Does anyone else feel like a win/loss this weekend will dictate our season.

Personally, I think a win here would be massive. It would put us as 3-2 with a fairly soft draw. This would be a great result considering the teams we have versed, and would put us in the early finals picture

 

Conversely, I think a loss will be dire. I'm not too sure why to be honest, I just feel like it will put to sleep any finals run aspirations despite how early in the year it is.

  • I hope Guymer and Moretti come into the starting side with Tuilagi and Walker back to the bench.

  • Moses must play 6 so Ado Carr can get some ball ,at the moment he is being wasted ,while he's plays 7 the ball goes right.

  • If I'm parra give Cleary part ownership of the club to come, this is our only shot at glory. Cleary+Moses with iongi and smith+Tallyn. I'm so sick of the people that run the club.

  • Defensively we are the worst.  If we dont show some grit we are pretty much done.....and Mitch does not deserve an Origin call up with his form so far...

  • We could hire God almighty as a coach, it still wouldn't help if his R&R can't sign the players he wants or needs.

    We are playing chequers whilst others are playing chess.

    Straight up 2nd rate.

    How do we judge Ryles and the length of time he needs, when it's possibly more of a reflection on how long it takes R&R to sign the right players. If R&R had of signed some or any of those marquee players they went after, our team improves dramatically.

    Are we wasting Mitchs talent. We have a serious halfback, that needs support, and some go forward. It certainly appears we are pissing the opportunity away. I'd love to know what we are doing about it.

    • We're convincing ourselves that everything is on track and headed in the right direction. We just need to be patient. 
      I heard about Blaize and Sanders for years, they were coming to save us, yet here we are. The R&R team are buffoons. 

      • We are so far behind every other club in the recruitment department it's not funny, even the fucking dragons are a more preferable destination than the eels, the question is why?.

        How bad is mon at negotiating, seriously, wtf is he saying or doing that is putting players off coming here?.

        Here you go Mutts the warriors don't give 2 shits they are openly eyeing union talent and are building a pipeline to reserve grade using age grade union players high school and super academy and younger talent to build there depth and because development deals in the nrl are better than that of provincial unions and super contracts for these age grade guys they have an inside line to land them.

        • Well there you go. This makes me so mad. Don't the Warriors realise the should be signing players like JDB and Brian Kelly? 

        • It's a lot easier for the warriors to take that path, union is massive in New Zealand but is a minor sport here in Australia. Any half decent junior union player in Australia is also already playing league and the vast majority end up going with league by the time they are 17.

          We don't need to look at other avenues, although we should still venture down that path to some extent, we have more than enough talent in our junior system.  We need to do a way better job at recognising and developing that talent than we have done since Brian Smith left the club.
