five we lost Brown. These are all important players in our attack.
