I'm not fussed on getting any players this year. I'd rather offload guys and then front load som resignings to benefit our cap moving forward.
How does tanking assist us with our sponsors getting value for money and our 2025 member signings ?

The Bulldogs did similar. So did the Panthers. Released overpaid golden oldies for short term pain and long term gain. Was it not me who said Panthers would be a powerhouse 7yrs ago? You and Pou laughed but fast forward and all of a sudden anyone could see it. Was it not me who said the Dogs are closer to a grand final then us? Yet I was at the time nocked and laughed at.
Take a look at them now. Ones got a 3 peat and made 4 straight grand finals and still competitive while the other is on the upward projector fast whilst we sit in a wooden spoon dog fight.

Who was correct? HINDY111

I ALSO called for a mini rebuild. After 2022. Again many felt we could just continue on our merry ways. I could see the blood had been squeezed out of the side and it was cooked.
POU CAN CONFIRM THIS

You've gone an answered a different question again.

You have to chase the wins otherwise you will lose sponsors and membership tix.

This is how we turn a profit. We have a business to run you know.

I wonder if this is really why Talagi didn’t exercise PO. Not only could he receive upgraded contract but also a hefty frontload this year
Talagi should sign a 1 year deal. If he signs a 3 year deal, he might be undervalued in the 3rd year.

He should back himself and show next year what he really has.

Bit like Suallii

I don’t think short term wins have much correlation to sponsors and I think most members are more invested to understand flows of performance

It's Rnd 13 and anyone who thinks it's good business not to be competitive in every game in 2024 needs their head read.

If sponsors and member decisions were solely based on short term wins, we have a lot less of each right now

But it was good business to hang onto an 11 year spoon winning coach that had his players playing like dogshit??
