MarkInTheStands said:Maybe we as a club and fans can look to finishing off this year first.
forward pass said:Why can't this club keep any of its decent players? We get rid of all the good ones or they leave.
Shifcofske, Hodgson, Tonga, Lyon, Morrison, Widders blah blah blah...
Not to mention we actually let PJ and Grothe go too. I just can't explain it when I think about the talent we have had at this club now playing elsewhere it really sh*ts me off.
Any who do we sign to replace our departing players?? Todd Lowrie ffs!!
Creagh..no, Asotasi...no, Poore...no, Pritchard...no,Hill...doubtful, Simpson....unlikely, Morley...no, Burns...no, Lyon...no, Mullen...no, Gidley...no!!
Need I go on!

The Colonel said:Not much use having a great core group of players if the back up isn't worth a pinch of sh*t in the first place. We have been there and done that in the past......

strider said:Well i'm gonna leave u all to wallow in your pitty .... too much frickin sooking in this thread.
Maybe its time for a new scapegoat .... Brian copped it for years ... I guess now its Hagans turn to step up for a bashing even before he's had a cahnce to do anything with the cattle we do actually have
Most of that current crop who ARE staying contributed greatly to a 2005 minor premiership which could have been much more had we been switched on in the QF ..... I think 2005 and 2006 show that ALOT comes down to attitude on the field as much as who the players names are out there.
Anyway - this thread has turn nastily from a small heads up on a signing to a total bitch session ... pretty f**kin lame really.
MITS said:Yes but looking at 2007, has looked like the Mona Lisa or a steaming pile of garbage depending on what side of the fence you have been. But let me put it to you this way, as a hypothetical. The minor Miracle happens and we make the 8. From the 8 we charge through and Make a qualifying semi.
Saying that happens.
Is 2007 still looking bad if we sign a few fringe first graders and then a name or two? Sure we lose between 3 - 4 of the current squad, but who knows what will happen next week with signings?
Look I agree the management is responsible for the position, but we also don't know what cards they are holding, The Board is showing 2 A 2, what do you think the management could be holding ?, what are the two other cards to come?
All I am saying is that Firstly 2006 is not over, and neither is the recruiting for 2007.

James_Hardie said:I understand what you are saying, but i think it is unanimously agreed we a are short on at least one if not two top quality forwards and a quality 5/8 needed to win a premiership. And it appears those players may no longer be avaialable on the market, unless indeed we do sneak a quality player from the ESL.
MarkInTheStands said:Okay Colonel, lets be hypothetical right now then.
Leaving = Replacement
Morris = Hill
Peek = Dallas M
Stringer = Mark Mini
Morrison = Nate Myles
Henry P = Todd L
Hayne = O'Dwyer
Williams = Petersen
Cordoba = Cannings
Also you know that we won't be stacking up or buying to many for the premier league because of its fate.

6.Hill
7.Smith
8.Cayless (with some fitness back)
9.Riddell
10.MoiMoi
11.Hindmarsh
12.Myles
13.Robinson
14.Marsh
15.Minachello
16.Lowrie
17.Cordoba / Tsoulos
Doesn't fit the bill?
