do we look at Clifford as a stop gap option for 1-2 years? He’s a solid player. Not flashy but certainly first grade quality and would play well in a deputy role while we either go hard for a marquee or develop from within

Not sure Sticky is a good mate...maybe it's just the fact his brother is the assistant coach.
There best mates why do you think his brother Mick is on the coaching staff.

Ricky is close to all the News Corp journos.

Buzz, Kent, Crawley, Ritchie.

Crawley praised Ricky last week for speaking his mind after getting flogged by 40.

Then Buzz came out no doubt via Ricky in the background to peddle that the Broncos complained to the referees week before so Canberra were specifically targeted for that Manly game.

There isn't another coach in the world constantly getting praised or get there reputation lavished by News Corp as much as Ricky.

He can do no wrong.

He called Salmon out in that presser and it was Ivan Cleary & Penrith were the ones copping the heat on 360 the following week because of it.

You have to wonder about both decisions.

In the history of rugby league, what 1 NRL game rookie replacing your Captain with over 200 NRL games who influenced results, actually improved the side?

What team, who had one genuine starting Front Rower, has let that player go and not replaced them, and the side has actually improved?
Over what period? Are we looking for the sugar hit of upsetting Dogs or Manly, or are we looking longer term?
I think it was highly unlikely Gutho or RCG were going to be involved in a premiership win with us. At the moment Iongi, Tuivati, et al are Schrödinger’s NRL 17. Granted each game also seems to take their premiership chances closer to 0, but I’d argue it’s still higher than Gutho or RCG had they not left
