We Have Enough Cap Space to Buy Quality

No mate It might be Rip Taylor

way to young for mary

Yeah, and I wish him all the best with his mental health. I believe that time off was this season just past. He should look after himself. I am referring to his career overall. Overrated and very self absorbed IMHO.

When you enjoy being called Cash Taylor and giggle about your earnings, as he did in an interview a few years back, tells me something is amiss.

If its related to his mental state then he / his manager / family should make that a priority. Right now, he is not ready for footy.

With respect, I don't think either of us actually know the guy or his situation.

 

[Frank Facer]

Must be that no one wants Dufty, Aitken and Lafai and the club is reluctant to offload Pearson, Pereira and Ravalawa.

In my opinion we would be better to also let either Norman or Hunt go in an effort to re-unite Holmes and Flanigan. To me there must be a better balanced side before we can start moving up the premiership ladder. I would be happy to move on many of our first grade side and as much as necessary of our reserve grade side, to play the following top 17 in 2020:
1. Holmes - on Hunt money
2. Saab -
3. Lomax
4. Ramien or BJ Leilua
5. Oats
6. Clune
7. Taylor
8. Kerr
9. McInnes
10. Vaughan
11. T Sims
12. Fifita - on Norman money
13. De Belin / Frizell - either one

14. K Sims
15. Lawrie
16. L Leilua
17. Ford

So if we let go Dufty, Ravalawa, Pearson, Pereira, Norman, Hunt, Maranta, Masters, Graham, Robson, Timm, Latimore, Allgood and if either De Belin or Frizell moves on we should have enough cap to field the above team. After signing the above players, I'd back fill with SGI reserve grade with our juniors juniors.

You completely lost me with Taylor. He is pathetic.

I think we should let the kids have a go sooner than later, maybe in 2021 all of the following should if mentored correctly be starring in first grade
Ramsey, Sullivan, Feages them both, Schoop, Schiller. Wishart, Blacker, Ive been watching juniors games all week laid up with a sprained ankle and all these kids could be damn amazing if they have faith in them
in this game Mathew Feage and Jayden Sullivan along with Schoop the centre are all damn a cut above

Those high quality coaches saw their club’s future in those positions was not with Hunt or Norman.
The fact is high quality coaches exited them from their rosters you have to ask yourself why and then ask why we signed them with the coach we have and for the money they were paid.
Changing coaches will not instantly make Hunt or Norman great players as they just aren’t good enough but somehow our supporters want to make some arguments to defend players because of the coach.
At their pay rates I expect much more than they give us.

Again not Correct Re Hunt..Broncos wanted to keep him...Stop making stuff up...

Wanted to keep him lol
They chose not to upgrade him and upgraded Milford instead.

Wrong...They wanted to keep Hunt...we offered longer contract...

Bennett dropped Hunt after he chose to come to us, hence all the paper talk that they wanted to keep milford...Just Broncos trying to save face...( They acknowledge that it was an error on their part..Milford has been ordinary )


P.S LOL all you want....doesn't change Facts....

You are misinterpreting my post
Dally M quality is where 1,2 or 3 points are awarded by independent judges
Hunt 12 & Norman 6 points in the voting and they are supposed to be high quality players?
Even allowing for the dud coach the points are poor for the money these blokes are payed.
You keep harping about the coach and we all know he is a dud but Hunt & Norman both played for high quality coaches before they got to us.

Anyone trying to make sense out of most of the Dally M position points is doing well.
t is a farce as are the judges picking their favourites anyway.
Look at the Ruan Sims incident of voting when not there (unlucky one just got caught out)
AFB from manly gets 5 points for the year. Payne Hass the best prop...nah....Maumalo best winger...nah
So to try and rationalise our halves in this is ludicrous.especially this year
The only reason our halves dont poll are our coaches attack game plans, lack of forward / ruck and we lost a lot of games, were dominated in the middle and metre gaining (nearly worst in the comp from the backfield)..and the whole side 2nd worst defensive team

BINGO....But let's not confuse people with Facts...otherwise they will have to change or reconsider their pre conceived ideas.

 

[possm]

How many team lineups do you reckon you post per season, possm?

I may just keep changing my mind until the start of next season. Sometimes I can be persuaded by rumours or suggestions put by other forum members.

So what about a swap between Hunt and Fifita?

Hey Possm.
I reckon the team list for 2020 is pretty much set. The only positions you can speculate about will be 1 (will it be dufty or lomax) and 5 (will it be Pearson or Pereira)
Every other position is exactly the same as last year.
So don't even bother mate.

Haven't heard that one...I'd be very surprised if they wanted to let Fifita go....

I sure hope you're wrong because we will be gone in 2020 if that is the case. We need new blood, a new coach and a new culture.

Agree 100% on all 3 of those points!

Fair enough. The one thing we need to change though is at the top of the team list...

Coach:....

 

[getsmarty]

Vaughan will more than likely need an upgrade along with Frizz....let's see what unfolds over the next few weeks.

Vaughan is already on big money.

Vaughan is already on big money.

Totally unrelated to anything, Buzz Rothfield is spreading the rumour that all is not well at the Sharks between Ramien and Xerri- possibly they both covet the same backline position. Could be an opportunity to grab one of them and hopefully Josh Morris as well.

Not massive Dollars...Aussie Jumper and he probably has an upgrade clause...most players do.
