    [Resurrected] Lol @ Parra

    I still have a soft spot for Gutho as well, but we definitely don't need more players who are pushing past 30 years-old.

    Tigers sign Feledy

    He actually played against us last year, didn't he? Was that his debut? I thought he was an absolute gun in the juniors. He might not have developed the size needed for the NRL, but still keen to watch his development.

    [Resurrected] Lol @ Parra

    Mate, the cameras cutting to the coaches' box the last couple of games, and the press conferences afterwards, have worried me. Seibold has that same haunted look in his eyes that all of our coaches seem to get. You know - the one that says, "Are these really the players I'm relying on to save my...

    Who should coach us

    I'm with you. Said it another thread, but the last time he was our defensive coach (under Tooves), we made a grand final. And nine out of 10 dentists agree, we are in desperate need of a defensive coach.

    [Resurrected] Lol @ Parra

    Yep. I would take Arthur as our defensive coach. We sure as f**k need one, and as Terry says, the last time he was our defensive coach (under Tooves), we made the grand final - and would have won it if not for Shayne Wayne Hayne's MVP efforts on behalf of the Roosters that day. Arthur landed...

    I see your Monte Video and raise you Salt-N-Pepa: Here we go, here we go, here we go again. Fans, what's our weakness? Signing duds and discards from underachieving clubs.

    I honesty think it's player managers who do our recruitment. Average players are offered on the cheap and invariably we say, "Sure! What could possibly go wrong?" We are bargain-basement shoppers who cannot resist a sale. There does not appear to be any thought or strategy beyond that.

    Baffled. Why are we collecting outside backs to play for Blacktown? What need is this signing addressing?

    Club News 2024

    That fits with our overall recruitment strategy. Another player who fills me with nothing but "Meh". What need would his signing be addressing?

    Blacktown Workers

    Yeah, Lehi Hoppa and Faulalo really stand out in that backline. Humphreys, too.

    Blacktown Workers

    Humphreys was always very composed coming through the juniors, with a solid kicking game as well. I get the rationale for trying him as a hooker - apart from the fact we're in desperate need of a good one, a lot of coaches switch young halves into the pack these days to "toughen them up". But...

    Sign Creighton

    At this point, even Some Mystery Dude Named Creighton is probably an upgrade for us. Doesn't matter if he's never played rugby league before. All I need to know is (a), Can he run? (Doesn't even have to be in a straight line, because as we all know, success isn't always a straight line.) And...

    [Resurrected] DCE is the worst halfback in the NRL

    Yeah, I'm still angry about that. Bad call to begin with, but that's what the Captain's Challenge is for. Paseka knew it was a bad call but nobody was interested in challenging it. DCE was nowhere to be found. The only explanation I can come up with (apart from a total leadership vacuum) is...

    The Clean Out 2024 Post

    Yeah, I noticed it last night for the first time. Quite bizarre. It's almost like he's concentrating on stopping the ball first, making sure it's not moving before he picks it up. So the pause is with the ball still on the ground. Whatever it is, it's not one smooth movement.

    Is Luke brooks the piece we’ve been missing

    One word answer: No. I like Brooks' effort and what he's trying to bring to the team, but we need a hooker and an impact backrower/lock. We've needed them for years.
