""It [resignings] should just happen with zero fanfare unless it's like Iongi or someone similar". That's a self goal blaming the ball. The resignings are not even on the Club's front page or news section. This fanfare is off a Zerotackle article. "
"Bluey, Not yet. I’m not tossing out the Ryles era in the foetal position, just because we missed out on some sexy big-bucked names. I’m going to watch how the team performs over time.

"Whatever he's on, it probably will not be enough to keep the competition away. We need to move quickly to lock him up longer term or we will end having to overpay to keep or have him signed from under our noses."

It is almost like they try to quell discontent with news that they think is positive. Nothing positive about extending, re-signing or upgrading talent - it should just happen with zero fanfare unless it's like Iongi or…"

What failure are you referring to?
Are you serious?, the roster failures, signing Brown, talagi to deals with player options then losing them after already losing sanders because his path was supposedly blocked but in reality it wasn't, going hard for Bellamy and Bennett but missing both because we started our bid too late, missing Galvin and keon after making it known we were very keen on both and pretty much went all in.
At one point having 7 players under contract with player options in their favour even though all 7 were already at the club before getting the player options and at least one not even having played first grade before getting the option.
Is that not enough failure?, how much more failure do we have to endure before you are satisfied that we have had failure?.
You can't be seriously concerned about losing Brown and Talagi. Who gives a shit, and you can throw Lomax in with them. I thought you were ok with Ryles? Would you still want Bennett or Bellamy? Galvin has done wonders since being at the dogs hasn't he. Master stroke by Gould on that one. Has there been a quote from anyone actually stating that we were that interested in KK? I saw someone claim that we valued him at $1million per season. I'm not sure any club has publicly valued a prospective player (apparently we have). The player options were a mistake that has now been rectified.
The roosters have lost a ton of talent, more than us and no one bats an eyelid. No calls for mass sackings in their organisation. This is a competition, it's competitive. As much as we'd like things to go our way each and every time they aren't. This is life. We've got direct competition to what we do plus the unknown of who knows what the fuck is going to happen in the future.
Well said.
I'm worried because there some of the best players that have come through our pathways the last decade and we allowed them to walk.
There both international players and what exactly are you replacing them with.Joash part time Pezet and then what.What club in a rebuild that's worth a damn let's the some of the best pathway talent leaves holes in contract structure that allowed other clubs to snatch them.It just doesn't happen and if it does you definitely have an answer for it.
Have we ?
Ryles wanted Talagi to stay but he choose the Clearys over Moses and the mentioned that's an issue that we seemingly haven't any answers as yet.
Coryn isn't even.an.eels supporter. His first team is the Warriors as he lives there. Coryn is only here to stir the pot
Coryn has been telling chief for years about the issues a lot are mentioning it's just chief is that blind it had to be 2's in front of his face to finally realise it.
The problem is the moves the club is making or plan they have going foward is it good enough with what the rest of the nrl are doing.I'd say not at first glance.
Adversity we'll when I see a lot of the same issues and we continue doing the samething and can't close deals well what am I supposed to think.We are getting beaten badly to the punch what are we missing can we take a trick.
The reason I suggest looking outside is purely common sense to me I've mentioned Fiji for years I mean what am I missing we got Radradra from there yet we haven't gone back to the tree yet he was the best winger we've had since Grothe senior what are we doing.
Our juniors are they good enough vs the rest of the comp can we get enough quality transference to win the comp off our development again that's a waiting game but my common sense again says why are we so insular why aren't we looking further afield when other clubs like Melbourne the Roosters and alike are.We got Dylan Brown doing the mentioned why aren't we doing it now what's the club missing.
They are but 2 things right there.Yet I hear the coach saying how important recruitment and retention is yet here we are offering millions getting nothing and letting our best developed leave.Is this our plan for success.
Adversity shit from what I can see our recruitment and retention is not that of a team looking to win a premiership.While time sounds great when your seeing things like this and no real adequate long term replacements coming it leaves me thinking what are these guys upto what am I missing.
Very worried for our future, smells like 2011-13 all over again.
Jack Williams was our best forward last year imo, I absolutely love the way he plays. He'll get better with a year under his belt. I hope we've got him for a while because he's the type of no frills toiler we need up front to partner Paulo. But, I actually prefer him on the edge.
I think someone said he was on about $400-500k as he was blocked from a starting position at Sharks.
