Here is a controversial opinion....

I would sign Ben Hunt as our halfback for the next 2-3 years (on max 800k as he is 33!) and let Moses go with the Plan to develop Blaize or Ethan to take over..

I like it, also allows us to spend on beefing up our forward pack, or even an xfactor, or a speedster

$450 should get a good young player which we can develop, which means going through a re-build but we are going nowhere right now

He has started in six games in the middle, with Murray in the 13 jersey.

He hasn’t been hurting Souths. Big fat forwards are no longer the answer. Not since about 2020.

Tell that to Tom Burgess, who without they will struggle to win the premiership.

Pou No Idea.

I tell you who I’d give an arm and a leg for as coach to replace BA, Cooper Cronk. He is incredibly astute, articulate, understands high performance culture better than just about anyone and I think he’d be a massive attraction for players to work under.

Throw the bank at him to have a break from Fox (I doubt it’d come off) and bring him here.

I don't think he is a great communicator. He tries to sound cool and say exciting things and fails most time to pull it off. He would be a good assistant though, which is what he is doing at the Roosters now.

He would never give up his cushy gigs for 24/7 pressure head coaching though. He has stated as much on many occasions.

No, not as head coach. Slater would be the better head coach. Cronk is an assistant who would drum repetition, repetition, repetition, repetition...into them forever.

But if I could hired the best coach right now that is available it would hands down be Michael Cheika. He is a tactical style coach that is a peoples man and a great motivator. Also having someone as good as Barrett to guide him if needed on any offensive structures, there would be no issues at all.

The publicity he would generate for the club alone, just like when say the Roosters signed SBW or C. Cronk, would pay for his services. He would be a walking billboard for our club and the game. He is a media savvy man too so we would be getting a true professional at every level.

Look up what Moses had to say about him. If he isn't the best candidate bar a Bennett or Bellamy master signing I'll eat my hat and Pou's poorly resourced one too.

I would be making inquiries now and I reckon if they asked the players privately, they would all jump to the change. He is a players coach.

I don't think he does. He only has 2 of NRL standard, while other clubs have 3-6 front rowers alone not counting their other middles or back rowers.

Our Potato Head loves bargain basement edge forwards and outside backs.

Well, at least you didn't suggest the Walker brothers.

Trell, Graham, Walker, Murray, Cook, Arrow and Kolomotagi all those other useless players send their regards....

Didn't say they were useless mate. They have the best middle rotation, but if you can't see that Tom is their main bopper that changes the thrust of the go forward when he comes on then you ain't watch RL.

Sure they can win it, but it would be way harder without him or Murray. Any other forward goes down they will barely notice compared to those two.

My Grandfather who is a souths fans calls Tom Burgess twinkle toes.

He is the only player he would trade off tomorrow out of souths if he could.

Well tell your Grandfather he knows nothing. I would take him in a heart beat. He is exactly what we are missing if we want to play a 'Chase the Collision' style of game. We only have 2 genuine NRL level props at the club who are being burnt out right now. He would change everything.

Your Granddaddy should ask the Souths player if and how much they value his carries during games? I wonder if they would trade him off first?

so 1 piece of their middle rotation has enough pull to influence whether they go all the way or not? ....seen it all now.
