Injury toll hasn't been that bad. If where to have a crisis then wing is the position


10yr plan

Everyone was sick of Brian Smith after 9 seasons. Far more succesful
BA said last nite only 19 fit players out of squad of 28. Thats a lot of injuries with a third of our squad unavailable.

Their coach was just fine. They sacked him so they could give a job to the father of the star young halfback they were desperate to re-sign without paying overs. The same dad they decided couldn't get them to the next level a few years earlier. Suddenly he's good enough to bring back? It's about how much talent you can fit under the cap. If you can get a star player cheaper by giving his dad a job or even just one of his mates why not do it?
Gus sacked Cleary and eventually the board sacked Gus and bought back Cleary. Master stroke from the panfers.

Our style was very different prior to 2018. That horror year changed the way we recruited, which changed the way we play. The current style suits our current team. There's no magic tactic that will beat the top teams in the finals or any other time. That's why they're the top teams.

Mate, bottom line is I and thousands of others don't care for ANY type of excuses anymore. Period! We are currently in the longest premiership draught in the NRL by a long shot. More then a generation. There literally are probably about a third to half of all our supporters that have never seen or felt the joy of a GF victory and even accounting for great victories like last nights, they won't mean a damn thing unless we can win the dance with no pants at the end of the season and we can all experience that big O together and feel drenched in the after glow of that almighty blast of climactic pleasure and euphoric success.

All your excuses mean nothing to most of us. You just sound like that pathetic fool Baghdad Bob who just kept on dribbling ridiculous nonsense and propaganda during the Iraqi war in the face of total annihilation and defeat. All the excuses in the world will not and do not mean a thing till our players are wearing that magical winners ring. So until our coach, whoever he is can put a ring on it, you and all your posse mates can simply stick it. Your noise just sounds more and more like Charlie Browns teacher on a loop.

No more freakin excuses. You are beyond Comical Ali proportions at this point if it were ever possible. You may think that you are measured and logical in your assessments of our clubs failure to hold up the trophy and the chance for our boys to swing their mighty di*ks around like champions do, but believe me when I say, no one wants to hear that sh*t anymore. It just sounds like garbled babble nonsense. It is as relevant to how we feel as someone still owning a Blockbuster membership card. We have all moved on and the same goes for the endless repetitive excuses you keep putting forward that just go down a giant forum sink hole and dismissed by most of us.

You may as well be screaming at us with a mouth full of marbles while playing with your floppy disco stick thinking that you're smarter then all of us. Sure some of the things you say may have merit and logic, if we hadn't had 35+ years of zero titles to our name. But like I and others keep saying, there comes a time when all the excuses in the world, relevant or otherwise, mean absolutely nothing and only deliverance will do.

We reached this period a while back, but you seem to not have noticed. I would not be surprised if you still had that Blockbuster card in your back pocket too mate. You seem to be the type that rolls like that.

If irrelevance and plodders are your jam, pou is you man!

Live interstate but a little of the former and not of the latter and 'merkin' - what does that mean?

It was a joke to Bones on Bones not being the same again and a spot being available and...oh you know what? Don't worry, it obviously wasn't very funny if I need to explain.

Ignore

I wonder how many fans who witnessed the 1986 grand final, are still alive?

You could say that and you could equally say they won a premiership only after he left which would be equally right.
Well he has won premierships as coach and also set the conditions for coaches who came afterward to win. The fact he is a multiple premiership winning coach means he deserves the benefit of the doubt. He knows what it takes to win.

I showed you Cleary was shithouse in his first four years at the Panthers, and no better at the Tigers. The only reason to bring him back was to re-sign his son on the cheap. They are experiencing their current success because of the squad they have, which wasn’t built by Cleary.
