True.

But probably the only player there who helps us in a tight contest is Mahoney.


A nice pass by JA and Davey spilled. Papali'i scores. Both his and Maratas go forward would also put us in better attacking field position every set.

I not that concerned.
There isn't much between us being a good side or poor cause we have some of the key positions covered that are hard to get. No matter how good you are if you don't have good halves you could be doomed for 15yrs finding them.

Every other position you can find and are available. And our pack is still quality. We need a centre, winger, 2nd rower, hooker,prop.
You then have Matterson, Grieg, Hands on bench and one spot to fill being another prop. 2nd rower to take Daveys spot.

Winger and centre are not that hard to find. Hooker can be tricky.

It's also possible we have a few of these options already inside the club.

I think this will turn out to be the season we needed to have to show the club we need to improve the roster.

We should have much better Right Wing, Left Centre, 9, and interchange middles in 2024 as a result of the 2023 recruitment clusterf**k.

Well we've churned through players during that time too, so what other avenue are you referring to?
Just lack of quality. Replacing solid first graders with other solid first graders isn't going to make you stronger. You can't keep blaming the coach that our blokes rarely play Origin. We need TPAs and all the other shit the top clubs have. We need the big money junior 'development' system. Then the top coaches will want to come here.

For the team to show some hunger to improve, and get back to a Grand Final.

For the team to prove that 2022 was not a fluke.

For the team to prove that they weren't just lucky to be in the big dance in 2022.

So far, they've failed in every count.
The seasons before it proved we had a good team. This year the team isn't as good but still good enough to make the eight.

Brown is still ordinary in Roosters reserve grade, and added nothing in last years GF , he’s possibly worse than what we currently have. Size and injuries have just caught up with him and the style he okays

Yeah but we could have got a player swap out of them is what I am trying to get at. The Brave Roosters didn't have many injuries when we gave them Brown.

If we are front loading Moses that means we should be signing players for next year which we are not at the moment.
