To think people are happy with the quality of player such as Simmonson in our team just shows how low our expectations of a quality player have become. Average and solid should Not be good enough.

Our management have excelled in recruiting utter shit. They need to go. They have NFI.
They all have each other’s back, none of them are going anywhere, such a cluster f**k!!!

For wing and centre spots we should be targeting Samuel Stonestreet, Kayal Iro, Isaiah Tass, Isaac Thompson, Justin Olam, Reimis Smith, Blake Wilson.
Jag 2 of these and big improvement on overall quality in outside backs.
Would also chase Kaio Weekes as can play in halves, fullback and hooker and very quick.
2 or 3 quality signings in the backs and we will be very good next year.
I can't see us having 23 weeks suspensions, terrible injury toll and horrible draw...
Another smokey is Corey Paix...looks out of favour at Broncos and could be a good starting 9 or backup..would keep the pressure on Lussick and Hands..
We had Reimis Smith

If you had a backline with 2 x origin players and then Russel and Simmo that's fine. But Pensini and Sivo are only slightly above average. Our 2 - 5 is possibly worse in comp. Certainly the slowest.

It came after a Pou post saying our current back stocks were enough.
Well personally I hope that we end up with Billy Smith at the very least, bc Simonsson has shown that he can’t maintain an NRL level of form. So that puts him In backup territory for mine. Guys like him and Asi and good squad players, but are not reliable enough to use for multiple weeks in a row.

Billy Smith remains unsigned, so he’s going to be announced with his new team after the Roosters get knocked out or be one of those sombrero re-signings announced in the middle of summer.

Smith Won't be in the Roosters first grade side next year as they have bought Young from Newcastle so Sualii will move to centre.

I suppose we will sign Smith if not we are stupid he won't break the bank and is almost rep level.

Agree, Simonssen (and Russell and Asi currently) are back-up level rather than first choice NRL backline quality - although I do hold hope for Russell's development into the future.

We need someone with decent defence out there, even just like Opacic provided.

I think Russell will be more than decent, BS, and Asi are a dime a dozen, though I did Bailey had turned the corner, unfortunately not so, went back to being average
