Rumours and Stuff

I seriously believe the people in charge couldn't give a shit if we win a GF, as long as we are competitive and they sell enough memberships to a loyal fanbase that makes the club profitable. They are not willing to do what it takes to get us to the next level. Otherwise a bum like Murphy would not be here.
I think this is a real possibility. Not that they don't care at all but maybe not enough.

It's the new Hindy111. The positive Hindy111. And you've made a statement against me an accused me of a troll. The old Hindy111 would call you a f**kwit and genuinely believe that is what your are. A f**kwit.
But the new HINDY111, the positive Hindy111 just would like to say I think you are a great man. Very good. Always right. I love your work and spin on things. Your mum was right. You are the best.
I was about to say ... i hope there are still plenty of f**king rabbits I n the new hindy111 - then i read the next post .... 😁

Yes. Heaps of clubs in American sports are happy to just make play-offs continuously. I feel we are as well. Good memberships and everyone keeps their jobs.
And considering we've been a basket case for so long, not being a basket case would be a motivation. I don't think they're greedy, or at least there's no reason to think so at this point.

Lots and lots of pages re:Matto.
If he's gone and looks like he may well be I'd go after the following for backrow (below) as I think we have enough coverage in the middle in:
Jnr
Reg
Nrown
Hopgood
Greig
Rodwell
Makatoa
Ogden
Backrowers we are very short on. Hence I would chase players below. Only really have Lane since Papalii and Nuikore are moving on.
Jack Hetherington
Josh Curran
Bailey Sironen
Jack Murchie
Matt Doorey
Not sure if Nikora has re-signed with Sharks. Otherwise I'd see if Corey Herewira Naera is keen on moving back to Sydney.
I note Josh Kerr from Dragons has been playing reggies last few weeks..Could be a good pickup If he's not gonna get game time.
We need to be very proactive as the exodus is becoming alarming...
Crikey Rein is an inspired signing. Probably tells me more about the anxiety they have about Hodgson. I would get Jeremy Marshall King to be the backup

He’s been a valuable asset, but prolly needs to make way for Dantoray and whoever is our backup fullback. Id move on Jack A Williams too.

Who would play fullback if Gutho was out for a week ? 🧐 Dylan ?

I would love to see what Dyl could do and it may be a possiblility with BA.

1. Dyl
6. Moses
7. JA - I wouldnt mind this so much coz Dyl could be roving both sides.

but coz our wingers are coming back, it could also be

1. Bailey
2. Sivo
3. Blake
4. Peni
5. Russell

Or Blake on wing with Oppa in centres

geez, I wish BA would stop turning these forwards into players that we just can't afford to keep

did you watch the final against the Panfers last year ?

you know, the one where the ref got dropped to NSW Cup after and the NRL inquiry for handing the game to the Panfers ?

I suppose that was somehow BA's fault ?

We had 80mins to score......
Under BA we haven't choked. We won all the games expected and lost the one not expected except the Cowboys loss in 2017.

Or another way to look at it is to start by making sure that you are always competitive and build from there. You don't win many premierships if you are not regularly competitive. Do you really think that the 'people in charge' don't care whether we win a premiership or not? Granted, they may not think that it is the only thing that matters, but the idea that they don't care whether we win or not defies logic.....do you reckon that overseeing a premiership winning club wouldn't help their own worth on the labour market?

The best thing about winning a premiership would be to see what you lot would find to whinge about. I guess it would then be that the club put all their chips into winning in year X and didn't set us up for a 35 year dynasty.

WTF? Did you watch the game v the Panthers in the finals? That was not a choke. We arguably deserved to win the game against the eventual premiers.
Admittedly we were massively ripped off. There were numerous incidents and f ups by the officials which were inexcusable.
We were the better side and the grubiness from the likes of luai and kikau was downright disgraceful.
We all know the current squad we have gives us a huge opportunity to go all the way. The loss of so many players next year makes it more of a rebuilding year. Fans are tired of waiting for premiership success. Hence why we want it now. Development club means jacksh$t in the grand scheme of things. Premierships are where its at.
