Sorry, you’re just posting the same thing. Everyone knows what the problem is. What is the 2024 solution?
Surely the point is, that there are more than one person on big coin tasked with the responsibility of building a balanced and sensible roster. Like you , I look at the issue and respond, just over it being so easy to highlight and no one in the club doing the damn obvious.

Does anyone think the Roosters would be in this position, so do something about it . We are possibly moving towards the end of our forward dominance as they are all a year older with no game breaker in the 2 to 5. It’s seems repetitive because it’s so friggin obvious what the issue is, and it’s still there and shouldn’t be.

100 percent agreed, but a separate related issue is what to do about it right now? It seems any back we sign for this year will be another depth/fringe/backup who may or may not be better than what we have when everyone is available again.

Ironically Harper who we are now really reliant on rejected us last year.
We tried to sign Harley Smith shields who is now playing reserve grade in the Q cup.
We have been fkn abominable trying to sign class outside backs.
Even the dogs have signed Crichton, xerri, Ado Carr, Tracey. Their problem is their fwds are horrid.
If we had landed any of those we would be faring much better and feeling much better about the situation.
To say we lucked out because 2 of our 18yr olds who wouldn't be in the top 30 did their ACLs is complete and utter BS.. you need quality established outside backs to go with your fwds. Hoping bash and barge, chasing the collision and front loading is just rinse repeat. Let's throw in the washing detergent whilst we are at it.
There are truckloads of good outside backs playing reserve grade right now who are actually better than 2 or 3 of our starters...
This has been an epic fail by the club. HOF, recruitment, coach, coaches....
