Let’s just mention losing Mahoney, Papali’i, Kaufusi , Nrown, and a couple of others in 2022 and replacing them with a Momoseia , Murchie and another nondescript . Then RCG, Gutho, Lomax,Blake, J Arthur and more, his recruitment is close to abysmal . Anyway, let’s see if anything improves and surely a professional board would be looking at this issue which is in plain sight and thinking WTF happened.
just remind us all where Belmore is ,, that’s probably a less than stellar destination, seriously need to stop making excuses, Tigers have improved, Dogs and Raiders . There is no excuse other than inability to do the job.
At least you’re not overrating our squad
Apologies, izack would be a solid edition to our line up and give us flexibility and also a replacement on sean next year. Wonder how much his contract is
There’s usually a huge difference between 10th and 16th. Last year it was six wins. Seven years ago it was seven wins. If we won an extra six games last year we would’ve finished top four.
He’s not the recruitment manager, he’s the general manager.
Taken out of context. Im not mad we didnt get an aging barnett post injury on major money but im mad we havent made any moves to sign talent going forward esp for 2027 and beyond. So i hope their attitude aligns with building a strong club for at least 2027 because were not looking too hot for this year and its too late
Nobody by the looks, it’s the only way I can fathom he still has a job.
The Panthers players all live near Penrith. Only the most elite players are affording family sized homes near the city, and even then, why waste your money if you’re not playing for Souths or the Chooks?
You're missing my point completely. My opinion is that the Orr's had no intention of one of their key clients coming near the club. My question is, did we know this, or were we played off as the Useful Idiots in this instance.
Is 6 games really that big a difference in 46-47 games in a year? (Not 48 because 2 teams will play each other at least once).
Not having a go. I and many other posters here agree with what you said, but that probably isn’t how the club decision makers should be viewing it. It’s ok for them to think it here and there, but you can’t build a good squad if that’s the thinking long term, which it largely appears to be.
If it is the case, whether we were party to it or not, makes very little difference. Either we did and the benefit is smoothing over relations with Orrs, but to what end? Because all it would do is give us access at market rate to a player. Or if we were ignorant then all it does is makes us seem like potential patsies to Orrs so that they may provide access to a player at market rate.
Not making excuses. I was just agreeing it’s a valid point.
I'd rather a sausage party
I can cop a loss if they show up for the full 80 but get done in a thriller. What I won't cop is another performance like last week. Ah nope, nope ah nope. Not copping that.
It is his great service to the Eels as a player in the 90s.
