Haha nobody is coming to the club. We are letting go of players because we've been sprung rorting the cap.

I doubt we are over the cap for next year - we have lost Ellis who was one of our gun players.

Surely this is about getting rid of average first graders and trying to promote or buy players with impact.

I have it on good authority that the Peter Byrne show is coming to the club

He'll be doing all his hits at Tigers Five Dock next Saturday night

Sheens is very excited and has offered his expertise in re arranging the Marshall stack and drum kit

heard your in a bit of financial bother since the redevelopment of the balmain leagues club is yet to approved- Balmain hold the licence for the NRL Club but the Wests side has the money and not wanting to tip more in especially with the issue between wests tigers and wests juniors.

We can't have all gun players and those mentioned could be quality players in the right role.

Lote in form is a quality player same as Moltzen in the right role however personally I wouldn't resign either of them.

I have no problems with the other players you have mentioned.

Woods, Galloway and Kite as front row options are great. I'm unsure who else will fill that role but I think we need one more.

We are not losing much and players we have should get us to top 4 each year if they play to the best of their ability. The question is why aren't they. We have no structure in attack or defence (cant tackle) and without a half our outside backs get the ball way too late.

Very disappointing seasons from Marshall, Lawrence, Blair, Hino, Ayshford, Motzen.
Happy with performance of Galloway, Woods, Fulton, Farah, Korobiete, Utai, Sironen, Ryan.

I can count 8 players that could say they had good seasons and out of those Galloway, Farah, Sironen played only part of the season.

The review needs to work out Why so many players suddenly underperformed.

That is patently obvious
They missed field goals
The rowing machine faced west
The upright row was a little too upright
The flying fox was jerky and required some WD40

NB These are reasons and in now way resemble excuses

Whats the go with backs? No offense to Lawrence but he had a terrible year and another one of them by him and Ayshford puts us at ineffective chumps in the centres. Is Grant a chance on the wing? Will Tedesco even be back? Are Humble, Sironen and Miller going to get another chance?

Humble is being released for next season.

Michael Jennings was impressive at Origin (except for the sin bin) and is out of favour at Penrith. Could be clearing the decks for him. Or even better Israel Folau!

I hope they are pushing these established + popular players out of the club for a marquee signing and not because of back-ended contracts where too many other players getting balloon payments in 2013. Then they're just writing off next year basically.

It would not surprise if they are after a big name. Humpty has to do something fast to deflect all the negative press, especially when the Warriors sign a coach that dosnt have a surname called Sheens
Looking from the outside in the place is a shambles, but you would hope their is a grand plan yet to be announced to the punters!!!!

There's no need to clear the decks.

If we re-arrange the ship phone with the lifesaver and the deckchairs with the towel hut we'll be fine

If only the great man was aboard the Titanic when it hit the iceberg

If we're genuinely in cap trouble then the incompetence at the top goes further than I could have ever imagined.

I agree. Surely this isn't the case. If it is we need to piss Blair off a.s.a.p. because I can only think that he is the problem.
