  • Remember when we got the Bulldog 4, John Simon, David Solomona, Adam Ritson. Players who were at the top of their game. How exciting was that. 
    But that really is the only time in the last 33 years that we transformed our team through recruiting. This would have to be the lowest ebb the club has ever faced. We can't even recruit NSW cup players. Unless the club have gotten so good at keeping secrets and have some huge irons in the fire, we are rapidly approaching bottom 8 mortgagees again. I fear, those in charge have will return us to the bad old days very quickly.

    • When guys like lume Lume get a contract but hiroti can't that's just sad lol 

  • The fact that only ESL teams are interested should be enough for us to stay away.

    If all we can do is chase average reserve graders then we may as well use our own average reserve graders and juniors and save a bit of coin.

  • Hiroti seems to be that ok type of squad player, not good enough for constant FG but too good not to have a deal. We need a player that is going to compete with SImonsson and Russell for that right wing spot.

    • No we need better players to replace Simonsson and Russell not more like for like average players to compete with them.

      • Watching Olam last night not sure he's the answer either 🤣

        • I would still take Olam over any of the other nuffies that have been suggested on here. 

          • Don't hate Olam but if we have to fork out 500k or something then no thanks. If we pay like 300 and storm covers rest then sure 

            • We were paying Waqa Blake 650k for this season.

              Compared to that, Olam at 500k is a bargain.

          • Agreed he was late getting up for market that led to a try last night and he also rushed in for another one that led to Collins try. 
            his defence has issues
