Lol the only one harping on is you, quick to criticise but when someone challenges you to come up with a 30 man squad you can't, but i bet when we announce we have signed "Joe Average" you will be posting your BS again You and everyone else including me doesnt know the FACTS of what every player is on, why we signed him or released him, we can speculate but when you constantly harp about it like your opinion is correct and factual it's f**king annoying, so make your comment, but no need to go on and on and yes i don't have to read in , but i do ..The problem is whatever positive/good stuff you post is forgotten because of the so many negative, whinging shit you write, yes its a forum to discuss, but again show me your 30 man squad that you want us to have which will make you happy, give me the players you want us to sign to take Maranta's place etc...
You are 100% correct in that nobody knows who is on what so very hard to come up with a 30 man squad with any great accuracy.
You are also correct in saying all clubs will have some fill ins to help manage the cap.
As always, I believe that rather than buying cast offs, journeymen, never was's etc we should be constantly sifting through the juniors first and adding a couple of well credentialed and known performers who are at the tail end of their careers.
I like Lats as a permanent ISP player as he will really do a job for us and if there are a raft of injuries only then do we call upon him.
I cannot fathom how he is a constant starter in 1sts.
Let's have a close look at our last 2 announcements Maranta & Buchan.
What is there form line over the last 2 years in either NRL or ISP that makes them a savvy pick up?
Plenty of player movements going on and we acquire these 2 players and people want me to say I should be pleased about it.
Well give me a reason why I should be pleased as you obviously think they are a worthy addition to our squad.
Do you really think they are the best options for us as we look at a premiership window?
We already have rookies and never was's in our 1st grade squad and we consolidate it with yet another round of "depth".
If we had of cleaned out and not brought Pearson & the "Fijian Sensation" and got a Jennings or Johnstone then I would accept the Maranta signing as being sensible.
