The sad thing in all of this is that if Max Delmege hadn't run out of money back in 2010 we could have kept Des and none of this crap would have happened.
I'm surprised to see him having a sook about it given that Woods basically just pointed out that he was a grub as a player - which is pretty easy to demonstrate.
He probably is taking it to heart so much because he is copping the heat now that QLD have been woeful for the past 3 matches. Even...
Ballin excites me as a prospect. A 2x premiership winner with an impeccable personal approach to training, who has the respect of the old boys. I can't think of a better candidate to be honest. Just needs a good team of assistants.
If I had to choose between Savala and DCE I'd choose Savala hands down. A fraction of the price and a much bigger upside. DCE is only going to get worse from here, Savala is only going to get better.
I still think Tom and Jake are capable of playing first grade, we just can't afford to have them taking up so much of the cap. If both of them dropped down closer to $500k we could round out the squad with some better props and bench players.
Our forwards are the problem, not the backs. Unfortunately the injuries to Paseka and Olakau'atu mean we are basically stuffed now. Avoiding the spoon is all we have to look forward to.
Hadn't been watching but just tuned in then to see the Titans score to extend their lead to 20. That will do me. This side is awful. Let's just avoid the spoon and start planning for 2026
I think his motives would have been mixed, it came out back at the time that Turbo told Daley that his body wasn't right for Origin, I assume that was a factor for him. But I imagine it's also the case that he didn't want to miss a Manly game just to be 18th man for NSW.
