Yeah because your latest assault on the player market is working out well for you guys lol

A similarity between both our clubs in the past decade is neither of us have won a premiership. A difference between both our clubs in the past decade is only one have received a wooden spoon.

Fancy supporting a team that has betting on the wooden spoon suspended for a year because they are that dogy. We might be s**t at the moment, but at least we play by the rules and don't completely write off 5 years of the NRL competition.

You actually posted some logical statments until you went into your A,C,B and Ds. You sound like a Storm fan that seems to understand your club did the wrong thing and I commend you for that. The difference with the Warriors and Bulldogs however, is that they were caught prior to winning anything.

You seem to understand the basics but not the big picture. Can't help you with that.

If it is to be a long term plan then recruitment plans need to show that, look to sign the best players not the best players available in 2013.

So if we need to wait a year to sign the right player we should.

We need quality edge back rowers, a hooker maybe some wingers.
So for 2013
Ben teo, David Williams, Blake ferguson, Sika , Justin oneill, Scott Bolton ! Sam perrett
2014
Matt Gillet would be a massive target, tony Williams ! Burgess

But don't buy just who is on market poore and shack were both bought for too much, not bad players but never worth bug dollars.

I wouldn't buy anyone. You guys could turn andrew johns into shit at the moment. For that matter who would want to go to parra?

How is it that Shackleton and Poore were two of the best young forwards in the game and now they are so shit that they need to be punted?

I know both have had injuries, but so have a heap of players, take zeb taia for instance, the bloke spent a season out and wasnt supposed to play ever again, but here is again back to full form. The rebuilding at parra seems to have merged into never ending change. Until you can get a base with the current group that is passable i wouldnt let your coach start looking at buying people. Frankly, as with anderson, he may not be around to see them fail too and its unfair on a new coach to have the cap full of a discarded coach's imports.

Why would u have let Taia go in the first place. How is it nobody at parra saw that tony williams was a back rower?

A spending spree is a waste. You will pay overs for bad players with the club in the state it is now. Get yourself a good PROVEN coach, get the side working again...then start retaining the right people and buy the odd player to enhance the squad.


You`re absolutely right, of course.

lol. Apparently we have some forwards coming off contract who were signed to ridiculous money according to Delboy. So we should have a squillion to splurge next season.
don't be silly, we've backended all the ballboy's contracts, so that'll chew up all the money

Nahaye, typing on my phone gets pretty tiring after a while.
Plus, repetition is a shameless antagonist.
