  Just need bigger brown paper bags with more cash to payoff the NRL and their lapdog referees, that’s all.

    Anyone who thinks the NRL are ‘untouchable’ and incapable of being influenced by money to the point of being corrupt is like an emu with its head in the ground and it’s arse in the air. If the NRL isn’t rigged to some extent then my names Donald Trump.

  I'm confused, you speak about the under 20s choking then talk about players we need for first grade.
  1 has nothing to do with the other and we have added 1 big forward for next year in Kane Evans, and our forward pack actually went really well this year. As for backs I agree we definitely need a big hard running winger to help out of our own end but was encouraged seeing Jennings effectiveness late in year and amount of 1 out hit ups he did early in sets.
  Where we struggled, particularly in the finals after the Melbourne game was mentally with silly errors under pressure. The same happened in under 20s today where after few things went against us the side seemed to drop a gear or 2 and looked rattled leading to scrappy handling and stupid penalties.
  To fix this probably need look at a new age mind coach or sports psychologist

  It’s no coincidence that FG and the NYC lose for the exact same reason. Dumb errors that invite the opposition into the match. It’s identical.
  Clearly it’s an issue.

    +1, Muttman. The U'20's team attacked better and defended better. After repelling about 5-6 sets in the second half they marched down field and scored to take the lead. Their issue was they kept turning the ball over or taking the wrong option with field kicks, constantly gifting Manly field position. And that drop in intensity + silly penalties + turning the ball over is what the FG side does for at least 20 mins per game. So in some way at club level we need to correct what amounts to mental lapses

    Yep, agreed. The issue is we have way too many dumb, ill-disciplined footballers across both teams (NRL and U20s).

    Don’t be so naive Slugg! If FIFA, the NFL, Horse Racing, Boxing, Cricket, and other huge multi-million dollar Sporting codes are and have been corrupted by greed, corruption and the influx of corporate hierarchy why, oh why Slugg to you think the NRL or the AFL is exempt? Do you think because this is Australia we are far away from those influences? Get your head out of the sand Slugg and stop smelling the roses, mate.

  Doesn't matter what grade it is we find a way to lose the unlosable.
