Rumours and Stuff

[Gazzamatta]

Ouch.

BA has just got another easy excuse up his sleeve to con the board into keeping him into 2025.

No Moses, No Gutho how am I supposed to do my job.

Super Cini to the rescue

 

[Soren Lorenson]

Great read. So in summary, based on that and chat in here, we need:
1. A new roster
2. A new coach
3. A different style of play
4. A new recruitment and retention system and personnel
5. Improved pathways development
6. Resources to acquire and execute items 1 to 5.

Have I missed anything?

7. Piss the white jumpers off.

To be fair - they are significant losses.

Easily our 2 best players.

Yes. But Penrith win without Nathan
Storm did fine without Papenhauzen last year and Munster the first 5 games.
Brisbane do ok without Reynolds or Walsh or Eszra.
Knights won without Ponga.
A performance like the one against Manly missing Moses is fine.
The losses to Tigers,Fins and Canberra are inexcusable.

be interresting to see who plays at FB

not superman I hope

Yep its our defence which is the problem and systems we have in place.

Moses and Gutho are our best players but you cant tell me we are a 18-24 point better defensive side with Moses playing. Were getting lapped by 40 by middle of the road sides.

When your guns are out the go-to for those sides is grind and defend there way to a win.

When was the last time a BA-coached side won a game on Defence.

russell?

has to be close to top of the list for this organisation

i quite like the training jersey, maybe something close to that can be the away jersey

 

[Gazzamatta]

Super Cini to the rescue

Id be flabbergasted if that occurs. My preference would be to promote Russell to 1 and play Cini on Sivos wing but thats no chance. Most likely Sivo will stay and Talagi at 1. Should that happen it will be The GGs by 100.
Whatever...... ya cant say its not exciting.

I guess never. Am i close?

russell?

I like him but he recently got dropped to lift his work rate I'm guessing, as he was quiet against the Fins

I guess one way to get him to lift his rate is to play him at FB, he's got tons of experience.

I cant' see Blaize being ready after his game in Cup, he didn't do much.

 

[King-Gutho94]

Not sure about never.

But i reckon maybe a couple of times we beat Melbourne during Covid we built the win off our defence.

The one in the wet that night at Commbank and there was a game at Suncorp when the Storm were on a 18 or 19 game winning streak and we pulled one of those plucky performances out of our arse when Lussick was actually in some decent form.

Few and Far between though that's the disappointing thing.

 

[Avenger]

Are we going to at least try and recruit an outside back? How hard can it be? Do your job O’Neill.

Simmo to fullback. I wouldn't put Russell anywhere near there. Fact is, though, it doesn't really matter now.

[gaffer]

now all we need during the bye is for D Brown to get on the piss and feel up some random sheila

We'll probably get A.Davey out of retirement
