Rumours and Stuff

[T-Boon]

I'm righting off every year that Potato Head is here. No way this stubborn mule he is bringing home a Premiership.

They need to bring in an experienced coach. No more rookies learning at our club.

John Morris is one guy who I admire and I’ve already said that Nathan Brown would be ideal as would Hasler.

Nathan Brown? YHGTBf**kinkidding?
How did Paul Langmack not Mae your list?

Imagine NOT MAKING THE TOP 8 with this squad.
We have one of the best and most experienced spine in the competition. Two of the best props. A gun 2nd rower, One of the best locks in game.
It would be a HUGE FAILURE

Our negatives outweigh our positives though.

We have an old cripple in our spine who detracts from the others.
Our two starting props need to play long minutes because their replacements are crap.
Our gun second rower was injured for the first 5 weeks.
Our star lock missed 3 weeks instead of paying a fine ffs.

Then we have one lazy winger and we can't settle on the right reserve grader for the other wing because one keeps dropping the ball and the other runs like a 90 year old grandmother.

One centre is good but the other has no strength to break the line and gets ragdolled when he hits the defence.

Our other second rower is a Dogs reserve grade discard and our bench forwards are average reserve graders.

We over achieved last year which has led to complacency in recruitment for 2023 and a squad that has 8 or 9 good players and a bunch of nuffies around them.

And we have a bald coach from the bush with no idea on how to develop game day tactics, how to motivate the players and how to improve our defence.

We simply aren't as good as some of you think we should be.

Post of the season

 

[eels_fan]

We clearly need a mini re-build.

we need a wing, centre, hooker and 2 forwards at a minimum.

who are people suggesting ? The stocks in the market don’t look much better than what we have, which means taking a punt on someone and hoping a sea change sparks them into a quality player (like Ice) or a quality cup player who can’t get a run (like Hopgood).

Mostly agree but I do think Superman is doing fine.

You forgot to add that the gun second rower has now done a hammy.

I don't think you got my inference mate.

Well be good in 2024. Nothing surer. This year was always going to be tough. I didn't expect us to miss Mahoney so much. I also got caught up in the hype of Moimesea and Murchie even tho common sense suggested they where duds

Nothing surer? We need to buy a whole bunch of better players to fill out our 17 - hooker, winger, centre and at least one more prop. Only Waqa Blake is off contract for us (of those on decent coin). And there isn’t a lot of quality available for 2024. Plus our recruitment guys (MON and BA) are shithouse.

Mate, BA has no say on recruitment. He's only responsible for the "chase the collision and frontload effort" game plan and the (puzzling) team selections week on week...

If you've got access to a sarcasm gif or emoji, insert it just a few lines above....

 

[Chipmunk]

Cameron McInnes would actually be a decent option as 9, would also allow us to use Hands as the 14 and he could still fill in the middle.

I think one of the Sharks fans on LU mentioned him the other day actually.

He should get it hacked more often ;-)

Don't confuse my week to week optimism with a lack of understanding about the realities of our situation mate.

Well N.Brown also. Most his money is being paid for 2023. Plus I guarantee Hodgson won't take up his player option and end up on coaching staff
