November Targets

[Mark from Brisbane]

I think most of our long-serving players are all just used to losing now. They're as surprised when they get a win as we are. And there's no actual leadership in our leadership group. I mean, our captain is abandoning ship in the hope of getting a bit more personal glory at the arse-end of his career. What else can we expect?

Not sure if you’ve noticed but even Jake ( who used to be morbid when we lost ) just looks a bit down these days , so you might be right.

I think the dollar chaser has a lot to answer for this year , we started off beautifully and really ever since his announcement we’ve only had one superb game , and and even the other wins haven’t been emphatic.

 

[Coops manly]

Hugo hart re signed 3 years apparently and clayton faulalo 2 years.
Saw it on a manly Facebook pages fingers crossed it is true.

I’m glad we missed out on Josh Kerr. I think looks good at the Dolphins but he’s a good penalty and mistake magnet and that’ll rear its head again next year!

We don't need more mature an aged prop. I honestly think the Raiders reject is the right fit at man, middle aged but inexperienced at NRL. He'll be willing to learn, but out to show he belongs after years in Ressies. Mobile. Why aren't we in the hunt. Why.

Jake is a natural leader, unfortunately it’s important for a leader to lead by example, and Jake’s best days are behind him. But agree, after him, there isn’t much by way of leadership material.

Agree…..if Jrbo or Trbo are not captains I’d go with Fogarty! Not sure how that would go down with the players tho! Other than that maybe Olakau’atu & Garrick co captains. I think Garrick would make a good captain…..in my opinion!

I’m starting to believe this.

The guy is regarded as a joke up here. I know multiple people involved with him over the years in footy. He's out of his depth with a vocabulary just good enough to convince similarly unintelligent people he has some idea.He got the Broncos job through the Rockhampton connection that has ****ed that club for years too.Paul Whyte( credentials -ex copper) only employed people from Rocky and Anthony was the only one available lol

No top flight origin standard player will sign while he is here. Take that as an absolute given.

That's one thing of the few things The Chaser did get right. He knows

Yet some posters think its a good idea to stick with him since the owner is all to blame irrespective of who the coach is. Those posters don't realise its harder to change owners than to change coaches, so its best to do nothing until we change owners. Delmege proved its not just all about money and managed to allowed the club to win 2 rings. Delmege isn't an Uncle Nick by any means but proved its possible to win with good decision making and lesser resources. I'd bet Delmege would never have signed DCE to the sort of contract that stifled the club for years.
Some think its better to stick with Seibs since no one in their eyes can do a better job...

Admittedly DCE's contract was more than it should've been, but Tom and Jake have both been on huge money , Jake far more than his worth and Tom played only half of the actual games, whereas DCE hardly missed any games

Can't disagree with that although the club have made so many bad decisions regarding other signings. I know this sounds very much in hindsight, but I was very much was for putting someone like Kaeo Weekes in the 5/8 spot over signing Brooks, at the time they signed Brooks.. That money could have been spent on a decent forward. We overlooked Weekes for Cooper Johns, Arthur and Brooks. Even if it didnt work out, it wouldnt have cost a cent.
