Fair enough.. but if we’re being honest, the lack of pathways and succession planning is on the head of football. That’s their job, to make sure the club isn’t just focused on the now, but has a clear strategy for sustained success. Losing key players after 2022 without having ready made replacements isn’t just bad luck it’s poor planning.

Yeah, spending has ramped up now, but that’s reactive. The head of football should’ve had that vision years earlier. A big part of their role is ensuring the club’s football department is future-proofed not scrambling after the fact.

But it costs money! If the funds aren't available how does it all get paid ?

Knights interested..

Boods not progressing it seems...

How do we know the funds were not available?

Come on mate mediocrity is where it’s at, we know it’s what gets him off.

And let’s face it we are a small tin pot club with no money and no resources.

The fact is that Pou revels in mediocrity because it gives him endless joy on here - that's the real game for him.

They need 2 hookers, Crossland has moved into lock role and brailey gone

BA was not setting the club up for success.

He set his family up for success though.

That's all that mattered in BA's eyes.

Family first, club second.

We all saw it a long time ago.

Some though were blinded & couldn't see it.

No wonder PVL back tracked after speaking to a few people in the game and then had to go get Meninga to coach Perth.

FFS BA lost the unloseable job.

We don't, so agree maybe it was and we didn't bother looking after the pathways.

 

[Legal Eel]

The law often reminds us: facts are stubborn things. Grouping me into this dribble was neither factual nor particularly wise. Let’s treat truth as more than just optional in the future, merkin.

So I guess we just run with the pretence that you always advocated for a change in coach and agreed that our management had dropped the ball in so many areas of development?

 

[Legal Eel]

Pou said we don't have the resources. Chapter and verse.

Crosslands played/stared at lock once. Doubt it's fulltime..

9. TDS

14. Crossland

Apparently talyn de Silva available b4 June 30 , watch us stuff this one up and the apologists find a reason why we couldn't sign him

So if he is offered a 3 year $1.5 million deal, we should match it with $1.8 m....

How can you already have an excuse prepared when we haven't even missed out yet?

Starting lock again this week

Just get the deal f**ken done MON, no f**ken excuses!! Who cares what TDS wants, just f**ken pay it !

 

[JokerEel]

Yeah that will make it twice doubt it permanent plus Brailey only played 72 minutes last week and I assume Crossland moved to hooker when he went off as he played the full 80 and their bench is full of forwards

I think it was actually until after Covid and when the PLC could start providing more money to the football club. Here's a link to the PLC annual reports that I am not sure anyone on here wrote.

Could replace lussick in reserve grade

How do we play TDS and Smith is a question I want to know.

We more than likely need a lock/hooker on the bench not a hooker that only plays 10 minutes

Or stay at Tigers and play reserve grade.
